And when we parted ways
I just couldn't find the words to say
Its odd how all the things you said
Keep ringing in my head
You said I should go...
Oh...
This is a fair warning...
I still have so much on my mind...
Oh...
My world is a softly muted musical
All our lives just pass us by
(lives just pass us by)
Unattended
Well, I suppose that it is something of a blessing to be living
But I don't think that pretending that you've given any thought
To individual perceptions like some personal savant
Will get you anywhere you want
And I don't mean to push the point
Or purposefully press
But the topic at hand surely needs to be addressed
Mmmmm...
Ah...
Sometimes we seem to forget the things
That brought us the bringing of wonderful feelings
But sometimes when we go back to them
We're reminded once again
We can create...
Something so wonderful
If we'd only
*ahem*
Apply our minds
And now that I've gotten back to it
Its a rushing effect
What I thought to expect:
Was I'd always be so overcome with regrets
'Cause I never finish my thoughts
And I've thought of life and what I am
Thought of what it means to be
Thought of what I have become
Thought of what I used to be
Oh!
I think of how I love to laugh
And wonder how my life will pass
I think until my head just aches
So, no longer will I wait to say
To simply say what's on my mind
Oh!
What's on my mind?

Daytime Dreamers' Medley

Daytime dreamer
Your life is such a mess
Your convoluted feelings
Aren't making any sense
Growing up is learning
Cope with all your faults
Learning to cope with all your faults
Is no fault of your own
But your whole life you've been holding back
And now that you're not used to it
You can't hold back at all
You're a firm believer
And you get what you deserve
But you can't just go through life
Based on such a simple learning curve
You say it helps define your way
Well, you could use the gain of step
I think you may have lost your sense
And got all indirect
If your whole life you just avoid mistakes
Don't you think you'd reach a point
Where you'd just mess up all the time?
When I followed through with that
You gave a brow-less smile
Did you think no one would call you out
For half-assing denial?
Act all the while
Like you really don't give a care
But please just don't complain
When all it gets you is nowhere
If your whole life you just ignore the fact
Don't you think you'd never know
Why you were always at a lack?
There's such a thing as moving on
Its not a loss to fall behind again
Its not a point of right or wrong
But there's no excuse to not try again
Do you think you've got so many problems
That you choose to wallow in your own self-pity?
Huh!
Like you've got it so bad
Like you've got it so bad
Like you've got it so bad
Like you've got it so bad

In A Roundabout Way
03:05

What comes to mind?
Experience the first time
What comes to mind?
Won't you talk about the first time?
When you walked in for the first time
To a place you didn't know
Would a long walk to nowhere
Have gotten you somewhere better to go?
Did you re-think the things?
That brought the bring?
In your brought'n together
In your way to whichever
Its the way that you got to where you are today
And when the sound
You find has been surrounding you
Hides but not founds
And rounds out the end of a time once well spent
Will you do it all again?
Go on, pretend you have friends
But you'll be finding the surroundings
Make you feel all down again
And have you noticed yet?
How it follows a trend
And in a roundabout way
It helps to make for better sense
And all I know is I could use a solid friend
To go walking right beside me
When I go nowhere again
Because sometimes no direction
Is that catch to your attention
That prevents you from preventing
Saying that which you've been thinking
In your mind
So when the time arises
Eyes are wide to what you're saying
Even if it really isn't making any sense
And what then?
It clearly evens out
And if it carries to a downfall
Its if life has spoke aloud and said:
This is what you get
So you might as well accept it

Heart beats faster
As I'm staring down the line
Breathing slower
And I'm thinking 'bout the time
When in my life
I can finally feel alive
Feel like I might
Just try to better make the time
But we are living in a world so frail
Where we'd more than often not opt for a loss
But often fail to break it even
Grasp let slip to leave an empty hand
A loss to let me know just where I stand
I'll process a reaction once I've left
Right behind the part where I reflect
I am now starting
Got an image in my head
And I was once heading
In directions left unsaid
I'll manifest
The process of a thought
Solidify
My ideas how I want
And I will take a new direction
Let it focus, focus
With a lack of all discretion
In a hope for motion!
Grasp let slip to leave an empty hand
A loss to let me know just where I stand
I'll process a reaction once I've left
Right behind the part where I reflect

