Leaning towards a blank space
An empty point an empty spot
Millions of people who don't belong
Sitting on the sideline staring in at me
And I look inside myself to find to clarity
And you stare back out at me
Telling me my sanity is a sure thing
Nothingness closes in on me
And my mind draws a total blank
Am I real or are you fake?
Is this feeling the end of only the beginning
Or am I seriously losing it this time
I stare inside myself to find some sense to make
And you are looking back at me
Telling me my sanity is a sure thing
I trust myself, only because I trust you
I trust you and only you
Because you're constant and won't let me down
So I trust myself, only because I am trusting you

Bleed
Bleeding for what you believe in
Throwing away your lives for anything
Suffering for what you know is true
When those in power are flawed
We all have a choice to make
We can sit and complain and kick and scream
Or we can work together to better this world
And if we bleed, so then we bleed
If we fall, so then we fall, and we will rise again
But if we love, we prevail
If we help one another we succeed
And if we push onward towards a bettered future
Our bleeding will not be in vain
Throwing away your lives for anything
Suffering for what you know is true
When those in power are flawed
We all have a choice to make
We can sit and complain and kick and scream
Or we can work together to better this world
And if we bleed, so then we bleed
If we fall, so then we fall, and we will rise again
But if we love, we prevail
If we help one another we succeed
And if we push onward towards a bettered future
Our bleeding will not be in vain

Sometimes (Life)
Sometimes life just doesn't turn out how you wanted to. And all you can do is sit there in disbelief that what happened really happened. You're powerless to change it. You're powerless to change anything. You can't help yourself, or anyone else. Yeah, sometimes life...it just doesn't turn out how you planned or anything. This is no one's fault, it's just how life works. Our plans are not always what fate has in store. We are not in control. We are not in control. I am not in control. I am not...
You know what? Sometimes life doesn't turn out the way you want it to...and that just sucks.
Cannibal
You don't care who you hurt
Anyone will do just fine
And you destroy life for fun
This time you've crossed a line
You're a cannibal
A flesh eater
Eating away at life
You're a cannibal
A meat eater
Causing misery and strife
You lift them up to tear them down
And watch the chaos that ensues
You break hearts and ruin for no reason
Your end is coming, it's overdue
You're a cannibal
A flesh eater
Eating away at life
You're a cannibal
A meat eater
Causing misery and strife
And I'm tired of it and am putting a stop to it...

Just Fine
I won't be sorry this time
For coming back
I can't feel shame for what I believe
That's a fact
I'm trying so hard to trust you
And I know
You won't let me down again
From below
Let me kiss you again
Let me hold you again
Let me know you're alright
Let me see you're doing fine
I'm putting up a fence now
Around my heart
But you're allowed inside
You were from the start
And I know I'm selfish
Let it be a lesson
I can't lie to you anymore
This is my confession
Let me kiss you one last time
Let me hold you before you leave
Let me know you're alright
Let me see you're doing just fine
I can't feel this here and now
I am done
I will be on my way now
Just for fun
We will be together if you like
I love you either way
Because you came running back
This is all I have to say
Let me kiss you always
Let me hold you forever
I know you and I are alright
I can see we're doing just fine
For coming back
I can't feel shame for what I believe
That's a fact
I'm trying so hard to trust you
And I know
You won't let me down again
From below
Let me kiss you again
Let me hold you again
Let me know you're alright
Let me see you're doing fine
I'm putting up a fence now
Around my heart
But you're allowed inside
You were from the start
And I know I'm selfish
Let it be a lesson
I can't lie to you anymore
This is my confession
Let me kiss you one last time
Let me hold you before you leave
Let me know you're alright
Let me see you're doing just fine
I can't feel this here and now
I am done
I will be on my way now
Just for fun
We will be together if you like
I love you either way
Because you came running back
This is all I have to say
Let me kiss you always
Let me hold you forever
I know you and I are alright
I can see we're doing just fine

Standing On A Lonely Rock
I am
You are
We are here now
I'm standing
You're sitting
We're here now
Letting go of
My hand now
We're free now
I am
You're not
Here anymore
I'm lost
But this makes me better
That's the only thing?
I'm so alone
But you're here
You are
We are here now
I'm standing
You're sitting
We're here now
Letting go of
My hand now
We're free now
I am
You're not
Here anymore
I'm lost
But this makes me better
That's the only thing?
I'm so alone
But you're here
