From Nothing To Something

We can't always have the best but we can always make the best out of what we have.

The Last Day

"The Last Day"

The night darkens and all the eyes start to open,

hoping for a glimpse of the light but their life's broken.

The doubt of time running out that hides deep in a corner

is now exposed with a thought of every day becoming shorter.

The chase is finally over and we see it's not a race;

we're all running different ways but run into the same place.

Now we hug a little tighter, breathe a little deeper,

love a little harder and fall a little steeper.

Funny how you go from standing still into a leaper

once you finally get a glance at the dark shadow of the reaper.

I just hope that my imaginary friends are all wrong

because I still have words written for this song.

Some are afraid that the calendar stops and the world ends,

but my fear is that we'll continue without making one change.

Trapped In The Middle

"Trapped In The Middle"

In the beginning you where pure without the remedies and cures.

You were a child full of innocence until your happiness matured.

Right before the dawn of your corruption and eruption of hate,

there lived a mind that never saw or heard the evil to say.

Before the years got away and you learned the truth of the world,

there was a genuine smile that occurred without being told.

There was a passion to live before the whisper in your ear

told what you should believe in, and what you should fear.

In the end you'll see the evil and though you''ll no longer be pure

you'll still seek the happiness you did back when you were immature.

Despite your body getting heavy and taking more for you to smile,

when it's revealed the smile is real and genuine just like a child's.

The passion never disappears but the whispering will fade

and you'll find that all your fears were believing what they said.

Life can be a maze or enigmatic like a riddle

Be free and live how we begin and end or stay trapped in the middle.
