Still Breathing -

Illuminated by these city lights

The road before me opens

Contemplation of my past

It leaves me stranded and I’m hoping

That I’m done with these ghosts

They say to be more like my father

This life is my own

And I know that I would…

Rather not stop until my feet are bleeding

Leave your footprints here as breadcrumbs

For the demons you’re feeding

See the faces of the people

That I used to believe in

Let them know I’m okay

And let them know I’m still breathing

Yesterday seems so far away

I suffer for the mistakes that i’ve made

Let them go

They often say that time repeats itself

But not on my watch

See i’ll be the fledgling that will leave this nest

And leaves a shell that history forgot

A suitcase weighted down with memories

I left behind my keepsakes

Firm reminders of my past

Ridicule me for mistakes

I’m still done with these ghosts

I’ll be nothing like my father

The path I take is my own

And I know that I would…

Rather not stop until my feet are bleeding

Leave your footsteps here as breadcrumbs

For the demons you’re feeding

See the faces of the people

That I used to believe in

Let them know I’m okay

And let them know I’m still breathing

Forgotten

A life I tried to leave behind

All I wanted was a little peace of mind

I sold my soul for another chance

Until you’ve been in my shoes

You will never understand

I will overcome

See the faces of the people that I used to believe in

Because I know that I would…

Rather not stop until my feet are bleeding

Leave your footsteps here as breadcrumbs

For the demons you’re feeding

See the faces of the people

That I used to believe in

Let them know I’m okay

And let them know I’m still breathing
