Misfortunes

These words I write I hold so true
But they don't mean anything, anything to you
I won't let my misfortunes get in my way
I can't allow my shortcomings to hold back me
My mind is weak but my will begins to grow
And still I know that my strength will continue to show
I won't let anything get in my way
Nothing that you say can make my thoughts sway
God let me know
Am I wasting time or should I just let go?
'Cause all these things defeat me
And god let me see the other side you have for me
'Cause all these things defeat me
Should I hold on tight or should I just let go
Because all these things defeat me

Waiting...

I'm in a sticky situation and I gotta think quick
I met a girl with a smile now I'm inquisitive
I'm full of questions, no directions, but affection
Her complexion in her her reflection got my knees bent in a flexion
No I'm not the only one who's ever felt this way
Loving something new
Sitting alone loathing and hating myself
because all of this time i could have been someone else
But now I can behold
I need from you, a parole
to give me your hand to hold
from now until we grow old
I'm full of regrets from mistakes that I have made
All my self-worth and dignity has all since decayed
But somehow an angel inadvertently strayed
and heard that i prayed and put an end to this crusade
I've been in such a rut for so long
and you're my only way out
Would you get me out?
Would you get me out of here?
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
for someone like you x2
Sitting alone loathing and hating myself
because all of this time i could have been someone else
But now I can behold
I need from you, a parole
to give me your hand to hold
from now until we grow old
When I sleep I see you in my dreams
You make sense of everything
Every muse comes true with you
Together with you a life anew
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
for someone like you x4
(When I sleep I see you in my dreams
You make sense of everything
Every muse comes true with you
Together with you a life anew)

Growing up can be so tough.
Everything goes against you.
Life can be so rough.
But just remember to wear a smile.
The pain tends to fade away after awhile.
Humanity has let you down.
Again and again
You scream "The pain will never cease to exist,
And why am I the only one who has to deal with this?"
Society has dragged you down
To feel like nothing but a hopeless frown
You have the want to coexist
But lack the courage to raise your fist
And say "I am done"
But you have the strength to be the one
To scratch the surface on what is real
And tell the world just what you feel
To shed some light on this broken place
Open their eyes to this total disgrace
That they have pushed to the side for far too long
Ignored the difference between right or wrong
Refuse the standards that they have set
The ones that they say you haven't quite met
She screams "Why, why am I still breathing?
Am I a waste of air?
Can they hear me screaming 'Does anyone care?'"
[Daniel McWhorter]:
For all those who had left
It was you who stayed
Up and down this winding road
Guided only by my blind faith
You were there for me when I needed you most
Don't let them make you believe you're not beautiful
'Cause you're beautiful
Just as you are
Do you remember waking up with a smile?
A time before things all changed
Do you remember when you used to say "When will I ever see brighter days?"?
The brighter days are here (3x)
She screams "Why, why am I still breathing?
Am I a waste of air?
Can they hear me screaming...
She screams "No,
I'm too young to let this go
And though the pain inside still grows
I'm never letting go."
One day
We'll fly away (Things will change)
Fly away from all our fears (One day)
And then we'll learn (To see)
To breathe again (The brighter days)
We'll start a brand new life
Just let me in (Find a way)
Into your heart
A place mistreated for far too long
A brand new start to a feeling
That I had held inside all along

Slowly losing all of my virtues
Nothing's left
What the hell is there to lose?
Life is full of all the decisions that you choose
To make
Or Break
All of the risks you have to take
And now I'm stuck with all of my mistakes
Past
And present
Just boiling in my brain
In my bones
My blood
Nothing left, but giving up
And you expect the world of me
But you're the only one holding me back
From everything that I could be
You blind me from the world
That I need to see
I'm alive
For the first time
I'm revived
I can see the light
Taking me back to square one (I can't take this no more)
So I can see you are the scum (I can can see that you're holding me back all this time)
Holding me back all this time (This life wasted with no real reason or rhyme)
No real reason or rhyme
Now I won't let you control my life
It's mine, it's mine
I stepped back from the knife
You held to me
All this time
Get out, get out
I'm taking back what's mine
And you expect the world of me
But you're the only one holding me back
From everything that I could be
You blind me from the world
That I need to see
I was always one to live for others
Never really had any drive to actually live
Always putting myself on the back-burner
Just to put a smile on the faces of the ones who always seem to bring me down to my lowest point
But not this time
No more repeats of the past
No more
Empty promises that you won't keep
Broken families that you create
All of the calamities you proclamate
All the commodaties you reinstate
They leave me destroyed
In a fragile state
That you create
Yeah, you create
