"What We Believe In"
January 6th, 2004
 
The cd ran out and I was
Just thinking in complete silence
It was a bit comforting in a way
Like a hectic life stopped
For just a few short minutes
Something has got to change
 
We cannot carry on letting
Things stay the way they are
Confusing us on what comes next
The circle making another completion
I dare to try and interfere spinning off
Into my own unique direction
 
Though things will seem the same
If we continue to look at it that way
Everything becomes new everyday
I will one day look back on this
Happy I did what I had to do to ensure
I realized just how lucky I am to be alive
 
Some do not get this chance
Some may not even realize it
Today, I move forward in life
Not letting anything stand in my way
Going for my dreams and my heart
Let's follow what we believe in
 
For you and for me, we roll on
Knowing what we have to do
Feeling the uniqueness inside
Take the time to sit in the dark
No noise for miles and miles
Learn what is best for you
 

"Creator"
January 7th, 2004
 
Though I do not believe
In any of your gods
I do believe in right and wrong
Self destructing became our destiny
How we got this far
I'll never understand
Keep in mind that nothing
Is ever for sure or predicted
 
Take a look around at all this bullshit
We've created through our greediness
We've created through our vengeance
 
Stand up, look at him next to you
He's the only one who might ever care
Take a look back, her behind you
She may be the only one you can trust
 
Moving through the acid streets
Bringing my head above the water
Thinking back to years ago
When everything was so chaotic
Looking back ahead of me
Everything seems out of control
Where can I turn to feel something real
So deep it brings my body numb with fear
 
Take a look around at all this bullshit
We've created through our selfishness
We've created through our carelessness
 
Stand up, look at him next to you
He's the only one who might ever care
Take a look back, her behind you
She may be the only one you can trust
 
I'll keep searching til I find the net
The place where everthing matters
To be cared by the neglected
