My Reflections

We’ve been walking through water
Holding our breath as long as we can
Just to get from my side to yours
Once again
Why can’t you just see me, for who I am
I’m not perfect, but I’m doing the best I can
Everyone, everyone
Break loose
We're looking forward while pushing back on the past
If I knew the future I would say this would last
Why can’t you just see me for who I am
I’m not perfect but I’m doing the best I can
Doing the best I can
When you look into the mirror, what will you see?
Some sort of saviour or a fucking fiend
This is my reflection

An End In Himself

This is nothing short of impossible
Short of impossible
I won’t point my life in the wrong direction,
Every choice you make it shapes your fate, shapes your fate
Always choosing who you want to be,
I want to be the person to say
There’s nothing different but there’s nothing the same
I will not be an end in myself no not today
It doesn’t matter what you think it’s what you do
It’s what you do
Don’t let everything get to you
Just live your life the way you do
I won’t be an end in myself
Don’t let everything get to you
Just live your life the way you do
It doesn’t matter what you think it’s what you do
It’s what you do
I don’t care what you believe in,
Just believe in it.

Inevitable

I’ve been standing here in the same place, same stance day after day
I’ve been waiting for change, and I know this doesn’t come easily
And I know it doesn’t come easily
Open up your ears and hear that I’m willing to change
That I’m willing to break everything
Just let me speak
I’ve got something to say
Break away from everything
I’ll walk away from everything
I”ll leave my heart on the line
In the end I’ll be left to fight with what’s left inside
This path only goes in one direction
This path is inevitable
Everyone has something to overcome
It’s not who you are underneath
Its what you do that defines you
I’m fighting an uphill battle
To be a better person inside

Side By Side

We are so much more than that
Fill my shoes with cement and hold me down
But you will never ever make me drown
We must become the change we all want to see
We must stand together, like family
We always fight for brothers
Never go under
I am one of few that you will never double cross
For silence is the only thing that chases broken jaws
You can spread your words and state your hate you wont break me down
You can grab our head and push under water, I wont drown
I’ve been put down weakest of people,
And I’ve been picked back up by the strongest of friends.
We stand side by side

Glass Bones

You’re tomorrow's next yesterday
Forgotten and rotting away
You’re tomorrow's next yesterday
Forgotten and rotting away
It's only moments before your bones collapse
Under the pressure your bones break like glass
Every person that walks away
Will be drawn back and pulled into this maze
You’ll be, drawn back, and pulled, into this maze
I have no ground to stand on
Everything falls away from underneath me
Everything falls away
I’ve lived my life laying down
Never hearing a sound
I’ve been scared to go live my life
But not now, its my time
Don’t hold me back
You won’t hold me back
It's only moments before your bones collapse
Under pressure your bones break like glass
Push through it all
Fight till the end
Breaking the walls
That hold me in

Identities

Get your head up, get your face out of the ground
Get your head up, before you drown
Bring on the waves, and salt my eyes
Listen closely to their cries
You’re a fake, a fraud, a liar
Where is your real identity
Let me escape, let me walk away
With the slightest bit of integrity
Integrity
We're just trying to keep our heads level with our heart
We know it's just a matter of time before we're back to the start
This is my Identity
This is who we have become; I know it doesn’t matter to some.
We’ve come so far and pushed through the hate, we're here right now, it’s our time, our fate
This is my Identity
This is my Identity
Who I am today is my identity
My friends are my family, they give me reason to keep standing up
