Goodbye

Where Have I Been?

10.) Goodbye

I've watched the world,

Pass me by.

I've paid my dues,

I've done my time.

But still I'm left hanging here,

Waiting for your last goodbye.

Have I been wasting away?

Have I lost all my time?

Am I just a failure who doesn't see,

The truth inside your eyes.

All this time I've been waiting,

For your final goodbye.

God I've let myself,

Become something I didn't want to be.

I've heald such hope,

But no change has come to me.

Now after all I've lost.

I'm left empty handed.

Have I been wasting away?

Have I lost all my time?

Am I just a failure who doesn't see,

The truth inside your eyes.

All this time I've been waiting,

For your final goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Where Have I Been?

Where Have I Been?

9.) Where Have I Been?

I've seen things as they are.

I've made my own mistakes.

I've lived my life deprived.

Of hope and simple dreams.

When things don't make sense,

I look to you.

I search for a reason why,

My nightmares come true.

What do you have to prove?

You've won, I live for you.

Keep moving on,

Find a place where you belong.

Keep moving on,

Take a chance and prove them wrong.

It seems like time is passing me by.

Like everything I do falls apart.

No matter what I try.

When will I wake from this nightmare?

And seperate myself from whats unfair.

Keep moving on,

Find a place where you belong.

Keep moving on,

Take a chance and prove them wrong.

Where have I been?

What have I done?

Did I lose my way?

Was I always wrong?

I feel it's time, to break out of my shell.

Open up, open up and see the truth.

Realize what you have to lose.

Keep moving on,

Find a place where you belong.

Keep moving on,

Take a chance and prove them wrong.

Prove them wrong....

Close your eyes, let go of regret.

Break all ties, and never forget.

This Path

Where Have I Been?

8.) This Path

I've walked this path alone,

For too long.

Losing my sights on life,

For too long.

But still I try to understand,

Why I've wasted my time...as a lonely man.

Walk down this path with me.

Discover who I'm meant to be.

Maybe in time you'll see,

That anythings possible,

If you live to be free.

All my life,

I've tried to find my place.

Losing sights,

On all I've had to gain.

Still I remain,

At the breaking point of my mistakes.

Walk down this path with me.

Discover who I'm meant to be.

Maybe in time you'll see,

That anythings possible,

If you live to be free.

Walk down this path, and live free.

I'm Such A Pessimist

Where Have I Been?

7.) I'm Such A Pessmist

Today I woke up,

Feeling like nothing mattered.

Like the world I've known,

Began moving faster.

Its beyond me now.

And I don't see an end.

Its changed me,

From who I was to who I am.

Sometimes I don't feel like trying.

I don't think I can change.

This person I've created inside me.

Still remains the same.

One day I woke up feeling,

Like the world was against me.

Like I'd given up all hope,

On the person I knew I should be.

And all the dreams I'd drempt,

Were wasting away.

And the life I should've lived,

I spent losing my way.

The world thinks they know,

Who I've become.

The world thinks they know,

All that I've done.

The truth is,

They don't know me at all.

Everyone see's me,

For who I am not.

But no one understands me,

For what I have lost.

All the dreams I've drempt,

Have wasted away.

All my life I've lived,

Trapped inside my mistakes.

Disappointment.

Disappointment.

Disappointment.

Disappointment,

Is all I've ever known.

Lacking Inspiration

Where Have I Been?

6.) Lacking Inspiration

These words won't surface,

Somethings holding them down.

I can't find the words,

To express what I've found.

A lack of something has stopped me,

From finding whats inside of me.

But no longer will I hold it in,

These words must come out,

My inspiration must give in.

Will everything be alright?

When my voice decides to leave tonight.

Or have the days I've come to know,

Left me with no voice to show.

Now I'm in need of some inspiration.

Who knew I could find,

What I'd been longing to hear.

But the words escaped from my lips,

Quicker than they appeared.

Thats the day I turned around.

Will everything be alright?

When my voice decides to leave tonight.

Or have the days I've come to know,

Left me with no voice to show.

Now I'm in need of some inspiration.

Somtimes, the words are hard to find.

And I can't find my way out.

The days seem to go on and on.

Can I find a solution sometime?

Or is there no answer, no truth?

No way back to you.

I've been roaming here for days.

Waiting for a sign, or escape.

I'm waiting for a sign or sensation.

Too long have I been Lacking Inspiration.

Will everything be alright?

When my voice decides to leave tonight.

Or have the days I've come to know,

Left me with no voice to show.......

Designs

Where Have I Been?

5.) Designs

We are all...

We are all...

Painting pictures,

Of regret.

Painting pictures,

Of regret.

Do we see,

What time we've spent?

Hiding behind the walls,

Walls of regret.

