From the Dust (feat. Redlake)

Happiness we find it in each other
We find it in the air
We find it in success stay
We find it in everything,but ourselves
Stay here with me
Especially when we need it most
Don't stay you have to go
You see when I was growing up
And though ties would hit
I would just,i would run away
Hope ran as fast as I could
No matter where i ran
Hold me softly
Leaving all of my problems behind me
And not realizing that nothing was
In front of me,i'm weaker than you know
The only thing that we ever need is hope
And it seems to be the hardest thing to find
So I went out searching for something
That I could have found in myself
Without knowing I needed to search within myself
And I lost me in the process
Trapped by these walls of the outside world
I needed something that I didn't have
Or that I didn't realize i had all along
I lost my way,i lost my mind,i lost my hope
I lost who I was and who I was meant to become
You see happiness doesn't always have to be hard
To find doesn't always have to be
Earned through pain
But I remember this emotion that it gave me
That one time i felt it
(Setting far too fast)
Back when I was eight years old hearing me mom
Yell my name listening to my dad cheering me on
Reminds me where I'm from and feeling my heart
Beat outside my chest because remembering this feeling
I needed to remind myself to breathe,breathe
I would get so worked up and I would forget who I was
And everything I worked so hard to become
Breathe it all in because these moments don't last long
One second your reminiscing next thing disappears
Before we know it's gone just trying to catch some rest
As you are tossing and turning because your mind is just going
A mile a minute,i've been losing sleep
It was the greatest feeling i can ever remember
But the memory wouldn't last long
Spinning all my thoughts around you
Because I would get in these arguments
With the voice inside my head
It seems you have my heart
It had me battling myself
Until one day I looked up
And decided to fight
And I'm not scared about it
You see we're constantly pushing away the positive times
To make room for our negative memories
As if remembering those times you're going to make
The future any brighter when in reality
The future is only as bright as we begin to make it
It is not based on our past it is based on our now
It is about taking the action to be happy
Now to be who you are now you spoke
This is all easier said than done
But making negative memories has never been hard
Spoke in spirt so maybe its that time to challenge yourself
And who you are about to become i heard it clear as day
Before one day you wake up
And you find yourself being someone
That you were never meant to become
A hope find that hope in loved ones
Find it deep down inside of you because it is there
Long abandoned don't think it will be at the surface
You will have to dig deep and search for it
Returning from the dust because hope
Has been in you all along you just lost it way back
When you thought that you needed to be someone else
I've been losing sleep so get your rest because you'll need it
And take your breaks along the way because there is no rush
Spinning all my thoughts around you so slow down
When you need to stop when you feel like you have to
It seems you have my heart and reach out
When you feel like you need strength
Because you are not alone and I'm not scared about it
