HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT

JUST THINK

ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT, WHAT COULD BE

ALL BEFORE YOU BLINK...

THE TIME IT FLIES

WAITS FOR NO ONE, HEARD MY CRIES

AS SHE CRIES, "CATCH UP WITH ME, I WONT WAIT LONG!"

SHE DIDN'T LIE, INFACT SHE MADE ME STRONG

WHEN THEY SAID ITS SO SHORT

SOON  IT WILL BE GONE

DIDNT BELIEVE BEFORE BUT I STILL HELD ON AND

I KNEW...I KNEW GOOD AND WELL

BETTER

IF I HADNT HAVE WASTED HER WHERE WOULD I BE

STILL SO YOUNG WITH SO MUCH TO SAY AND EVEN MORE TO SEE

WE SIT, WE RUSH, WE WAIT...IN A HURRY

THINGS I REGRET, I WISH I WOULD'VE SAID

AT TIMES I REMEMBER WHEN...

I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING GREATER

OR NOW HOW IM STUCK BETWEEN TWO DREAMS

BOTH WHICH I WANT TO SEE

AND STILL, IT SEEMS IM SEARCHING

RELENTLESSLY

GOOD ITS CRAZY, WILD, HOW GOOD LIFE BECOMES IF YOU LET IT

IVE SEEN BOTH SIDES, IVE SEEN ME

SEEN THE DARK  BE...

BE SO BLACK YOU MIGHT AS WELL SAY LET IT REST AND JUST BE

LIKE WHAT DO I DO AND WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH ME

BE, OVER POWERING WITH AN UNBAREABLE RESPONSIBLITY

IN WAYS YOU KNOW YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE

INSANE TO STILL BE

BE EVIL, BE CONTROLLING

BE PSYCHOTIC AND BOLDY BE

BE THAT SPECK I ALMOST DIDNT SEE BE

THAT I BARELY KNEW I WAS ALIVE AND NOW

I BE FREE AND FAR FROM TYPICAL REALITY

THAT LIGHT, THAT SAVING HAND LEAD ME

TO BE

GREATER THAN AN IMAGINARY FANTASY

BETTER THAN THE MEDICORE NORMALTIES

MORE THAN FORVER GOING AND NOT EVEN CLOSE TO

COMPLETE

I BE WELL..

WELL OFF SOMEWHERE, GOING SOMEWHERE TO SEE

A NEVER ENDING JOURNEY

I WOULD HAVE NOTHING LESS THAN WHAT YOU SEE ME BE, CAUSE

I KNEW...I KNEW GOOD AND WELL

BETTER

YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT YOUR FUTURE HOLDS

JUST WANNA PEEK IN A HOLE...

JUST A LITTLE GLANCE, MAYBE SEE IF

YOUR LIFE IS WHOLE

YOU EVER NOTICED HOW PEOPLE GET OLD

HOW ONE DAY THOSE BEFORE US WILL BE GONE

THIS ONE'S NOT TO BE DEEP OR HAVE YOUR MIND BLOWN

I JUST...I WAS THINKING

WHAT WILL WE HAVE LEFT, WHAT WILL WE HAVE SHOWN

ONE DAY WHAT WAS WILL BE NO MORE

AND IT WILL BE LEFT UP TO US TO STAND AND

CARRY ON

NO MATTER HOW THEY PORTRAY US AS A STATISTICAL FAILURE

TAKE AND DESTROY WINGS BEFORE WE FLY

DRAG US DOWN BEFORE WE REACH OUR HIGH

I KNEW...I KNEW GOOD AND WELL

BETTER

NOW HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT

JUST THINK

ABOUT WHATS NEXT, WHAT COULD BE

ALL BEFORE YOU BLINK...
