From the outside looking in
I see through your skin stretched so thin
The wrinkles in your lifeless eye’s
Are so oddly similar to mine
And they’ve become so familiar with time
Searching through the heavens sky’s
Just in the hope of seeing a glint
Of fire, but there’s not even a hint
You’re tired, but still feel inspired
Aspire to get back up when you take that hit
Of mire, yelling out I can’t do this
Liar, that’s so far from the truth
You were there when all hell broke loose
You were their fighting the dragons
The last one standing demandin a fraction
Of action, till you had to face your phantoms
, perhaps then you lost all will
But then you wouldn’t be out here still
Standing gazing, waiting, pacing
Chasing after that long lost feeling for amazing
Fading, like a shooting star
If only they knew that you’ve come so far
If only they knew that you’d seen the light
After all these years blinded in the night


Blinded without site like no need for glasses
Fire and ashes for all of the actions
Askin for directions but still never took heed
Clinged with the need to intercede
But then you were freed, released from sightlessness
You were flightless till you were released from your high nest
This is your choice now
Go and find your own voice now
Don’t act coy to annoy with this noise now
Check your poise now, they come to assault
You halt by default and nock them to their asphalt
Hard to take the blame for others when it’s their fault
Hard to take the flavor of a neighbor when it’s all salt
And back up a brother when he’s all talk
Walk the walk, no need to catch a taxi
Actually find some meaning in this taxing
Life we’re livin, life we’re givin
Life were expected to be rejected yet find thrill in
Happiness is the light we saw in childhood
Believing with a faith as only a child could

We will illuminate the night
If you come away with me tonight

Can you see past the perfect brokenness?
The strait crack that left us in hopelessness
tears that fall down your cheek when you weep
Strikes a chord deep that rises to a fleet
Of ships of the navy, of the army
Hardly ready to announce defeat
I see the ripples as they sink,
On the brink of a leak but we don’t drink
And we don’t think, not even a pause
What if we were seen by God as a lost cause
Instead we see God as a lost cause
Narrow minded broad flawed in our façade
Even from my view the stars are just dots
What am I then if they’re molten planets of rock
Just dust blown across an irrelevant space
But blessed to see the Lord of all creations face
