She takes pictures From roof top gardens That over look a sea of wonder He takes pictures of his brown skin Of the fortune he inherited From his ancestors Somehow they are both classified as Cultured

Cultured.
Why is it strange? Well it's the feeling of happy hopelessness It's acceptance of the end of all ends And the beginning of goodbye They told you not to wear it Your mascara runs like free children In abundance It tells them all how much you dread the leaving Walking away Is easier when you're convinced You're walking towards something better But darling how could you not see That you just walked away From the best.

For the boy who sleeps In the early hours Of the sun-soaked Earth I'm sorry your mind kept you from dreaming For the girl who cries At the very sight Of herself I'm sorry your mind kept you from self love For the child who wishes For something more Than a poverty striken Sense of imagination I'm sorry your mind kept you from reaching more For you The one who waits For life to be more To be better I'm sorry your mind kept you from creating it

For You
Stay a little while with me And let your lips redraw my contours Like the greatest cartographer Working at his craft Stay a little while with me And let my hands retrace your bruises As if to wish away the wrong done To your beautiful skin Stay a little while with me And swear on stars alone That when daybreaks comes You won't disappear with the transitory moon Stay a little while with me And stay a little while longer?

A Little While Longer?
I Will no longer Play victim to my own life I am the owner of my soul It's time to act like it

And when you feel Out of place and out of touch I will push and pull My way to you Backward bound Down a rain soaked road I know I need to make my way Straight to you Even if you smile only once today I will know that I fought my hardest to fight your darkness away

Fight your darkness away
I'm not crazy about me But I am crazy about you

Yours
If happy ever after Weren't some desperate dumb attempt To make us all believe that happiness Is existent Then I'd sit on some beach somewhere Waiting for the moment When happiness didn't feel so ******* important

Happiness
With a heart the size Of a clenched fist She walks on apathy Alone No remorse No remarks No reparations Just real, real disinterest Who made you feel Like everyone else didn't mean anything?
