This or Nothing

This is a letter to my friends,
Forever wishing all the best.
How far we’ve come, now and back then,
I’m drawing blanks for what comes next.
The cold it keeps me awake,
It never gives, it takes away.
What’s done is done, no time to waste,
Moving on, I won’t lose this race.
Voices in my dreams,
Calling out to me.
It doesn’t last forever,
It’s now or never,
It’s this or nothing.
Here’s to the brave and the weak
As they climb through their uncertainties.
Here’s to the weird ones like me
As we fight for what we believe.
This is the chapter of my life
With all the pain inside,
Despite it all I know I’ll be alright.
This is the story of my youth
And all I’ve had to lose,
But new beginnings are about to bloom.
This is the journey I will face
And the hope that I’ll embrace.
Love never ends.
This is the promise I will keep
And the passion that I’ll breathe.
Love never ends.
Oh long ago, I lost my way, I lost my faith.
But all that changed when I heard your song.
Since then it hasn’t been the same.
I mean that in the best possible way.

In Shadows

In a time of darkness, a ray of light may shine.
But it’s all too often that we’ll turn a blind eye.
Yet it’s not forgotten ‘cause we just might hear the chimes.
Though it all feels wrong if we give up and give into the lies.
You know those times when a cold chill crawls down your spine,
I sense your nerves aren’t afraid yet they’re not exactly sublime.
No I’m not an angel nor a ghost hidden from sight,
But I’m just your shadow, stuck to you and forever by your side.
I want to mend your broken porcelain heart and mind,
I want to steal your anger and let it die as we leave it all behind.
I want to break your everything that makes you ill.
I want to soothe your lonely soul that beckons still.
I want to breathe your sunshine, your starry nights and skies.
I want to be your hope, your sword, your shield, your light.

Flood out the gates
Bleed through lines
Release the brakes
Turn back the time
I know it’s wrong of me to make choices with my eyes
Can’t help that all I see is distortion in my life.
Crossing the road ahead, ignoring left and right.
Even if I’m left for dead, I’ve got no regrets inside.
Rush out the gates
Read through the lines
Increase the stakes
Taking back what’s mine
I’m sorry, forgive me, not trying to blame.
Just trying to, prove to you, we’re not the same.
You think you’ve had enough,
Just ‘cause it seems you’re stuck,
It’s a shame you don’t have the guts.
This is why I won’t give up,
Not doing this just outta love,
Seeing through to the end's in my blood.

Live It Loud

Awake in my bed, my brain’s all but dead.
The night pays no heed to my unrest.
I stare at the ceiling, feeling lost,
I wonder what’s real and what’s not.
Sometimes I feel I’m not always there,
It’s like I’m stuck in repair.
And when the walls speak and I’m caught in between,
I can switch off everything but me.
I don’t know why I can’t sleep,
Or why I can’t seem to breathe,
But it’s time to shake the boundaries.
‘Cause if this world’s not for me,
Or if I’m tearing at the seams,
At least I have my beliefs.
So crank up this sound, and live it loud.
I don’t care for reasons, just shout it out.
I stand by my choices, it’s not like it’s poison.
I don’t mind to listen, just cut the noise.
I know it’s hard to sleep and breathe,
With all this pent up energy,
But it’s not enough to break me.
‘Cause when I push out all my doubts,
And bury my pride into the ground,
I have the strength to live it loud.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhh
Woah, woah, woah, woahhh
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nahhh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhh
