you expect me to cry
i've just been watching days fly by
I try to disguise every emotion inside
reading on my twitter feed, people's bitter needs always rise
never lie, never want to be that guy
every time I've ever rhymed I'm thinking of attention in the back of my mind
never mind the feelings that I felt when I awaken
I lay asleep at night and wonder if I'll ever make it
because no matter what i'm saying i feel like i'm up infront naked
been working on my patience but the virtues are always vacant
I need a vacation, and it's summer i'm unemployed
writing music and helping out two things that I enjoy
If you ever base your worth on others that give you joy
you'll find earth to be blank empty void
empty stories about a life that you could never own
surrounded by people we feel the most alone

blinded by the light praying every night
need some insight on how my sins might end right
every time I feel like I'm slipping,
you give me a hand to start gripping
we can try and solve it with iphone games and netflix
trying to get our name out, get directions
crying about how much it hurts with no medics
causing headaches, we read but don't get the message
living like we never heard any good news
crabby personality is our world view
we sit on top of our totem, potent for a pedestal
look inside and think the problems are medical
look out side and only see the hypocritical
you never notice those who do the good literal
you see the wrong overly obsessed
guilty on the inside but can't express your regret

we all think we're better than we really are
reaching for the stars, showing off our scars
pretending life isn't hard, pretending we don't struggle
pretending to look for God when life gives us trouble
pretending that happiness is all we really need
more and more obsessed with selfishness and greed
obsessed with selfish gain we don't battle the terrain
we mix our tears with the rain until the water all drains
we don't let our experiences make us any better
we whether the weather, whether or not we seek shelter
pelted with this hail, claim to be going through hell
this may be the closest to ever being in heaven to dwell
for you, if you continue to deny truth your lost identity
will be limiting eventually to the enemy for infinity
I found that with Christ I could never be alone
Through his own atonement he has given us hope
