Heart in a Fridge
Skyler M Dec 2018
I put my heart inside your fridge,
Left it there for you to find,
It's in the very back corner,
I hope no one else see's it,
Cause what I have is only for you.

Listen to me,
I'll tell tall tales,
Of stormy seas,
And who I used to be.

I left my hands inside your mother's car,
So I can sign my care for you,
Grab onto them if you're ready,
When you're ready,
I'm here for you to fall on when you're down.

Listen to me,
I'll tell tall tales,
Of stormy seas,
And who I used to be.

Rain
Skyler M Jan 2018
I fall to you,
Rain comes to me,
My body’s laying on the cold hard floor,
And I know deep inside that I’ve lost my plight,
I know you’re waiting for me, Lord,
But I don’t wanna do this anymore.

Fighting battles against who I should believe and who I wanna be,
I’m at war with my core,
I hope you understand that I’m lost as ever,
Now pour onto me to keep me pleading.

Selfish crimes are taking my vision,
I feel your breath in the air I breath but you’re gone from my dream and I’m struggling to believe,
I do believe that you understand what I mean,
Now leave me here to die nine times before I pick myself up and cry again.

Hand.
Skyler M Oct 2017
So then i'd stand,
hand in hand,
hoping it goes as planned.

The hair strand,
falling inland,
my left-hand,
reaching for the inkstand.

Hand.

My fingertips are tipped with black,
I'm watching all the books stack,
before I take my life on the amtrack,

I'm getting so much feedback,
brain is swelling and before I know it I the hand crack,
all the voices are getting cutback.

Hand.

If your really understood,
then why are your hands all wood,
they might as well be on fire, firewood.

Hand.

Preservation
Skyler M Sep 2022
There's a smile in every picture of us,
Does that explain away the pain?
Does it excuse the shouting and fighting?
We were happy a few times,
But those few times,
Are outweighed by the crimes.

Bandaged
Skyler M Jan 2023
Wipe the sweat off your left cheek,
It's been quite a while so you reek,
Open your tired eyes and peek,
Don't you forget to blink.

What do you think?
Maybe, “I’m a freak.”
Or perhaps, “pathetically meek.”
You’ll ruin your own week.

World's Come Alive
Skyler M Apr 2020
Glass potion bottle,
Are you filled with confidence?
I kind of need it with the state,
That the world is in.

The world's gone dead,
Yet appears to be thriving on it's own terms,
Clear waters and growing green leaves,
Once we are gone- the earth reclaims it's home.

Nervous cause now,
I can't move from this house,
Hard to call it home when it's got your guts in knots,
The fire's in my room, it's too bright.

The world's gone dead,
Yet appears to be thriving on it's own terms,
Clear waters and growing green leaves,
Once we are gone- the earth reclaims it's home.

Trees
Skyler M Oct 2017
Standing under the trees
Under the canopies
It's a symphony and your voice is leading

I can't take credit for something I did do
I'll just hand it over to you
Maybe you'll grow and become famous
Then I can watch as you smile and laugh at Mr. Lake

Standing under the trees
Under the galaxies
It's the big bang and our voices caused it
          
I am dying with every step
I am dying with every breath
but the last part of my soul still lives
The part that lives for you

Standing under the trees
Under the sheets
It's the next chapter and our hearts are It

Drunken and Bottles
Skyler M Oct 2018
Climbing mountains slowly,
Garbage piles up at my feet,
Crumbling rocks tumble my way,
I've made a landfill with my own head,
So I know I've got power,
But not the power to say alive.

How do I do that?
I just want to get drunk,
To cry myself to sleep,
Swallow down a bottle,
And hope for the best of the worst.

It comes with the plastic that burns into my nostrils,
Why does every star fall into my landfill?
Shouldn't it stay where it was?
In the sky where the moon shines so bright.

How do I do that?
I just want to get drunk,
To cry myself to sleep,
Swallow down a bottle,
And hope for the best of the worst.

