I'LL NEVER KNOW
I was thinking about the choices that I've made
And I don't know if anything wouldn't have ended up just the same
Defiance, exhaustion sets in
Defiant, I've been all along
Running circles, a path that leads nowhere
I am broken yet I move forward
I wish I had the courage to create
What was?
What is?
What will be?
I guess that I'll never know
Why do I try?
I shot my shot
I guess I failed
They're stuck to their screens
Please don't cause a scene
'Cause you're just stuck with their stares
Everything you ever wanted swiped from the palm of your hand

FRAGILE & FRAIL
Crawling, I'm crawling
Climbing, I'm climbing
Shedding, I'm shedding
This past that's behind me
Silence the inner critic
A voice so fragile & frail
I just don't wanna believe it
I just don't wanna know
Cut backs & put downs
with nothing left to show
Lets put the violence behind us
I lost control until I fell back in line
It looks worse than it is
I promise I'm fine
I hate to spoil the ending but none of us
are gonna make it out alive
I just don't wanna believe it
I just don't wanna know
Cut backs & put downs
The troubled tyrant takes the throne

ALWAYS REACHING
Lifeless behind these eyes
Near sighted all the same
It's nothing without action
a spark to fan the flame
The courageous among the cowards
It's always the meek that get devoured
I'm always reaching for more
'Cause there's more to me behind these eyes
A never ending need to settle a score
There's more to me behind these eyes
It's always darkest before the dawn
A coward's contraction is always the same
Who am I without apology?
Who am I without the pain?
Who am I without the regret?
Who am I without taking the blame?
