An Evening with Eric Festa

We should just be happy with who we are.........? Full lyrics below

I used to think i had it all figured out - My wit getting quicker my skin growing thicker - I used to believe i was invincible - but my walls kept on falling my god kept on calling - i kept the good close I was done with the rest of them and you better believe that i hung with the best of them - I kept my head high i did all that i could to be better each day - no there was no other way
And i always knew that i had voices inside they were screaming for something seems they always wanted something else and when i was in doubt i went along for the ride - never searching for anything - always felt like i had everything....
But we all want something yeah - but will we let it in - yeah we all want something yeah but will we let it in.
I used to wonder where i fit in but i'd fight through the pain and i would do it again - I used to believe that i wasn't good enough - a joke in its own right cause I'm fucking dynamite - kept my head high i did all that could to be better everyday - there was no other way and i always knew i had voices inside and they were screaming for something - seems they always wanted something else
But we all want something yeah..... but will we let it in - yeah we all want something yeah but will we let it in.....
So keep the good close and be done with the rest of them pretty much done it all kid you've hung with the best of them - hold your head high you've given all that you can - when the end comes a creeping just know that you were a man - and tell me how does it feel when you have voices inside they're all screaming for something yeah we all want something else and how will you feel when your done with your ride will you still be searching for something or will you be satisfied -
But we all want something yeah..........but will we let it in....... Yeah we all want something yeah..... but will we let it in

Full lyrics 

I used to be a prince - at least it's written in my name - a pauper with a grin - but long gone is that shame - i used to be someone - but now it's gone to hell - I'm withering away - same grin is painted thin - i search for something new - i wish for everything -And i had everything - but without you there's something missing - did you read my verse - did you hear my crying words - did they mean anything at all - will you meet me for one last call- 

Once upon a time - in world that  once knew - when i was in my prime - and everything was you - i kept my end of the deal - but i couldn't keep up with you - Does it matter how i feel? - Never thought this'd get so real - did you read my verse or were you busy living in doubt - so subtly you missed - what it was all about 

So many words we said to one another....... can't take them back we're way too broken - I'd like to think we came a long way since then - just got this bath of blood to soak in yeah.........

I used to be a prince - at least it's written in my name - you used to be convinced - exactly of the same - i used to be someone - but now it's gone to hell - my soul is hanging low - my smile is not so well - oh baby I'm still here - open your eyes I'm right in front of you - did you read my verse - or were you busy being you - I wish you'd read my verse - laid it all on the line - not much more to say - can't keep what isn't mine

So many words we said to one another....... can't take them back we're way too broken - I'd like to think we came a long way since then - just got this bath of blood to soak in yeah.........

Baby did you read my verse - cause i opened up my wounds - i put it all in front of you - Smile will be ending soon - I used to be a prince - at least it's written in my name - you used to be convinced - exactly of the same.

Did you read my verse

Just making my way through purgatory
I've been asked to put up the lyrics for this one - Enjoy.... 

Don't think I'm gonna wake up - so babe you shouldn't stay. This bedside's seen its better days and all I know - is in the distance - I can see a burning light and i reach out for the embers - and to the warmth i hold on tight 
And I'll be on my way....... Follow the voices down the pathway - aching hearts are all abound - And my feet barely touch the ground
I'm floating on a wind....... That takes me to the in between - where my soul will ever last - there ain't no coming back from this....

Don't think i should have said no - when he reached out for my hand - i should have followed his demands - cause all i know - is I'm forever drowning - in a pool of gasoline - with the embers all around me - the imps and clowns all at my feet -
I guess I'm on my way........ - I'm chasing Angels in the distance - aching souls are all abound - and my feet barely touch the ground
I'm floating on a wind......... - that takes me to the in between - where my soul will ever last - there ain't no coming back from this

I'm no one in this wasteland - the thing that I've become - feels like the corpse you're looking down on and all i know - is in the distance - i can see a burning light - and i fight off all the embers - woman i fight to see the light 
I guess I'm on my way...... I'm just not sure where I'm going - the ashen breeze keeps on blowing - and my feet barely touch the ground 
I'm floating on a wind..... - it pushes 
 through the in between - where my soul will ever last - there ain't no coming back from this

Don't think I'm gonna wake up - so babe you shouldn't stay - this bedside's seen its better days

“The Embers”

Out of Words

The Show........

