I will never be perfect, I will always have flaws
It doesn’t matter the reason, it doesn’t matter the cause
It’s just a matter of law that we all have our faults
We just need to improve through the lessons we’re taught
But I can get so distraught because I want some improvement
It might sound a bit crazy, it may sound a bit stupid
This need to be better for the sake of what’s precious
She knows what I’m saying, she knows whats my message
Cause I hold on to lessons and the pain that I went through
This point wasn’t easy, it was so hard to get to
And while complacency gets you some time for relaxing
It can also be painful and so god damn detracting
As the whole world is passing and leaving you stranded
I went through the trials so I just understand it
She deserves better, she deserves all my passion
So I won’t just sit back, but instead I’ll take action
I’ll be by her side, no matter what happens
I will give her a boost when she’s losing some traction
I will never be passive if it’s not what she needs
I will do it for her sake, not “a thank you” or “please”
Cause the man that you see will never be perfect
But I’ll strive to be better, for her sake, it’s worth it
When change has this purpose, it will always be right
One more lesson I carry as I sit here tonight

If I could clear out the knowledge and rest in the ignorance
The bliss of not knowing, the joy of the innocence
For just a few minutes this burden diminishes
Maybe then I could sit down and finally finish this
And get out the visions which reign over moments
With a poison that’s spiteful and ever so potent
When I sit down and focus on things that don’t matter
And shatter the present with thoughts that won’t stammer
They’re fluent and perfect and so fucking descriptive
I attempt to be strong and just be so dismissive
But these never listen, they stand their position
And weigh on a mind that just screams for division
And I want an escape and a clean separation
Hell, saw it all of if it means preservation
This sea’s elevation, a flood of emotion
Leaves me looking around for the valve I should open
To drain it all out and to purge it forever
To cut it all off and leave it perfectly severed
To leave it behind and resume this contentment
And ignore long ago and let go of resentment
Cause I want to vent this, I want to forget this
I only want now, the here and this sentence
I want to take lessons and forget all the facts
And I want to know that we will never go back
And that we’ll stay on these tracks, so happy together
The people we were simply lost in the never
As in never again, no more darkness and pain
Just a guy and his girl, a clear sky with no rain

Notes: It’s about knowing the past, the times before the happiness, and wishing you could forget all of it and not know the facts.

I’m so sick of the shit that’s played on the radio
Am I supposed to love it? I really fucking hate it, though
The way they go and take a flow and beat it to submission
Is a smack in the face of the paint that’s my nutrition
There’s no haze inside my vision, I know I’m at the bottom
But even from my place, I look up and see a problem
Will nobody come to solve it out of fear for being looked at
Is there anybody brave enough to go and take the book back
A text book road to riches that needs it’s pages torn out
Because the path is common and the pavement is all worn out
When did riches take the scorn out and fame replace the passion?
When did rhymes become a scheme and a carnival attraction?
When did it stop to matter if there’s essence in your wording?
Why do some of these abusers feel they’re always so deserving?
It’s enough to drive me crazy, it’s so god damn unnerving
And it’s even worse to think that it’s never called concerning
Cause if you go about discerning that one rhyme from another
A third will sound the same cause they’re painted the same color
And those of us that suffer are the one’s who love it deeply
The people who obsess about it and love it so completely
Fuck tying this up neatly with a happy beat and rhythm
Don’t ever dance to this but question what is given
Stop taking what I love and conforming it for money
Cause those of us that care only find you sad and funny

I see the path of destruction right there before me
The cobblestoned road that once before tore me
The way it implores me can be so convincing
When nothing is right and my everything’s missing
When I’m shaking and twitching and hurting and crying
The presence of shadows can be so underlying
When this soul’s pulse is dying, it’s easily beaten
Just giving up hope with no need for a reason
I’ll just scream to release it, I’ll fade out to quiet
This emptiness eats me. I’m too weak to fight it
I’m too weak to hide it. My eyes turn to lifeless
There’s one thing I need, the one thing to right this
I need her to be here, I need her here with me
I want her to smile and I’d ask her to kiss me
I’d beg her to lift me and tell me it’s better
And tell me today that we’re back here together
And I’d hold her forever just the way that I promised
My heart’s full of love that’s impatient, yet honest
I’d sing her a sonnet though I’d miss every note
I wouldn’t care, I’d just sing of this hope
And I’d sing what I know, how I love her completely
I’d sing it off key, but I’d sing it so sweetly
I’d give it my all, I would give it my best
I just want her here with me, her head on my chest
