I grew up in here, been here my whole life, nothing better really... just isn't, the air’s... just a tad sweeter than anywhere else. It’s the water, or the hills... But who am I, I haven’t seem far beyond my window, I wish I could roam endless alone In the forests, then, I’d capture each ounce of daylight like fireflies in a bottle. But now it seems, here in this rundown castle, Night is the only thing I treasure. When the castle quiets I can hear the hills speak, I feel the ground breathing. I know not to listen to nobody about nothing anymore, Cause the earth and the trees, they’ve been here the longest, we stand around, thinking... good... cause we know something, but if theres one thing I know, its that knowing ain't nothing. I can’t wait for England, to see the world, I feel like learning though it hasn’t helped yet, anyway, I’m alone in this mind, this world is me, and I know nothing of it.

(To be read in a Scottish accent)
Dress up like your fathers and your mothers Tonight you are alive Dance like royalty Tonight you are free This is the peak The mountain’s summit finally reached You are the girl you dreamed you would be Tonight is your wish Hold tight to the sensation for the rest is a lie Tonight is yours Take the hand of your man let him spin you until you can no longer see You’ve made it this far To those who will not feel this your life is a myth To those who won’t know this your life is empty To those who can’t have this you aren’t alone Clear the void of love and stress-not for you are the wish you’ve always had Tonight you are alone. Get rid of those disappointing tears for this was your dream Time sinks in and the moment fades Let the pictures hold the truth in your heart Me I am the majority I hope. Don’t tell me that was it. I don’t want to be there again give me the peace I deserved I question the faces of those who were chosen I ponder the looks on those who were not I wish. I wish I could've told them I wish they could know that this isn’t it and that you are alone.

A Night in the Dust
No one will know Who you were What you’ve been But Me. I know The ***** path of excitement Velvet skin of the seeker Stop. Don’t let the smoke caress your childish grin Your torn jeans Falling fears Your broken heart. You’ve been there You’ve done this Don’t do it again The forgetfulness the glimpses tell all Sudden showings of the past The glistening   your eyes tell otherwise Don’t turn too far Don’t fall too deep Think. As I continue to process who it was I used to call my friend.

Just Keep Hiding
As a child, I was a fool I remember in school, learning how to be successful Work hard, save up, and then you can be happy. I was never happy. The constant rush of faces. People who didn't know me,  said they did. I felt like nothing. to everyone Bound to collapse. I'm not happy Where am I now? Where am I going? Most nights, I dream of an escape being alone, distanced from everything. But no. Maybe I’ll just burn it all. Everything. A sea of ashes. Floating away in a decrepit canoe. Then I could be happy. Then they would know me, then I would know myself. What If I just drove and didn't stop driving, the road my path, the wheel my fate. But I can't stand the thought of knowing knowing myself A fool is happy

A Fool is Happy
Maybe someday My lies will become truths The future awaits Take me and my blatant misconceptions I wander searching Acceptance, forgiveness, praise, simplicity Why don’t I run an orphan of society I wish Streetlight glow and slushed faces of hope, epicenter of wonder Tell me. I can only hope of genuine freedom I am no maker, no progressive Innovator by fault Feel me Catch me and carry my faults Heavy and persistent I don't ever want to leave Tomorrow is a threat.
