What if we haven't lost our way
What if we haven't lost our minds
And chose to seize the day
What if we know just how to rise and shine
What if we see our circumstances now
Forget the end, bend past!

Here we go again
A past worth saving
At last we're paving
The path less taken

Why not believe in making change
Why not perceive through open minds
Why not be free to go and play
Why not adventure out to find our eyes
Why not ignore the broken promises
Still addressed to lies!

Here we go again
A past worth saving
At last we're paving
The path less taken

Here we go again
A past worth saving
At last we're paving
The path less taken

We breathe in time
We bleed through second chances
Believe in signs
That nothing matters if everything just...

Stays the same...

Stays the same!
Stays the same!
Stays the same!
Stays the same!

Here we go again
A past worth saving
At last we're paving
The path less taken

Here we go again
A past worth saving
At last we're paving
The path less taken

. . .


If only I could show you
Just how much I really care
Everyday I'm torn apart
Not knowing if you're even there

Yet again
You're a testimony
Now and then
That a greatness occasionally can come along

Wherever I stand
You're the one
Who'll be right there with me
Wherever I land
You're the one
Who'll be there to break my fall

Whether fast or slow
If only I could know you
So every way I feel
A part of something like you always do

Yet again
You're my sanctuary
How and when
That a greatness eternally does come along

Wherever I stand
You're the one
Who'll be right there with me
Wherever I land
You're the one
Who'll be there to break my fall

Wherever I stand, wherever I stand
You're the one
Who'll be right there with me
Wherever I land
You're the one
Who'll be there to break my fall

No matter where
No matter how
I know that you'll be
There by my side
It feels so right

The sting you share
The fact I'm found
I know more about
What lies inside us gives me life

Wherever I stand
You're the one
Who'll be right there with me
Wherever I land
You're the one
Who'll be there to break my fall

Wherever I stand, wherever I stand
You're the one
Who'll be right there with me
Wherever I land
You're the one

. . .


I am broken and apart at the seams,
It's been a long ride for us,
To now relive everything I can't have,
Is now the test for us,
I have spoken,
I am going anywhere I can,
I'm trying my best to;

Be the one that you want,
Hide the sun, and move on;
Blood on my hands,
Stuck in the tracks,
Nothing to show, no place to (go);

My heart missing at the start this morning,
It's just another day I guess,
My skin callused,
My pain's pointless,
About to tear a man,
Who's trying his best to

. . .


The manic stage,
A scary phase
Feeding all I know,
A cloudy haze,
The hectic pace,
Strips me of my throne,
It seems there is nothing but you,
To please in this world around you,
And in this place,
In my domain you're always in control;

Not the same without you like you really care;

I never thought you'd be the one to bring me down,
I never seem to hold onto a hand that holds true,
A never ending maze of crazy days have come an end,
(I find I'm reaching out again),
It doesn't have to be this way;

I lie awake,
Make no mistake
I'm so alone,
My body aches,
Nothing I take
Could fix me like your hold,
It seems there is nothing but you,
To please this withdrawal now from you,
And in this place in my domain you're always in control;

Not the same without you, like you're even there;

When I think about this loss too much,
It accumulates,
I realize just what i've done,
With my fate,
I've blown my chance for better days
Come back to me

. . .


I gave it a chance I walked on glass,
And what did it get me?
Nothing,
I opened up I showed you love,
Why couldn't I see this?
Coming,
I've made mistakes but you take the cake,
But it's bitter so take it!

The end of days,
A forceful change,
I've tried my best,
You were never there for me;

You broke my back and played me,
You won just by driving me crazy,
You know i'm gone but maybe,
There's still another breath of life out there for me;

I played the same, but you changed the game,
I'm not gonna take it!
Sitting,
I'll be the man, the better man,
The bitter is sweet when you taste when!
Standing;

A sacred life,
Has been denied,
I've tried my best,
You would never care for me;

I hear what you say,
I've seen my mistakes
And I know i'm okay
Cause you're driving me crazy

. . .


Why my skin,
My skin is bent and so different,
I don't even recognize,
Myself anymore;
Who's this shadow mocking me,
How's he know so vividly,
Where's my face I want to know,
Destroyed my taste exposed my soul;

My days seem to be numbered in vain,
My ways seem to allow,
Re-attain the point of view
It's not just me it's me and you;

It's natural,
The fear of growing older,
It's natural,
The mirror's getting meaner,
Until you realize,
You're meaningful,
And that'll last forever;

I can see,
I can see beyond me,
The problems that I have,
Are only a blessing;
As the days seem to unwind,
Leave a proud calendar behind,
There's a place I want to go,
It's not a race it's even flow;

I know, there's no way to break these chains,
More so, I embrace the change,
Entertain that state of mind
Than you don't ever have to stop time;

As the days seem to go passing by,
Remember that you can't rewind,
But what you can do
Is not when but who it's me and you

. . .


These are the eyes that i've been shown,
This is the voice that you control,
This is the consciousness that's grown,
These are the truth's i've come to know,
Who sees through broken filters,
Who hears through empty drones,
We bleed the sap of everything,
I wonder who is listening;

You are the wind as you are the ground,
You speak through me,
And now i've found I hear you (perfectly);

Mother, mother,
Land and sea,
I am you and you are me as one,
Father, father,
I believe,
Defeat the earth and you defeat it's
Sons, and daughters,
Everything,
I am you and you are me as one;

These are the answers in our bones,
These are the thoughts to bring us home,
This is our chance to love and grow,
These are the truth's i've come to know,
We need to fix the filters,
We have to hear the tone

. . .


