So many tools now at your command
Insta anything,
twit the world with one hand.
I can see my house
From the edge of space
Just one step back
I got the whole human race
In one picture.
Every word and every thought that you think
Recorded somewhere by the time you blink
I’m not the kind to worry about things
Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings
Every one knows the road ahead
We all know the future
You know your’s and I know mine
We all had dreams yes we did
But it’s not what it seems, It never is
Life is the price you pay to see the future.
Love is the cost of living here today.
What time has done to me
My world you will never see
This mind fighting to get out
No one can ever know
About what I am
Where I come from
What I might be
You are the one
Lookin at the sunshine
Take it all in
What u see
It’s ok
I’m thinkin bout some hard times
Not goin back
Never be
Gotta keep your head
Ride the wind
Make it to the beach
Hang on to the bigger waves
Land in one peice.
Can you wake the mind
sleeping there in the darkness.
Here we are a bunch of misfits floating on a raft
In an endless sea from a shady past
No wind to blow the sail I see
The dust on my desk is getting deep
Sometimes it all just gets to me
And I no longer sleep
Where is the spark in this endless sea
I can’t find it like it can’t be found
My fingers struggle just to make a sound
No one would notice if I fell off and drowned
Always waiting for a moment
To pass you by
A couple of moments
Might just make you cry
Who would have known
If a couple stitches saved in time
Might have been enough to save one of your nine lives
So many so strong
With such great passion for so long
I’m so frail and I’m so weak
Why would I even try to speak
The road has been so very rough
And I’m so beaten down
But they don’t know what is coming up
When time comes slipping around
When you set out on this road
You think you can touch the sun
The world falls apart around you
You pick up the pieces and run
Pick a different song
Find a new rainbow to guide you
Love the night so long
Get the sunrise in your eyes
You won’t notice when it begins
On this journey unchosen
Patched up broken pieces
Make up everything in my life
Everything slightly damaged even inside
There are no straight edges
There are no clean lines
The paint is worn and tattered
The colors fading to your eye
I am so very sorry
For all that I have broken,
All that I have lost
And all I have wronged
Wounded with a slight
Or passed over in the moment
Not a matter of wrong or right
just some simple words left unspoken
We trample through the world,
No regret beneath or feet
They say don’t look back,
keep your head above the storm
We never see the ruins
Collecting on the trail behind us
All the pain left behind you,
all the love lost in the dust
You’ll see it in the end
with no time left to save yourself
only when it is too late
is the answer in your hand
don’t pass another day or
burn the bridge behind us
Now it’s fading in the dust
Don’t let your true love wait.
Every note I play
is a drop of my blood
A stain in time where I once stood.
So many notes left, yet to be
How many drops can be left in me.
Once the notes fell like rain.
I did not care from where they came.
I let them fall where ever they may
On drunken ears talking as I played.
So few left now, I know its true
So please take a note
if I play one for you.
I squeeze the last drops
from this aching hand
Let it calm the storm inside this man
It has all the hope I have left in me.
And I know in the end
it will set me free.
When the last drop falls
you’ll know it’s true.
My greatest joy was to play a tune.
Don’t let the night be a stranger
Don’t let the darkness
chase you away
The world is coming up around you
It’s a gift just like the sunrise
Don’t waste your turn to play
Look into my eyes, You know who I am
I’m still alive inside, I have not changed
I was the one, We dreamed the dream
But we could not run
when the darkness came
Where have I been
down these dusty roads
To many long nights I walked it alone
What am I searching for
every single night
Why do I lay awake
untill the morning light
Something is missing yes it’s true
You are right next to me, but it’s you
There are so many songs about time, ticking away,
Time is on my side but still it waits for no one.
Time is not your friend, not a friend to anyone.
Time is not on your side. Foolish Pride.
It’s here to make you run.
The sun is going to chase you every single day
into the darkness, where you may feel safe.
Then it comes back again tearing up the night
with the burning light exposing all your life.
You will never get away
as it chases you through each burning day,
and soon you’ll lose track of all time.
One night in the darkness
you might see where your life has gone
and you know the sun is a coming
but your just too tired to run.
I remember waiting for the sunrise,
so many times we sat up all night.
Every sunrise a miracle as it burst into our eyes.
Its ticking down the moments that remain in our small lives,
but I cannot hate the sun the way a dead man hates the gun.
It has given me the warmth I needed
and filled my darkness with the light.
So I spent the day thinking about the tracks of time
n the ones who brought me to life.
Yes they had it tough, they had it bad.
They had good times and they had the sad.
A child always faces a world more complex
than the simple lives that brought you to be.
We did not see it before they were gone
nor the fights they had won that brought us along
through the pain and the changes
that lead us here down through the ages,
where generations have passed through the portal of time.
The young ones get set at the starting line.
