Chorus: 1

Colors of blue and white splatter the sky

Like paint, shades separate the dark from the bright

This shadow I live in, darkens the light

So I wait for the comfort that comes from the night

 

The darkness allows me a feeling of peace

It is there, where the light, is a light I can see

 

As alone as I feel in this world,

Like a dream,

I run and run for that moment that I'm free

 

Verse: 2

Is this me?

Is this true?

Is there really a god staring from in the blue?

 

If there is I can't tell,

Cuz I can't tell how many times he's failed me when I fell

 

If the past serves me well,

There ain't no such business as forgiveness when you fail

 

No one here when I need help,

But that's how I got good at doing shit by myself

 

Like Martin Luther King,

I've got a dream

And though it seems impossible,

I'm jumping through the obstacles

 

Chorus: 2

 

People say we're all the same

And we're to blame

Well you obviously don't know my name

We're not the same!

Take a walk in my shoes and you'll know my pain

 

I don't mean to complain,

Or speak in vain,

But I feel so chained

 

I reach out for help,

And there's no one there to catch me

I don't mean to sounds so sappy,

But it's one of the many reasons I'm unhappy

 

I do and do for others

And watch as my brothers are living high on the totem like they're fuckin golden!

 

Andrew is handed everything and always has been

While the rest of us just got the finger

Sit and spin!

 

Brandon didn't get his glory 'til he added the army to his story

 

All I'm left with is the left over dust

And it drives me nuts

But I got no guts

So I just sit back and pretend like I'm not in disgust

 

I always wondered why my sister was so fucked up in the head

And made fun of her because she pissed the bed

Now I know where it lead

 

Instead of helping her,

We called her a dur-ta-dur

And tortured her

 

We made her in to the bitch she is today

By all the shit we put her through

Instead of including her, we pushed her away

 

I wanna fray

And go astray,

But every time I get ahead a wall falls and makes me stay

 

All this shit makes me sick

They say express how you feel well I'm doing it!

 

Yeah. I admit

It was no one's fault I flunked school but my own

I quit!

 

It was my decision

I'm the one who has to live with it!

 

My decisions are on my shoulders

If I pick up the weight, I'll hold it

Let me tell you,

Some of them are boulders

 

I'm learning the definition of consequence the hard way

If you're gonna try and put me in my place,

Let me warn you,

I don't give a shit what you have to say!

 

I wasn't born like this

I had to practice

 

This life's a chase for happiness

Well that'll never happen

Cuz whenever you're feeling close

You're shoved back into the madness

 

Chorus 3

 

Faith is all that keeps me going

Tomorrow could be better,

But there's no way of knowing

 

The only way to earn from your mistakes is to learn from your ways

 

Step away from the haze and look at the light that shines on to brighter days
