It begins within and without
The grandest experience is love
It's love there can be no doubt

The first time it happens you fall
Your heart wants to burst from it's skin
The grandest experience is love

The air starts feeling really thin
As the breaths get harder to take
Your heart wants to burst from it's skin

You start wondering if this could be fake
If reality could burst back in
As the breaths get harder to take

Patience is your begetting sin
It begins within and without
If reality could burst back in
It's love there can be no doubt

Mud Doesn't Become you...

Never meant to be

For fiction fails us now

There are no fairy tale princes

No midnight rides

No pumpkin carriages

All there is

The here and now

Crashing notes of reality

Burdens of normality

Pain and regret

Tempered by the fact

That at least

I’m not dragging you

Down with me

For as much as you

Would raise me higher than I’ve ever been

I come from the gutters

People tend to get trapped here

I wouldn’t want you caught

Mud doesn’t become you

Every Day

There’s beauty in decay

There’s life in death

For by fighting for our lives

We fight for every breath

We cling to the everyday

We want for so much more

When in reality

We’re looking for the next score

Looking for the easy answers

When we need to find our hearts

There’s never easy answers

We all need brand new starts

Imagine

Retreat from Reality

Why stay here with the pain

I can have anything I envision

My stage is set

It should be perfect

But even in my fantasies

I’m not in charge

I’m not the best

Or the brightest

Or the prettiest

I can’t have what I want

Even in my wildest dreams

A glimpse of paradise

Is too much to imagine
