Visions

(album: Just For Now - 2014)

I was crying, laying on that floor
Hoping I would be a star, forever wanting more
If it's battle, I'll go to war, fight my best, forget the score
We are the kids who always finished second, half the time ignored
We're the kids who didn't take no for an answer
The kids who fight their own battles, the kids who fought with these cancers
But always kept their head up, didn't wanna be pampered
Understood the competition and stuck with their standards
Didn't change for nobody, because "popular" didn't matter
It was a meaningless factor that only lead to disaster
This is normal for a kid of my age, tired of being inside this cage
Together we should turn the page and take our spot, it's in the stage
But honestly, you understand what I'm given? I can't
Fake it anymore, I finally made a decision, I'm musician
So laugh, while I carry on my mission
And when I finally make it big, you won't get no admission
Hold on close, 'cause I will bring you all along
Hear each other's voices, it's a never ending song
When you run your own path, there's no way to be wrong
Now sing, before the moment is gone

And I don't wanna go back (back)
I'd rather stay right here with you
And I don't wanna fall down (down)
When I was feeling so new
Through all the fear, the blood, the tears (tears)
I'm finally seeing
Through all the fear, the blood, the tears (tears)
I'm finally seeing clear

Listen, I understand cause I've been down too
Lost at all, falling out and what I needed was you
You couldn't stand to bear the criticism we go through
Now I'm sitting all alone, thinking if what you said was ever true
See, we define ourselves by our actions
And if we ain't be yourself, then you're actually acting
And lacking with passion, and you won't get no satisfaction
You be simply living life while your time is just passing
So quit lying, and open up the door yourself
Pursue the fairytale dream you had when you were twelve
And don't listen to any opinions that don't come from yourself
'Cause when you finally find success, you'll have a story to tell
You'll say, "They doubted and hated, didn't believe I would make it"
And they would go back home and listen the same music, but he's famous
It doesn't make sense, it's so ironic, we live in a world that's now bionic
Nobody listens until the world does, and that's honest
It's not your fault, it's the way us people have become
We learn not to defend our hopes, but instead to have none
So what do you say? Let's undo what's been done
And start this new chapter, where our thoughts may just run

And I don't wanna go back (back)
I'd rather stay right here with you
And I don't wanna fall down (down)
When I was feeling so new
Through all the fear, the blood, the tears (tears)
I'm finally seeing
Through all the fear, the blood, the tears (tears)
I'm finally seeing clear
