Nothing New

[Chorus] This is just some things on my mind A place I've come to that's hard to define But I would like to invite you To take a break and experience what you might do If, once in a while, we looked eye to eye Neither of us spoke, but we both tried To stare past the looking glass surface And educate our self through another person [Verse 1] This is my life, you've heard it all before This is what's right and don't do that anymore Headaches originate from many directions The righteous congregate and parade their lessons I can't take this all-for-one agenda And I alone won't make this place any better The reaction of he who loves A surrounding environment through nothing that he does I am he and I will be whatever you would like from me Would you like to see what I've been around? A face surrounded by faces in the crowd Sad but real, what I feel to be true Found through the people I was raised to abuse Without reach I overlooked the inner search And now I'm left nursing things that hurt This never works (This never works) What age is this when we humiliate the innocent? Then cry for innocence loss Rebellion that circulates around the cross Takes time to pause And on the very silence, holding this Head high as I question my acceptance I'll find acceptance - Auh forget it Me giving advice has never really fitted Just hard to explain but this song Is hopefully something someone can build on [Chorus] [Verse 2] Learn from my mistakes and steal my achievements I really want to believe this person's decent Full of diseases I sort them through Filters I've developed by observing you And I swear I can see these principalities Attacking me right now and it arouses me How my mind's battling, giving me some meaning To blur the lines of reality and dreaming And I'm weaving in and out of this mess And I have yet to be honestly put to the test I'm losing sign of what I was born to do Eat, sleep, and breath but that's nothing new Just something I forget when egos are involved Something I accept while attempting to solve My steadfast curiosity And the fear that there's nobody out there watching me [Chorus] [Verse 3] Here I sit alone in this room I'm moving with the current while looking to improve Where I stand in this dwindling space Where mortals are menacing Reflections of things I wish to become Serenity strikes while I wait for the drums Leaving loved ones behind when I go Holding memories and releasing what I know About the patterns within which I chose To grow up in as a novel approach To mimicking individual opinions The genuine king of a familiar dominion And I'm using this as an excuse For why I feel overwhelmingly confused I watch you choose to follow me Into the shadows of everything that we see
