New Beginnings

Everyone is always in love with where they are

Well, they pretend to be but they wish they were a star

In life risks need to be taken or you'll stay at a standstill

Then there's people like me who never want to stand still

They just want to rise to the occasion no matter what

Shoot the doubters down, tell them to keep their mouths shut

Yeah we just want to be in the sky among the rest of those stars

But no it's not because of the nice house and fancy cars

It's more of a way for us to make sure we know that our life is ours

It was not wasted with days dying slowly while at night we waste away in bars

I'm only sixteen and I'm already looking at the bigger picture

But I've already seen life with distractions and downing bottles of liquor

Walking through the hallways, I remember all of the snickers

I remember all the girls I made send me those violating pictures

It's like I became a monster, infatuated by my greed and my lust

Time to turn away from that life, that's I should do, I must

It's like I want to live life to it's fullest, not just eat the cheese and leave the crust

And I'm sad to say to this day nobody has ever gained my full trust

I got light years ahead of me but time's just moving so fast

It's like my present is not my present it just feels like my past

Yesterday I was playing catch with my little brother now he's wearing a cast

The world is not a great place anymore it's just so messed up

People talk a lot and they don't know when to stop and the world is so corrupt

I remember one day someone cut me off but first said "I don't mean to interrupt"

I thought, " then why did you"  it's like I know you meant it just shut the f**k up

See I spent my life stargazing instead of finding ways to be in the sky with them

I guess this just means I need to learn how to live life once again
