You say, don't go offline
Stay active, stay online
Don't disconnect me, no, don't go
I'd sell my soul just to fix up what's slow.

You say, don't leave me alone
Watch me closely like my foes
Say hello, like you've wandered into my soul
Let me miss you like you're gone.

You say, don't hang up on me
talk to me like your personal therapist
don't leave me! no, don't go
stay with me till we grow old

You say, don't go offline
stay active, stay up all night
don't sleep off on me! no! please don't
I'd sell my possession to keep our sleep away
Box
I was in a cage.
In that cage for so long, I couldn’t breathe.
But you came and broke me out of that cage-
Allowed me to believe I was free.
Free to breathe, to love, to touch.
Never noticing the walls slowly closing in around me until it was too late.
You brought me out of my cage,
only to shove me in a box.

we sat in empty parking lots
and watched the ferris wheel
talking about how
we were once
on top of the world

and now at the bottom

exiting the ride
but still syncing
our heartbeats
to the neon lights

I had a dream
that someday
my screams
will sway
the people’s choice
but not by the waves
of my voice
but of my turns of phrases

I know this feeling,
this terrible emotions within me
You only get inspired to pen down when you feel pain;
The beast within, beautifies the writings
and my uncontrollable tears becomes the ink
but I have defeated this,
I have found a way to escape this prison;
Tis only by looking around
every blessed day i wake,
in the hot sun and disastrous rain,
to see and feel the beauty
the Almighty has made

overthinking is the key
to destruction
and i have demolished cities
