"It's getting harder to live like an honest man,
Choosing the right move in a world that doesn't make sense.
It's like your a failure if you do, ashamed if you can't.
Nobody's willing to give it a chance.
They say that's how it has always been.
Again and again.

It's getting harder to live by the old ways.
And an honest man will always have dues to pay.
You're a failure if you can't, breaking even when you can.
And it's hard to always try to be that man.
They say that's how it's always been.
Again and again.

Again we see the same things,
History will always tend to repeat.
Nothing new ever happens out here.
The time of judgement is always drawing near.
They say that's how it's always been.
Again and again...."

"If only things were different and i was someone else,
Because it is hard to let anyone see the deeper parts of myself.
if only I could say what I want to say,
Instead I'm bitting my tongue each and every day.
If only you saw me and actually looked into my eyes,
Maybe you can see all those things I have to keep disguised.
I have so many things and dreams that I want to share,
But only to that person who shows me that they really care.
Not just that I exist or that I'm such a nice guy or good friend,
But maybe I'm worthy to be the one that is chosen in the end.
Take from this a lesson I shall forever struggle with.
That people almost never see you even if it is plainly your wish.
I'm not good at direction and I suck at taking hints,
And sometimes I may seem strange or like I make no sense,
Maybe I am crazy or maybe I'm insane,
But there's some things about myself that I don't know how to change.
I look at your light and see something more than everyone else,
But maybe it's just better that I keep it to myself.
See that's the thing about longing that seems to hurt the worst.
That way before you notice me I may be the one that falls first...."
