It feels weird to be alone,
With nobody else in my home,
Can you see the scarecrows,
Lining up to take my gold,
Their greedy, beady little eyes stare through me,
And into the treasure behind me.
With every ounce of my being,
I know I cannot let them get to the pile,
Of all the things I cherish,
I cherish the gold the most,
So don't doubt me when I say that you mean so, so much to me.
::
::
The scarecrows taunt me,
Saying that things will always go wrong,
I can't trust anything that enters my head,
Even my own voice,
So I'm sorry if those scarecrows start to scare you,
Cause they scare me too,
And I don't want to lose you to their vice-like grips,
When the sun begins to set,
The shadows in the corners of my room grow,
Then their eyes begin to glow and teeth grow long,
Somehow they sneak past me as I'm paralyzed in fear,
The voices sink into my treasure,
Tearing it apart one by one,
What do I do?
My eyes have fallen out of my sockets,
I'm doubting everyone I've ever known,
I remember there's a gun in the room next to mine.
::
::
The sun rises and I'm awake again,
Shadows gone along with the scarecrows,
My treasure is intact, but where did my head go?
I don't miss you and I don't care,
This isn't right,
And I realize that the scarecrows never touched the treasure,
but ripped through my body like fresh meat,
Eating through my core while hissing doubts into my veins,
I'm sorry, God I'm so sorry.
Find me and I'll love you again.

How does the sun shine so bright when your smile shines brighter,
The days are longer again but all for the right reasons,
I don't know how all the things we say end up being the same,
I'm not one to fall in love so soon but I guess I'm just another one of those fools,
How do you understand me so well?

Let's both dream, shall we?
On a couch- in a room with no roof,
Got a view of the stars and there's rockets flying overhead,
That's where we could be, you just gotta believe me.

How does the moon fly so high when you fly higher,
We laugh and keep on walking while the colors keep changing,
Well, I really hope that you're still here,
When I'm alone at night and the shadows grow longer,
And pieces of my skull start falling out,
You're my hope and my dream,
So I'll never leave you alone.

Let's both dream shall we?
On a couch, in a room with no roof,
Got a view of the stars and there's rockets flying overhead,
That's where we could be, you just gotta believe me.

The eyes I need to see are like sapphire stones,
I don't know where they came from,
But they captivated me,
My own soul shivered and put it's hands together in prayer,
Hoping that you'd stay by me for as long as you like,
I don't mind, no, I don't mind at all.

I'll keep you safe inside our burning homes, tonight.

Let's both dream, shall we?
On a couch- in a room with no roof,
Got a view of the stars and there's rockets flying overhead,
That's where we could be, you just gotta believe me.

Hurry up, let's get outside.
The tide's gonna come raining down,
We're gonna become something cooler than any adult could ever see,
Your eyes are so excited and bright,
Mine are ready to fly out to see the world.

They warn us of the tide every day,
But we don't care,
We'll never care.

Stronger and braver than anything that has existed,
Shouting our names from the highest mountain top,
Burrow into the rain and find ourselves a home,
You ready for an adventure? Cause I am.

They've warned us again and again,
But we don't care,
We don't want to.

Overtime, the rain that patters against our feet,
Becomes the storm they warned us of,
Scared and afraid, we continue on,
Your eyes are afraid,
My soul is breaking.

Coursing rivers of water in between tall buildings,
Avoiding their sweeping force with all our might,
And the fact is that we might not be so mighty anymore,
We both hate this world now.

They warned and it came,
It's flooded our homes,
I'm searching for you.
Where did you go?
We all wish we could be young children again.

l o c k  p i c k  t h e  d o o r,

my room is too far away,

p r e t e n d  y o u r e  a l i v e,

poison my food with drugs,

n i g h t s  a r e  s o  i n s a n e,

vaseline lips speak more words than ever,

c e r e a l  i n  t h e  r a t  i n f e s t e d  c u p b o a r d,

no more of this nonsense, just admit defeat my friend.

I just want to make you proud,
I want to see you smile when I be myself,
Not doubt and cry over my mistakes,
I'm sorry about all the things I have done.
You deserve so much more than that,
Call me much too empathetic but, I love you.

Charge me of treason,
Send me over enemy lines,
I'll fight for you,
Until the light dies from my eyes,
Maybe I am just too loyal,
But no matter how much you twist my heart,
I still hold my gun high.

Lines across the corners of your eyes,
Count how many times we've laughed,
And like the silver lining of the clouds,
Your hair grays out but that only proves your times passed,
And I know that you've been through enough.

The war continues to wage and I'm stuck up-front,
It's becoming crowded,
All the dying ones,
I want to help, oh god, I do,
But the way I have to surge forward for you,
You're the only one on my mind,
The one I need to hold onto dearly.

Charge me of treason,
Send me over enemy lines,
I'll fight for you,
Until the light dies from my eyes,
Maybe I am just too loyal,
But no matter how much you twist my heart,
I still hold my gun high.
Just for you.

Fallen from Hell,
Out of the peripherals of my vision,
I saw her smile,
She breaths sadness onto the window,
I heard her laugh.
Watch as she walks herself onto the street,
I felt her hand.
Head wrapped in white roses to pretend.

I felt everything inside of her pour out onto the floor.

Flying somewhere far away,
Purple eyes are on the moon,
Christmas decorations floating away,
I am on a stage,
Drifting and singing my songs,
Guitar in hand as I sing it all out.

All I can hear is the crowd,
All I can see is the white corner,
All I can feel is the guitar in my arms.

Xanax drifts into my gaping jaws,
Am I just a skeleton?
Cause I see the pill again,
Cotton candy clouds,
Look like they were dyed with red,
Ascending through the classroom,
Into the eye-filled moon.

All I can hear is the chatter of teens,
All I can see is the teacher,
All I can feel is the tapping of my foot.

Back again.
I’m back again.