Ooooo...
Ahhhhh......
Mmmmm.....
Awkward movement
Shared in unison
With no following through again
Now begins an act
A process of fact
Sent back through holes in the mind
Recalled from childhood times
What you were hoping to find
Was lost somewhere between the cracks in conversation
Too early...
Too late...
Right on time in the way of a slight improvement
What you thought you could gain
Was a peaceful refrain
Was more of the same
As what been done to you
One once close to you
Taught you through
A slight removal
Of your old youth
What you thought you could gain
Was a peaceful refrain
Was more of the same
As what been done to you
One once close to you
Taught you through
A slight removal
Of your old youth
And it twisted you
And once again...
You played your part in full
Made use of things you should have let go
A process of a lesser known fact
A lesson learned but hard-pressed for worth
A shapeless form of what you once were...

When I see the face
My heart does melt
Feeling like
I've never felt
It warms right up'n
From a rush of blood'n
Then it flushes blushing
To a face so loving
With a pump and pulling
Of a constant flowing
A showing signing
Of a better timing
A near reminding
A founded finding
A focal fraction
Of reacted actions
Based on interactions
Past and present passings
Of the bestest happenings
That we're finally having
No fear of finding
A near-reminding
Feeling fine
With the passing by
Of a time well spent
In a present tense
Of a certain type
Of lost threat
That predetermines
Your course of events
And renders a near completion

This new and kind sensation
Well, it's been starting to pull
A different direction in the here and now
Was all it could go
With manipulating currents
Flourishing
From the underside of time
Remainder to it's prime
Multiplying, intersecting lines
A process of the portions left behind
Momentary occupants jump
One plane to the next
Traveling a high-speed process
Of motion giving birth to motion

Calm yourself
I'm here now
Place yourself
Where I will face you well
You know,
You always do something
That makes me laugh and think
It's such a touching thing
That sense of comforting
And touch softly
As you pass by me
Talk kindly
As you do remind me...
Of a better time...
Calm yourself
I'm here now

Now
Continuing on
Let shift
Uplift
Into calm
Direct
Approaches
I couldn't help but notice
Your set-back approaches
And now that I know this
I'll step back
And focus once again
You'll know this new approach

Slight Return To Focus
01:30
|

|
Simple state the fact
It helps to bring you back
You'll get so near to home
You'll know not where to go
And when you find your head
Is not a mess
You'll no longer pretend
Such pretentious
Pretenses of that aforementioned fact

Defined In the Present
02:58

The start came with
A circle back around
And then the founded finding
Started full unwinding
With a simple sigh...
Those twisted thoughts
Have brought dishonest progress
Simple act of kindness
Brings a knack for violence
In the mind its hiding
Its a thought that's binded to society
(guitar solo)
Its coming back...
Retrogressed mentality
Its coming back...
Mass-divide society
The past is coming back to bite us in the ass...
And if we don't find a new solution
We will find we will be losing
All our findings
All at once
In one defining moment
A new energy that's human born
Will change the evolution course
And yes it will be fucked
|

Early morning,
Sometime later
Full-effect...
In retrospect,
I saw my life unfolding
For the first time
The very first time...
|
||||
13. |
||||
|
Well, let's go with a...
Well, here it is again
That familiar head feeling
And giving visions of a time
Warm within my mind
I've been finding all these memories
I know I have not had
Perhaps a future viewing
Of a proper follow through(ing)
A time well spent
In the present tense
A spelled out thought
Self-reference
Shift it to
Direct approach
Allowing thoughts
Expressed in full
Hesitation
Slight sensation
Sudden burst
Creative flourish
Carry on
No holding back
Make a move
To follow through
Will foresight yield a new approach?
Allowing second graces
Returning to a place
That has no shape within your mind
Time will help you find
A proper rhyming to your life
Well, here it is again
That familiar head feeling...
And gone

I had an image in my head
Couldn't find a solid shape
To represent the feeling that it gave
Was such a warm embrace
And now I seek to find a shape
A move with hope to now replace
The feeling that I lost was found
And found was sound surrounding silence
Breaking from the pattern set
With lack of all respect for form
But forming in the process
Motion forward with a new approach
A new approach
A new approach
And this one in full view for all to see
