Lights... Camera...
i worked for so long
dreaming this day would come
it's all I've thought of
since i learned to play
i wondered if i could play on stage
what if that was me
even once
i was starstruck
a dreamer
showing off everything i learned
i was something
i was gifted
i dreamt more
first band, my dream failed
after, i played with my heart
my dreams stomped out
i wasnt enough and it hurt
i couldn't accept it
so i played until i was found
the day came
my heart throbbing with anxiety
can i do it?
lights
I am doing it
Possibilities
stare into the void without a filter
what if that irrational thought was reality
what is that which limits you
fear
rejection
inadequacy
this isn't about you
its about the mark you make
you're so quick to "what if?" the bad
you limit the possibilities of your life
if you died in this exact moment
the only thing this room will see is a body
they don't know your name
until they see an id
they don't know who you are
until the obvious people speak
have no haste?
just get out there
tonight if we die
they will know our names
Battles
what's in the minds of the apathetic?
is their heart not in what they're doing?
what does their heart scream for?
rejecting, shoving, and isolating
how do you know where you fit?
nobody does but they search
this long battle for community
Answer
i wish i could make you smile
it seems days go by
endlessly in torment
i look to you and i don't know
how can i help
there has to be a way
i give you things you think you need
i comfort and listen
days go by with my support
to no avail
you need what you're not getting
only you can answer
