Misguided Dreams

Lyrics I wrote that will probably never be sung.

Misguided Dreams (Breathe) 

As I walk through the valley I see the shadow of death

As he rests his hand on my shoulder I realize there’s nothing left

Cold stares follow me as paranoia kicks in

And the shadows seem to rise all the way to my chin

The valley seems to crumble from under my feet

And the feelings I just had I cant seem to keep

So I turn around to look into the eyes of man

But cant breathe for the realization that I am now damned

Breathe

To live a life is a lie above all; a sacrifice the sign of the weak and small

Heroic passions a kids fantasy; love abundant seldom received

Poetic visions in a glorious landscape; fantasy driven by a dream unwaken

Tales of the past ridden with danger; bombs still dropping unwilling pleasure

Wake from the dream unwilling to face; a reality sets in one few can take

A world of green obsessed with greed; climbing to the top the way to be

Living through extremes learn from not; pushing ahead to a means of destruction

Lies being the norm faith the ultimate storm; belief in a god of genocide

Gas chambers and fox holes, barbed wire and unending fire

Wrapped in hate of skin and faith; world full of rape and a world of excessive shake

Reality’s a war, a world to abhor, so we escape to the dreams of reality should be

Breathe

As I walk through the valley I see the shadow of death

As he rests his hand on my shoulder I realize there’s nothing left

Cold stares follow me as paranoia kicks in

And the shadows seem to rise all the way to my chin

The valley seems to crumble from under my feet

And the feelings I just had I cant seem to keep

So I turn around to look into the eyes of man

But cant breathe for the realization that I am now damned

Breathe

Man is a parasite unwilling to change; blanket the planet in chaos and rage

Saturate the land of all unholy; beasts laid to rest no glory

Blond hair blue eyes, all sin no pride; a world unworthy to cry

Hallow dreams excess the seams, breaking apart all you see

Be of the cattle never the Shepard; learn your place your lower then s**t

Ultimate power, fate in one hand; pending disaster, one master plan

We can never go back the fruits been eaten, go back to sleep and dream

This is the life we chose from the start, no matter what unwilling to part

Reality’s a war, a world to abhor, so we escape to the dreams of reality should be

Breathe

As I walk through the valley I see the shadow of death

As he rests his hand on my shoulder I realize there’s nothing left

Cold stares follow me as paranoia kicks in

And the shadows seem to rise all the way to my chin

The valley seems to crumble from under my feet

And the feelings I just had I cant seem to keep

So I turn around to look into the eyes of man

But cant breathe for the realization that I am now damned

Breathe

Lying, lying

Here I fall, dying

Here I sit crying

Running, running

Here I’ll wait, yearning

Here I’ll stand, burning

(Repeat)

As I walk through the valley I see the shadow of death

As he rests his hand on my shoulder I realize there’s nothing left

Cold stares follow me as paranoia kicks in

And the shadows seem to rise all the way to my chin

The valley seems to crumble from under my feet

And the feelings I just had I cant seem to keep

So I turn around to look into the eyes of man

But cant breathe for the realization that I am now damned

(bolded lines repeating in BG)

Lying, lying

Here I fall, dying

Here I sit crying

Running, running

Here I’ll wait, yearning

Here I’ll stand, burning

(Repeat)

Breathe
