i've seen meadows become mountains of pride within me;
witnessed the light within the darkness inside befriend the helpless soul that i've become
and even in my weakest phases
my darkest days are often brighter than the lightest rays you could feel me burnin' through the shade
i'm convinced that i ain't changed
my close friends say if you press rewind and look at haze the person that i am now is not the same
i tell them when seasons change everything else has to fall in line
i feel like i've lost my spine
i thought that conquering the minds of this troubled youth would get me through
but it seems as though i've forgotten me to get to you
when all you needed was the truth
there's often great trouble in contemplation
that tendency turns fascination into a permanence
one i hadn't been sure i was prepared for
but you never know what you're prepared for until you're standing within that time
and the only thoughts within your mind are i wanna win. i don't ever wanna have to worry about making it here again
