They Are Just Words

They have no meaning.

It's the changing of the seasons

I'm sure you have your reasons

you have now committed treason

my world is without reason

A greater understanding

Never taken for granted

Appreciate the little things

Ask how you're doing

care what it means

Tell me your dreams

Tell me a lie

Tell me you love me

An eye for an eye

For you, for us, for love

I'd of died

Swallow your pride

In me you confined

Young and alive

Only the strong survive

You are all deprived

Spoon fed lies

Living with somebody else's guilt

Playing somebody else's guitar

Singing your own tune

Marching to the beat of your own drum

You'll never know the meaning of fun

Such an undeniable feeling

To know I have won

So subtle

I expect no rebuttal

I expect nothing less

I expect nothing

exceeding expectations

I have replaced them

Taken over by the colors of life

Driven under by the reasoning of realities

Risen above this darkness

In these times of defining character

In this place of refining scattered truths

From the ground where I stem from my roots

My evidence refutes and I refuse

To do anything less than branch out

Reaching for the sun, Feeding on this energy
