I loved the way things used to be, life was genuinely interesting,
Everyday the plan was never the same
But eventually all good things have to (change)
They say that everything happens for a purpose
It's hard to agree when you feel worthless
When all that you hear and see screams "you mean nothing to me"
(Trying to build self-esteem isn't as easy as you would think)
I'd been searching for relief in people that only wanted to use me
They said that I couldn't be what I'd always wanted to be so watch me
(Eventually)
Open your mind to more than your simple life
Everyone's not the same nor are you always right
Some people's minds differ exponentially from mine
But I still can't understand how someone can be so blind so
Fuck you
I'd been living my life, wasting time
Watching with glass eyes as each day passed me by.
Try and try as I might, I couldn't seem to find a reason why
Why try in a life where no one's by your side?
In time I found a place that I fit in
With friends on which I can genuinely depend
And have adopted a new outlook on life
These days I keep my head in the clouds and my eyes on the sky
(Kevin Bronner of Candlelit Coronation;)
Show me the way
(These) situations, they take more than I'd ever bargained for. It darkens my soul
Take hold of this life and burn it inside
What you see of the world is all in your eyes
These changes are killing me
(Austin)
Changing your life will always take time
But it's always much easier with true friends by your side
If any of these words get stuck within your mind,
Let it be to keep your head in the clouds and your eyes on the sky

Two impressive vocalists, variable and skilled guitarists and a tight and very powerful rhythm section. That plus the ability to write a song really leaves nothing left to desire here. mourner
