Saturday Evening and it’s raining in my mind
You’re all I can think about and I’m falling into time
A constant thought of you stares me right in the eyes
I’m starving to know you better
it eats me from the inside
Wonderful, miserable days
They get me every time
You and I making history
Like a fine old red wine
Mysterious, retrospective days
I wonder how I’m defined
You and I make history
As we draw the line
Never before have I felt
These feelings left and right
I need find a way to bring myself into the light
So many familiar faces entering my life
But I’m lonely as ever
Won’t you come along for the ride
Wonderful, miserable days
They get me every time
You and I making history
Like a fine old red wine
Mysterious, retrospective days
I wonder how I’m defined
You and I make history
As we draw the line
Some day I will sound those good alarms
Some day I will hold you in my arms, and some day
Some day you will know me
Some day you will show me
Some day we will not be so far apart
And some day there will come a day
When our
Our love is real
When our
When our love is real

Stay Awake

Wiser words ring through my mind
Even so
I will try
Lost and found, story time
I know
I will find
Don't give in to the seasons
Don't go astray, your ride is leaving
Be patient, the heart stops bleeding
Keep racing, your lane is leading
To where you've been dreaming
Stay awake! Eyes on the road!
Miles gone behind, miles to go
It'll take, some time, before, you find
Dotted lines, changing signs
Changing times
It'll be alright
Snapshot shines, window reminds
Mirrored times
Million minds
Don't stay out, temperatures freezing
Don't swerve away, your slope is slipping
Keep painting, your canvas glistens
Don't just listen, you keep repeating
All that you've been hearing
Stay awake! Eyes on the road!
Miles gone behind, miles to go
It'll take, some time, before, you find
And I know it's hard
When your world is broke
And it's such a shame
When we hear those names
And it’s such a game
We are pawns, all the same
Education run just like a corporation
It'll take some time
Before, you find
You will find

The Race
03:24

I know, a couple of people
they'll do whatever it takes
To make, you believe they've earned their place
But I've got eyes, and I've got ears
and I've looked around,
Listened to the sound of a thousand cheated tears
The race for fame
The race for shame
Not a game I want to play
The things you say
The people you play
But I don't wanna be that way
Another day, when I give way
To the sense that that's okay
The race for fame
The race for shame
I don't wanna be that way
They say good things happen starting with the love you make
You fake, appears to me it's what you take
Now hold up, wait
Lemme get this straight
Don't mean to say I don't appreciate you and all the people that know my name
But I'm sick
And tired of this faithless fate
Killing truth and getting away
The battle between love and hate
The race for fame
The race for shame
Not a game I want to play
The things you say
The people you play
But I don't wanna be that way
Another day, when I give way
To the sense that that's okay
The race for fame
The race for shame
I don't wanna be that way
One day, we will see
To trust reality
One day, we will see
A world in harmony
One day, we will see
To trust reality
One day, we will see

Write me a poem
Words never spoken
What I never knew
Paint me a picture
A sibylline elixir
Color it Blue
I will go towards the light
Light this existential life
Something to catch my mind
Falling away from time
Dream of mine
Electric formation
Prismatic vibration
Surreal surround
Drifting sedation
Lasting elation
Already found
Quiet wind humming
Waves overcoming
Radiant youth
Peel back the layers
Semblance in phases
Sentient truth
I will go towards the light
Light this existential life
Something to catch my mind
Falling away from time
Dream of mine
Searching for something
Beyond my wildest desire
Lately I get so tired
Waking up without it
Looking for love, in time it will come
Maybe in a dream tonight
I close eyes so tight
I know this heart will find
I will go towards the light
Light this existential life
Something to catch my mind
Falling away from time
Dream of mine
Someplace I know I'll find
Somewherescape

A Song

I remember the day
You first came up to me
Seemed like a start
A tale of two hearts
So unbelievable
Should I have believed at all?
How I wish it was a year ago
Time was slow
And we'd barely met
In a year or so
I'd ask you
I'd finally know what you meant
Woken up, daydreaming
You've been waiting for me
Your bleeding heart
I'd trade mine for yours
A spirited curse
Or was I dreaming all along?
Losing track easily
Where we're supposed to be
The fall is my fault
Wish I could give you my all
The only one to rescue me
Has to be you or me
How I wish it was a month ago
You asked me if I'd be your friend
In a month or so
I might know
Your story
And what it all meant
How I wish it was a week ago
And I could say
You're still my friend
In a week or so I wouldn't know
What anything ever meant
Do I wanna live tomorrow
Just to find someone
I've never met