The Weight Of It All
Skyler M Apr 2022
Stitch your zipper lips up, pupper.
Ignorant ******, you *******.
Yes sir! He's like butter.
The toilet cracks, slip down.
He'd drown you, ******* clown.
What is found, your heart pound.
Construct your plastic empathy.
Scrambling frantically, thrashing fantastically.
Fish out of water, no sympathy for tyranny.

Prodigy Child
Skyler M Jun 2021
Idyllic families
Childhood prodigies
Standards set so high
An altitude they cannot fly.

P-R-O-D-I-G-Y!

High School rolls in,
For some reason they cannot win,
Lost faith in the Father,
Take those kids through slaughter.

P-R-O-D-I-G-Y!

Every word becomes a drone,
They begin taking the phone,
It doesn’t change anything,
So now they’re questioning.
“Do you respect me?”

P-R-O-D-I-G-Y!

“Not since you made me bleed”
It’s rhetorical, they don’t care.
They’re projecting, old dreams, it’s not fair.

P-R-O-D-I-G-Y!

Fast track all the way to graduation,
Barely made it with a lil medication.
Standards in the sky,
Rest In Peace, fly high.

Dirty Floor
Skyler M Feb 2023
I wanna go somewhere,
Where nobody knows my name,
Where my socks aren’t the same,
And my eyes won’t scan the ***** floor.

If you wonder if I’ll ever change,
Then you better settle down,
There’s a chair and a cup of champagne,
It’s a lifetime you’ll wait just to frown.

I wanna go somewhere,
Where nobody knows my name,
Where my socks aren’t the same,
And my eyes won’t scan the ***** floor.

My track record will never be linear,
For the bones my skin rests upon,
Beg and scream at me so it’s all that I hear,
Maybe if I play harder it won’t feel so wrong.


Im not your boy,
Im not your girl,
Im not your friend,
Im not your toy,
I understand,
That you hate my guts.

Flooded Eyes
Skyler M Mar 2018
Setting sail for broken moons and drifting stars,
In a sea of faded galaxies,
Pouring into the waterfall that meets the edge of the world,
Greedy jewels inside farewells.

Flooded eyes, won't you meet me here?
Among the broken message men,
They will float around us as we walk,
And talk about the things we knew.

Nebulas bleed into the sea,
Searching our feet for something new,
It appears that we,
Like to lie about what we see.

Flooded eyed, won't you meet me here?
Among the broken message men,
They will float around us as we walk,
And talk about the things we knew.

I know we both wish for the sky to speak,
No matter what we may believe,
I know we both wish for the sky to speak,
No matter what we may believe.

Ivory Fanged
Skyler M Jul 2022
It's a forest parted from the trees,
All of it is incomplete,
I will run until I’m free,
Till the end of dooms-day,
Faced by the wretched beasts,
Radioactive six foot wolves,
Mutated hungry killer bears,
Am I here to be consumed?
Or do I concede to them?
Never free am I then?

Made to hate my bones,
Came too close to a grave,
Underneath the porch I'll stay,
To hide from the ivory fangs.
Skyler M Aug 2022
To the municipality of my right side brain,
I send you this letter wishing you well,
Asking you kindly for a drop of water,
I know the well has been run dry,
And the rivers are beginning to tire,
Know I'd be forever in debt,
If I were spared just a drop of water.

Prey
Skyler M Nov 2017
I found myself on the edge of your vision,
I've fallen into something much bigger than myself,
Taken a bite onto something that I can't control,
It's my love for you and I'm ripping the flesh off of my body.

Realizing I've lost my heart,
I should've kept my distance,
You're an animal and I'm the prey,
Common sense don't mean much when you're around.

You're the one I need now,
In the eternity of night,
If I leave with no warning,
Just know that I'll be back.

Realizing I've lost my eyes,
I've tried to keep my distance,
You're the animal and I'm the prey,
Common sense comes crashing down when you're around.

Proud of Them
Skyler M Aug 2018
Let's count all of my friends,
And see how many are left,
It's okay cause I'm not afraid,
I don't mind being alone,
Cause I've convinced myself that I don't need them to keep on going.

