Remember The Name

Sometimes I want to ask you just what you see;
an ignorant kid who makes bad choices, or someone just trying to be what they want to be.
I always thought that it was better to follow your heart, and take pride in what you are,
and sometimes I wonder how close I have ever come to the stars.
There's a lot of time left ahead of us, a lot of destinations without names, or images,
and also a world full of hate, based on graphs, and percentages,
and I promised myself, and i'll promise you my name is something you won't forget,
There's a lot of dreams that i'm still finishing, and if you want i'll promise you, or better yet,
i'll tell you that i'll end up exactly where I want to be,
because I haven't lost hope in what's to come, or what is going to become of me.
Like i've said a million times before, we're just angels who have lost what we had stored;
all memory of heaven, all the moments we adored, countless times, and countless lies, and everything we swore.
We're still looking for the meaning that we hadn't always lacked, but once innocence is gone it's something that you can't have back.
Ignorance is just the act of not knowing, and there's no reason to be sorry for the things you didn't know you were supposed to pack.
Once again, I am sorry,
for those things I could never get back.
You can know for sure that i'm trying, though. Sometimes it's hard to see through the glass,
these display cases made out of something stronger then metal, something i'm not yet strong enough to break through.
I can tell you what though, i'm taking this back, i'm growing much stronger, i'm staying in class,
once I beat all these odds, reach the right point, i'm holding no prisoners, not until I get to you.
It seems like i've been trying oh, so hard now for oh, so long,
I'm still picking apart all these indifferences, all of the rights from the wrong.
I may be going the correct way, but with life as it is, a circle only circles, and the fastest way to anywhere is in a straight line.
It's just so damn confusing to me, the bystanders yelling out, everyone taking their time, all of the big, insignificant signs.
I wish there was something to show me what was really important, but I guess i'm just playing the role of my own god,
and i'm not too sure whether I should set my own standards, turn this world into my own, or call myself a fraud,
because there are too many people pretending to be everything they're not,
and that is something I wouldn't even want to start.
I'd hate to take the words from people older than I; their oldschool teachings,
and then i'll start a revolution, and much like jesus himself people will listen to my preachings,
I can say that with all honesty, because passing on wisdom is something i've never been afraid to do,
because I think with all that's going on my friends as well as enemies should be prepared, too.
We're all alone in this world, soldiers on a mission. That means we're all together though, sharing the same visions.
Recycling the information passed down by people that we're turning into, each year a few less decisions.
I'm starting to realize eventually all that we need will come to us with some respect for time,
letting it take as long as it needs, because I guess it's better then going through s**t, and that's life being kind,
and as we all take down our numbers, sit here waiting in line,
i'll tell you that i've learned every little thing is going to eventually be just fine.
