This number, the intangible phenomenon That governs our lives We are separated, categorised Stereotyped by this number But who's to say this number needs be comparable? Isn't it full of subjectivity And experiences, immeasurable data That cannot be programmed into any system To give us a true idea First, tell us how many times you have been around the sun Then tell us Your age

I want to see the first thing you see when you wake up I want to hear the most complex questions in your mind I want to know how you cope with sorrowful thoughts I want to feel the softness of your open palms I want to laugh at the things you can't help but laugh at I want to know how you feel when you're favourite song is playing I want to know what you are

What are you?

I want to see the first thing you see when you wake up I want to hear the most complex questions in your mind I want to know how you cope with sorrowful thoughts I want to feel the softness of your open palms I want to laugh at the things you can't help but laugh at I want to know how you feel when you're favourite song is playing I want to know what you are

A sixteen year old boy stands at a bus stop Fighting back the contortions flooding his face Swallowing down the clay in his throat Desperately praying his knees stay strong The bus pulls away The boy watches as eighteen months of his life drives away from him The girl he loved with the passion only known by a teenage boy Is now gone And as he stumbles in the opposite direction Blinded by questions unanswered The memories begin their assault Beating him in every way he fears

A sixteen year old boy stands at a bus stop Fighting back the contortions flooding his face Swallowing down the clay in his throat Desperately praying his knees stay strong The bus pulls away The boy watches as eighteen months of his life drives away from him The girl he loved with the passion only known by a teenage boy Is now gone And as he stumbles in the opposite direction Blinded by questions unanswered The memories begin their assault Beating him in every way he fears