If you find me on the floor,
Keep the door open a crack,
I want to see what's happening,
Cause I am proud of them all.

I know that they all tried their best,
I am happy to say that cause,
Every day my heart beats when I know,
That they will grow,
That I know.

If you find me on the floor,
Keep the door open a crack,
I want to see what's happening,
Cause I am proud of them all.

Love Yourself
Skyler M Dec 2018
When you look upon yourself in the mirror,
Do you see what I see?
Because the way you look away when I say,
"You're amazing."
Just gives me proof that you're out of this world,
It's okay, It's okay, it's okay.

It's time for you to learn,
To learn to love yourself.

You're framed inside a picture,
That's moving out of the gallery,
And your eyes hold the stars,
While your hands hold the torch,
Of all the art in the gallery you're the most stunning.

It's time for you to learn,
To learn to love yourself.

And when the sun sets on the hills,
It reminds me of your smile,
Call me cheesy and a dork now if you want,
But I'm telling you the truth, my dear,
It's the truth,
So for me,
Could you find a way,
To love yourself.

Look to the Sky
Skyler M Mar 2018
When I look to the sky,
Don't ask me who I'm looking for,
Cause I'm just looking for anything,
Anyone at all.

An answer from space or energy itself.
If I knew whether it's real or not,
It'd defeat the whole purpose of searching.

If I said knew who I was asking for,
I'd be presumptuous and ignorant,
Who knows who could have built this.

When I look to the sky,
Don't ask what song I'm singing,
Cause I'm just making it up as I go along,
Along a make believe path.

The Young
Skyler M Oct 2017
we are The Young,
the ones who control,
The Fate.

though you might stand alone,
away from The Young.
Standing in my arms,
watching towers fall from grace.

we can start,
all over.
please don't kiss my lips,
I cannot bear the razors in your teeth.

I've gone through nothing,
compared to The Old.

The Fate,
rocks The Old to sleep,
foretelling of,
a brand new world,
but only Time.

only will The Young,
call you to arms.

Catastrophe
Skyler M Aug 2022
Cacophonies,
Caterwauling,
A somber symphony,
Coming from the concrete,
Underneath, below the street.

Sing me a song,
It's been there too long,
I've been way too strong,
I just wanna get along.

I Stopped
Skyler M Oct 2017
I stopped swallowing a long time ago,
I stopped breathing for you a long time ago,

Cause I have my own problems too,
You scrapped your knee and I lost my heart.

The Lights Across
Skyler M Oct 2017
The lights across the street are lit but mine is out
I can tell it's much darker than last night's route.
I hang onto the tree limbs and lead bones in the house.

The feeling is that I never wanna leave but the skeletons in the closet say otherwise.
Yelling and perfecting my next, new route.
I plead myself guilty as the man with a knife walks out the room.

The lights across the street are gone now, along with mine.
I could tell it's definitely darker than the other night out.
I hang onto the ashen leaves and grim tones in the shed.

Home Is Where I Died
Skyler M Oct 2017
I dream of life outside,
the walls that caved me in.
In this particular silence,
without rhythm does my heart beat.

Under the trees
and forestry greens
a life you refused to see
blinded by the holy grail in your way

Home is where I died

Stripped Screws
Skyler M Feb 2023
My head is ******* too loose,
It’s becoming easier to lose,

So I took a look inside,
Found that I was right,
A sleeping beast, what a sight.

Crying Dogs
Skyler M Nov 2018
Crying dogs outside the windows,
Wanna see myself above them all,
Careening to a future where I do it all.

It's a sinking sinking feeling that keeps me on my feet,
I've hounded it around,
Surrounded it with sound,
Kept it till it thought that it had defeated me,
As if defeating me would do it any good,
I've hounded it around,
Surrounded it with sound,
Shocked it till it was driven back into my shaping head,
If I'm healing with the reason to become purposeful, then so be it.

