All these kids are bleeding
And there ain't nobody stampeding
To do a thing but
Put a bandaid on the situation
Replace a conversation
But they forget that these kids
Cries sound just like a gat
Until bodies start hitting the mat
All these kids keep fighting
Cause they think it'll stop the pain
Remove the blame
But they don't realize
That the suffering won't cease
Until we stop muffling voices
And stepping on feet
Start walking to your own beat
And don't worry about the neighbors
Unless he doesn't have enough to eat

In the morning you'll be gone
And I'll just linger a while in your space
Breathing in your ghostly scent on my pillow
Imaging myself as her
Making you dinner
Gathering the kids
Waiting for you to come home
But you won't be back here again
You won't sit at my table
Or laugh as I ruffle your hair
She'll do those things now
And I'll just be a distant dream

You stood there
Soaking wet in the doorway
Muttering something about the weather
A stranger in our home
You looked as though you'd always belonged somewhere else
A permanent fixture in my life but always behind thick glass
You took off your coat
and hung it on the clothes line
Right next to your heart
Always the practical one

So many voices
So many words
I can't think
So I scream
But even I don't hear
Anything but shouting
Of kids in the halls
Brothers and sisters
Cousins and neighbors
They all become muffled
Over the sound
Of someone pulling a trigger
Shooting a gat
Blasting away all the things
they were too ashamed to say
or maybe were too afraid

If you were a bug,
I'd sweep you away.
If you were an infection,
I'd seek medical attention.
If you were burning bridge,
I'd cut you off completely.
If you were anyone else,
I'd have left long ago.

day dreaming, there's music in my head
steps match the beat of the drums
a conductor in a grand orchestra
woken by the nightmare of your face
blood and oil pool the street
run and hide she says
there's no time to beg
run and hide she says
there's no time to plead
reflection of that knife
caught deep in the bone
last chance to say no
break through the bricks
never look back again
better run he says
there's no need to beg
run home quick he says
the dogs are out tonight

I need you so badly
but you are not around
This is for you
this is just for you
I'll go to the ends of the earth
just to find you there
But when I get there
what will I say
I did this for you
I did this all for you
Everything I do is all for you
but you just choose to walk away
Pretend that I'm not around
maybe I'll disappear
This is all for you
This was always all for you
Maybe you'll pass by me years from now
I'll be with someone new
Pretending I don't need you
pretending I don't know you

There's a long green ladder
leading to a grand red castle
with monsters along the way
The castle breathes a heavenly scent
it's beauty shines like a million gold coins
while still delicate as a butterfly
It's children hidden deep below
wait for the right time
a knight to soar in and carry them away
When the weather changes the castle crumbles
only to rise again even more beautiful
reborn like a great phoenix out of the ashes

I've smoked the strangest dope
I've sniffed the finest blow
Nothing compared to the feeling
I've climbed the tallest mountains
I've swam in the deepest sea
Nothing screamed quite as loud
I've eaten the richest foods
I've felt the walls in my soul caving in
Nothing bled as deep
I've felt ultimate happiness
I've had cold steel against my head
Nothing hurt like falling in the frozen river

The dark is a scary place
when you're all alone
Get out your switchblade
face your fate
Follow her home
hiding in the shadows
The difference between love and ******
is...
Grab her hand
pull her close
She wanders with someone else
she was never yours
The cold hard truth
she doesn't even know your name
The difference between love and ****** is...
Wait at the train station
they arrive at eleven
Get out your forty-five
nobody will ever see them again
Photograph their faces
a picture for your album
The difference between love and ****** is the gun
