lyrics

I've been trying to put these colors together that form the life that I can't leave. Will I be judged for all my strikeouts or will my intentions show the better half of me? Well, I'm not praying to your god. And I'm not asking for your ground to walk upon. I'm not out waging war. I'm just fighting, I'm just fighting for my own selfish cause.

I can't help but hope of one day leaving cause I believe there's still some worth to my dreams. You tell me, "You've got to live for the moment." But what if all of mine just seem to slip right by me? So I just keep holding on to the thought of the best is yet to come. Like the girl who's photos show love in every moment she wishes she was a part of.

The monotony of every day has got me wound up like a tightrope. I'm like a clock always asking time to stay, arms always reaching out for more. I heard that words don't matter much these days, people talk of things that they don't know. All I want is for someone to say, "You're really not alone."
