Fallen Family Tree

A line's been drawn, a forced compliance
And deviance reads as defiance
I'll seek to find some common ground
Just simple truths, yet heartfelt and profound
What can we expect to be?
Through the lens of only what has been
Fallen family tree
I'll help you see the me I want to be, then be the me that I see
They're not listening
Closed their minds, just pre-determining
What will it it take for me
To make them see the me I see?
If love is lost when love starts ailing
That leaves no room for anything but failing
Communicate, break down these walls
Open your hearts and lift me when I fall
What can we expect to be?
Through the lens of only what has been
Fallen family tree
I'll help you see the me I want to be, then be the me that I see
They're not listening
Closed their minds, just pre-determining
What will it it take for me
To make them see the me I see?
I like this song
Cuz it's the kind of song that I like
And it can heal these wounds
I must believe, and so I write
What can we expect to be?
Through the lens of only what has been
I don't wanna leave
I'll help you see the me I see
You're not listening
Closed your minds, just pre-determining
What will it it take for me
To make you see the me I want to be might be the me you want to see, and not a fallen family tree?

Rearrange It

You chose your path, you are so blind
No lesson learned, you're left behind
Your mindset put you on a shelf
Blaming everybody but yourself
It’s time to listen to that inner voice
And don’t make out you haven’t got a choice
Falling back on habits old
In this game your cards will fold
When you're backed against a wall
Will you rise or will you fall?
It’s time to listen to your inner voice
And don’t make out you haven’t got a choice
When your decisions take you down dark paths,
You can change it
When life’s a puzzle that you can’t work out,
Rearrange it
When you’re so close to making it work
You can taste it
When a chance to change comes along
Don't you waste it
Rearrange it. Don't you waste it.

Everything's Okay

Today
She'll watch the hours tick away
She's got a couch and some anime
Tomorrow will be a better day
I can't take your pain (away)
Can't take your pain
But I can give it a bed to lie down in
Instead of taking you away
Today
He'll brave the crowds, among the fray
He'll try to find some words to say
So no one knows his heart is racing
I can't take your pain (away)
Can't take your pain
But I can give it a bed to lie down in
Instead of taking you away
In between the small seconds
There are moments of peace
They're fleeting and elusive
Hovering just out of reach
In between the small seconds
Lies the illusion of peace
If he could just hit pause
If she could just release
Today
I can't take your pain (away)
Can't take your pain
But I can give it a bed to lie down in
Instead of taking you away
Everything's okay (Don't worry)
Everything's okay (About me)
Everything's okay

Sometimes this life is just too much for me to trust
All of the goings on and madness from the maddened throngs
Sometimes I feel as if my neck is going stiff
Holding my head up through the myriad of righteous wrongs
With every passing day we seem to waste away
A little more, a little further into the abyss
When our society is plagued with enemies
Who wait in every nook and cranny for a nemesis
Light through darkened skies
We'll find light through darkened skies
The marching in the street prevails through each defeat
A beacon reaching far beyond the hate to sate a need
So bless the pamphleteer, steeled in the face of fear
Feet planted firm, holding his ground, that which he will not cede
Sometimes this life is just too much for us to trust
All of the goings on and madness from the maddened throngs
Sometimes I feel as if our necks are going stiff
Holding our heads up through a myriad of righteous wrongs
Light through darkened skies
We'll find light through darkened skies
(Redeem) Those who have the will
(To scream) Railing against the ills
(For you) This manifesto penned
(For truth) The fight will never end
We'll find light through darkened skies
We'll find light through darkened skies
(Light) We'll still fight
(Light) We'll still fight

The Way It Is

Every day, every day we try to make it
And every day we make it, we make it the best we can
Every day, ain't no we way that we can fake it
So put away, put away the fear and draw up a plan
The way it is and the way it was.
The way it is and the way it was.
Looking back, to proceed without scars who could last?
The way it is.
Yesterday, yesterday we picked ourselves up
Yesterday we thought that we had it all sussed out
Yesterday, riding fast with no regard for future days
But now we've learned and we can figure it out!
The way it is and the way it was.
The way it is and the way it was.
Looking back, to proceed without scars who could last?
The way it is.
And I promise you
I'm gonna see this through
And I promise, too
I see the best in you
The way it is and the way it was.
The way it is and the way it was.
Looking back, to proceed without scars who could last?
The way it is today
Every day, every day we try to make it
And every day we make it, we'll make it the best we can
