MIRROR

I’m just like you
We’re never gonna give up
Let’s face the truth
We’re never gonna win

The things we do
Are never gonna give us
The freedom to
Never want again

I could see it in your cold dead stare
You were running up the Penrose steps
Searching for something that wasn’t there
I could see it
I could see it in a memory
Thought I hated you but it was me
Seeing me the way I used to be
I could see it

It’s hard to be
Content within the moment
Reaching for peace
Like a carrot on a stick

The saying’s true--
That it takes one to know one
Got a clear view
Of myself through someone else

I could see it
In the mirror

DREEM

I don’t mind spending all of my time in a dream
At least then, I have direction in which I can lean

If my dreams came alive and everything I wanted came to be
Would I lose my drive and wither away at the seams?

I’m tired of everything giving me nothing
So I’m crying myself to sleep
As I slide deeper inside of a dream

I can’t deny it--enough is not enough for me
But I keep on trying to chase the possibility

TRIED SO HARD

You can have a mind of peace
I’ll put it in my pocket so that
You can have a mind of ease
I’ll put it in my locket so that you
Put in my pocket
Put it in my locket

Yeah I’ve tried so hard to get far from now
Lined up all of the stars
Dug my heels in the ground
Wasn’t ‘til I stopped my striving that I found myself
Dropping down my guard, living life unbound

You can have a peace of mind
I’ll take it off the docket so that
You can have a piece of time
I’ll take it off the clock-in so that you
Take it off the docket
Take it off the clock-in

SAME MISTAKES

I’ve been doing all
I’ve been doing alright
Just a matter of
Just a matter of time

Until all my patience runs dry
My inner demons come to life

I keep making the same mistakes
And playing ‘em on repeat in my brain
I’m ridin’ the ring of fire with no brakes

A predictable
A predictable sight
Irresistible
Irresistible dive

Down to the depths where vices thrive
Bottom feeder devoid of life
