No more questions left unanswered
No more shame to plague my heart
No more hypothetical situations
With an unclouded foresight, I now depart

The opportunities slowly slip away
And yet I still refuse to seize the day
Telling myself that the chances abound
That when the time is right, I will come around

This unshakeable fear of failure
Prevents me from achieving what I truly desire
A curse that forces me to procrastinate
Withholding my courage until it's too late

We gamble against the odds to find happiness
But the thought of this lottery terrifies me
Tricking myself to think that if I never fail
I will at least preserve my dignity

After the chances have all gone away
I chide myself for acting like such a fool
My mind lingers over the possibilities
Haunted by the relinquished opportunities

But mark my words: not anymore
No longer will I stand by in passivity
They say that good things come to those who wait
But I must take action to determine my fate

I've taken my chances and did my best
I'll allow fate to determine the rest
The disgrace and humiliation of a failure today
Carves the path for success another day

I see clearly down this one-way road
The journey to my future now awaits
But this time, I chose the best path for me
Knowing that the others weren't mine to take

Mark my words: I have changed
No longer will I stand by in passivity
They say that good things come to those who wait
But I must take action to determine my fate

Mark my words: I have changed
No longer will I stand by in passivity
They say that good things come to those who wait
But I must take action to determine my fate

My goodness! You (and Eccer) use a outhful of words to expresss
yourself. Thanks anyway. Tomorrow is saturday and more time ti think,lol_D

dang man, you boil it down real quick. I love how you leave yourself vulernable but yet end it with a big change of mindset. Very good.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!
amaryn, I do realize that I tend to use many words in my songs, as my songs average about 7-8 verses each. But I think that's because 1) I don't like it when an artist repeats the same verse(s) over and over again in a song, and 2) I try to express myself completely and make the message clear.
The Obscured, thank you for the positive comment! It always helps boost my morale.

Also, I made an instrumental of this song using GarageBand. It is saved as an mp3 file, but I have no idea how to upload it. Any ideas, anyone?
