These Days

THESE DAYS

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON 

2017

IN THE DAYS THAT ARE COMING 

APPREHENSION WAIT AND SEE

NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE

IT'S A MYSTERY

BUT MOST HOPES ARE HIGH 

DOUBTS WILL BE

DAYS AND NIGHTS OF UNCERTAINTY

FORCED BY THE WILL OF FATE

YOU DON'T SEEM CONCERNED 

AS THE WORLD SLOWLY BURNS AROUND YOU 

JUST LIKE I FOUND YOU 

YOU CAN BE SO NONCHALANT

IF YOU WANT

BUT WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO

IF YOU NEED TO

HOLD ONTO THE END

THERE'S A NEW BEGINNING THERE

DO YOU FEEL IT

CAN YOU SEE IT

ARE YOU GOING SOMEWHERE 

OR WILL YOU STAY RIGHT HERE IN YOUR SANCTUARY

EVERYTHING YOU KNOW SURROUNDS YOU

ALL YOU SURRENDER IS ILLUSION

IT GETS LOST IN THE CONFUSION 

ARE YOU CERTAIN THAT'S THE WAY

YOU WANT TO PLAY THIS

WILL THAT MAKE YOU FREE

MAKE IT ALL SO NAMELESS

CLAIM IT'S BLAMELESS AND CARRY ON

THESE DAYS SWALLOWED BY TIME

NO WAITING IN A LINE

THESE DAYS OF UNCERTAINTY 

BLINDLY HELD TOGETHER BY FAITH 

HEAVEN NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD 

IF I COULD HELP YOU SEE

I'D TELL HOW IT IS

NOT LIKE YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE

IF THE WORLD SHOULD COME

 CRASHING DOWN AROUND YOU 

WOULD YOU STARE OFF

 THOUGH IT WAS A DREAM

 YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SEE

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT WAS ME

THESE DAYS CROWD AROUND YOU

BEND YOU SHAPE YOU

MAKE OR BREAK YOU

YOU DECIDE

ARE YOU GONNA LET IT SLIDE

THE POSTURING TO GET IN LINE

IS SO TAXING AT ANY GIVEN TIME

BEFORE YOU LOSE YOURSELF 

IN THE COMING DAWN

IT'S TIME MOVING ON

AM I SEEING A DIFFERENT  YOU 

AFTER ALL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH

DO YOU SEE THE CHANGES COMING

CAN YOU FEEL THE CHILL IN THE AIR

THE DARKNESS CLOSING IN AROUND YOU

THESE DAYS HAVE COME AND GONE 

NEVER TO RETURN

FORTUNES TOLD AND FUTURE SEEN

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN
