These days are dark and the nights are cold

People acting like they lost their soul

And everywhere I go I see another person like me

Trying to make it all feel like home



[Mike:]

Standing on the bridge in teh dark and I'm seeing my breath

Trying to make it home without freezing to death

And my grandfather's face is

stuck in my mind mind and how 

Seeing him tonight's gonna be the last time I should've brought a jacket

Blowing in my hands like it's really gonna stop the chill

I buy a cup of coffee with a five dollar bill

thinking

Laying in that box people look so still

At times like these you start thinking

Your first breath in and the clock starts ticking

I'm not trying to bum anyone out

Not trying to be dramatic

just thinking out loud

I'm just trying to make some sense in my mind

Some defense from the cold that I'm feeling outside and for a minute

Escape with some rhythm and rhyme and

Get away from the grey

Just a bit at a time



[Ryu:]

Kinda funny how this world can treat you

Like a freak in a sideshow

a carnival creature

Climbing outta cans

I'm a diamond in the sand

But you cant tell the difference on a beach full of rhinestones

My life's like trying to swallow a pinecone

It's tough when you live fast

just to die slow

Talk to dial tones

my dreams are far-fetched

It seems

so I sleep underneath this park bench

I know it don't make sense

And I don't expect you to know what it's like

Smoke

drink

piss

sniffing everything in my sight

Push rocks in a pipe

Liftoff

I keep puffin 'til my lips turn white

And my chest gets tight

But who the fuck really cares

when you're

So far left behind that even death looks right

All I can do is hope for teh best and pray

That it gets a little better than yesterday



[Tak:]

Pardon me

I think I'm nect to url

Too many problems going on

that's why i left my girl

Packed my bags and traveled with a pen and a notepad

Pissed that i was broke and all the things that I dont have 

But still

I try toi find a way to escape

From all teh hate planted in my head which lead to mistakes

But now I'm breaking the mold

see I was patient and calm

Many sleep in the rain

but I'm awake in the storm

Writing my life in a short film

The Rise and Fall

How I managed to scorch hills

and climb the walls

Pound pavement

aimless in the cold existence

Even thought thangs are changing

I'm going the distance

Overcoming the doubt that had controlled for so long

And put it all behind me

'cause life still goes on

Now I'm much stronger and know where I stand 

While lost souls search over and over again



[Mike:]

These days are dark and the nights are cold

People acting like they lost their soul

And everybody's trying not to cry

trying to get by

And trying not to feel out of control

And if you look hard enough

Sometimes you'll find a place that might just remind you of home

But if it doesn't feel like home

You can do what I do

Just pretend you don't feel so alone
