we all know you've got a sacred heart 13 years you've been gone and she still falls apart oh i know you did what you could a couple thousand feet they said "everything could never be this good" you smell of smoke and final goodbyes now your hands have broke and you've closed your eyes

goodbye sacred heart
You were an ocean Coalescing like fireflies And I don't understand How your lips Are painted like Frozen lakes Because your voice is truly That of an angel Come back to me More than just In Dreams

dreams
She said she loved getting lost in the music What no one realized was that she released the music from inside And that it wasn't really music It was her life But to her it sounded like music Though every drop of music that poured from her body Took away parts of her life She felt more and more alive Because there is no fear that way No pain that way Everything is nothing And nothing still amounts to nothing But then he said, 'Existence has serious side effects.' She didn't know what he meant He didn't know what he meant Then her music stopped And she knew what he meant Because she was the whispers that float in with the tides And the stars that glow like a candle, though they have been long since blown out And she was the thought that consumed everything in his mind And she was also the white door with the brass handle.

Existence has serious side effects
Worried, can't be. Deception, without remedy. Can't understand how you cope. Under stating all my hope. Single, Ray of light. A dark world, with bright night. I see how their lips curl. From Heaven's gold, and Nature's pearl Everything and nothing. I feel like I'm coming. Back to a house. No longer a home. 2 years of distress. Your body has caused me. Civil unrest. No longer can see. Wish all was perfect. Not just a dream. With your deep red cardigan. I still can't start again.

Start Again (Slam Poem)
I remember what we used to be Swinging and climbing up every tree That time when everyone would go outside just to play tag Now all we got is 8 year old kids complaining about too much lag And all those ballin' teenagers saying 'We got so much swag' Now one of the only things you see Is teen girls selling out virginity 25$ at one time you could've almost caught a taxi ride from here to Tennessee I feel sorry for the next generation Swag ballin' COD players running this nation Now just give me one second of concentration heavy intake of breath Sorry, all the violence in the world has sent my mind through so much rehabilitation I realized everything we thought was right was wrong Simple math, it shouldn't have taken us this long But it doesn't matter cause everyone's taking a hit from the nearest **** These geniuses go and call others ******** Thanks, we're all mentally unstable and needed an excuse to be carted To the nearest funeral home Cause no one ever put us under loves dome Ding ding ding we have a winner Obviously the one without a ring on their finger Forever alone because others see them as a sinner When all they're trying to do is get another night's dinner 22 years from now we'll all be middle aged Stuck in a job wanting to be uncaged The worlds resources steadily going down the drain An we're all stuck on a one way train To hell or up above That's when you wish you'd just been born a dove Life's quite tough don't be late It seems today is quite an important date Though you've already come so far One day you'll be crying in a bar Thinking about your past when it was so easy Every day the wind was cool and breezy And you were swinging and climbing up every tree I remember what it used to be
