My eyes tell lies/ my lies tell my eyes/ to feel this way/ to kill this pain/ to in my sane/ to sin my vain/ i dry my crying eye/ why die while flying high/ i try to hide my sigh/ i put up this wall/ can't hear you call/ can't fear you all/ they say turn that frown into a smile/ but i say i've been down for a while/ lower than low/ nowhere to go/ stuck in my mind/ need luck to find/ people say no pain no gain/ but with pain no fame/ holds me back like i'm going to fight/ but i need to fight to make things right/ so let me go obtain my sight/ i need to grow to take over with all my might/ see the future block the past/ free the creature shock the cast/ cause my life is a movie and God is the director/ i'm nice then moody and odd but i'm the corrector/ projecting my cerebrum/ expecting my freedom/ from this nightmare called my mind/ some i might scare but im kind/ i stare but i'm blind/ meaning i see what i think and think what i see my own images is what i'm receiving/ i'm playing tuga war with my mind and heart/ i can't go anymore it ends before it starts/ deep down in my core is breaking apart/ making a spark/ igniting the fire/ i'm fighting but soon i'll retire/ expire/ down goes me but not my entire empire/ i want to leave peace with the ones i inspire/ me the one you admire/ all your souls i want to acquire/ me floating to heaven with the sound of the choir/ higher and higher/ God's hand is what i desire/ acceptance is what i require/ i am the sire/ i'm the truth and you're a lying liar/ i want to be the angel on earth/ to end all the pain that'll hurt/ change the same/ cause we need change to get out of the rain/ we're crowded with fame/ leaving the unsung heroes to blame/ and i'm the one that still hasn't sung/ time will come/ to hear the words i created with my tongue/ that will influence the young/ to make sense of the world that's hung/ by the string that i hold/ cause i will soon be in control/ but i will use my powers for good/ i can do, not shoulda, coulda, woulda, and i will be understood/ in this journey called life i will prevail/ i will come against challenges and won't fail/ but the insecure beast is holding me back/ my heart is pure but it's molding and starting to crack/ i'm sometimes sad and mad/ i was wishing for the happiness i could have had when things went bad/ but i'm glad/ to push play in my life, no more trying to rewind/ i need to unwind/ this tangled mess that i'm in/ i need to find the angle to point me in the right direction/ that will bless me and the rest in sin/ i need to establish a start before i have this smart,art,heart/end.
