Through the darkest journeys
Do we learn our fate
Because we really live
In our lonesome state
...

Oblivious to your insignificance,
You strut along
Alone on the streets
In a city so full, but bleak
...

'Man, I think I'm in love with her',
Said the over-thinker
The steadiness in his voice
Says he's really serious
...

She was a girl of seventeen
Tired of being seen
As someone that she wasn't

On a ledge she sits unspoken
...

What you really mean
As i think about my dreams
That you invade
And serenade
...

Passionately waiting a new beginning
Because what i have is lifeless
So im looking for a silver lining
One that will turn gold
...

That make us weak
We all have insecurities
But we talk loud so know one sees

They keep us from perfection
...

I found inspiration
As i sat still
On a railing
In the dark
...

We do not sleep
Because we are deprived
Of our dreams

Not so simply do we strive
...

We keep striving
Until the day
We start unwinding
Until the day
...

Welcome to this place called Orleans
Way worse than she seems
The product of my reality
Where you're never new in business
...

Braking glass and violent screams keep us awake
We think there is another way of life
Something easier to take
Because this can't be hell
...

You might as well hide
Cause you can't run forever
Flex while she binds you,
But her ties you can't sever
...

I stand tonight, alone,
And I look up at the same sky
As the one you see in the city.
Well, yours may have a few more clouds
...

Swaying- ever so slightly-
Since the water's so calm
The wind went to rest
With the others til dawn
...

Taken hostage by your own sorrow
You bleed beer with a tint of red
Because the rest has gone to your eyes
As you're laying in bed
...

This happiness seems infinite
Thus this universe unfit
To predict how far it will impact
In fact, I await, mid-flight,
...

He searches through his closet
At the break of dawn
To figure out his wardrobe
As he stretches out a yawn
...
