about

A reflective piece I wrote shortly after the recording sessions of Carpe Diem and Carpe Noctem wrapped up.
This is about wanting the best for someone who once meant the world to you no matter how different their life may stray from your own.
This song is dedicated to my ex-bandmates in Sixth Gear.

lyrics

I write like I'm paranoid in all my songs
You've said this before, but never said I was wrong
Who are they? Why are they out to get me?
Do I form my own words to create suspense?
Or am I speaking from personal experience?
I don't really know, but you don't really know what I see
You see a God and a mother that loves you
You feel the warmth of the sun up above you
And I see the tears you cried that one damn night
I write like I'm 15 in all my songs
Some may say it holds me back
But I believe it pushes me on
I guess it just works for me somehow
I can't take back the words I shaped into lies
And I waited so long to hear them from you
So poison, So hard not to try
We don't speak much but I write you songs
When you think of all the characters in every one
Who are they? They're all little pieces of you.
But you see that heaven is a family that loves you
Do you see the stars that I see up above you?
After all of these years I still think I'm losing my damn mind
