As Days Go By

as days go by
trying not
to let this life pass me by
tonight

 

im reaching out but getting nothing
why can't you see
this isn't just your life
i'm trying to get mine
too

 

doesn't anyone around me
feel the same?
i'm not worried about the blame
just trying
to vent my pain

 

so many times
i felt like this life
has shut me out
the reasons that today
i stand up and shout

 

but this world won't take me
until I've said my word out loud
every last proclaim
that I say in my name

 

and as days go by
my heart starting to feel cold
so painful yet so strange
how it doesn't get old

 

but instead my own hidden sorrow
only motivates me more
to prove not to you
but to myself
that this heart so broke
is worth more than any of your wealth

 

oh so humorous
how the poor man
is more rich inside
than any god forsaken day
of your regretful life

 

and as days go by
i'll stand up not with a smile
but with a grin
because i'll take my life
over your worthless sins

 

starting to begin
seeing the sun rise with a new light
as my reasons to fight
have changed so readily

 

as the weight on my shoulder
heavily
slowly falls off
as my intentions now seem more
heavenly

 

and as these days that are now gone
that I've reached out to you
I don't regret, only feel thankful
that it's led me to this day that I choose
faith over gains
that release my pain
as I cherish my rewards on the other side
over the wicked prizes that come with this life