Crying dogs outside the windows,
Wanna see myself above them all,
Careening to a future where I do what I need.

Missing: Friends
Skyler M Aug 2018
Walls keep closing into my frame,
Temperature skyrockets as I stare until my own eyes burn away,
I can't sleep at night when all my friends are dead or gone,
Eating my own ****** guts on the clothes-ridden floor.
Emotions are all either dead or overpowering.

What makes you think of the stars?
Does it ever keep you up at night?
What is it like to know you'll be alright?
All I ever get from sleep are scars.

Settled into a little room,
Not enough to hold all of my missing friends.
Every day is the same I want out of it now.
I wonder if there will ever be a day when I won't want to burn away.

What makes you doubt yourself?
And does it ever keep you up at night?
Tell me, what is it like to know that everything's alright?
All I ever get from sleep is waking up to the same old shelf.

If they really cared they would text me back,
I only asked for help once and now I'm off the hook,
My only thought is that it's all my fault,
And you wonder why I'm not alright.

Wish I could get sent to space and witness an exploding star,
Nothing feels right anymore with only four corners,
Am I an animal for thinking I should die,
Looking at my hands that almost appear to be bleeding,
Green is all I see from head to toe,
Lights dim and I lay myself to sleep.

Worn To Nothing
Skyler M May 2019
My corpse worn to nothing,
Could I prove that I am something?
The world might come to an end,
Unless you've got a hand to lend.
Every night I need to comprise,
It's proven worthy to be concise.

In the morning,
Send a warning,
I'll be there soon.

Alien ink thinks to itself,
While it sits upon the shelf,
In the corner of my vision,
It's a collision, a kaleidoscope,
microscopic, atomic atom particles,
I don't have any obstacles,
Other than my fears and self-destruction.

In the morning,
When it starts warming,
My corpse starts forming, reforming,
Send me a text,
I'll catch up to you next.

Midnight Frames
Skyler M Feb 2018
I refrain as my frame,
Continuously lies as I let out many unforgiving sighs,
I notice the water is deeper so I falter,
Then he calls me blasphemous as I become slowly passionless,
But that's just fine cause I don't need to follow him into the hollow,
I've got time to strive for my lifeline.

Eyes That Fall
Skyler M Apr 2019
Fall down and scrape your knees,
Hit your head and make your nose bleed,
Cry so hard and break your own soul,
Maybe even break my heart.

Well I didn't know it'd be so hard,
Watching you break your arms,
Holding you oh-so tight,
Just to keep your eyes from falling out.

Feeling bad because I forced you,
Pushed you down some stairs you weren't ready to go down,
Now your guts have been revealed,
Your mother won't leave you alone,
And everyone's gonna know your guts aren't red,
But a deep sea green,
A disease made up of a broken child,
And maybe even some teeth you've been missing since second grade.

You asked me to promise you that I will plant my roots,
And I do, oh god I do,
My tree trunks have been still since the day I kissed your cheek,
You are worth my soul and more,
And should you leave me for the underworld,
I would follow you right down,
Some would call that unhealthy but I've got my future so far and hopeful just from looking at you.

Well I didn't know it'd be so hard,
Watching you break your arms,
Holding you oh-so tight,
Just to keep your eyes from falling out.

Watch me grow.
You told me I'll never do so,
I'm paving my own road,
From the road that was cracked and beaten,
Into one of fresh cement,
Watch me,
I dare you,
Watch me grow,
I'll become better than anything you've ever known,
I'll break you down and tell you off,
The power in my hands will **** your inspiration in me.

Winning in Winter
Skyler M Nov 2018
Curves and lines,
Shapes and areas,
Crowded around in art,
A creative mind full wreck of youth,
He’s healing.
Being bathed inside of his room,
A room of green,
A room of stale ideas come to life.
He’s got his hand on the future,
But taking the step scares him the most,
He’s ready,
He knows he is,
He’s been through years,
And those years killed fears,
But along with his friends.
Though he’s lost all meaning to losing friends,
He knows they mean well and he’s got more to see,
So watch him heal,
His eyes are more blue than they’ve ever been,
His head is clearer with every sip of bleached river water.

