It's All In Your Hands

What’s to say this world’s in your hands
When you stand and wait your turn?
You never knew you were more than a piece
Of a puzzle left out in the rain and the sun.
Everything is in the mirror you stare at
He smiles back,
His worst attack.
Your doubts begin dancing and calling for you
In sweet disguise,
To light your day.
I don’t blame my own desires,
So I turn and watch you burn.
Dancing with angels to serenade satan
And speaking through smiles just to numb your pain.
I don’t mind my own time.
I don’t mind my own company
In the daytime.

I Wonder
03:29
|

Sometimes I wonder
How sunlight and your smile
Can complicate things
But I don’t mind
And I’m alright
Just need to
Keep my eyes off you.
No I’m not
Not here for them
I’m here for myself
To see what I am
I heard you were here
And here I will stand
And fight through the feeling
'Till it means something.
Reaching out to hold a moment
Slipping through your fingertips.
Sometimes I wonder
Why feelings mean so much
When there’s no reason
But people come
And people go
Reminding me
What I already see
When you break down
To hold yourself up
Remember that
You chose your look
And I ain’t afraid
Of being myself
And we are afraid
Of seeing to close.
Setting out is never easy
But sometimes you have to leave.
Sometimes
Sometimes I will wonder
Why I can’t just act like you.
Stare me down
Staring down a face to know someone
That’s not how I
Would like to live.

Trust Yourself
04:36
|

If I were to just say never mind
You’d still feel these feelings you can’t hide
Your enemies are nothing
People speaking out of turn for everyone
Like animals they dance.
If you crawl to far
Then nothing seems to mean anything
If you crawl to far
Then what you see is everything.
Their eyes don’t see me
Their arms don’t feel
In the end you only trust yourself.
I am always at my own throat
I’ve only got one chance
Chances come and go.
I’ve spent so much of my time here being
Something that I know I could not stand
Judgement is my blindfold
Keep me in the dark if it means happiness
Where anarchists are free.
If you crawl to far
And your the only one, be yourself
I have crawled to far
Now I feel like someone else.
Their eyes don’t see me
Their arms don’t feel
In the end you only trust yourself.
I am so much better
Then I act sometimes
For you
I am so much better
Then I act sometimes
In the daytime, in the daytime
I’ll awake.
My eyes don’t see you
My arms don’t feel
In the end I only trust myself
That’s where you should look.

In The Night Time
05:17
|

There’s a feeling deep inside
Keeping me from being me
In the night time
I don’t feel at peace
I have grown but have not felt
Anything at all
I have thought myself to madness
Dreamed myself so tall.
When you’ve gotten used to
All these things you have
You will soon forget the meaning
That those things once had.
One morning you’ll wake up
And you’ll realize
Routines are nothing
Millions sit and pray for themselves
Hoping one day they’ll change.
I don’t walk around anymore
I just touch my feet to the ground
I don’t ask them questions anymore
I just speak then forget my name.
Knowing life or living it
Was not my choice
Being honest with myself
Now I can’t avoid it.
Always explaining
Why I am this way
Always explaining
Why I am this way.
I don’t walk around anymore
I just touch my feet to the ground
I don’t ask them questions anymore
I just speak then forget my name.

Sunday Morning
05:05
|
|||
And I can see
But tell me where I’m supposed to look
And tell me how
I’m allowed to feel when I come home
I don’t need your words
To make me feel like I’m worth something
I’m taking my time
To learn to live right now and be myself
And I have seen
Chances come and go before my eyes
And I can feel
But I cannot feel regret
I don’t need to walk a razor blade
To find it’s sharpest point
And freedom ain’t free
So most of us enjoy the comfort of our chains
They’re all you have
Burning blind in the peace of sunday morning
And everyone’s drunk a shameless generation of
Children walking as men
Who sleep their lives away
I’m only as strong as strong
As strong as you can make me in your dreams
I don’t take things here
To seriously
