Try To Hide

I’ve said enough for a while
It’s just the same old process
I’m not afraid of the dark
The lies and the spark
I won’t cover my eyes
I won’t run through the day
To make my escape
Or try to hide
I will look for the words
To conquer the urge to fly away
And leave before I know
It’s been a long road to heal
The scars reveal their sorrow
I’m not ashamed as a son
Of the man I’ve become
But I still fight my disguise
I won’t run through the day
To make my escape
Or try to hide
I will look for the words
To conquer the urge to fly away
And leave before I know
Sometimes I can’t see
Blinded by desires
To be free and live according to me
As selfish as that sounds
I know
I could still exist inside a vacuum
Where nothing else could penetrate
A summer holiday
Until it’s time to say goodbye

Drift

Many of us fear the blank page
Mystery and silence
Little guidance for
Weathering silent storms
Formed loosely over misunderstandings
Crash landing through so many trees
Always in need of someone
I should have learned long ago
To believe in the flow
Of love in my heart
As the birds in the sky
Preside over tear-stained eyes
Looking to satisfy the world
Many of us can lose our passions
Stray from the path to freedom
Turning inside out
Embers glowing
But still unsure of its meaning
Is it pleasing me?
Or just teasing what could be
The light in my dream
I should have seen long ago
Every high has a low
And the place between is unknown
As the birds in the sky
Preside over all who died
Trying to satisfy the world
See if the day brings some rain
Rushing down stairs to the drain
Careful to not drift too far away

They say there is only one way through
Time has a way of showing you
All our best mistakes
Resold as something new
But I’m beginning to lose my faith
And I wouldn’t know where to start believing again
Cause we can’t tell the difference between Gods and psychopathic men
Who will follow in their footsteps?
When love is a killer
Disguised as a friend
They say that you will just figure out
How to resist drowning in your self doubt
You can read those books
Then forget all about
The truth in some dusty pages
That cut you down
And I wouldn’t know where to start believing again
Cause we can’t find a balance between chaos and zen
Who wants to admit that they pretend?
When fear is a switchblade
Disguised as a pen
Who are we/Who we are when we’re not trapped inside
All of our vices and truth denied
Right in focus
While no one noticed but you
And I wouldn’t know where to start believing again
Cause we can’t think of reasons to be at peace with who, where and when
How many messages are left to send?
When power is creation
Disguised as the end

Sometimes I'll be listening to music and a little disappointed. "Is this it? Is this all music can offer?" This really broke that for me, and reminded me of why I love music.
