Do I Dare
I take away silence with wallows and cries
I'm lost in all the yesterdays and all their goodbyes
left thinking of the past and the emotional ties
you say I put words in your mouth but you put the lies
but you were a facade from the start guess the you I knew had just died
and I guess I've just been floatin just along for the ride
still searching for the person in which i can confide
and if it turns out I fail at least I can say that i tried
I said, "trust me with your love and i'll swear I've never lied"
I would tell you all the truth but it seems right now my tongue is tied
..And I can hear the pollution all around me
In my mind and deep inside see
these are the things that make the pleas
these are the things that tend to flee the mind
to hinder your ability to see what you can find
the things that make you believe that you'll be left behind
and while i see where the problem is
I still blame it on this generations kids
they wont take the responsibility
it won't change with age or stability
its just a new perception
of what is true depression
is it something to get lost in
or something that someone taught them
off the top of my head I realize not much is there
I see boxes and shelves, tables, benches all bare
as i wonder through nothing I think, "do I dare"
but i guess its my mind, my ideas, only fair
I guess the moral of the story is to love the day because ever day is rare