You were everything I need
You were the only air I'd breathe
You were the method to my madnesses
The fact I chose to let you go
Rapes me from head down to my toes
Especially knowing you're the one for me

I didn't mean the things I said
If I could take them back again I would
But you're not home tonight
I didn't mean to break your heart
If I could fix it even start I would
But you're not home to-, you're not home tonight

You weren't the first to hold my key
But you were the one who set me free
You were the answer to my problems and I solved them
And I'll wake everyday and I'll wonder
In this place where you're no longer there
Is it fate, my mistakes will remain being all I have, don't say that its over

I didn't mean the things I said
If I could take them back again I would
But you're not home tonight
I didn't mean to break your heart
If I could fix it even start I would
But you're not home to-, you're not home tonight

What have I done
What have I done again
What have I done
What have I done again
What have I done
What have I done again
What have I done
What have I done again

I didn't mean the things I said
If I could take them back again I would
And tell you you were right
I didn't mean to break your heart
If I could fix it even start I would
But you're not home tonight
I didn't mean the things I said
I didn't mean the things I said
I didn't mean the things I said

I don't want a hall of fame
I just want you to know my name
I can't see just where you are
But it's alright

Somewhere out there in the night
Someone's feeling out of sight
I can't see just where you are
But it's alright

I can be the one you run to tragedy
I can be the one to show you destiny
I can be the rock you're needing
I can be the crutch to help you be
Who you want to be

I can't fix a broken frame
But I can help you all the same
I can't see just where you are
But it's alright

Somewhere out there in the night
Hiding from the will to fight
I will be your shining star
And give you light

I can be the one you run to tragedy
I can be the one to show you destiny
I can be the rock you're needing
I can be the crutch to help you be
Who you want to be

When all is said and done I'm still behind you
The past is come and gone just move on through
No matter when it is you come to see
Who you want to be

I can be the one you run to tragedy
I can be the one to show you destiny
I can be the rock you're needing
I can be the crutch to help you be
Who you want to be

. . .


Everyday now seems the same,
Only the faces change,
Every time I visualize myself,
I'm nowhere to find in hell,
Surrounded by evil from inside,
Surrounded by people that have died;

Karma take me away;

Caught in this web i'll drown tonight,
Sinking away numb to the fright,
There's nothing left I can relate,
True memories so filled with hate;

Grind my teeth and
Bite my tongue when,
I know where i'm headed,
Leave my senses,
To see offenses,
I know where i'm headed;

Take me away from all these shrouds of doubt,
And away from nothing, I can't live without

. . .


It's dark outside,
It's cold and empty like my mind,
But who would know,
I can't make it right,
I know it's on me but I can't fight,
And i'm on my own,
And I don't get to watch you grow, for now;
Held back away by reality,
The fact is all I know;

The footprints,
That I left,
Were meant to lead me back to home,
The distance,
Between us,
Has grown so bitter and so cold,
The permanence of silence,
Erodes them leaving just a hole;

The lights are alive,
The glare is burning in my eyes, for now,
It's nothing like i've ever been,
Shown in my life, but now;

All along the path we're taking,
Never had a chance we're breaking,
Breaking down i've lost my bearings,
Bearing all the cost by missing,
Missing out on what's worth sharing,
Leaving me with no control

. . .


It's all right to be concerned, you know that
There is not a second chance
You don't have to change the world
Since no one seems to care
Is anyone aware?

We've build these walls strong and proud
We'd never thought one day they'd all fall down
We've come so close, we've gone so far
Where did we let things fall apart?

It's all right to be unnerved to learn that
There is not a back-up plan
We don't have to save the world
Since no one seems to care
Is anyone aware?

We've build these walls strong and proud
We'd never thought one day they'd all fall down
We've come so close, we've gone so far
Where did we let things fall apart?

. . .


Everyday seems to dress the same
I'm awake and I might need for a change
So who do you want for me to be?
You're looking for something that isn't me
Everytime I close my eyes
I hear those lies inside:
"We're no good together, we're no good together"

We wake up
And you break up
This happens everytime
(Just make your mind)
You break up
And we make up
It happens everytime
(Just make up your mind)
"We're no good together, we're no good together anymore"

In a way I can understand
What you say is just a part of my plan
But why is your voice so mean to me?
I'm so worn down how you wear on me
Everytime I close my eyes
I hear those lies

We wake up
And you break up
This happens everytime
(Just make your mind)
You break up
And we make up
It happens everytime
(Just make up your mind)
"We're no good together, we're no good together anymore"

I would stay
But I can't give in of all that doubt
So why do you think that your voice is mean to me?
I wish that instead
There was a way you could understand
What I say is just a part of where I am

We wake up
And you break up
This happens everytime
(Just make your mind)
You break up
And we make up
It happens everytime
(Just make up your mind)

Wake up, break up with me
This happens everytime
(Just make up your mind)
Break up, make up with me
It happens everytime
(Just make up your mind)
"We're no good together, we're no good together anymore"
