Never let it fade away

Catch your fallen hero
And put them in their place
Because they don't belong here
Down here in mortal space

I've spent too much time bitching
About what could've, should've been
Not taking the best of what I have
And doing how I do...

I've seen the future of my past
I've seen the bravest of them fall
What happens next cannot be predetermined
I still control what I'll allow myself to see

I know it's my time to take a stand
Make this the turning point of my life
But...

I'm scared to take my place
Among the heroes in outer space
For I am here where I belong
Here in the doldroms of mortal space

I can see the way you feel tonight
When I look into your eyes
I know this road was built for two
But tonight I walk alone

I know the choice is mine to make
If I allow myself a chance
But fear is the only coat I'll ever wear
While I have this cross to bear

You walk into a bar at night
You take a look around
You take a glance right down your nose
You boast how great your dreams are
...When barkeep is a writer
...That man in the corner is Broadway star

Your shit is what you make it
They want what they get and when they finally get it
They only want more

I'm so fucking scared to take my place
Among those heroes in outer space
This is not even close to where I belong...
Staring up at the doldroms of mortal space

Morning Waiting

Wednesday morning came a went
The call from you I'll never get
I wish it didn't come to this
Elsewhere to find eternal bliss

And I swear this time it's up to you
And I'd pray... but there's nothing I can do

So instead of wasting days getting older
I'm gonna have to find my own ways of closure
This afternoon...

And yes, I cry, these tears are real
I never thought we'd see our 'Wheel'
I should've promised more than I delivered
But you could see through it...
You could see through me...
Or so I thought

This wasn't my first love
Or my last chance
This was just a dumb-dumb string of ideals
Brought about from our friend's appeals

My phone is still with me,
Nothing has changed
And I knew that I loved you,
Thank god that changed

You may have torn me in half,
But I'm only going to come back twice as strong
