...Yet So Far

Why do people try to steal the moment When my perception is what really matters I can't think for myself Somebody must do it for me I can't get into that reality Stress I feel on me everyday Can't relax can't control my anxiety It's hard to face the truth I'm afraid of my inner self Can't be who I really am

Searching for the one, the one who is to come Will it ever happen for me? Waiting is like staring into the deceitful winter sun The endless lonely journey that clings to a merciless hope I believe the moment will come I have to believe it will happen I believe the moment will come Will there ever be a point that I will just give up? Am I to walk the beaten path without questioning my fate? If I ever get there I may not even know it A myriad of thoughts, a plethora of forgotten dreams ...The never ending search for truth ...A nameless face in a sea of unsurmounting falsities I must trudge the weathered path

Why does no one question The aspects of our reality Yet place such a heavy value On knowledge they do not have Tear down the facade of infallibility Sentient, indeed, but imperfect man Can only create imperfect works Thus even a book can be wrong I have little faith in the religion of man Repetition and rote, does not salvation create Bright and clear I must open my mind To unlock the manacles of tradition Why do they fall into roles Society insists they must enact from birth Deviation is termed as abnormal By those who are afraid to live I have little faith in the ways of man As faulty creatures we are at best What is the difference between them and me? My views and dreams, at least I can feel

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Like a circle, the morning sun begins and ends From the sight of it, I hold back always waiting Every aspect, every possible point of view you can fathom My unavoidable destiny The human idiosyncrasy It is exigent that I must deviate From this fear of unimaginable pain At the crossroads I seem to take wrong turns Perfect hindsight reveals the true route If I can learn from the past, can I become The individual I aspire to be? Like a circle, the morning sun begins and ends From the sight of it, I hold back always waiting I can continue to put off life, but how long will It wait for me?

Something pure If left undisturbed But is it made of stone or sand? Can it last forever? If it falls away Will I even understand Things are said To open the cracks And begin the decay Misunderstandings shatter It to dust, gone, fallen away It's hard to see eye to eye When paths never cross There's nothing left to rebuild This love forever lost

Have you ever felt alone in a crowd? Voices all around but you didn't hear a sound Sometimes I get lost in my mind My thoughts are my only friends This world filled with loveless souls All emotions are only pretend Two-faces are all I see Is there any other way?? Is it me against the world? I wonder what it's like To feel truly fulfilled I wonder what it's like To feel you're needed I cry out all my pain But my echo just laughs at me I'm the outcast The lone fool I can't laugh because the joke is on me But I pray better days will come When I can truly connect with someone And break this deadened shell For now I hope and wait for that day People tell me Always smile Ignore what you feel inside Deception Their way of life But I cannot lie to myself I know this won't be forever Real love I know you're out there So please remember me I'll be here waiting for you

Move on as if something keeps pulling me forward I don't want to go too far for fear of not wanting to return One eye looking forward, the other looking back I wander from the external world An impressionable soul in an inherent spectacle A minuscule player in a monstrous entity I stare at the palatial displays Yearning to be a part of it If I could fly, I would fly the infinite heavens If I could paint, I would paint the endless skies I take the natural steps to my destiny The strive for immortality is awakened by thoughts of reality For what seems like days, turns out to be only minutes The pleasure of the soul is only an arm's length away

Turning my back to the breeze I lift my feet off the ground and I soar With no apparent reason I am looking for direction For something real In the distance on the horizon I see the cloud it draws near And all at once I'm surrounded By the fear of what can never be Why am I made to suffer In the darkness I search for you Groping through an eternal mist In the daylight I have no self-control Over wanderings in my head I found the room You're crying In the darkness we found a new Place with fear put aside In the daylight I remember Things I could not see at night
