So I guess it's true you can't fly in a straight line forever No matter how hard you try somethings just aren't up to you This is a stick in my spokes When I fall I hope it isn't slow I wish this was all over now So I wouldn't have to learn Because I would already know I wish this was all over now

There’s so much I would like to say to you But I just can’t seem to find the right words I guess I don’t know enough facts To tell you the truth, I’m confused Don’t know where I am, don’t know where I stand but I’m Looking for riches greater than gold, looking for a cause worth fighting for Trying to find my peace of mind Looking for riches greater than gold, Looking for a cause worth fighting for Trying to find my peace of mind There’s so much I would like to say to you But I just can’t seem to find the right words There are so many distractions in our way People and places just passing through Don’t know where I am, don’t know where I stand but I’m Looking for riches greater than gold, looking for a cause worth fighting for Trying to find my peace of mind Looking for riches greater than gold, looking for a cause worth fighting for Trying to find my peace of mind

Been looking at my feet A sickness handed down Like the photos of buried flames Of our families where we were raised Beneath our thin skin There's blood waiting to be boiled and seeds waiting to be put in the soil Lately I've been wondering what it's like To end your own life The feeling you must get When you know this is it and there's nothing that anyone can do Maybe if I framed this you'd see the art with nothing to reflect off all you'd see is the dark (dark)ness of this existence Darkness of this existence Lately I've been wondering what it's like To end your own life The feeling you must get When you know this is it and there's nothing that anyone can do

I try to be virtuous But trying seems worthless As my love turns to strife and there's no one on my side Will I fall into place or realize the human race Doesn't need me and that there's a galaxy of uncertainty The sky looks clear When I am up here But it's cold and I know Gravity is what is controlling me I feel like I'm on burrowed time and that there are few truths in life I need something to fill the gaps and teach me the lessons I have yet to grasp I'm finally beginning to learn we can't fly straight forever Circumstances change and minds are made Forcing dreams to be traded in or lost to dead ends If your mind gets stuck in the past and you think the world is flat (remember) The sky looks just as bare As it does down here I can feel its hold and I know Gravity is what is controlling me I feel like I'm on burrowed time and that there are few truths in life I need something to fill the gaps and teach me the lessons I yet to grasp Welcome to this world “Dying Is an art, like everything else, I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call. It's easy enough to do it in a cell. It's easy enough to do it and stay put. It's the theatrical Comeback in broad day To the same place, the same face, the same brute Amused shout: 'A miracle!' That knocks me out. There is a charge For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge For the hearing of my heart---- It really goes. And there is a charge, a very large charge For a word or a touch Or a bit of blood”

You're a fraction of a fractal You're a small part of the bigger picture That I can't see yet Because I'm still part of it Senses aren't as precise As anyone would like You can hear what you want and see what you can't But there is nothing as distorted as the past or as empty as a habit What I want I may never have it So, I'll struggle and strain To try to make the change That I feel I need I can't seem to hold my seams together My youthful lust has turned into distrust The pressure changed and the door swung open I was hoping it was you but no one was there Maybe this is for the best If I want stand on my own and if I want this heart to turn into gold instead of stone Invisible forces the strings that control us Even if we don't want to sometimes me must Invisible forces the strings that control us Even if we don't want to sometimes me must There's no other way You'll lose your mind someday I dragged my past To make lines to guide us We tried but never felt right The lines were crossed, the thought was lost I dragged my past To make lines to guide us We tried but never felt right The lines were crossed, the trust was lost I dragged my past  To make lines to guide us We tried but never felt right The lines were crossed and trust was lost I drag my past

I Feel like the dirt That I Grew from And am now Stuck in I have nothing to hide I'll show you my roots To tell you the truth I am made of Stolen thoughts, Broken hearts, And mixed matched parts That weren't meant to fit I Feel like dirt And I'm Not even dead Or at least I think I am Wasted space Because I don't Appreciate The pictures And chances I’ve been given I want to be able To draw those lines And give up all that I’ve called mine I have listened to too many useless words And held on to things that have no worth Nothing carries enough weight to make me change If I'm a node between these waves If not, my cast was set in the mold or I have already sold myself down the river (So there's no point) The spindle spun but the damage was already done I will disintegrate into the ground and this corpse Will give the warmth Of the ideas I thought I'd stored

A wall where a window used to be Trees planted a row And you were that seed That fell deep inside of me Stop and grow You'll try but never know Stop and grow You'll try but never know This is the stick in my spokes When I fall I hope it isn't slow and I wish this was all over now So I could Stop and grow I'll try to but I'll never go Stop and grow You'll try but never know Stop and grow You'll try but never know The colors I once knew now dissolve and my thoughts precipitate and clog my mind and I still have plenty of time to make things right But I won't But I won't But I won't
