Second Chances

Rushing memories, fading in and out
leaving me in thought,
old photographs lying on the floor
i just don't know anymore.
When i was young it was so easy
smiling each moment away,
i'd dance in the morning
and sing to the moon,
But reality washed over me much too soon.
Growing older,
leaving everything wise far behind
Can we ever go back?
Cause now there is something i lack.
Two roads are ahead of everyone
and we all get the choice
but there's always that voice,
turning your head to see who follows
but you're alone
Just left here, to pick out your home.
Nothing makes sense
and you take the first step,
hoping it leads to smiles
and laughter that never ends.
Those voices are calling,
and your feet follow along,
Stop! he yells,
Stop! your leading yourself to hell.
Darkness swallows your head
you have been mislead,
drowning in a ocean you thought was right,
drugs and alcohol
are what get you through each night.
Boys hold your hands
saying words that you don't understand,
sweet talking you just one more time
and soon enough it's done
there's nothing left,
You've given away everything,
this wasn't what you thought was your best.
Loneliness covers your face
you've forgotten how to dance
where are those perfect days
when you sang and felt that warm grace?
Friends aren't even close
all they want is a free dose,
another night lying awake
with needles by your bed
old memories playing over and over in your head.
Demons hold your hands
whispering where to go,
those roads are long gone
you can't even remember where they begun.
How did you get so far
is this your supposed to be,
why isn't anyone helping me?
From a distance you see a light
late at night, in another bar fight,
Could this be?
Death as finally come for me?
Freedom seems to come
it's finally over,
but thats not what this is.
The war begins,
light against darkness
right before your eyes.
you see the savoir fighting
your coming back home
Your saved tonight.
Stop! he yells
Stop! your leading yourself to hell.
You turn around
and fall to the dirty ground,
what have you done?
Where did you go wrong?
As the angels fight for your soul
you dance your self out of the devils coals.
Before you lies two roads
and your head turns back,
but this time you see what the others lack.
You turn around
and walk away
the angels hovering over you
Your soul was found,
He saved you from yourself
He saved your broken life.
i love you! he yells
i love you! you echo back,
You've started over,
and it's right, you can tell.
