Invent Yourself - Soundcritters

It all felt so real The flow of life that left The world whispered your name In colors so dull and expressionless Was there anything? Maybe I was trying to pretend I wonder if you felt it all along You saw the beginning to the end You watch me drift away Over and over again I'm drowning in the rain Wither away Bury the pain In the hopeless deep Scorched beneath the skin Leaving the surface to make amends Buried in the pain again, but this time It all felt so real Find my way, see through the grey In the hopeless deep The quiet that used to put me to sleep Seems so loud in this restless bleak Watch me drift away painlessly Is it selfish to say I don't deserve it? The constant rain withers me The fine line between giving up and letting go You watch me drift away Over and over again I'm drowning in the rain Over and over again You watch me drift away Over and over again I'm drowning in the rain The quiet that used to put me to sleep Seems so loud in this restless bleak Watch me drift away painlessly Is it selfish to say I don't deserve it?

We wait until the best things are gone To realize they were the best things We wait for the moon to replace the sun To think about what weighs us down Make me realize just what I have I won't leave this earth with an uneasy mind Hold on, hold on A future is what I fear, a future I did not envision Hold on, hold on A future is what I fear, a future I did not envision You've made me, shaped me into Exactly who I need to be I just want to be there for the end I don't want to lose you, but I know I have to Left here is the mold of a man, that you guided, that you guided A part of me, is you, and we will live on I won't let this slow me down, I won't let this carry on If a future is what I fear, then I will create my own Onward Onward to the future I fear so much We wait until the best things are gone To realize they were the best things We wait for the moon to replace the sun To think about what weighs us down Hold on, hold on A future is what I fear, a future I did not envision Onward, to the future I fear so much Onward, to the future I fear so much Onward, onward I will face it with my worn down soul

Wandering, with no intention Gave me reason to stay and grow I will not decay, not decay Rotting from the inside out No sense of direction Weathered and hollow I will not decay, not decay I refuse to take things as they are The eyes of the world are much different from mine I will shift with the winds, and I'll grow as my own Seasons change but I am a constant Take me home Everyday searching endlessly for my motive to be, and something to make me feel whole again The sweet embrace of home has withered away, and I am left standing in the cold Take me home Take me home The sweet embrace of home has withered away Take me home And I'm left standing in the cold Take me home The working hands, and a broken man, amount to nothing, but a house on the sand So many wandering years, on my own two feet, the rugged terrain is rougher than it seems No sense of direction, and no sense of time Up in the sky, will you be my guide? Up in the sky, where can I confide? I swear to you, I won't forget you in this life I am the only constant I am the only constant Wandering, with no intention Gave me reason to stay and grow I will not decay, not decay Rotting from the inside out No sense of direction Weathered and hollow I will not decay, not decay I am the only constant The sweet embrace of home has withered away I am the only constant I'm left standing in the cold I will shift with the winds, and I'll grow as my own I will shift with the winds, and I'll grow as my own I am home

Your cloud hovers over me Oceans of grey Blanket the flashing light, drawing the curtains closed I forge a shelter yet it drenches me, torrential downpour endlessly Casting a shade on purity Forging a shelter it drenches me So tell me Do you believe, do you believe you can love me? Stargazing under the darkness on my roof The clouds blot out the pale moonlight "As surely as the sun rises", says the cloud to her moon I know, it wasn't good for me The way the rain showered me lonely Did you believe you could love me? The heavens break, cloud cascade Quench the torch on my own skin so I can stand in her storm Tide shifting, earth shakes Crashing from the weight of gravity Casting a shade on purity Forging a shelter, it drenches me So tell me Do you believe, do you believe you can love me? Water stands on my skin Runs my blood cold, yet I will never hide Stargazing under the darkness on my roof The clouds blot out the pale moonlight, as surely as the sun rises Your cloud hovers over me Drawing the curtains closed
