Where I Belong
Once in a while, I look around,
Take some time to think about,
What I am, who I am, what should I do?
Am I as happy as I’ve told you?
Am I the one who you thought you knew?
I feel trapped inside myself and can’t climb out.
Chorus:
I need to find where I belong
Or at least find out what’s wrong?
Am I among my own kind?
Or have I been living a lie?
It started when I saw the difference,
Witnessing my brothers’ preference
For violence and not kindness.
Questioning beliefs I’ve held
For years and years I knew them well.
Is it my “family” or my friends that know the real me?
(Chorus.)
Scattered light on a twilit horizon
Guides me through the shadows.
I push on with a shattered spirit,
I hear your voices calling me home.
Your voices call me home.
I know where I belong,
I know what has been wrong.
I’ve been among my own kind,
It was my appearance that’s a lie.
It was my appearance that’s a lie.
Stages
Time has come again for another lesson,
On my knees, hands together, tears fall in confession.
Soft candle light blooms but still illuminates
A life building chronicle on which I will ruminate.
Don’t underestimate the power and the force
Brought forth by a voice, I can’t determine the source.
Of course the idea is now that this voice will somehow
Cause me to be the best so all will bow.
Chorus:
Split upon the rack of our own desires,
Turning on the spit of life’s hot fire.
Passing a hurdle just brings us to the next,
The race isn’t over until we’ve all met death.
Door opens with a groan, echoing thoughts I was alone,
This other person kneels, somber, past of sins to atone.
Should I reach out, is this what friendship is about?
Why do I doubt, in other situations I would shout.
Devout muscles start to tense, I close my eyes in a defense,
Another creak of the door, and now my hands are tightly clenched.
The Waxing candle glow reveals that on my other side
A pink bow tied to a girl whose face has not dried…
(Chorus.)
We’re all in stages…
We’re all in stages…
Then the thought struck me that we’re a holy trinity,
All of life encapsulated on the knees of us three.
The girl to my right, she represents the hope,
The desire to do more, to climb higher on the rope.
I’m in confusion, when I cannot climb higher
Should I be honest, humble or a cheat and a liar?
The person to my left has no more tears to be wept,
Inside him are shreds of lies and secrets he should’ve kept…
(Chorus.)
We’re all in stages…
We’re all in stages…
We’re all in stages…
We’re all in stages…
Tell Me So I Know
A tear in my eye
Falls from the sky.
Is this my feeling
Or is it projected on me?
Tell me, tell me so I know.
Tell me, tell me so I know.
Am I just a shadow,
My head hits the pillow.
Do I feel it?
Is this even real?
Tell me so I know.
Tell me so I know.
All the voices that surround me
Want converts to their philosophy.
They speak for individuality
But only for their narrow realities.
Nevermind, I think I know.
Nevermind, I think I know.
White Knights
Stay true to yourself,
It’s what they always say.
But there’s more to honor,
No black or white: it’s gray.
A selfless persona,
Clinging so it can’t get away.
You live to serve those who’ve helped you,
But what if you’re in the way?
Chorus:
A kink in the armor
Of the white knights.
Misguided children who are
Always in fights.
Help those who don’t need it,
All for your selfish pride.
Blind to the chaos you cause,
Unwanted hero who won’t stand aside.
Sometimes you get beaten down and fried.
(Chorus, repeat twice.)
Like a snow on a summer day,
Blocking the warmth of the sun.
Not a needle in the hay
But a barrel of a loaded gun.
Loaded gun.
(Chorus, repeat twice.)
Starting the fight…
Internal Affairs
Wake up to another day,
There’s still some part that’s gray.
Old or new, there’s always some pain,
Bringing the question “what’s to gain?”
Chorus:
Every time it seems that there’s peace… for a while,
We seem to seek the things that bring us down.
In life
We fight…
We all want to win our wars.
Caught in your shell,
Your special personal hell,
Inside the walls you’ve raised,
Mirroring your own judging gaze.
Can’t you see?
You’re your own enemy.
(Chorus, repeat twice.)
If you think that you are better
Then you should know that you have already lost the war.
Change
Sun-beating down upon my back,
I walk barefoot on the sands.
The sweat stings my eyes
And I’m blinded by the skies.
Why am I here? What does this mean?
Is this all just a terrible dream?
Or is my mind telling me
That this is what my life’s become?
Should I be changing?
Chorus:
Get locked in to the system,
Hypnotized by imperfection,
Locked in a personal cage,
But your soul is telling you to change.
They say expand upon the theme
But kill your thoughts to help the team.
Take out problems on those you love
Then they leave and now you’re alone.
This happens more than we’d admit,
No one comes to start changing it.
Go insane or decay with time,
Ask “is this what my life’s become?”
WE SHOULD BE CHANGING!
(Chorus.)
(Don’t) Just do what you’re told…
(Repeat 6 more times.)
WE ALL ARE CHANGING!
WE ALL ARE CHANGING!
(Chorus.)
