(Dreams are forever reoccurring!) (If life is what happens When we can't fall asleep We need to build one another's perches Your family and friends Will always stab you in the front The end result Is not one damned thing after another It's one damned thing over and over We aren't contempt And this is how we learn!) Don't you see it's time To let go of everything? That's keeping us from the truth Keeping me from you So what good are all the pictures If they have yet to get the frames? Leave the past in the past And focus on what you don't want framed (Dreams are forever reoccurring!) And life is what happens When we can't fall asleep And dreams are the same thing As nightmares Don't you see it's time To let go of everything? That's keeping us from the truth Keeping me from you So what good are all the pictures If they have yet to get the frames? Leave the past in the past And focus on what you don't want framed Leave your past in the past We don't have to keep All the mistakes we've made (You are keeping me awake!) Leave your past behind you (Dreams are forever reoccurring!)

This is the real world in real time And I am sick of rendering So toss the seeds on cement And see if they can grow alone There is a reason behind weeds When walls are broken we can break Through them all To see what continues to grow It's hard to see humility Because humanity is lead by us men And we all need exorcisms and exercising {were} born with two sides and need to stay in shape You're so insecure standing in your own skin Someday you won't need it And I can't do this on my own And I will always be an imperfect human just being me, just being me And I will always be an imperfect human being me Stop worrying about where you've been because it brought you back to me It's hard to see humility Because humanity is lead by us men And we all need exorcisms and exercising {were} born with two sides and need to stay in shape And we can be delivered even if it's late Being late is okay if we reach our destination I am not afraid to die I am not afraid to die I am terrified of life I am terrified I am not afraid to die I am not afraid to die I am terrified of life I am terrified You're so insecure standing in your own skin Someday you won't need it anymore I will walk alone

So go ahead and turn away See where it gets you in the long run I'm trying my hardest to grow When its embedded in your bones It grows with Are we all punished For sins of fathers It seems so pointless To have an existence In a world misused It seems so pointless To have an opinion When yours is never true Just try to imagine A life without love But death has its hold on us So think upon beauty Its like painting a picture When everything's shaded in grey And even when we've been face to face We have never seen eye to eye So take a good look in mine Its a window to a soul that knows not why You can't continue this direction It's detours and dead ends Don't join this kind of company Unless your joining to fight Fight for your life Losing the fight Is getting knocked down And staying there Losing the fight Is getting knocked down And staying there So why do I turn away Its getting me nowhere Nowhere in the long run Just try to imagine A life without love But death has its hold on us So think upon beauty Its like painting a picture When everything's shaded in grey And even when we've been face to face We have never seen eye to eye So take a good look in mine Its a window to a soul that knows not why The world can't make you faithless When faith is first Where is your faith?

I've got my father's teeth And my mother's bite marks We are all victims of consequence And we can build it or tear it down With the same two hands We all fail But we are not all failures Preaching to never fail We don't have to live like this Don't live your life in shame Chasing what was too far away It's not a contest And look if you want You speak and you speak But not in volumes to me Broken homes lead the way, for twisted tongues Broken homes, lead way for twisted tongues We will not be forgotten This will be the reason I refuse To find to a way break this empathy We want too easy I found a foothole in the faultline There was only a voice There was only Him And this is what it said I still love you somehow And I still love you somehow Don't live your life just yet Chasing what was too far away It's not a contest And look if you want You'll speak and you'll speak But not around to me Broken homes lead the way, for twisted times I still love you I still love you somehow I still love you somehow I still love you somehow And I always will You've got a tape worm Growing within your soul You're gonna have to dig it out alive, dig it out Dig it out, dig it out I still love you somehow And I still love you somehow

We don't feel the world turn Take these steps in my days One at a time We all start the same dreams Don't try them, you're asleep (We all try to run from our problems And straight to the answers We all spend our time chasing grace But not listening to own my faith Without that faith we'd just decay!) We are not useless We are not useless just used And I see something In you I'm going to prove (Useless and used!) We've been used (This is what we're all going through!) Whom ever loses us, whom ever loses us (Whom ever loses us, whom ever loses us!) We are not useless We are not useless just used And I see something in you I'm going to prove (Useless and used This is what we're all going through!) (You never know when you're close Close inside Until you reach inside and force it out Will we ever we make the demons leave? So we can learn in peace We've all got it buried underneath!) Whom ever loses us, whom ever uses us They say that home is where the heart is It's all we've got to part with We all have to find love alone They say that home is where the heart is You make me your home We won't feel the world turn If we keep standing still

