In the beginning, our lives have thrived
We used to dance in the puddles
The rain has never drowned us yet
Though our time has passed by
All our friends that we used to know
Seemed colder and distant
Our smiles felt non-existent
When I see my own reflection
And a stranger's what I find
Through my eyes, I can't help but cry
So I said
See the sun, watch it go
Turn away from all of your sorrows
Catch goodbyes from the stars in the sky
As wishes cried the tears have not dried
All our skies have greyed
All our leaves have fallen away
Though everything has changed
Our Sol will shine the same
We've been fighting, to stay awake, but these days
The world keeps throwing us under
It's hard to even stand up straight
Now the fog creeps much closer
On our own lives we used to love
Now tastes bitter and soulless
With our spirits all broken
I gazed at the river below me
Wishing I could disappear
With no fear, I spread my arms wide
Yet I see the life around me
With the trees all by my side
They stand by, with the sky so bright
So I said
See the sun, watch it go
Turn away from all of your sorrows
Catch goodbyes from the stars in the sky
As wishes cried the tears have not dried
All our skies have greyed
All our leaves have fallen away
Though everything has changed
Our Sol will shine the same

The white winter
Covers the field
Where we used to be
Free from all the weight of the world
Now it's all
Covered in snow
Weighed down by all the frowns
We can see from our homes
The world's been swirling
Up and down and around
No breaks in-between on the
Carousel we're riding
And everyone's been spinning out of control
Wishing it would all go
I close my eyes and dream
That the world isn't as bad as it seems
How I wish we'd soon be unconfined
Through the passing storm, with our fears all behind
Though there's not much we can do
There's our hope we will grasp on to
And soon there will be golden rays
And we'll fly away
Now the light spring
Flowers the field
Which reminds me
Of what it's like back when
When the colors
Were so vivid
Full of life and
Not washed out on living
And the world's been swirling
Up and down and around
No time to be healing
When we're focused on surviving
And everyone's has been on unstable ground
With fear that we would all drown
I close my eyes and dream
That the world isn't as bad as it seems
How I wish we'd soon be unconfined
Through the passing storm, with our fears all behind
Though there's not much we can do
There's our hope we will grasp on to
And soon there will be golden rays
And we'll fly away
Soon bad things will fade
With all the hope that we made

Meadows

Here we go again
Standing here alone under the rain
Trying to comprehend the pain
So you go online
To see another fire
Your doomsday burns brighter
With a one, two, three
Step away from reality
Into a place where we can find ourselves so free
Why live our lives, when we can be trapped in our minds
There's no reason to go back and even try
Let's cry so loud
While no one can hear you shout
In the Meadows where your fears are all allowed
It's time to go to sleep
Into the meadows where you can finally breathe
Then you walk back
Back into this dull, uninspiring world
Falling apart as it uncurls
So you say goodbye
Giving in to your desires
You step into the fire
With a one, two, three
Step away from reality
Into a place where we can find ourselves so free
Why live our lives, when we can be trapped in our minds
There's no reason to go back and even try
Let's cry so loud
While no one can hear you shout
In the Meadows where your fears are all allowed
It's time to go to sleep
Into the meadows where you can finally breathe
With no one by your side
You take, one, last dive

Head In The Clouds

Lying down on the grass
Watching starry nights and wonderful lights
"So tell me, what do you see"
"I see insignificant little beings"
"They look so nice"
"Look even closer, what can you find"
"I can find myself within each of those lights"
"Once shining all so bright"
"Now fizzling out with no signs of life"
But a star can only shine so bright
A bird can only fly so high
You can try to reach the sun
In the end you'll burn out
You're drowning underwater yet you don't want to swim back up
Your head's in the clouds out of fear
Body's getting frail with no time to rest
You can't live with your imperfections, you wish you were someone else
Now wake up from your dream
Staring at your phone with messages unseen
Do you remember the words you've said
And the actions that have left you filled with dread?
They're eating you up
Reading your journal, pen in hand
Shading out the aspirations you once had
"I'll never make it, not at all
For the bridges I've burned has made me fall"
The raindrops keep falling
On your tear-stained weary soul
Your whirlwind spins fast and out of control
And all you can do is observe
The damage that's been done
You're drowning underwater yet you don't want to swim back up
Your head's in the clouds out of fear
Body's getting frail with no time to rest
You can't live with your imperfections
You've been running from your truths and embracing your lies
When will you take off your disguise
Nothing's on fire but you're burning inside
You can't attempt to open your eyes to the truth that resides
With no one to hold you by your side
You go back to hiding in your mind
You find your life and the memories inside
And they tell you
Count from 1, 2, 3
And take a breath with me
Don't look back at your regrets
Don't listen to the failures that are in your head
Push away all those fears
For this moment, and this second, you're here
It's not your fault, it's not your fault
You can't shine as bright
You will see the sun in time
You wish the stars another goodnight
