David Beretta Owens - Everything Else Lyrics

I would sacrifice my last true wish
If I thought it would make a difference
I would rather fail the final test
Than never ever try at all
I would rather spend my time alone
Than somewhere I feel I can't grow
I know it's me; I know it's my choices
And the voiceless loose once more

I cannot give that which isn't mine to give
And I cannot live a life that is not mine to live

Now I've been given everything I have ever needed
Yet still a hunger burns in me and I intend to feed it
What wonderful existence here
The sun as bright as the air is clear
The dawning of a new time
Don't try listen, just feel it
Because we are so near to it here

I cannot give that which is not mine to give
I cannot live a life that is not mine to live
With the order of things
And the promise each new day may bring
This time I find the real treasure hides within the mind
And that each time I try it less is left behind

Like nothing before, and never again, but always inside
