The Prospect 07:50
Fate! Opportunity comes knocking but you’re afraid You can’t bring yourself to answer Over-analysis, paralysis brings you down Back to reality (a tragedy) The dream goes on The life you want cannot be built inside your mind Imagination cannot satisfy Irresponsible! Impossible to move on Excommunicate and separate yourself from those who you love Listen to the voice inside, the only one who cares The only one who can make it right, the only one who’s there Watch a life unfold and wish it could be you Reach out and watch it fade away instead of coming true Try to posture, try to fake Try to fool them, you’ll never get far enough to fail Listen to the voice inside, the only one who can make it right The only one who talks to you, the only one who knows the truth Watch your life unfold and wish you could be there Reach and touch a friendly hand instead of running scared

The sun sets on your life And you feel you’ve been left behind That you’ve wasted your time And you’ll never catch up to where you should be Everybody seems so goddamn happy What’s the secret they all know All your life you chased perfection But you never got close Once upon a time Everything felt right Then you opened up your eyes And the dream fades out of sight Never let them see How you really feel If you open up your heart What will you become? This is not for you Not with everything you have been through You know they won’t understand So you shouldn’t even offer up your hand If they knew what you were like inside They’d be disgusted It’s best to hide Smile and wave like everything is all right Save your tears for the night Once upon a time Everything felt right Then you opened up your mouth And the world came crashing down Push it all away Never to betray You could do it all their way But what would you become?

Waiting on the edge Staring off into oblivion Liking what you see Never thinking you could break free Waiting for the end Longing for a new beginning and Ready to try again “This is the one,” you keep telling yourself It’s happened again The fear takes hold There’s nowhere to go You can’t run away The walls are closing in The way it’s always been Give in to your dismay No hope can avail you anymore It’s getting desperate Let’s get it over with What are you waiting for? On the edge again Close your eyes and touch infinity Far too long you’ve been Waiting to embrace your destiny Stepping off the edge No surprise there’s no one stopping you What did you expect? All your efforts failed to break through It’s happened again The fear takes hold There’s nowhere to go You can’t run away There’s no solution No resolution will be forthcoming today Waiting on the edge Scared of falling in and equally Scared of going back Either way you see no future Thinking about the end Longing for a new beginning but If you try again Do you think it’ll be any different? It’s happened again The fear takes hold There’s nowhere to go You can’t run away This damn anxiety So reliably controls your every day No hope can avail you anymore It’s getting desperate Let’s get it over with What are you waiting for?

Crossing a line of intention Point of no return Contemplating a new revelation Calling for help but no one turns A new type of desperation Sinking every night Emotional desolation Preparing to give up the fight Everyone you meet is just another deceiver Cast aside your faith Now you’re another non-believer If you listen to all those lies You’d think you had done something wrong The clarity you seek can’t be had for nothing You’ve got to play along Search all you want You will never find what you’re looking for Happiness is a state of mind If your wires are crossed then you poor, poor thing You wanted to die so many times Sowing the seeds of destruction Preparing to reap Empathy is your weakness Keeping you from making the leap Everyone you meet is just another deceiver Cast aside your faith Now you’re another non-believer If you listen to all those lies You’d think you had done something wrong Hold your breath and wish for death But you keep on living It’s your curse to carry on Everyone you meet is just another deceiver Cast aside your faith Now you’re another non-believer Used, abused, and left confused Thinking you did something wrong Make true what you always knew That you’re good for nothing And you never will belong

Darkness spreads all across the earth There’s no future and you have no worth I know you tried but now it’s time Life has nothing for you It’s time you gave up the fight No one cares about you All the smiles and kind words are just lies How can you live with a broken heart? Watch life passing by and realize That it’s too far, too high to climb just to fall Don’t you think I know it? I just want to stop the pain But I don’t have the courage I wish that I could find another way Destiny calls and the hammer falls For you tonight All you see was never meant to be It was just a dream And you slide into the night Find your peace Destiny calls and the hammer falls For you tonight All you see was never meant to be It was just a dream Close your eyes and say your last goodbyes Make believe that someone cares And then you slide into the night Find your peace