Indents and impressions,
Bends and rounds,
Sending signals of health and healing,
Sent home to where the family under the roof welcomes him inside of his dreams,
So if you’re okay with him,
He’ll take that step to a new day,
A sunny summer day in the middle of winter,
He’ll sleep on a rainy day,
But only be more productive the very next,
He’s doing change,
Allegories and curses inside his brain becoming strangely kind and hopeful,
He’s loving it by loving himself,
In a way of which is hopefully not conceited,
As he hopes he never becomes,
Green envelopes healing boys,
Green screens the depression’s knife from viewing.
Green is the color of winning in his roomy world.
Winning feels good doesn’t it?

Threads Off Ceilings
Skyler M Jan 2019
Shifting in between threads,
They hang from the ceiling,
And brush my hands as I continue forward,
It's as if this room is the center of my universe,
Cause everything's revolving besides me,
Though not around me like I used to think,
I can see glimpses outside of the thread strung windows,
But it's so cracked,
I could break out at any moment,
It's just the lack of courage that stops me in my tracks,
I don't want to break my knuckles or fill them with glass.

Light
Skyler M Feb 2018
Something pulls my feet from underneath the river's surface,
My eyes are drawn to a bright light at the other side,
It flashes mesmerizing colors and I'm leaning into the water,
My hands outreach for it's splendor as I truly start to render it's beauty,
I slip into the river and swim towards the light,
The tugging at my feet grows stronger as I get closer,
But I'm already on shore and I'm holding onto it's existence tightly,
The light glimmers as I hold it close in loving comfort,
I pray to whatever created me that it'll never leave me here to wallow underneath the river.

Texture like old paper,
With every page turned,
I am learning something new.

Sit up,
It's not bedtime yet,
Sit up,
You have some ideas,
Sit up,
You can do this.

Take care of my nails,
While I stand in the center,
Of my palm while dreaming,
November might take me home.

Sit up,
The list is incomplete,
Sit up,
Your name isn't written,
Sit up,
The sun is yours to grasp.

Jaundice on my eyeballs,

Yet I feel drunk with shaky legs,
And I won't stop feeling so inspired.

Now, sir, where have you taken my heart?
It's not at the dump cause I'm feeling great,
And it's not in limbo cause I've got closure,
So what have you done?

I think there's something special in the works,
Brewing and stewing in my vocal chords,
I could call it an, 'I love you' but it's too soon,
The center is still much too cold,
I hope you won't mind the wait.

There's a touch I'd like from you,
It's more than just the touch of lust,
The hand that's gentle and warm,
Like a cup of fresh cocoa.

I know there's something special in the works,
A buttery sweet sort of brew to sip upon,
I might begin to call it an 'I love you' but in due time,
The ingredients haven't all been added,
I hope you won't mind the wait.

Even as I dance with you,
A cheesy ballad or two,
Maybe a cuddle to boot,
now, sir, there's nowhere else I'd be.

I think there's something special in the works,
Brewing and stewing in my vocal chords,

Spineless creation of untold creativity,
Restricted to the point of losing the bones in his hands,
Did the bones in his hands figure out where to go,
After years of doubts and suicidal thoughts.

The machine just might be calling,
Puncture the skin,
You better hope this is the right choice,
Cause where else could this man go?

Question his intentions as his intestines twist and jump,
Still searching for something to focus his soul on,
It seems so close right now but will it stay that way,
He sure prays that it does because good god he's nervous.

Rocking away the foes,
From my fingers to the toes,
And breathing in all the smoke,
Hoping I will never choke.

I'm a bottle of poison,
All my body parts boiling,
Into the viper's tongue,
Hoping I could stay forever young.

Beating all my enemies is fun and games,
Until she exclaims,
Pointing out all my damage,
That I had ravaged.

I'm a bottle of whiskey,
Helping you forget about miss christy,
Into another sin,
Hoping I could stay within.

