This Is Not A Test

(album: Tony Was An Ex-Con - 2009)

Too close now to see it but my eyes will never leave it
Two years on the go has left us carrying a load but it's not
Too heavy, I love it, keep an eye on one another
We can always tell when things are better left unsaid but we can't
Lose faith now, we're fated. I want it but I'm haunted
By the thought of losing everything that we've been through this far and
Please help me, believe in all these things that I've been screaming
Talk is not enough, god knows I love to talk too much

I'm all that I should be but I'm scared I've just been lucky
Never had to try too hard to test ourselves this far and you know
We've got to keep moving, so much that we've still to prove and
We can always rest when we are dead
Tell me what to do, tell me what to say
Tell me what to do, I've never been so lonely in this place

Don't let me let go now all these things can take their toll
I've floated and I'll float again just take this weight off of my head and
This could be much more now, please don't take the easy way out
Something's changed inside me and I think that I might like it, it's not
Too far from us that we cant reach out and grab with 8 hands
Never talking bout the future wont make us insane so what now
Please hurry, please hurry, oh my god it's just a journey
TALK IS NOT ENOUGH NO
Tell me what to do, tell me what to say
Tell me what to do, I've never been so lonely in this place
Is it easier to lie than to lay your mind to rest?
But this is not a test, the only thing that maims us is regret
