God Only Knows

((Inspired by late night music. This is not about a romantic relationship.))

GOD ONLY KNOWS

it's a long night

holding onto light blending with the morning
don't want to close my eyes
don't want the dark to pull me in too far

I've come too far to come so close
to something God only knows
running circles through trees of lies
how much do I... really know
how much do I know?

if I bite my tongue
will I save myself or run out of air?
if I lose a lung
does it even matter, will I even care?

I've come too far to come so close

to something God only knows

running circles through trees of lies

how much do I... really know

how much do I know?

ooh no, I won't give up the fight

what is there to lose?

ooh I, can't pretend it's alright

so don't act like you've got no clue

don't want to close my eyes

don't want the dark to pull me in too far

I've come too far to come so close

to something God only knows

...

how much do I know?

how much am I ready to know?

Always, Lainey

Life As I Know It

Life As I Know It

There comes a moment in our lives when we stop in mid-step and take a look at where we are. Although we haven't quite paid particular attention to the details that led us here, we have arrived at a place where we're meant to be; whether we realize it or not it adds to the volumes of stories, memories, and things in life that money can't buy.  I am eternally grateful to have the family and friends I have.  Just because I don't exactly know where I'm going from here does not mean I'm lost.  No one really knows.  With that, I have peace of mind while enjoying this moment in life that was meant to be noticed.   :)

...life as I know it...

(yet another song for self-therapy)

walk on the edge, along the silver lining
you never closed your eyes
you looked down against the warnings
and for that grew bigger in size


perspectives never looked so rich 
if only we knew this a million years ago
walking uphill, against the current
learning things they'll never know


life as i know it is only mine
no matter what happens
i control my mind
life as i know it is full of hope
and through disappointments
i know there's still hope
life as i know it revolves around love
passion, adventure, faith, and peace
it's the things we're all made of


carefree of the opinions of the onlookers
when nothing is even worth 2 cents
when nothing they say even makes sense


leave our comfort zones
make a stranger smile
do little things 
 fight for green peace
surprise yourself
take advice from someone else


life as i know it is full of hope
and through disappointments
i know, there's still hope


walk on the edge, of the silver lining
and you'll never get left behind
you'll be
right where you're supposed to be
