Let's talk about feminism Let's discuss the social perception of the cause How misgonists claim we are equal How bigots claim we are immoral How ignorants can say, 'She had it coming' Let's talk about equality Let's explore the land of opportunity Where being gay is 'a choice' Where racism is more subtly projected Where women are still fighting for equal rights Let's talk about feminism Let's examine **** culture How men are excused by intoxication How women are condemned by the same How people can say, 'Well he is your boyfriend, isn't that what you do?' Let's talk about equality Let's analyze the current state of equality Where in some states, you're protected Where in some states, you're rejected Where in some states, you're infected Let's talk about feminism Let's study the modern chauvinistic idea How women aren't as strong How women aren't as smart How women aren't as logical Let's talk about a revolution Let's inspire a renaissance Where equality is revelant and boundless Where feminism is celebrated Where protesting is unncessary Let's talk about a revolution

Cold, crisp, linen sheets Presence of the previous Loneliness consumes

Extended Stay Confessions
Living life with an altered mind Seeing reality from blurry eyes Every day seems shorter, I thought I was fine Where is the time? When I got a hold of that **** I said it'd all be fine That's before I lived life with an altered mind I said it won't become a habit That's really not my kind I just didn't see it coming Some might call me blind It was all right there, perfect for you to see Every action, every method, led to what I'd be Coming to the realization, I ******* hate sober me Rock bottom hit harder, than I could have seen It's a parasitic being that will eat you alive It burrows deep inside you, something I just couldn't find And you need to let it go, but can't leave it behind Every thought, every judgement, all becomes intertwined Living life with an altered mind Seeing reality from blurry eyes Every day seems shorter, I thought I was fine Where is the time?

Depiction of Addiction
I hope you're settled in And you like you're new friends We'll be united again Just tell the man upstairs To please hear my prayers You know they'll all be for you I'm not that far myself From eternal wealth Darlin' I'm coming home to you But til we meet again Believe, my friend I would never forget

Til Then
You thought you broke that day You thought you broke straight in half alongside our history I thought I saw a vision of heart ache Completely separated from reality I couldn't bear watching you fall And yes I apologize a hundred times Because I was not strong, nor am I still But I was not strong enough to keep you up I was still falling down I would have pulled you down at twice the velocity Creating an atomic bomb like effect that would sweep everyone we know and love Continuously destroying ourselves in the process They told us just hold it in, **** it up, stick it out No one takes into consideration the misery of two people in love and in hate under one roof Until we embrace in an irreversible head on collision I've never hit so hard, you know I've never questioned my sanity and decisions more Before you, there was clarity And before you there was certainty Before you I was living as though I could never die And after you... it seems as though I already have After you I can't even stiffen this upper lip enough to explain my sorrow My passion... my regret After you there's just a memory Just a silhouette lurking, stalking, suffocating me Consistently reminding me: This is heart break This is loneliness And this is what you did Can't shake a shadow But some days, while I pass our old apartment Exposed piping, high ceilings Just what you always wanted I'll reminisce, chest heavy, head numb I'll remember that what we had was real I was real, you were real, love is well alive and real Tell me it was real, wasn't it? Beacuse you can lie, and scream and deny for eternitys But the way I held you when you shattered to pieces And by the way you glued yourself back to help rebuild me That's reality and that's definite That was us

In Love and Hate

They say come as you are and repent Forget all the questions and time spent Of finding yourself When the answers are on the top shelf They're in the drawers of hotels, of places we went As they questioned our morals, are we decent? And they scream come as you are Just please don't take things too far When all the people are gone I'll send my regards to Alderaan Because I've heard he'll destroy the world unknown For the Bible tells me so
