King Pin - Expectations

Bright lights and fast colour when I close my eyes
I see a vision of promise when I look to the sky
Unbrushed hair trapped within the shell you wear
To hide the mess that you so desperately want to be
And your eyes they hold the ocean
I swear that I could swim in them for days
A smile she claims needs a gap to be filled
But I can see through the space and it shines your heart through
And to the stars above
They beg for your attention
More than forbidden love
More than just friends
And if there’s really a God
Though I can’t promise there is
I hope he shines that light and lets you in
And this might be love
But I don’t really know what that is
So for now
Let’s just keep the silence on
And turn the lights out
And I will sleep
If you let me
And you can watch over my body as I dream
You can go
Or you can stay
But I’m gonna keep your heart in mine either way
I can’t always think
Before I open up my mind
But if the stars want your attention they’re gonna have to shine
And if there really God
Somewhere deep within the clouds
I hope he can guide that light so you can find your way out

When we sleep at night
I cherish every hour I lie awake to pull you closer
And as time goes by
We’re both just wasting our lives for something greater
Soon you’ll be gone
And I’ll be left to count the hairs trapped in my bed sheets
Are we killing time or just ourselves?
We can lay on my bed
Until our bones decay
But we both know that we wont die together either way
Just holding on to time
As time flies by
Just waiting for our expiration
You tell ancient stories of inspiration
And Im jealous of your faith
But God didn’t choose me
I just wasn’t born to believe
You say there's no room for me in your future
I don't fit in your big picture
And you could leave, but that’s just a burden to carry
My love might not be as great as gods
But i can promise that its real
Trust me, this isnt a feeling that i was prepared to feel
Soon I’ll just lay in my bed
Until my bones decay
Alone, is how I’ll spend every day
Just killing the time as time kills me
Just waiting for my expiration

Heart & Harm - Funeral
02:13

In my final days
I will just fade away
With a funeral
To show what I've portrayed
And I'll see who I love
A life I was proud of
With a funeral
To show what I've become
Lately, I've been thinking about my own morality
And how I've had to live through tragedy.
But I am going to take this tapestry
And make it into my own masterpiece
Because all I want to be is at peace
With the decisions I made, and every wrong I displayed
Every song that I sang, and all the love that I gave.
So don't you dare cry at my grave.
My life wont be in vain...
In my final days
I will just fade away
With a funeral
To show what I've portrayed
And I'll see who I love
A life I was proud of
With a funeral
To show what I've become
Don't put me in that bed
Because I'm not dead yet
I am not dead yet

They slave away
At a job they hate
To provide a better life
For their family
I will never be able to payback the debt that I’ve attained
A lifetime of love and support, this is more than just my name
Forever grateful, for everything you’ve done for me.
The door to my success, you are the key.
You are the key
You are the direction I lead myself
You are my direction
I’ve found refuge here, knowing that you've always persevered
And I can truly say I’m welcome here, I'm welcome here, I’m welcomed here
They slave away
At a job they hate
To provide a better life
For their family
You are the direction I lead myself
