The Shape Of Our Lives
what does it mean to be free
what am i free from
we spend our days running
from the cages in our own minds
"i feel trapped"
"i feel lost"
"i feel unfulfilled"
we shape our lives with these
we start to forget why
is it for the love and the smile?
is it for a bright future?
freedom becomes translucent
we think we can't see it
the outline touches our shoulder
we let go of our cages
realize we wouldn't be here
if we didn't choose this
With You
i choke on my thoughts
thinking of another day with you in it
i hold back my grin
just thinking of how happy i am with you around
i trip, i stumble, i goof
you smile showing me
my true self is a gift
i look at you
seeing truth in myself
respect, admiration, love
my heart feels light
life and all its burdens weigh less
yet here you are just present
just yourself, existing
what's behind those eyes
what's in your heart
i can only hope im somewhere
Simple
darkest days and brightest hours
days always pass but i always know
who's real and who's fake
who to trust when my life is at stake
triumph or fail your hand is out
with wise words that erase my doubt
remember who you are
be true to that and you'll go far
i never knew how simple it was
