I walk forever Down this hall Of grey lights that drone A buzzing call I see an exit Off to the side But this is where My soul resides Living in the gray Living in the gray The tensions rise in the minds of the none Who can see the internal bleeding Something dies when the light of the sun Is blocked out, it's warmth so fleeting I have no desire to feel the heat To resurrect the light My body is tired, I drag my feet But the emptiness somehow feels right. Slipping towards the edge Nothing to grab hold Slipping towards the edge Slipping towards the edge And I fall But somehow I survived Somehow I survived Somehow I survived And bled the color Back into my soul

Why must I deal with such a damper on my soul Why must I dig myself out of someone else's hole This ambient sadness is not of my creation This whole situation defies any explanation Fighting in this uphill battle is wasting me away Fighting for whom and against what- I truly cannot say Unsure of why I'm afflicted with such a sinking curse Unsure of why this problem seems to be getting worse I feel an ambient sadness coming over me It hollows out all my feelings and leaves my heart empty I feel the ambient sadness, a cold and dreary mist There is no purpose that I see for it to exist My remaining hope can no longer tread this flood My body's grown cold; no warmth flows through my blood All that I once dreamed of drowning under ice All that I once lived for, wasted sacrifice I feel the ambient sadness coming over me I'm endlessly spiraling downward, never to break free I feel the ambient sadness, a deluge of cold rain Though I search, I cannot find shelter, protection from the pain Eating away like a disease At the inside of me The infection permeates farther Digging down Digging down Drilling Ripping apart An empty void that only gets darker Falling down Endlessly Gaining Speed Spiraling Cannot see 'Cause I'm falling toward nothing. I'm perpetually plunging in darkness I need it to end A crash To let me die Will not feel the ambient sadness Will not feel anything at all.

How can this be real? All this makes me feel so wrong This hollow aching pain's been making me insane for so long The voices are so strong I can't even understand my self But it's happened for so long, I'm turning into somebody else Misinterpretations of the voices in your head I can't even understand myself, my mind being misread Misinterpretations of the voices in your head Don't listen Misinterpretations of the voices in your head I can't even understand myself, now I'm being mislead Misinterpretations of the voices in your head Don't listen None of this makes sense, mixed messages from within In a spiraling decent, I see no way that I can win I hide it all within but I feel the walls beginning to crack The air is getting thin, I've passed the point of no turning back Misinterpretations of the voices in your head I can't even understand myself, my mind being misread Misinterpretations of the voices in your head Don't listen Misinterpretations I can't take it anymore I just want things to be the way that they were before Misinterpretations there has to be something more I can't take it any longer, It cuts me like a knife But fighting back will make me stronger, and I'll reclaim my life Misinterpretations of the voices in your head Time that I start fighting and refuse to be mislead Misinterpretations of the voices in your head Don't listen Misinterpretations of the voices in your head Never think of giving in, I'd rather die instead Misinterpretations of the voices in your head

Frequency and magnitude will not stay the same Even central tendency may change No matter what, it will always come around so Don't let the troughs drag you too far down Frequency and magnitude will not stay the same But you can always try to make a change So when the weightlessness comes as you start to fall down Know that you can stop yourself from hitting the ground If you can feel the waves moving you Then you're feeling something If you can feel the energy passing through Well at least that's one thing That one thing is the push that gets you through It cleanses you of pain and makes you feel brand new Free from all the hurt and all the hate for yourself And the emptiness that leaves you just a cracking shell That one thing is the push that gets you through Even when there's nothing left to hold onto 'Cause as the tensions rise and your structure falls A spark ignites beneath the rubble and your heart calls You're Alive Something pulses through your veins And your arteries and impulses inside of your brain Electrifying feeling that you're alive, you're alive You're alive Electrifying feeling that you're alive (Pulses through your veins) You're alive

If you're feeling down and you're wearing a frown 'cause your Skies aren't so blue I know a girl who can turn your world around And help you She'll make you smile make you laugh for a while and fill Your sky with sun Her contagious laughter doesn't stop 'till after It's spread to everyone Yet she cries 'cause people don't realize that she Has problems too Her smile's a disguise and tears fall from her eyes, so now It's up to you To return the favor, now you've got to save her from All of her pain Make her aware of the fact that you care and Give her shelter from the rain Be the difference, go the extra distance and Be a true friend Break up the clouds, it'll take some time now But it's worth it in the end People never listen 'cause her happy disposition makes Her seem okay So give her your ear, you've got to listen and hear All that she has to say And she'll come around as her sadness is drowned beneath The sea of light The glow of the moon makes it seem like it's noon as it Illuminates the night But still she cries 'cause people don't realize that she Has problems too Her smile's a disguise and tears fall from her eyes, so now She needs you She's a very special friend Keep her close until the end So, as you know, she had to go, and all I have to say Is she's a friend who's like a sister and I know I'm gonna miss her Now that she's gone away.

Flowing through every one of us Is a miracle of soul and science So many people throw it away You know they're so caught up and mindless Chasing after endless things they think will bring them joy Old and tired at the end, alone with all their toys This finite time it gives to us Is something quite amazing So spend it with the ones you love Don't ever keep them waiting Love on a shelf turns to regret and you can never get the time back Will you let it all slip away, or stand up now and act? It's total chaos, total bliss It's love, it's hate, it's happiness It's everything that you can imagine And it hurts like hell, but all is well, cause it's life. It happens right now, so wake up and face it Ticking away, so you better not waste it Caught up in your emptiness So look now and see what you've already missed The future is shrinking before your eyes and the past is already done Looking back in your memories, are you pleased with what you've become? Everybody listen, let me explain That live is more than just a mixture of pleasure and pain It's a miracle we have and it's yours to face So enjoy every second, cause it's more than a race Will you appreciate the chance you've been given To run from the herd rather than being driven through a rat race? Now you can change your pace Slow down to embrace the beauty of this place It's total chaos, total bliss It's love, it's hate, it's happiness It's a means to itself, so choose how to use it But never forget that we all have to lose it

I used to worry about the future to come And fret regretting the things I'd already done The woes of past, present, and future all taken as one Began to pull me down beneath the ocean Apprehension and worry would pile on top of the stress And it would drag me down and leave my emotions a mess My negative outlook would feed right off of itself And my life spiraled down into what seemed like hell I changed my way of thinking I saw my feet were sinking So I grabbed a rope And held on with all of my strength So I let the good people around me pull me out They may not have known, but in their help I've no doubt And then I reached out, trying to be a good friend But it helped me more than anyone else in the end I changed my way of thinking I stopped my ship from sinking The weight of gravity gone from my shoulders Now I'm free to fly And there's zero gravity weighing me down Nothing gluing my feet to the ground And I'm free to keep on moving forward Never knowing or caring what I'm heading toward 'Cause I've made the decision to take things just as they come Because using precision in guessing the future is dumb It yields only disappointment and anxiety So I try to make it a point to plan reasonably And there's zero gravity weighing me down Nothing gluing my feet to the ground And I'm free to keep on moving forward Never knowing or caring what I'm heading toward Zero gravity sucking me in- to the darkness over and over again And I throw the past over my shoulder It can no longer hurt me or make my world colder The oppressive worry The repressive truth The hollowing hell The venomous tooth The incessant pain The ever-present knife That stuck into my side I expel from my life From the unknown future The newly found light Has removed the damper Has given me flight There's zero gravity weighing me down Nothing gluing my feet to the ground It's illuminated a clear path home And I'm grateful for this gift of shalom Zero gravity's given me wings Liberated me from all of the things That used to haunt me, plague me, drag me down So I can look past the thorns to see that I have a crown
