Birds
And I got all this power
Boiling up inside of me
And I can't help but scream
And scream and scream
And their's nothing good in this life no more
All anybody seems to do is let each other down
Let go of each other hands
Woman leave for another man
Children cry as their dads walk out the door
Buildings crash to the floor
And all the birds
Fly away
In a cloud
of blackened haze
From the field
They emancipate
From their rusted chains
I can't help but listen to their words
Listen to the politicians l speak about our corrupted world
But no body seems to do a things
Only complain about the things we can change
Shoutout about religion and color and preference and pain
Refusing to see that all humans are built the same
War surrounds our tiny towns
Poverty is the mayors name
They say that lack of education is the one to blame
But who's fault is that?
Our teachers didn't teach us well
We can't learn what we hasn't been taught
Except ethics and morals is somthing we should know
Somthing we learn from our own broken hearts
And all the birds
fly away
In a cloud
of blackened haze
From the field
They emancipate
From their rusted chains
I can't help but listen to their words
Listen to the politicians speak about our corrupted world
But no body seems to do a things
Only complain about the things we can change
Shoutout about religion and color and preference and pain
Refusing to see that all humans are built the same
Best Friend
She wasn't a high maintenance machine
Which was absolutely perfect for you
'Cause you sucked at returning phone calls
And making plans to get together
And half the time you totally forgot that there was an actual world out there
beyond your notepads and pencils
You took her for granted
And weren't always nice
And you had a tendency to think that you were better
But it was your heart that was covered in ice
She could have left you
Waved goodbye and vanished
But for some reason she stayed
Even after learning about your perpetual rain cloud
And all the little demons that
Lived inside
She stayed
Year after year she lived by your side
Cheering you on
Helping you stay hopeful and happy and alive
And after all the hours you two spent
It only occurred to you now
That she may have been
your very best friend
The Nightmares That You Gave Me
In my greatest time of need
You promised you would never leave
But you were the one who caused this
Now I’m just a carcass
An empty shell of a person
It’s beginning to worsen
And I can hardly breath.
1...2...3...
And I can hardly see.
1...2...3...
On the count of three.
1...2...3...
Cock! Pop! Blow!
And now I'm laying on the ground
Velvet blood spills all around
My head is pounding like a heartbeat
Why do I still have a heartbeat?
I should be up with the angels
What happened to my morals?
And now look at me.
4...5...6…
I must be really sick.
4...5...6…
When I count to six.
4...5...6…
Maybe you’ll walk in the door...
And this is all because of you
Must have had a guru
Drove me to this madness
It’s become your habit
Maybe now you’ll see
What you did to me
This is my nightmare.
But I’m not in my nightwear
Wish that I could wake up
This blood is only makeup
But I guess it’s too late
The wound looks far too ornate
7...8...9...10...
And now I’m lying dead...
7...8...9...10...
Thanks to a sickness in both our heads...