As I get older -  try to stay sober - just long enough to realize it ain't over but it's getting colder - my knees getting weaker - I'm learning to stand all over again.
Seems that I've gone through - so many changes - what's left to conquer - am i getting so bored that i can't concentrate on the main goal - which nowadays is completely blurred
So leave me be with bottles and cans just let me reflect on the strange man that i am - we feel the conjecture in our tones - we're avoiding what we already know - If you look deeper beneath the layers of film in my eyes as they thicken every time i sip a sorrow away - it get's harder each day - putting on the show
My eyes will stay focused mainly on the next task – just as long as up my sleeve I find my flask – and while I’m submerged in all these urges and it’s hard to remember just where I am.
Still I’m remiss to ask you just what I was saying cause that’s all my mind will allow me to handle at this time I’m fading slowly degrading – I fell off earth long ago  –So leave me be with bottles and cans just let me reflect on the strange man that  i am - we feel the conjecture in our tones - we're avoiding what we already know - If you look deeper beneath the layers of film in my eyes as they thicken every time i sip a sorrow away - it get's harder each day - putting on the show
Please breathe your light into my aura its black and it’s purple – it’s out of control the colors are scattered and all that has mattered through all these years has already been
taken away in the blink of just one eye – don’t be judging - the colors keep smudging – and you keep begrudging me cause I’m fading – it’s not understated when you say I’m a mess.
So leave me be with bottles and cans just let me reflect on the strange man that i am - we feel the conjecture in our tones - we're avoiding what we already know - If you look deeper beneath the layers of film in my eyes as they thicken every time i sip a sorrow away - it get's harder each day - putting on the show

“The Show”

So close but yet so far - we're reaching for a star - it's at our fingertips - we ignore who we really are - the truth is in my eyes - but you never look my way - you're so pre-occupied - going on with your day - I'm peeking in your room to see if you're awake - please don't make pretend - oh how my body aches - you're reaching for your phone - it's not me on the other end - does he really make you smile - can he give you everything
got so much time for him - time to throw away - wish you'd make him your past and spend some time today - cause baby we got time - time to see this through - if you've got time for me - then i got time for you
When did this go wrong - the two of us to blame - can you sleep at night - or do you feel ashamed - cause i know that I'm ashamed with all this fight in me - i still procrastinate - precious time is fleeting - if you just pick up your head - take one look at my face - it'll all come back to you - you let me take my place - so i sit and watch you sleep - cause i'd like to spend some time - oh how my body weeps - can't have what isn't mine
Chorus
We're bent but we're no broken - we're tired but we're awake - exchange cautionary glances - at what point will we break - i need some of your time - i miss you terribly - I'm in the other room - come and spend some time with me
chorus

20 years in the making

Time

Right now I feel I’m dying – While trapped inside my mind and – I’m going crazy thinking I should reassess my life and figure out a way to make you whole
Right now you feel you’re dying – you’re quota’s up on crying – you’re going crazy thinking you should reassess your life and figure out a way to let me go 
This is not the way that it's supposed to go                             
Chorus:
     With all the clouds that we’ve encountered we're still drinking from this fountain – I don’t know about you girl, but I’ve been feeling kind of weary, you agree it’s pretty scary when the world comes to a halt, And you agree not my fault but we keep searching for an answer –  while I’m running round in circles –making your day dizzy, stand on solid ground and let me hold on cause I’m falling off the earth – It’s always such a difficult experience when I look into your eyes and see you’re hurt.
Opposite directions no longer we’re infectious – but I’ll bet a million dollars I still can’t hide my erection – I intend to find a way to make you glow
You’re thinking this ain’t your issue but babe just let me kiss you and maybe for a minute you could put aside that tissue and let me in cause I’m all you know
This is not the way that it's supposed to go - Yeah 
 With all the clouds that we’ve encountered we're still drinking from this fountain – I don’t know about you girl, but I’ve been feeling kind of weary, you agree it’s pretty scary when the world comes to a halt, And you agree not my fault but we keep searching for an answer –  while I’m running round in circles –making your day dizzy, stand on solid ground and let me hold on cause I’m falling off the earth – It’s always such a difficult experience when I look into your eyes and see you’re hurt.
It's always such a difficult experience when i look into your eyes and know you're hurt
