a life bent on meaning

we're all blind from life!

build from these mistakes
take it all back
become everything anyone has
ever wanted to be
this is your life
live the dream dont chase it

leading is something that
is rarely done these days
lead yourself, not others
let them break off in their own ways
falling through sleepless nights
blurring the line between
what has been composed in dreams
and what has been built with your hands
if we are losing this battle
how can we have any hope for the war
the choice between becoming and hoping
the scars you have gained can only be seen as landmarks
imprinted on your skin for you to carry always

and when the world wakes up
and sees all that can be done
we should all fear that it will be too late
that all of us failed to begin so much sooner
we're all asleep, dreaming for a better future
but an idea will always remain an idea until it is put into action
blind them with hope!
grab life by the neck and wring all you can out of it
because the stars are burning out
with your last breath reach out for them
like the dying flame, we can all burn only for so long
until we learn to breathe in reality
and break away from dream
blind them with hope!

this is a life bent on meaning and love
a life bent
on becoming so much more
