Looking Skyward.
I'm staring into hands that hold the future of my dreams turned reality
Wishing more and more that I’d live up to all my responsibilities
But steadily knowing that procrastination remains to plague my actions
Never meaning to delay but it seems to be my reaction
Inside a world where I’m forced to hold so many of my thoughts repressed
And only in my dreams, are these realities not oppressed,
I wanna fly but they tell me I’ve got to learn how to walk the right way
But damn, it's so much easier living in shadows every day
They're holding me down but didn't anyone ever let them know
That they can't cage a free bird, they've got to learn how to let go
I want to be wise so why is it that I seem to do so much wrong
Mistakes are common ground, it's where I always felt that I belonged
But then there's knowledge inside my mind that I think I used to know
So, I continue trying to find out where it is that I should go
Which direction, back or forth, where is it that I will see
That feeling that I felt that moment when it was that I felt free
Truly free to fly and set my own destination course
Maybe it's time for me to face my fears, face the source
But I can't keep on living that way and I can't live that life anymore
I tried so many times and so many people just shut the door
Right in my face, trying to tell me that what I’m doing ain't right
Trying to cast me out from my shelter and into the night
But, I know that what they really want is for me to conform to
A society's rules, switch me up from the person that I always knew
But they don't know that my strength is stronger than all of their power combined
I won't just leave me for dead since I posses a greater power in my mind
Monotony may persist in all of my weaknesses contained
But I believe that I will one day overcome or go insane
And I'll be damned if I give up without a fight
I've struggled too many of my days and too many of my nights
Never knowing if it was reality waking up in cold sweats
Trying to decipher through all of the madness and stress,
But I’m still standing so I’m taking that to say I have a chance
Playing roulette with Russians, while devils try and make me dance...
