Grinding Gears
Everything can be going great. You're out on the town with freinds and you're following their car in front of you to the next destination. Suddenly, you're staring at the their fading taillights dissapear, you're in the center of a busy intersection and your car won't go into gear. Now the light has turned and everybody is waiting on you to go but all you can do is listen to the clutch grinding. Constantly worried, helpless, lost, and mostly dissapointed in yourself. Your mind races in empty circles looking for a grip to reality but you just sit and do nothing because all you can focus on is the spinning. That is what my adhd is to me.

High on her perch for all the world to see
All that's bright in the moonlit sky, / all things new and all things old / the golden sun and the silverlined stars

So late at night I wonder / of things that just wont be / sometimes I start to realize some people just don't see

The Crying Girl
A crying girl can kill ya / She'll rip your insides out, and keep them by her bed / A shelf of scars and lovestruck songs, torn to bits and shreds.

The Loving Lie
If the world fades into darkness who will hold my lonesome hand / Who will sweep me off my feet to swing and dance across the land / If the clouds fall down and the rain comes knocking upon my weathered door
