Verse 1
I see my life ahead of me,
I know what I've become.
The past I tried to leave behind,
was something I couldn't outrun.
And nothing really seems to change,
except the people who wait to judge.
My path make me who I am,
And who I will be come.
Chorus
My life has gone full circle,
I'm ending at the start.
No fork for me to cross or choose,
no road that I can part.
Verse 2
Where were you when I found the mirror,
that showed my ugly side?
You turned away while I stared,
at the monster deep inside.
For the sun never rose for me,
I chased it all my life.
And every hand I ever took,
was lost out in the night.
Chorus

Death's Second Chance: Intro
David walked into the door of his small apartment. It was wholly unremarkable. Although the living room had few things in it, it looked very lived in. The old sofa had a few rips in its upholstery cover and one lamp sat next to it. The shade was discolored with a brown tinge. David put his keys on the old television that faced the sofa as he slowly walked to his kitchen. The shuffle he made when he walked was quiet. His downstairs neighbor never hear anything from him. David made a ramen cup and sat at his computer. Where everything else was hand-me-downs and second hand store items, his computer was the only nice thing he owned. It was alr

Problem with Perfection
There is nothing in my way.
I walk inhibited towards what I want.
Yet I anticipate.
Cautiously I step forward.
Shadows all around, I see no threat.
But I feel it all around, hide from me.
A breath on my neck.
My skin tingles.
And in my hesitation, I am lost.
No song to relieve me.
No story to comfort me.
Silence, my eternal companion.
In the distance, I see those close to me.
I hear nothing.
I realize my self-doubt haunts me.
Lingering like regret.
I try to see myself outside my shoes.
Each time I step into the deafening silence of darkness.
Moving, I see the reflection.
There I am, but not as myself.
My illusions are swept away.
My soul laid bare.
The public facade is gone.
The private face is the one I wear.
I am old, my feet tired.
My soles worn.
Legs no longer able to carry the weight of reinvention.
I am but one in a crowd.
As the music moves and sways me, I see nothing new.
The glamour of the world is gone.
No wonders, no awe.
Only the now, only the here.
I remember dancing under the moon.
Talking to the unseen.
They have all gone silent.
I traveled to different worlds.
Places where life, love, and song melded.
Now there is only here and there.

Verse 1
I got a fear of forever, and it's holding me back.
Girl you know that I love you, why do we need that?
I can't imagine my life, without you everyday.
But I need to let you know in my own way.
Chorus
It scares me to think about it.
But you have me for all time.
But you want the dress, you want the cake.
You want the memories all on tape.
Your family smiling, and my family too.
When we look in each others' eyes and say, I do.
Verse 2
I've been hurt before, and that wasn't good.
That ring changes everything, and baby that's true.
I'm so lost within you, never want to go home.
I don't be left all alone.
Chorus
It scare
Verse 1
She's on again, I like to see her smile.
She's on again; she'll kick it for awhile.
And she's on again, everything seems to be alright.
But then she's off again, and I got ditched out in the night.
Chorus
She's on again, off again.
On again, off again.
She's on again, off again.
On again, off again.
Verse 2
Then she's on again, and you know I'm glad she's here.
She's on again, and we talk about it over a beer.
And she's on again, and it seems like a brand new start.
But then she's off again, and this time she has stole my heart.
Chorus
She's on again, off again.
On again, off again.
She's on again, off again.
On aga
Verse 1
She had a lot to say, most of it was bad.
There were a lot of things, a lot of things that made her sad.
And all this time, she felt all alone.
Determined, to do it on her own.
Chorus 1
Even though I told her, I'd help her,
To move along. She didn't want me.
Discarded,
I'm cast aside,
Discarded,
To give her time.
She didn't want me to know how much she love me so
She wanted to be free, away from me.
Verse 2
Later on, we talked for a while.
I found out, it was all denial.
Her family, her school, and her job.
She wanted, a release from it all.
Chorus 1
Even though I told her, I'd help her,
To move along.&
All around him, they stare.
He moves in despair thru the waves of the faceless masses.
Hands reaching out, but none are able to pull him away.
As they walk, they pass by.
Sinking into the deep reaches, light fades.
His friends becomes blurred, his path unclear.
Soon, all is dark.
He can not breathe.
In suspension, nothing changes, but the pain never fades.
Only dulls his senses, tires his body.
Then there is nothing, the absences of existence.
And yet there is no release.
A long way from home,
My path is lost in memory.
Time pushes me past my life,
My feet bleed from the walk.
And yet at times I stop and look back.
I smile at the friends gone by.
The life I've left behind.
And cry at the lost of it all.
So unclear is the road I tread.
No signs or co-pilot to show me the way.
The radio haunts me with music I've forgotten.
And no other station can come thru.
Good or bad, I am a wanderer.
My shoes worn down to the soles.
My body aches, my eyes are are blinded.
The sun never sets, only waxes and wanes.
Verse 1
Found a new calling in this tattered husk.
A bleached soul, fresh with stains.
A place full of despair and musk.
A crossing of chaos, ever swerving lanes.
The apathetic numbness subsides.
Pain of regret overwhelms my senses.
A mental war of vengeful tribes.
The spectators disapprove and cringes.
Chorus
He is beacon of all that is unworthy.
He is the sign, broken and dirty.
He is the path of good intentions.
He is the step to hellish dimension.
His life is marred with lost chances.
His friends give sorrowful glances.
His wings are torn and gone.
His suffering is eternal and long.
Verse 2
Hands broken and bloody from