I am sick of the way.

I've lived my life.

But soon I'll find a place,

Much better for me.

All the times I've lived,

Mean nothing.

But I will fight,

For my last breath on this earth.

This pain will be heard.

We are all...

We are all...

We are all...designs.

Seen It All Before

Where Have I Been?

4.) Seen It All Before

I've seen it all before.

The way you move on,

Not understanding.

What you have lost,

There's no comprehending.

What it really meant,

To watch it slip away.

There's so much remorse,

You hold day to day.

Until you can't breathe anymore.

Until you can't breathe anymore.

Why, must these nights slip away?

Where have they gone?

Where have they been?

I can't bare, letting them slip away.

Thats a pain I won't bare again.

We've seen it all before.

We've seen it all before.

There's something in your eyes.

That brings me new life.

I pray our time won't die.

But that was then,

And this is now.

Why, must these nights slip away?

Where have they gone?

Where have they been?

I can't bare, letting them slip away.

Thats a pain I won't bare again.

We've seen it all before.

We've seen it all before.

But now its over.

The days are gone.

The pain has ceased,

To live on.

Now I've broken ties,

Broken ties with you.

Wasting Away

Where Have I Been?

3.) Wasting Away

Why, you coward?

How could you take this from me?

Your a monster,

A deciever,

A trickster of ways.

Who doesn't see,

Through the guilt,

Or the shame.

Why did you do this?

Why did you do this?

To me.

Everything I knew,

Was draining like an hourglass.

Lost in time,

Trapped, repeating the past.

Does it ever seem to catch up to you?

Does it ever seem to catch up to you?

What have you done?

What have you done?

All that I knew was wasting away.

All that I knew was wasting away.

You'll find me here,

In the darkest of times.

Lost in the life I'm living,

I'm wasting away tonight.

Why, you parasite?

You dealer of lies.

Why must you bring me here,

In the darkest of times.

Am I just a fool?

Am I just a fool,

A fool to you?

You'll find me here,

In the darkest of times.

Lost in the life I'm living,

I'm wasting away tonight.

Tonight!

What's Said, What's Better Left Unsaid

Where Have I Been?

2.) What's Said, What's Better Left Unsaid

Where were you?

Where were you?

When I needed you most.

Where did they go?

The dreams I used to know.

Has the world I've cherished,

Begun to perish?

At the sound of your voice.

The sound of your voice.

"What do you care?"

"What do you care?"

The words still ringing in my ears.

With the worst of words.

You left me here.

To drown alone,

In my own fear.

Now I'm gone.

Standing in shame,

Shame of my mistake.

I didn't know,

I could hate you so much.

Its a sad thing,

To think that of your own blood.

But you left me with no choice.

With no choice.

"What do you care?"

"What do you care?"

The words still ringing in my ears.

With the worst of words,

You left me here.

To drown alone,

In my own fear.

Now I'm gone.

I wrote my dreams on paper,

To watch you tear it up.

Burn another page.

And throw it away.

Burn another page.

And throw it all away.

I Will Be Heard

Where Have I Been?

1.) I Will Be Heard

Where should I begin?

What have I been doing?

Where have I been?

So much time I've wasted,

Will it see an end?

The days of being ignored,

Have begun pushing forward.

No longer can I stand for this,

I will be heard.

I live in a world, cast aside.

Trying to find my place, in this life.

Too long have the little things,

Been picking me apart.

I wonder if I'll ever find,

Whats hiding in my heart.

Maybe then will I see,

What I've made myself to be.

I live in a world, cast aside.

Trying to find my place, in this life.

So long have I been,

So misunderstood.

No I won't be the one,

To stand for this.

I've done all I can,

I've done all I could.

But I haven't recieved,

Anything in return.

What have I been doing?

Where have I been?

Will I ever be, a better man?

I live in a world, cast aside.

Trying to find my place, in this life.

But tonight, I will be heard.

I Will Be Heard.

I Will Be Heard.

I Will Be Heard.

Introduction (Where Have I Been?)

It feels like ages since the last time I posted anything on here! In the time I've been away, I had a great dilemma! I had totally lost my voice, I wasn't able to write anything. It was a real problem for me, and for the first time I thought I couldn't write again. Then one day while listening to some music I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time. I felt the need to write, I sat at my desk and pulled out some paper, and finally wrote a song. To this day I am very proud of that song. It is called, "Wasting Away." And it became the foundation for a new album. I kept writing, and writing and I was very proud that I managed to find my voice again. For this album I had to ask myself a question...and that question developed into the title for this album. Its called, "Where Have I Been?" I am very proud of what I've accomplished with this material. I hope that you will enjoy it the same! Here is the first song off this new album! Enjoy!
