lyrics

_________________________________
This Way

Stand here and call, call upon a new way to believe.
Through all this you find, you find you don’t know why, you cannot seem to leave.
No mirrors or walls are near enough to show, or hold you where you stand.
And still it seems right, you know no other way, a way so from planned.

Chorus
While Beautiful rhymes, you hear in your mind are keeping you here, awake and alive,
And the beautiful rhymes are all that you find that keep you here, keep you alive

It’s got to be this way

The night’s where you form, you form what you believe is something that is true.
The Spirits will tell tales that the time tends to hold for you.
