27/M/Chicago When the pen runs out of ink get a new one.
Take the chance they don't today May be risky who's to say The stars above Blindly stepping off the cliff Move too quick while they're all stiff Fool for love Look around as they despise Mocking stares at the one who cries Away you shove Take a lesson from the fool The hero others cannot rule Fly like a dove -AJT

The Fool's A Hero
My arm is called the epic list Displaying the anthems of my life One by one I've lived these moments Heard the music loud and clear These melodies will forever live In the basement of my brain Falling into the depth of my mind I dig it up with my hand Revealing the traffic I'm addicted to the melancholy No matter where I travel We all carry a bag I've lived these moments Heard the music loud and clear These melodies will forever live In the basement of my brain -AJT

Basement of My Brain
While I'm awake I see the world As twisted as it is My thoughts wander Time zones away How are you? I'm thankful to live Breathe in the air Take in the love We're far away But I love you So I sit and pray I pray for your happiness While I may not be it And I pray for your safety While my shelter is vacant To love you true Is to pray for you Since I can't have you now Thats what I'll do -AJT

Prayers
You look like you could use a drink Heavy pour of whiskey as you sit down and think Seems your mind is on the brink While all the other ships around you sink High tides and heavy goodbyes I can see the emptiness in your eyes Stick around longer, we can all get high Our minds are destined for the sky Familiar faces now enter the space You forget why you were in such a dark place Add a splash from the tap just in case Makes it all easier to chase The window is open so don't sit around The breeze will help push you when your ships run aground The laughter in the air is an uplifting sound Seems what you're searching for has finally been found -AJT

Window or the Whiskey
I thought I knew you but I guess I was wrong And all the kind words you had were just lies all along I burned the bridge because I got carried away I wish you didn't exist in my mind that way -AJT

Burning Bridges
Look in the mirror and see what I do A beautiful woman, and that woman is you Conquering the obstacles life puts in your way You pick yourself up when the worlds in disarray The first few days are the hardest days I've learned this fact in a number of ways But I see you walking with such great pride So why are you worried, put those concerns aside And one day, again, you'll be riding high So ignore all the bad things that keep passing by ‪Just stay level headed, focus on your dream‬ Things will come around, they ain’t as crazy as they seem And you will find in a moments time That you will be stronger and that you will shine -AJT

You Will Shine
Every day I think of this How we forget and find true bliss Some may think this is all a joke But I laugh and take another **** Find yourself alone at last Everything around us moves too fast Stuck in a daze but its alright Don't mind being the one out of sight -AJT

Out of Sight
For so long I've been sheltered Trapped behind this wall How can I be anything If you never let me fall Do I like being here? No, not at all My spirits died within me And all I can do is crawl -AJT

Chained
Paranoid Everybody around me Plotting Why I’m a fool I give too much They know It’s easy for them And my pain shows I need to escape Where Another realm I’m in a prison Cold Forsaken Disguised freedom Amidst the chaos One true hope Lost? I’ll soon find out Satan in disguise? I laugh Can’t be I believe That must be false Am I still a fool? Love blinds Addictive drug But the high wore off I awoke and saw you Still there Night eyes lure me in The fire burns Passion Warmth A home Come back Where are you? Gone with the wind It’s cold again And I’m so sorry I must hide away And wait But I miss you Lover -AJT
