The Anvil

Thinking on this heavy weight that lays on me,
Wondering what it feel like to be free
I should just shed it but then the doubt creeps in
And I keep wondering if the weight was just a shield of my own
A shield of my own
What if I Leave behind this anvil that I hold
And realize it wasn't worth the Pain
What if the weight kept me from knowing what I lack
And all I want is to pick it up and just go back
Searching for enlightenment in so many ways
But I can't seem to see beyond this mountain in my way
Is the reason I can't seem to hit the goals I make
A product of my own self hate
Something Deep beneath all the weight
What if I leave behind this anvil that I hold
And realize it wasn't worth the Pain
What if the weight kept me from knowing what I lack
And all I want is to pick it up and just go back
And all I want is to pick it up and just go back
What if I leave behind this anvil that I hold
And realize it wasn't worth the Pain
What if the weight kept me from knowing what I lack
And all I want is to pick it up and just go back

Days and Nights

Long have been the days since I've heard anything
Not so much as whisper from your lips
And long have been the days since the smile on my face
Was more than just fleeting glimpse of joy
I always thought that you'd be there to pick me up
But it seems that that illusions been swept up
By the growing and the learning that I've done
Even though I'd hoped that it would bring you close
So I've given up on hoping you’ll come back
You disappeared into the wind, no note no loving sign
Just an empty house for me to sit alone
With all the ghosts and memories of everything that we once was
But no matter how much i think i moved on
I keep catching myself looking down the road
Hoping you’ll come home
Long have been the nights since your warmth was by my side
The safety of your touch is dead and gone
Long have been the nights since I’ve looked up in the sky
And felt like you were looking up there too
I guess all I ever was is just naive
A dreamer with ideas of greener things
The world is so much different without you
I'm not sure that this new life will ever do
So I've given up on hoping you’ll come back
You disappeared into the wind, no note no loving sign
Just an empty house for me to sit alone
With all the ghosts and memories of everything that we once was
But no matter how much i think i moved on
I keep catching myself looking down the road
Hoping you’ll come
Given up on hoping you’ll come back
You disappeared into the wind, no note no loving sign
Just an empty house for me to sit alone
With all the ghosts and memories of everything that we once was
But no matter how much i think i moved on
I keep catching myself looking down the road
Hoping you’ll come home

Enough

Used to think I had to have all the answers
To all the questions for all these holes
Thought I walked on the edge of a knife
One false move and you’d cut me from your life
Then that part of me died
All my arrogance and all my foolish pride
And I started to settle down
When I realized there's enough of you to go around
I was so mad when I walked away
With all the mess you’d left inside my brain
I tried to burn it all away
It was the only way to break free from these chains
Then that part of me died
All my arrogance and all my foolish pride
And I started to settle down
When I realized there's enough of you to go around
Well, A lot has changed since the time when was able to let you go
I still feel and I still see you all around everywhere I go
But for all the miles I’ve come, there's a million more to go
But I don't need to worry any more
Then that part of me died
All my arrogance and all my foolish pride
And I started to settle down
When I realized there's enough of you to go around

Dear Carl

I’ve been holding on to you like a fairy tail ghost
13 years have passed and i still cherish you the most
Its taken all this time for me to put you down these words
Cause I could never find a way to tell you what you're worth
And i realized there is nothing I could do
That'd do justice to the time i spent with you
We were kids and we were dumb
And all we had was fun
We had no idea the pain that life could throw at us
But one day we found out
And it knocked us to the ground
But only I got up and you weren't there to help me out
And I knew that I would never be the same
Since the day your head went down Beneath the waves
I gave up hope
That everything would be ok
I tried to write a thousand times but i had no words to say
And the ink penned on this paper
Will always fail to show the grace you were to me its more than they could ever know
So ill tell them not to throw their time away
To cherish every moment
And be present in the day, Today
