Life, As We Know It...

Life as we know it is ever so confusing
Always making you wonder what the truth is
Leaves you wondering what you really have to be
Be complex or just stick to simplicity?
Should I be good, or is being bad okay?
Is this life really going my way?

If this is a game, am I winning or losing?
And if it's a movie, why isn't it amusing?
As I move forward, should I unlearn as I go?
Or do I need to keep whatever I'm letting go?

What will it take for me to believe in me?
And realize my true potential by seeing what I fail to see
Do I have the strength compete with life one on one?
And do I just keep walking till the day that I am gone?

Looking for that perfect song...

I guess this must be the right time to say
There's another place to which I must sail away
I know you need me to be around
But I need inner peace which is nowhere to be found

I wonder why the music faded away
And my emotions, they came out to play
I keep walking to find that perfect song
But I wonder why it's taking so damn long

Seems to me no matter what I do
The colour of emotion will always stay blue
Why can't I seem to fill that void?
Or maybe I'm just paranoid

Sorry for all the pain that I've caused
Things would've been better if only I had paused
To take a good look inside of me
and tell you that you're better off free

I'll always keep looking out for that perfect song
And the feeling of being somewhere I belong
I know it's about time that we clear the air
So finally to you I lay my soul bare

Walking down a rocky road

Walking down a rocky road,
With darkness surrounding me.
Why do I feel like a captive,
When my heart tells me that I'm free?
Enslaved by the thought,
That the road ahead might be endless.
And the visions of the crowds,
laughing at my weary face?

All that I had owned went by
like the ticking hours.
What does one do when everyone betrays you?
When you've got nothing, and no one to turn to.
You just keep on walking.
And this song you just keep on singing.

Been walking all my life
with a determination in mind.
Working hard
through the distance of time.

Used to believe in myself,
and did what seemed right.
But the lines they are so hazy now,
Can't tell the wrongs from right.

Following the truth and never
turning to temptation from others,
Never turned like the many
often losing my brothers.

As they fall for the easy wrong,
I've been sticking to my guns
And time and again,
Proving that I'm strong.
