Hey guys, new around here so be nice

Heres a few lyrical ideas I'm playing with, there not perfect or totally complete but see what you think!

In a dream -

Fading in to my delusions
Becoming aware of my fall
I've taken existence for granted

Without meaning or understanding
Im feeling the guilt and the panic
My inside tells me to escape

-

In the woods i've become lost
Deserted my favorite lie
I can't see the way for the trees

-

All the things we should have said were lost
there is no reason to be here only lust
Are we even here
are we even here

-

Here we are up for trial
where everyone around is witness
the only way to redeem is gone

Burn down these walls
and run from the scene
seeking a way to stay clean

-

In the woods i've become lost
Deserted my favorite lie
I can't see the way for the trees

-

All the things we should have said were lost
there is no reason to be here only lust
Are we even here
are we even here

-

Compare the truth to a lie
either way there's no way out...



Through the storm -


I walked alone, around this place on the edge,
My feet were heavy,
I had meant to do this for so long,
But here i live with my mistakes,
always

What they had taken from us,
was forever lost,
We never payed our dues.
What they had taken from me,
I will not gain again,
I never paid my way

I became like the midnight sea
Always breaking the shore
Deserted on the path I once trod
Awakened in the night
There is no reason for me to stay
If things cant be kept unbroken
I will always need more

Used up on the past
Rising against the storm
How do I regain the day.
You were the light once
You were the one I shared
I need another taste
a want to save this vision

What they had taken from us,
was forever lost,
We never payed our dues.
What they had taken from me,
I will not gain again,
I never paid my way


Cutting me out -

There's no need for words,
Id be grateful if you could let me live.
I wish i could believe,
that I had a reputation
I had the proof but our lies had no weight
I had a reason to make up for lost time
As she pulls her strings across my chest
She's cutting them off now, after letting me hide

Ill run away, again.
how can I deserve, what I got in the end.
I've realized, that I have stopped trying,
I cant relate to these missing signs.
Don't let me escape.

They offered us the best that they could manage.
Just let them in again, Just let them in again.
They offered us the best that they could manage.
Just let them in again, Just let them in again.

Ill run away, again.
how can I deserve, what I got in the end.
I've realized, that I have stopped trying,
I cant relate to these missing signs.
Don't let me escape.

There's no need to be still
Id be okay if you would help me leave.
I wish had known,
that I had no way of dreaming.
I had the signs but our time ran away.
I had a reason to let all this go/
As she pulls her strings across my chest
She's cutting them off now, after letting me hide

Ill run away, again.
how can I deserve, what I got in the end.
I've realized, that I have stopped trying,
I cant relate to these missing signs.
Don't let me escape.



Unfamiliar place -

We read the words wrong from the start
no one is asking us to stay
the only thing we needed to be was lost
maybe this is how this works
so many people in this place
but nobody seems to fit
I don't seem to fit

Wheres the drive in all of this
avoiding the ones we crave
Keep our backs turned long enough
to see we made mistakes
maybe thats the reason i don't belong in this place.

Where have all the lonely ones gone
Who am I with out them

We made our drawings but erased the lines
And no one seems to care
were do we go when the floor grows too cold
there is no understanding
so many people remain
But they don't understand
I don't understand

Wheres the drive in all of this
avoiding the ones we crave
Keep our backs turned long enough
to see we made mistakes
maybe thats the reason i don't belong in this place.



If you were wrong -


I find it difficult to say,
were going to have to change these rules we break
to reward ourselves with the score
so the ones we tricked will never know
Its the most trustworthy thing to do

we must leave a mark to find our way again x2

Did you ever wonder if you were wrong,
about the reason we understand?
well its meaningless to try to work this out.
there is no reward without a crime.

I have mis-spoken, lost all my senses.
my fear lies broken.

I find it difficult to know,
When there's no map no easy way take
ill walk straight through the open door
so the ones we trusted will always know
It was the easy thing to do

we must leave a mark to find our way again x2

Did you ever wonder if you were wrong,
about the reason we understand?
well its meaningless to try to work this out.
there is no reward without a crime.
