and a more positive perspective
but I am not making my wishes
come true to well these days
Maybe I am just paying some dues
or simply lost somewhere reflective
but life is far from auspicious
and a song of silence plays
I don't want to be depressing
and I still laugh a lot
even as I complain I still
appreciate what I've got
I don't want to be disappointed
I should not have expected more
accepting life as it is may be
what we are living for
Still a voice inside me scratches
at the corner of my heart
it tells me to raise my standards
and not settle in my art
It tells me to trust my instincts
and to reach for what is real
I may be wrong, but does it matter
if this is how I feel?
My feelings are as valid as yours
The world is hiding behind doors
Afraid to share love honestly
and I am not satisfied
So I will ask for more from you
and giving more is what I'll do
to my own self I shall be true
until the day I die
that is how I get high
So I wish I had more positive news
and a more positive perspective
but I am not making my wishes
come true to well these days
Maybe I am just paying some dues
or simply lost somewhere reflective
but life is far from auspicious
and a song of silence plays
Still I will not give up on me or you
no matter what anyone says
I will not give up on love that's true
and making better days
We will make better days
