Golden Days

Saying yes is better than saying sorry
And worse yet, the latter could leave you so far away
Are you ready for the way it was?
Can you remember that long ago?
Waking up with the sunlight
Sleeping through the sound of snow
And one day I'll see you when we're all done
Running our own marathon (The elders have begun)
I hope to God he'll find you and send you home
Is it too much to ask for? Tell me so I know
I'd like to think we all control our self reliance
But better yet, we throw all caution to the three headed lion
Time and space are meaningless
Unless this race of rats is truly as far as we should go
So are you ready for the golden days?
Do you think that you could make it last?
One false move is deadly
We're all supposed to earn the chance
We'll meet you along the road
When all of us are battered (Looking down the gun)
Storms may present themselves
But we will seek out shelter
I'd hope to see that you've had more sunny days than cold ones
But i know that you've still got that poison in your brain
A clear head is invaluable, keep focus, the lion waits in hiding
Till we get jaded, thinking this is all we know
I know I'll see this through till the rains come down to drown this place
Don't you think I'd be there to if I never got to know that grace?
(I've heard it said) I've heard it said that we can make it out alive
I hope they're right, I hope they're right
(I know I said) I know I said to you that I would make it home tonight
But I wasn't right, I wasn't right

Wading, shifting through the tidal motion
Staying the course and always pushing onward
One day when it all is crystal clear to you,
You'll know the grit was worth the effort in the sloppy acts of kindness that you would show
And I could say that I've done all that i could to keep the vessel floating, to keep it overflowing
Back when this all started, who knew the winds would wisp away and keep the sails from heading westward
And then you went ahead and set the course for the heart of an iceberg, and yet it would be you that's treading water in an endless ocean
Waves on waves on sandy beaches, swimming in the sun with no second guessing
Way back when this all started, who knew the winds of change would flow in and stop the rays from reaching dry land
13 years of bad luck, a simple fix when the burden doesn't have an option
Wind swept, carried us away
Looking back it's hard to notice why the problems kept us down and out and slipping under
I hope you find whatever it is that sets the sun on fire
My only hope is stopping the setting sun from getting tired

Last Minute Major

Wake up, and stop procrastinating
Cause dont you see that time is
Not on your side and always slowly fading
Get the fuck up, grab your passion
Cause tomorrow might not happen
I don't believe any, cant believe anything, that they say to me
Cause in my gut I know that we will carry on past the threshold of this decay.
Shut up, and listen to the echos
Why cant you hear them singing
That this life goes on, and that time is endless
So get your shit and lets go
There may not be tomorrow
When the silver chord breaks know that its not the end
Everything ends up new
And all the time you're spending was just for you
To see this through
I don't believe any, cant believe anything, that they say to me
Cause in my gut I know that we will carry on past the threshold of this decay
Wake up, and stop procrastinating
Cause don't you see that time is
Not on your side and always slowly fading
Get the fuck up, grab your passion
Cause tomorrow might not happen
When the silver chord breaks know that its not the end
Everything ends up new
And all the time you're spending was just for you
To see this through

Searching for the pathways
Neurons firing in the dark
Gremlins in the alleyways, holding back the arch
It's been so long since the sun's been displayed
Holding out for some better days
Pushing back all the draining pressure
Lets the voice of the light to enter
Our minds, so potent and so fragile
Running down these hallways just looking for an answer
Alive but hardly more than breathing
Potential lies in the art of seeing
That one day is the smallest worry
And the weeks and the months and years they keep on going
I just wanted to say
When you find the reason for being here
Things just get easier
And time will flow on in every direction
Choose the least resistant intention
When you know the purpose of this
Things can change as fast as the weather
If the dark attempts to resist,
Temptation lacks a sense of compassion
For our lives or anyone around us
Running you down always, shutting out your laughter
We've all seen complications
But there'd be no Phoenix without the ashes
Asking why every day
And lacking hope in the grand display
Yet the story goes on.
And the truth simply will not stop telling the tale.
When you find your reason for being here
Everything falls into place
And time still flows out with no exceptions
Take the path that's lit with expression

Futures Wait For No One

Return to the mainframe, spewing lines of higher purpose
When it's said this path is wrought with failure, the outcome lights the spark of identity
Wishing on the distant stars to give us all the answers
Waiting on those messages won't tell you what you need
They'll give you hints and tricks and numbers
These truths run deeper than just the surface
Molten earth creates the lowest depths we'll reach for
Burning in your stomach till you know it's only greed
Slowly you realize, we create this earth and our lives
Swallow your pride, stand and learn the lessons they're giving
Futures wait for no one, look into the past and watch the presence retrograde
And without action, dreaming will get you nowhere.
Caught up in the sky and floating to the end of all days
Hit the ground running with your sharpest tools in tow
Make the impact and leave no questions unanswered.
The cycle repeats until we know to pull ourselves through the other side
Blinded. We seek the underlying causes
But the truth is we see only what we choose
Though the overwhelming forces love to watch you lose
Vibrant. When it hits you like a brick. Was the secret there the whole time? Right there in plain sight?
So obvious, the answer. Open an eye to the world and let your words float in the mist

All of the time we are exposed
We know we're not alone
Some of the time we find the cause
To fight the under toe
Searching for the answers
We run into the darkest fucking nights
To find the cure
For who we are
And what we are is angry
And what we see is empty
We'll fight this night
And flip the lights
Why is everybody so dead inside
Cause I, I hear them lying
The truth is we do what we are
Creeping down these hallways
We laugh into the face of tradition
Lets break the ice
We shall suffice
And we can over come them
Passing through the dimensions
They think we're nice
They will unwind
Searching for the answers
We run into the darkest fucking nights
To find the cure
For who we are
And what we are is angry
And what we see is empty
We'll fight this night
And flip the lights
Why is everybody so dead inside
Cause I, I hear them lying
The truth is we do what we are
I, I'll leave the light on for you this time
Cause I, I see you trying
The best gift is the sacrifice
