r.e.a.l. – six strings and a dream

shot in the dark

what’s it take to believe in what we can achieve? i never know what this day may have in store for me. is this plane getting off the ground or am i set up to be let down? i can’t control what you think just what’s inside of me. falling away from past clichés. don’t cast me in a group, i’m what i wanna be. it’s a shot in the dark your chance is slim you see. you can’t waste your future on six strings and a dream. wake up in the morning, what lies ahead for me? how long will i sit and wait for it to come to me? i know i have a dream but will it ever be…will it ever be?

threefold

when i’m dead and gone and you’re still here, i’ll have more life than you cause my face won’t show the pain that you tried to dish out long ago. have you ever had someone or something that you loved? i don’t know how you can grow out of the skin you’re in. well i know that time brings you down, down to the ground where you need some help, but you don’t know how to ask for it. time goes by and still you wonder why i never really cared. so say goodbye, i hope that i never see you again.

freshman year

the alarm clock rings, she’s out of bed getting ready for her first day. Nervously, she makes her way peering through the unfamiliar. watch out girl, here he comes, he played all your friends. And i know you, you don’t need him. just get yourself away now. i thought i’d tell you that he wouldn’t be true, he won’t be waiting there for you i thought i’d tell you that he wouldn’t be true, you won’t be in his arms again. he’ll build you up then break you down. never know what he’s gonna do next. and i know you, you don’t need him. just get yourself away now.

think of you

fight true feelings back, you give advice when i didn’t ask. i know it isn’t right but i’ll listen, to the thoughts that break, the thoughts that shake, my once strong mind is cracking at the bend it’s cracking here we go again. unsafe waters, it’s what i’m floating in, should i sink or should i swim? you’ve broken my confidence in you, i said stop but you threw my life into a hole that you thought you had to dig and now i’m finding out that you’re about conforming to the likes of those who don’t even know your inner self because you’re scared of what they’ll really think of you. let true feelings out, i’m glad you’re not around. you fill up space with fake and taunting virtues. fuck your stage plays, your make believe ways, my life is always better off without you better off not seeing you again. it’s all a waste of my time on you.
