I don’t know much
About this path and where it will go
Another passing day
They all just seem to meld to one

I can see diversion
It’s standing right in front of me
The shiny ones seem to lead to riches of gold
Turning the other way
I see the life I so longed to live

Oh how I wish that I could sleep
So much easier in my dreams
And I dread daylight
Another chance to inquire
Opportunity to regret the path I lead

And if I took that other fork
With everything that I’ve seen
And if I made my own road
There would still be this very dream

I know these thoughts are wrong
My troubles don’t mean a thing
I know that I may never belong
Just want something to seam for real

Oh how I wish that I could sleep
So much easier in my dreams
And I dread daylight
Another chance to inquire
Opportunity to regret the path I lead

Now I know
Oh the glories I’ve achieved
Taking each step
With a greater appreciation for my life
Now I know
Oh the policies that I preach
But now I question how much they truly mean to me

Each and every day
I hope the past can fade away
Each and every day
I pray a little more that it could stay
The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key

    Good read depop...without bad how will we know what good is...without wrong how will we know what is right? Most live through trial and error. Although there is confusion, I like the hope underlying in this one. Some things we will never forget but it all just leads us to who and where we are meant to be. I liked the below verses also. I am a fan of "real", shallow and fake bugs me alot. :)

    I know these thoughts are wrong
    My troubles don’t mean a thing
    I know that I may never belong
    Just want something to seam for real
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    I have this feeling that if it were possible to hear peoples thoughts you would just hear this sentiment echoed throughout the world, louder and louder with each person, so constant and repetitively that it becomes overbearing. It's like a burden on the soul of all of us. some more than others.
