Trying to find my way
By the light of our golden sun
So hard to even care
With a life thats just begun

Lost and trying to be found
Blinded, I'm trying to see
Living a life so hard
Sheltered from everything

Perserverance your motto
Dedication the key
Not knowing my sorrow
But trying so hard to see

Contimplating whats been said
Whats making no sense at all
Leaving whats real behind
'Cause I'm tired of the fall

My confidence is leaving
Leaving what I know
Knowing what is obvious
That I am alone

Chasing after memories
Footprints in the sand
Watching all the people
Walking hand in hand

Wishing I was one of them
To hold somebody close
This vision meant for someone else
In the land of dreaming souls

Better to die, and sleep
The never-waking sleep, than linger on
And dare to live when the souls life is gone.

Thank you both. I really appreciate it. It's a song I wrote about my previous girlfriend.

oh how I can relate to this one, especially the last two stanzas
