 From the darkest lows,
 To the heavenly highs,
 Another dream let go,
 On every  mantelpiece.
 If you had your life,
 To live over again,
 Would you do it in style?
 Or make those same  mistakes?
 If  I keep folding there will be  nothing left of me,
 But  shapeless shoulders and this cold,  dead smile,
 
These  days  are better written off than written down.
 Will you live your life,
 Through a blossoming  child?
 Or will you sail the seas,
 Of self-discovery?
 Does if make you smile,
 When you think of the ride?
 Or do you get tired,
 Burning Oxygen
 If  I keep folding there will be  nothing left of me,
 But  shapeless shoulders and this cold,  dead smile,
 
These  days  are  better  written off than written down.
 All the wasted days,
 And the promises  made,
 Could put the fear of God
 In any one  of us.
 Resolutions seep,
 Through the soles of your feet
 So find a goal you can reach
 Ever the optimist.
 If  I keep folding there will be  nothing left of me,
 But  shapeless shoulders and this cold,  dead smile,
 
These  days  are  better  written off than written down.
