25/F/Indiana the pain
I can’t hear your words anymore Raining on deaf ears Refraining from saying Things that should be screamed Insights inside your mind So far away from modern day times Removed are such lines While I formulate an equation And step out of the light Hopefully it will turn out

That’s the thing about digging holes You don’t know how deep you’ve dug Until you’re staring at the stars so far away

Dig
I’ve gotta find a way To forget about the words They fell out of your mouth Now I’m shouting out You’re so wrong about me When you’re sipping your tea You think you’re so much better You can’t predict the weather you tell me to wear a sweater but I'm not cold I break all the standard molds I'm made of gold I'm not sold on your lies they are covered in flies and maggots

You're a ********
Everyday feels like I’m being strangled Forced to look at life from different angles Hang a left up ahead Dangle from every roof top’s ledge

Neck hugs
Why do we spend our time obsessively checking the number of followers we have? Let’s take a stab at the facts Why do you care if they follow you back? When you lay your head down, you’re sad on your own in bed You can’t stop thinking about what those haters said You better get that **** knocked out of your head Maybe pick up a book or go outside instead

Don't follow me
I still have hope for humanity It was inspired through insanity I dug my feet in the sand I looked around All I saw was foreign Land all I did was gaze down in that crazy place but it was misplaced like glaze on a wedding cake Insanity is the reason we have hope It’s the only way We can truly escape To our childhood playplace We recreate our delusions on silver screens

Yeah
There are too many people out there who will take advantage of our kindness We won’t settle down until we meet someone who calls us “your highness” They’ll know what it takes They’ll calm the lakes behind our eyes Never blame you for the times that you cry We won’t have to be high to have a good time These are lessons we all learn For some of us, it’s a slow churn

Love you
Why can’t you give me the same attention I give you? How is a cellphone more important, a nap more important? I just want to go back to being myself before I met you. I liked that person. That person had ideas, dreams and goals. You took them over.

Your silence slices me open I roll the dice I want to see tears in your eyes Instead you just stay quiet I just wanna reach those Who have spent their entire life feeling like they are nobody to anybody Did you feel the edge of a knife Pressed to your skin while your friends search for their excuses in their expensive purses They curve you Like a teacher who just got laid Curves your grade Yeah, I have a lot more words to say & they say they are pressed for time Well I’m telling you, tongues are heavy because I've held mine long enough For the time being I know I’m not enough So for now, I'm going to stuff it and just shut up
