lyrics

This is an old track, written back in high school or early college. It's about being bummed out by everything you see and coming to a realization that no matter how hard people try, things don't want to be changed and I may not see things come to fruition in my lifetime so I'll have to find my own happiness.

In the space of things we find we're losing our minds
But in our point of view, reality is altered with time
I am lost in the scheme of dreams I'd like to achieve
My life has since become a letdown of what I used to believe
Though I know what is true and I know what is real
But in a sense of my existence, I'm not sure how I feel
Is it all just an emotion with no fact to the base?
Or does the blood act on it's own accord and rush to my face?

Well there's a line to be drawn and it is worn on our sleeves
From the events we iron into our memories
If we really are all that we do, I am nothing

We go around in circle and our lives do revolve
We parade around waltzing, hoping to resolve
The issues that occupy our every useless thought
And we abandon every lesson we were ever taught
The people close to us hurt but we ourselves are in pain
So who is left to let us know if we are crazy or sane?
But still this world spins and our feet stay on the ground
Unless we find an escape, our heads float up in the clouds

And we alter the beat with the tapping of our toes
And when those first chords hit, we synchronatically know
We really are all that we have and we're all that we need

We build ourselves up in hopes to tear ourselves down
And with our hearts in our fists, we drive our souls to the ground
We cement our bodies in the rubble we spent our lives tearing down
