Inches from Darkness

Take me my one and only
If it only could be
What's in my mind this time
If you knew how,
How much I cared for you
It would only scare you
So for now I'll stay right where I am
Talk, Talk about it now
Unlock this vault somehow
I would love to help you up
(But) that's a little tough when I'm already down
This time let's avoid the heartbreak that comes with love
It only takes one stupid choice to burn this bridge I'm unworthy of
Pour our hearts out,
What about this great thing we already got?
Fortunately for you I'm saying this now before,
Before it's too late
Depend on your riches,
You're only inches from the darkness you brew.
You don't know me.
Don't say you're sorry,
Both light and dark you can't be,
But yes, of course, 'it's not your fault'
'You were only raised this way'
If that's the game we're gonna play,
Looks like it's my turn to move.
Talk, Talk about it now
Unlock this vault somehow
I would love to help you up
(But) that's a little tough when I'm already down
This time let's avoid the heartbreak that comes with love
It only takes one stupid choice to burn this bridge I'm unworthy of
Pour our hearts out,
What about this great thing we already got?
Fortunately for you I'm saying this now before,
Before it's too late
Twenty years of my life
I won't get back from my jaded past.
You should know who I am,
Give me your story,
And I will give you mine.
Fortune sounds so worthless,
Why do you want such an excess?
Stabbing stone inside,
Fighting every lie,
I will tell you a truth:
If you've fallen in love then pick yourself up.
This time let's avoid the heartbreak that comes with love
It only takes one stupid choice to burn this bridge I'm unworthy of
Pour our hearts out,
What about this great thing we already got?

Two Years

Well if I had it my way,
It would not of fallen apart,
But pieces exist.
Now we're here,
Just another day,
Several years and miles from the whole start.
Don't show me your wrist.
I saw you in the hallway.
Said you'd call,
But I haven't got one yet.
It's been two years.
The pain you've inflicted
When you are so gifted
It's a shame to watch it waste away,
Shame to see your disarray.
Sitting on the concrete,
Think you're discrete but I know you better.
Remember as long as I'm here,
I will be here.
So happens we get scared of what we don't know while we grow.
Doesn't mean we throw away what we got.
I can't promise that it all will be okay because it may not,
But if you shut me out don't leave me like this.
You're so high that you seem low.
Wasn't gonna say it but you reap what you sow.
No one's given you the blame.
'Circumstances outweighed your chances'
Keep tellin' yourself what gets the fault.
Still you didn't call.
Sip your wine at the same time,
Glaring at your broken TV,
You just want to be free
The pain you've inflicted
When you are so gifted
It's a shame to watch it waste away,
Shame to see your disarray.
Sitting on the concrete,
Think you're discrete but I know you better.
Remember as long as I'm here,
I will be here.
So happens we get scared of what we don't know while we grow.
Doesn't mean we throw away what we got.
I can't promise that it all will be okay because it may not,
But if you shut me out don't leave me like this.

Embers
05:25

I breathe the same air you breathe,
So why does it not seem like we're the same beneath?
Are you lying through your teeth?
Chances are I'm not who you think I am.
I'd rather fuel a flame than let it die in the cold,
But only with time do embers grow.
I'd ask you why.
Guess I'm too scared.
Well last time I tried,
It didn't go so hot,
Gave you a second thought,
And it blew up in my face.
Steady pace this time just in case.
I see your face around.
I want to know who you are.
My feet are on the ground,
But this world seems so bizarre.
I glance at you,
You glace right back,
Was that a mistake?
I don't double-take a lot.
We're two embers in a fire,
There to burn some stuff up.
Or will we now aspire
To light the universe of
Purpose for what is truth?
I have faith in me and you.
Reacting by fear,
You've made it to the premiere
Of letting others think for yourself.
Which I'm as guilty of all of the above,
But shutting yourself out really made it harder.
I truly miss your talk.
Threw my mind and you threw a block.
I'm sure we'll do fine on our own.
I'd ask you why.
Guess I'm too scared.
Well last time I tried,
It didn't go so hot,

And it blew up in my face.

I have faith in me and you.
Don't let the others claim what you're worth.
You cannot change what you're already done.
But you do have a choice for what to do now.
I'll be there along the way to help you out.
I won't lie it'll be hard.
Nothing good comes easily,
But only with time do embers grow.
Oooooh Oooooh
Oooooh Oooooh
Oooooh Oooooh
Ooooooooooooh
I'd ask you why.
Guess I'm too scared.

Torches

They say wealth come from gold.
Then what comes from the soul?
We think we're different with our nice cars and houses.
And define ourselves in numbers of spouses.
If you're feeling trapped,
Into your brain I have tapped.
Join with me in this raising of chorus.
Strength in numbers,
We can break down this fortress.
Now's the time to begin to get ready.
Suit up my brothers and sisters.
They don't know what's comin' for them.
Grab your torches that burn,
That burn with white light.
We've already gone this far.
There's so much still to do.
Had our feet stuck in tar.
Already lost so there's nothing to lose.
Pray for us now before we go,
Into battle of worlds unknown.
I see you're scared just as I am,
And it's fear that will get us through.
Battles won with swords and guns,
Yet we need to be the ones
Who could win every fight without even fighting.
Take the profession of history rewriting.
We can light the world
By seeking what we have furled
In every one of you is a strong heart,
And I believe that we can play the part.
Now's the time to begin to get ready.
Suit up my brothers and sisters.
They don't know what's comin' for them.
Grab your torches that burn,
That burn with white light.
We've already gone this far.
There's so much still to do.
Had our feet stuck in tar.
Already lost so there's nothing to lose.
Pray for us now before we go,
Into battle of worlds unknown.
I see you're scared just as I am,
And it's fear that will get us through.
Now's the time to begin to get ready.
Suit up my brothers and sisters.
They don't know what's comin' for them.
Grab your torches that burn,

We've already gone this far.
There's so much still to do.
Had our feet stuck in tar.
Already lost so there's nothing to lose.
Pray for us now before we go,
Into battle of worlds unknown.
I see you're scared just as I am,
And it's fear that will get us through.

My mistakes have brought me here
To this maze of guilt and shame
I’m turning in circles to find a way out
And I’m the only one to blame
I’m looking for a sign of our home
For the place that we once stayed
But for now we’re left in a dark vast land
Where all our thoughts have strayed
You were let down again girl
Your hands in the dirt
I wasn’t here to help you
I just let you get hurt
It hurt’s to see you
To see what I’ve done
Could I please just make things better
Or has the better already begun?
Verse 2
I’ve got to find a way
To figure out you and me
What is this place we’re in
Is it where we should be?
I’m looking for a sign of our home
For the place that we once stayed
But for now we’re left in a dark vast land
Where all our thoughts have strayed
You were let down again girl
Your hands in the dirt
I wasn’t here to help you
I just let you get hurt
It hurt’s to see you
To see what I’ve done
Could I please just make things better
Or has the better already begun?
Can we break this down?
Could we dig through this stone?
I just want you in this town
Girl, I don’t want you alone.
You were let down again girl
Your hands in the dirt
I wasn’t here to help you
I just let you get hurt
It hurt’s to see you
To see what I’ve done
Could I please just make things better
Or has the better already begun?
