Well, it looks like we're going again
Beating dead horses until nothing remains
So I'm taking control and redefining "my best"
To shooting for the stars and enduring the pains
Don't you see, don't you see, the best of me
Right in front of you above the memories
I'll show you, I'll show you, everything
Because where we're going, the rails obey me
So believe that the world doesn't spin so quickly
And succeed the darkest of dreams in ebony
See me; the storm, winds, cogs, full-on machine
Because I am
I am
I am the best of me!
Listen to the stars but guide yourself, because you
Never know what could happen next, so shine anyways
Open your eyes and set fire to the brighter skies
Because your great future is a product of today
So weld together the pieces of your shattered conscience
Don't you dare let it cave in; drown out all your sorrows
You should know that what we have can't be long term
But what we'll create out of the dust shapes all of tomorrow
So believe that the world doesn't spin so quickly
And succeed the darkest of dreams in ebony
See me; the storm, winds, cogs, full-on machine
Because I am
I am
I am the best of me!
You are so young, and you are so free
But you're aimless, and I can't help but see
That you don't know what you really need
"Are we there yet, are we there yet?"
Take me above your light, carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight, sing me to sleep tonight
Because this Fool's Gold won't deceive
The light inside of me
And I think we know by now
We've got to show somehow
That what we had in the past still lasts
And was worth it from the start!
But now it shows, and you can see
That I'd turn back eventually
We can just pretend
'Cause we have something that should never end
And we both know that we can be
The one we want, the one we need
And we can just pretend
Another story with another end!
Another lifetime, another photograph
Another memory that leads us down another path
Another nighttime, another life to spend
Another story with another end!
Another lifetime, another photograph
'Cause what you've got is gold; I know, you're gold
I'll see you in the future when we're older
I'm not the one you need, but I'll be there to guide you
Another memory that leads us down another path
I don't need the stars in the night; I've found my treasure
And we are full of stories to be told
I'll show the world to you and everything I've been through
Another nighttime, another life to spend
All I need is you by my side, so shine forever
Cross my heart and hope to die
A broken mind, a battered song, a spark of magic won't keep you strong
...Another end!
Oh, I know, you're gold!
I'll see you with your laughter lines!
But maybe it's been in you all along!
The world is turning, and I feel like I'm burning
A fire inside me greater than ever before
I'm fending off my nightmares with my optimism
A courage inside me greater than ever before
I am a machine, rage on the cogs
A wiring inside me greater than ever before
The best of me, the best of me
I am so much greater than ever before
Yes, I am
I am
I am the best of me!
It came down like a Tidal Wave...
When the lights go out in the middle of the night, where will I run to...
Your albatross, let it go, let it go...
Oh, it's about time... it's about time!
Doing what we should have done so long ago, so let your freedom show
We can just pretend another story with another end!
Are we there yet?
Thanks for reading my birthday poem!
(I used like a ton of song lyrics in this one. See if you can name all the songs!)
