it took me all day to find my book. i need to write these in here in case something actually happens to it one day.
blech.
this once majestic house is falling apart
the windows, broken and boarded up
the walls that were once bright and colored
are now brown and dying piece by piece
the floors hold so many of our memories
retracing each one as i walk down the hall
my friend, you've come a long way
but i'm afraid our journey is over
it once was that a burning fire couldn't tear us apart
not for long though, because you're so far away
i'm wishing you the best of luck
and i'll see you at the show
the grass is dead and wilted, walking through the back yard
old toys still in the sandbox, where we once sat
going down the sidewalk, i hoped for the past
but as i reached the gate there was no turning back
the court still stands tall from those days
do you remember?
did you remember
me?
---
the bodies keep falling from the sky
into the crimson river where
the angles hang their heads to cry
shedding for the children who are scared
why is this happening
what have we done
why won't the darkness
leave us alone
what did they do to deserve this pain
that keeps them hiding all day
and fighting for their lives out in the rain
no matter what they say
it will never be okay
god stop the violence
end the suicide
stop this pain from coming
help me on the inside
the destruction of everything is so near
the gorvernment keeps crushing your dreams
they try to make the future so clear
the end is coming, so it seems
this reign of terror is coming down
and the enraged children are still screaming
but no one can hear the unlawful sound
the hearts are still bleading
but the bodies are leaving
---
your stares are etching scars into my mind
just please let me be, i'll be fine
i can't take away your opinions of my being
and i can't help your eyes from what they are seeing
i don't fit into your faux fashion trend
and i can't help the way my fingers bend
i won't give into your stamp
just leat me breathe
i want to be alone
i just want to be alone
let me out of your binding box
where no one has courtesy for knocks
my intentions will remain the same
i want to break free of this undying game
just look past my ripped up, faded jeans
and i will tell you that i don't know what hollister means
to you
---
save me
i think i'm fading
i think i've fallen off the edge
of reality
but what is reality
when everything is a nonconformity
and no one believes
that there is hope
but there is still hope
in my eyes
because i see the light
and it's still burning bright
so take my hand
and we'll find the way
to a new life
where we can walk all day
everything can fade to gray
it will still be okay
because we can paint it black
when we get our vision back
from the blinding bleach
of your thoughts
---
i look at your picture every day
and as each day grows old
you picture fades away
you're not coming back
to this vacated town
no, you're not coming back
because there is no one
around
i can see you right in front of me
but you can't look back at me
there's nothing inside of you
i'm non-existant to you
but i'm not giving up
i can see the pain
when i look into your eyes
my life will never be the same
without you behind me all the way
the dull pick can't save the pain
no, not today
and you can't help me
no, not today
---
hey, thanks for everything
you've given life to my eyes
and now you've fiven me the world
always ther eby my side
astray away from giving advice
i'd give it all to keep you forever
and a day
please, god, don't leave me
tell me taht you love your life
i'll give you my eyes just so you can see
that it would be impossible without the strife
just believe me
and sing to me again
i swear i'm doing my best
just like you did for so many years
you'd sacrifice yourself for our lives
i could never ask any more from you
please, just never leave my side
and i promise i'll buy you everything you could ever want
and more
i'd never do anything to hurt you
i just don't want you to feel pain
ever again, breathe for an eternity
just take my life, it's more than i deserve
you can have it forever, or just a while
i just want to see you smile
one last time
---
when the world doesn't want you
what do you do
your parents don't love you
it can't be true
these days are getting harder
but we'll make it through
we'll just keep fighting
through the black and blue
your life is a struggle
but you act okay
and you'll just keep lying
until the next day
we are the youth of tomorrow
we sing of sex and sorrow
from our broken homes
and the shattered bones
we are tomorrow
you keep fighting your freedom
in your locked up room
there's no way escaping
this third class doom
just stop shooting those bleak drugs
and wash off the blood stains
just go on outside
and scream insanity in the rain
break down the door
of your abuse and violence
and come save us from this
