Where Are You? Where you Find Me?

Where are you right now?

Are you where you want to be?
Where am I right now?

In this place, can you see me?

World of dichotomy

It's staring right at me

Falling down on top of me

But you don't even know my name

But you know me, because you know your truth

Daily seeking proof

Of legitimacy, are you authentic or spoof?

Stare right down into your soul

Where two halves try to be whole

And you're staring at yourself through mirror

That's never getting clearer

The cracks at the edges, bleed into the center

But it's all still coming together

Ask the questions of the answers your afraid to know

Afraid to go

Where your thoughts fall low

But those doubts fall wide of who you are

Building strength from scars

Reaching from dirt to stars

Just hum a few bars

Of your inner cadence

Your spirit's surveillance

You lost yourself from afar

On your personal radar

You'll stare at yourself

And I will see you there

In the cross hairs

Of all the possibilities

And destinies

If you could just believe

This is who you can be

Dig deep, pull through the torrent

Wrench your heart through these tears

It'll hurt for the moment

But you've been aching for years

All your trials build the sum

While the swinging pendulum

Add the clicks of who you are

To etch your name in the stars

And I'm there, in the silence

Between the break down and the chorus

Where indecision cripples you

From the things you always want to do

You weep for dreams unspoken

Falter like your knees are broken

And hurts too much to stand

While you're doing all you can

To keep your head above the tide

Fight so hard to stay alive

Just want to breathe and let it be

But all life comes with misery

Where are you right now?

Are you where you want to be?
Where am I right now?

In this place, can you see me?

Will you carve the path you've chosen

While your dreams are scared and frozen

You can be miserable and aching

In any path your taking

So if this life will bring you pain

Then let your fire give you the strain

Every path is full of thorns

You've known this since you were born

And there is no going home

It will feel so all alone

So grip that fire deep inside

Choose to stay alive

Fight for the soul to survive

Release the beast that's in your mind

You'll always be hungry, always sore

From the punches life has in store

But you'll ask for even more

If you take the path you swore

To that child years ago

The person that you know

That child was supposed to be

In the adult the mirror sees

So don't take the path in vain

Don't shy away from this pain

And know

That where you go

Is where you will be born again
