My madness is Lucid

After moving away from Los Angeles I realized that I was living in a fantasy and not reality. My madness became clear after taking a step back and I could see everything I wanted to be and I said I'd be.

It came clear to me
In a dream
I was mistaking life for fantasy
I could see
A better life for me
Instead of running away, unconsciously
Help me break free

Hey
My madness is lucid
Everything I was I'll throw away
My madness is lucid
I see, everything I said I'll be

Found salvation
In craving pain
Comfortable in my grief
Unable to change
I would say
I was feeling ok
While bleeding, in my rage
Help me break free

Hey
My madness Is lucid
Everything I was I'll throw away
My madness is lucid
I see, everything I said I'll be

My eyes they
Were closed and
My heart was frozen over
My lies made
My world safe
But it was getting colder
The part of me that gave up is hoping
I have to surrender just to believe

Hey
My madness Is lucid
Everything I was I'll throw away
My madness is lucid
I see, everything I said I'll be

Trying to figure out the meaning of my life and where I am going and who I want to be. It seems no matter what I do, destiny already knows.

How can I know
The reasons for my life
How can I hope for
My dreams to come to life

When all that I want is to be in a moment
Anywhere with you
In a flash it's all gone
I'm left alone
Fighting my way back home

Take from my hands my life
I need a reason
For you leaving
Take from my hands my life
I need a reason
For you leaving

I question the meaning
I've let it all fall behind
Destiny already seems to know
So why, why should I try

I break into pieces
After so many meaningless things I've tried
I need you now, inside of me
Saying, everything's alright

Take from my hands my life
Give me a reason
For her leaving
Take from my hands my life
I need a reason
For you leaving me

I search for the answers
But you seem so far away
My eyes won't stay focused
I just see them slowly tearing you away

Chorus

Everyone has walls built up holding them back from doing the things they want to do. You have to break through them to see the light on the other side and push yourself.

You scared that things will never get better
Dreams foiled, today feels the same
You promised to
Never feel stuck in the muddle
Hands filthy from the bottom of your day
You are fear

Don't hide
Believe it's all inside
Hold it like it's the last thing you will do
Its not too late
Hold onto your faith
Taste it like it's the last thing you will do

Push through the wall
Right now today
Push through the wall
We believe in you

Home alone another empty dinner
Your hearts pounding cause you know its not your way
You are hear
Never hide
Your eyes open wide
Hold it like it's the last thing you will do
Rip through your pride
Scream your still alive
Taste it like it's the last thing you will do
We believe in you

Push through the wall
Right now today
Push through the wall
We believe in you

Never hide
Your eyes open wide
Feel it like it's the last thing you will do
Rip through your pride
Scream your still alive
Taste it like it's the last thing you will do
We believe its you

A man just wants to fast forward to all the good things in life, feeling he doesn't have enough time for anything, especially his family. Without realizing it, when he has fastforwards through all the bad things in life most of his life passes him by and he ends up missing valuable moments with his family, and things he loves. It takes him to die to realize he was in heaven. life is as much about the moments you would rather forget as it is the moments you will always remember.

Wrote it based off the script of the movie CLICK with Adam Sandler

Another wrinkled day
With nothing to hold onto or taste
You missed everything
Just to get to that moment and stay
And for what

Wrapped with sweet regret
You realized you must keep what you craved
What if nothing's left
Trapped inside cages you break
And for what

Sleep till you runaway
Dream till you runaway
Give it a little time it can change
Sleep till you runaway
Dream till you runaway
Takes you to die
To realize you were in heaven

Cradled in your pain
Escape to the promises you made
Thoughts of better days
Forever and ever you say
And for what

Sleep till you runaway
Dream till you runaway
Give it a little time it can change
Sleep till you runaway
Dream till you runaway
Takes you to die
To realize you were in heaven

Apologizing for all the mistakes I made to the ones I love

166 BPM

I'm blowing out
Dust in my mouth
There's no hiding what I'm feeling
Or the tears I have cried for you

This silence isn't healing
My soul is freezing
Going to close my eyes
Feel the sunrise for you

I'm hanging on
I'm hanging on
Can you forgive me for sadness and being a fool
I'm hanging on
I'm hanging on
Can your forgive me for anger and being a fool

I'm separating out
My fear my doubt
This overwhelming feeling
Is the pain I'm breeding for you

I'm hanging on
Can you forgive me for sadness and being a fool
I'm hanging on
I'm hanging on
Can you forgive me for lying and being a fool

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I'm hanging on
I'm hanging on
Can you forgive me for being a fool
Can you forgive me, for being a fool

Realizing after feeling down for so long and trapped in a relationship that you want to escape and live your life the way you have always dreamed and wanted

Into the light
I cross the line
Wanting to redefine myself
Needing a new day to learn

No longer I hide my desire inside
Wanting to reach this peace of mind
Needing a new day to learn

I want to live
Follow the stars aligned in my sky
Push through the shadows chasing my life that burn
I want to give
back all the things that I have taken
All the choices I should have been making and learn

I needed change to rearrange
My heart and what I was needing
To feel love and stop the bleeding
My own way

No longer feel pain
I'm in control
Don't feel trapped anymore
I'm not blaming you
Can't you see

I want to live
Follow the stars aligned in my sky
Push through the shadows chasing my life that burn
I want to give
back all the things that I have taken
All the choices I should have been making and learn

New day to learn
New day to learn

I want to live
Follow the stars aligned in my sky
Push through the shadows chasing my life that burn
I want to give
back all the things that I have taken
All the choices I should have been making and learn

Not being able to do the things you want to or be the person you want to because you are stuck behind your own fears.

Lyrics by Aaron Cuadra, Matt Noveskey & Andy Sharp
156 BPM

Would you help me save you
From the lives that you've led
Release on the grief and guilt that lives
In your head

Would you let me hold you
To the promise you made
To the ones who sold you out
You've been replaced

You're a slave to the world
Broken down
Flustered in the way
You make yourself
Helpless now
And separate the life from your skin

How many times have I told you
Some things you can't change
You've wasted all your days in vein
Still everything's the same

You're a slave to the world
Broken down
Flustered in the way
You make yourself
Helpless now
And separate the life from your skin

slave to the world
Broken down
Flustered in the way
You make yourself
Helpless now
And separate the life from your skin

Skin
Skin
Skin, Helpless now
Skin, Helpless now

After being kicked around for years, not finding love, being grateful for it finding you. My girl has Hazel Eyes, she found me when i needed it the most.

I'm battered and bruised
Kicked around
By thousands of shoes
I don't know
If I can face another day
In this lonely world without you
Everybody sing

I try to stand tall and breathe
My heavy heart
Makes it hard to believe
I let go of my fear of love
Thank you for finding me

I look in your eyes
Hazel skies I see
Thank you for finding me

I dream of your eys
Hazel skies I see
These skies won't fade
I know they were made for me
hey

I'm battered and bruised
Kicked around
By thousands of shoes
I don't know
If I can face another day
In this lonely world without you
Hey

In this lonely world
Without you
Without you
Thank you for finding me
