| as
i watched the sun fade. brought strength to conquer, to
conquer a new day. the rain washed away all the fears. of
what's to come in pressing years. filled with all your
pride. filled with all your lies. i have been denied.
i'll rebuild and strive to shine. <unlearn, my will
broken. regress, no words spoken. decline, into
submission. broken, chose not to listen.> these
restrictions are paper thin. these walls are built
within. i don't believe i've lost my will. tomorrows
foundations are too unstable to build. don't interpret my
dreams. hidden beneath broken wings. for all the times
i've been denied. i'll rebuild and strive to shine. these
sins are washed away. your biting words that held me
back. will be ignored. i'll be restored. (fading) your
comfort lies in tearing down. all my self truths, i'll be
renewed. (building) fading...building...finding
truth...rising. these words that couldn't be. of dreams,
of dreams. these sins that couldn't be. of dreams, of
dreams. touched by fire. these words that could be. of
dreams that strengthen me. your words that cut through
me. will be succeeded by my will to love. touched by fire. |

lyrics
by eli. |
| The title was taken from a book of
poetry (the name of the author escapes me, however) and
in life, at times it seems, my single worst enemy is
criticism. Negativity is like the fucking plague, it
eludes hope like a ghost. I wrote these words at a time
in my life where everything I had done (be it art,
skateboarding or music) or experienced was placed on the
altar of criticism and these words were my only savior
from the negativity I was feeling. I was amazed one day
when Chad, a long time friend of mine struck up a
conversation on the bus and this lady had completely torn
down his lifelong dream of being a train conductor. This
made me question why some one who Chad has never met or
offended would take pride in literally tearing holes in
his dream just because it didn't suit her tastes. It
seems as though society has a negative effect on our
goals by trying to limit our "childish" dreams
from our so called "appropriate ones".
Life is what we make of it and what we pour into it and I
refuse to believe anyone can make me deny whichever path
I choose, or me to restrict anyone else's. -Eli |
