What happens
when our eyes
shut?
I
don't
wanna
know.

Clouds over your head, with lightning from the sky. You saw fear, they saw courage in your eyes. You fought all their demons, you keep them at bay. You've kept them all safe, you've saved the day. Your friends gave you the will, and you know that's pretense. Everything that you've built, was it all just pretend?
This city in the clouds can only hold so much. Burn your palace to the ground; why does it hurt so much?
(Stop the bleeding!)
A symbol of triumph, be your own hero. Take all your mistakes, make them your own. This world isn't lost, it can still be saved. All we need is a hero to save the day.
You make a difference by snuffing out flames. You smile for all of these people, day after day. As the light in you burns, it takes it's toll; this double sided candlestick will ***** on it's own. You can't take it, ignorance isn't bliss; signed up for the long ride, but you didn't think this'd be it. The darkness you fought creeps up again. Fighting it this time will be harder than then.
Why would you tell them? What do they even care? Who is gonna save you from your own despair?
(Didn't think so)
A symbol of triumph, be your own hero. Take all your mistakes, make them your own. This world isn't lost, it can still be saved. All we need is a hero to save the day.
From all that you were, to all that you are, I've never seen anything like a fallen star. No one shines as bright as you, so many hopeful eyes wishing upon you. Like a shooting star, you shine so bright, clear up the darkness in midnight skies.
But you know what they say, about a falling star? No one appreciates it, until the star is too far.
(Better start running)
A symbol of triumph, be our hero. You took all our problems and made them your own.Maybe this world isn't lost, it can still be saved. All we need is a hero to save the day.
Maybe this world isn't lost, it can still be saved. All we need is a hero to save the day. (What I wouldn't give to be young again.)
Maybe this world isn't lost, it can still be saved. All we need is a hero to save the day. (To go back and change all this.)
Maybe this world isn't lost, it can still be saved. All we need is a hero to save the day.

Golden waves
it’s a sign from the gods
******* Athena has fallen so far from home
Angels come in pairs
isn’t that odd?
Even if we add or subtract, they’d still be whole
Who needs another half to feel what they know?
Those who smile know all about defeat.
Those who frown have only known victory.

Forever the optimist; you saw the best in me
Forever the pessimist you turned out to be
It’s okay if you don’t like what I write
It’s not okay to read it and call me the next night
The moon can only handle so much from the stars
The sun can only handle so much of a freezing heart
A flower can grow, and it may even bud
But ultimately roses wilt, and people die

Show me your wounds
I'll tear it open at the seams
And as it seems
I'm a good person
I just behave violently

When all we can do is
accept the things
we were once so compelled to fight,
a darkness awakens inside us that
only grows
as we do.

If we forget
that it exists
did it even matter?

You know it's ridiculous when you don't even know who the victim is. I'm tired of being victimized as the bad guy by judging eyes. All my thoughts are randomized I never planned ****, I'm tired of going with the flow, so now I'll go against it.

My anger turned to happiness out of fear of loss.

You're so confident of the common consequence that you completely forgot the constant process of making progress
But so what?
Who cares about the dirt beneath your feet when they'd rather use the metal in the name peace

And upon both sides of a burning page
he wrote the words:
Trust
Love
Forgiveness
as his smile turned around
he finally figured it out
he truly was all alone

I watch you through windows
and even though I can't speak
you know
that I die slowly
for every kiss upon his cheek
His lips
touch the ones that I did
They smile and laugh
Just as we did

So now I'm breaking glass, and I'm stabbing back with each of these pieces that you broke apart
Cutting deep on each of these to show you what happens when you mistreat the ones that loved you

I've written two hundred verses over in my head
showing what happened and what I did
I still can't find an answer, in a single thing I've read
That shows me how to fix the things I did

I'm a boat
and you're the sea
while my only use is for you
you're still beautiful
without me

I'm barely breathing
under all this water
I don't think you can keep me
alive for much longer

I can't drown myself
there isn't enough here
There isn't much else
that I can fear

besides dying without a goodbye

You know I'd wait here forever
You'll use it and then come never
And I could be doing so much better
But I'll follow your words to the letter

I'm so sick
of the topic of teenagers
being words they
misuse and mistreat:
*"Love"

If this
Doesn't **** me
I'll make sure
I succeed

Don't act like you care
I see through your ruse

You
will never mean
as much
as you think
to those around
You