Twenty something Years of seclusion Seems to be quite enough Just get me out of this town It's like a dried up Lake full of debris and I am starting to drown Sometimes I can see clearer Through rear view mirrors Than windshields with All the places I've been How do I find my destination? Neither one of us is getting out Of the situation alive Until the other one dies And it won't be me You clench your hold like you clench your teeth And I will send you back to hell Holding your jaw Like your demon teeth Your demon teeth Put your ghosts in the past Don't put your torment back Beneath its reoccurring Pull apart its jaw And smash out its teeth Who do I believe? When everyone sees and speaks Based in part by what they themselves believe I'd rather see a man of god Than hear from one Any day of the week So take hold of these demons Cast them into pigs But don't let a single one of them leap Take their filth And let them learn (No, no, no, no) Just let them teach Instead of reading the book (I've read the book) Try Meeting The Author (I've met the author) That's my problem, I've had the devil on both sides With god at the bottom Chin Up Chin Up He doesn't pick where he stands I pick where I place him

In spite of my cheerful demeanor I'm afraid to set foot in the world We watch the same dead clocks These small hands need to meet the larger again And I chose a road, the one I didn't know Now it has brought me here The stories I've have gathered in travels I wouldn't trade for the years back There's a war inside I need something to get me through this Without you, am I ever myself? The only thing holding us back is us (?) And ghosts from the last time Are all the same We can live again All we can do is try and try and try and try to change For ourselves The night has been my covering And the day is my disguise But I can't seem to stay far enough away From self created lies For those of you who question your purpose Look inside the eyes staring back at you Past your devil They long for purpose too And maybe that's yours, I know cause it's mine You are the second-hand air that I breathe And these songs were made for you to sing before me And they are more than just sound And you are more than just an audience This is the family that I've found The night has been my covering And the day is my disguise But I can't seem to stay far enough away From self created lies I chose a road, and now I know Nothing will ever come easy I chose this road Staying asleep is worse than falling awake I chose this road Standing asleep is worse than falling awake

(You said to live life And live it in abundance But you yourselves are abundantly dead!) (And if not for a reason I would have another reason to stay I need to find a place Where I can fill my faith I don't need it taken!) (Oh, I will learn to let you go Oh, learn to let you go Back to your shadow!) Take me to the place Where I can restore my faith Oh, I wrote and said that you are skin One day they will be The earth and it's world (Are you a preacher or a pasture A teacher and a bastard? Are you... Are you a preacher or a pasture A teacher and a bastard just like me? Just like me!) (You said to live life Since the day we were made We've all started to die But I can only listen once Well, nobody ever dies once!) Take me to the place Where I can restore my faith Oh, I wrote and said that you are skin One day they will be The earth and it's world (Go on, speak for yourself Speak for yourself!) (Pull a bunch of scarecrows Pull a bunch of scarecrows!)

Has the dark been forever calling When I stare off alone is the devil with I didn't create the disease I just diagnosed I won't be missed but I just can't go No, don't take me back there Don't take me back there, no Bury me a hole in the sky Not in my mind No one ever makes it out of life alive But that's no excuse for you to not try Has the dark been forever calling When I take trips alone is the devil with I didn't create the disease You were created in me No, don't take me back there Don't take me back there, no Our life's a road not a destination In my travels tonight you were my inspiration You'll make it past this night more alive The cleanest we'll be Is the day before We're buried in soil Where we'll make peace with worms And I've seen you in dust But not dirt And you'll make your peace But you still won't know Where you belong But I'll be there with you The world tried to make me put A hole through my own head And bury me there It would be too easy This is the lost not the last And I've always needed Help we all have our scars to show They will forever try to close We've all made mistakes but grown from The last song that you'll hear will be your own

I'll never know, comfort till the sun sets I've always known the struggle when the light and my eyes met They connect Put me back in the earth I came from dust, and not dirt You made me from dust, and not dirt You made me from dust, and not dirt You made me from dust, and not dirt You made me from dust, and not dirt You made me from dust, and not dirt You made me from dust, and not dirt
