Reason to be

Struggling, compensating
I'm searching for a reason to live
Because that bright light doesn't lie in yesterday.

I'm like a stray dog, running without a destination.

In order to fill that blank space,
I've been searching for just one line, one sentence.
I ask for way too much from myself, but that will never get me anything,
Why does everything always end up making me fall apart?

I'll reach the sky with this tainted hand.

Desire, resistance
I'm searching for my reason to live
Because the answer doesn't lie in yesterday..
On this page, once my wandering comes to an end,
My reason to live will be composed!

Floating between the lines,
The definition of lies and truth are meaningless, they are nonsense.
I've been running and averting my eyes from an instinct I can't tame...
In the end, nothing saves me from it!

Looking up
Twisting away at it
I'm trying to grab a reason to be.

I'll surely go on to wander a desert of words and desires.
All of us standing in opposition are the outcome of our wandering selves:
A paradox that becomes even more entwined.

I've decided to never ask for too much
Because the reason I can't tame myself
Is because I don't believe in me.

I learned of pain
I realized that was the beggining of my salvation
So take my hand.

Struggling, compensating
We'll keep searching for a reason to be.
We are the only ones who can write this new page.

We are stray dogs, running towards tomorrow.

My war

The sun above this battlefield sways on high
Casting away the shadows settled upon my emotions
As if it was aware they'll someday turn into pain.

Even the dreams born of sadness
Will be forgiven by the world, and by you,
As my feelings run free.

I'll keep living powerfully with all the things from that day - all that exists now, deep within me.

As the past revives,
In this very place,
I have a wish from which I'll never back down.
I'll etch it powerfully with my one and only voice
This is my own war.

Feelings of love intersect, growing dimmer.
I have no need for sympathy - Isn't it pathetic?
From failed outcomes,
I create a new version of myself

That song of hope you sang
Melted away the thorns barring this path,
So that we could see a smiling future.

Screaming out, what resounds is my heartbeat
An impulse I seek to share
And I just realize
That this wish will shine forever.

I'll walk strongly down this road to be reborn!

Holding that warmth,
And promises to be protected,
I'll bare an irreplaceable hope for that wish.
Never forgetting, I'll paint this path powerfully
For this is my own war.

Ringing out,
that impulse took certain form within my hands.
Overcoming my tears,
My will and wishes will shine forever!

I'll go forth powerfully
Breaking the answer fate has given for the sake of my dreams.

As the past revives,
in this very place,
I have a wish from which I'll never back down.

I'll etch powerfully with my one and only voice
This is my war!