Don't let this end.
Please look into my eyes and hold my hand,
We're terrified of what comes next,

Who really knows?
And to think I apologized to a plant today,
Am I really ready for this unforgiving world?
Well, so many have said no and I agree so let's do this together.

Can I just say that I hate my tongue?
It’s gotten so ****** so far.
The poison laced in my vocal cords.
What comes next?
Who really knows?
My teeth falling out already,
Cause I've told so many lies,
Would I be considered be a sinner?
Let’s pray I never make it out alive.

Cunning stranger, has their hand on my back.
They lead me to a cemetery and show me the lives that died inside of the short span of years that I’ve lived.
What comes next?
Who really knows?
I’m not afraid to change,
I will be ready for the day that I truly die.
Death doesn’t make me fear living, it makes me worship it.

I feel like buying a gun
Cause I’m not having any fun,
I’m done trying to run,
These days are coming undone,
No longer seeing the sun.

I can’t sleep for the life of me,
Why can’t these thoughts leave me be,
Im struggling to begin to see,
The forest for the trees.

Cry out every night,
God, save me from this plight,
I’m half a human as I write,
Hope I find a little light.

I don’t want to move on,
I keep seeing the same dawn,
It’s the same one I’ve always drawn,
Feeling like a plastic pawn,
I won’t be here for long.

I can’t sleep for the life of me,
Why can’t these thoughts leave me be?
I’m struggling to begin to see,

Blasphemous As I Am
Skyler M Feb 2019
People manage to fall in love,
With a cloak in their hand,
Woven of human words and perfectly invisible,
It's a sacrifice of their lives,
Though not always a bad one,
It's got me wondering.

How do you give your heart away,
How do you hastily fall for nothing and everything at once,
How do you see His love inside your soul enough to return it?

I'm blasphemous,
Riding the silver lining and hoping He's more than just fiction,
Yet shooting the father, the son, and the holy spirit with no shame,
I'm sorry that I'm not sorry at all,
Through the darkest times,
I believed the most.

How do you give your heart away,
How do you hastily fall for nothing and everything at once,
How do you see His love inside your soul enough to return it?

Plight
Skyler M Nov 2018
Here come the stranger things of the night,
Some call them demons and some it'd be monsters,
But to myself it's just me and poison boy's misadventures,
Our rocking bed atop a stormy sea,
He's beside me and I trust him with my life.

Our plight to death,
He says, "Say your goodbyes."
I say, "Yes, sir."
Our plight to light,
He says, "Say your dreams."
I say, "Yes, sir."

Breaking my shell off to rip me of my confines,
Poison boy doesn't care about that at all,
But I do, oh god do I care,
Stop breaking my face, my soul, my dreams,
Curb stomping me into my irreversible creation,
Why did I give in?
Why did I give in?

Possibility vs. Reality
Skyler M Oct 2019
Arms out against the cold,
Wind is blowing, I'm told,
"Possibility becomes reality."
I just wanna run down the town,
Look at the seeds that you have sown.

The seats you have left untouched,
Are feeling like you were unjust,
To the friends you have lost,
Sing that song of Home,
It'll forgive you for Rome.

Improvisational Chords
Skyler M Jun 2022
Where am I if I’m not standing,
There’s a play I want to be in,
I wish I didn’t shake and cry,
Every time I try to fight back.

My arms go limp,
Then my eyes tear up,
Finally, I loose all feeling in my legs,
I refuse to hand in my self-respect.

I hurt the morals I stand for,
No I won't lower the bar I set,
There’s a pale morning light but,
I still haven’t understood where my hands lay.

My arms go limp,
Then my eyes tear up,
Finally, I loose all feeling in my legs,
I refuse to hand in my self-respect.

Worked so hard to find my peaceful twilight hour,
At some point I’ll pull a golden curtain's rope,
Something that never comes without a fine,
I will not keep my pride for your sake,
I know not all that I say is right
There’s a stage and a song that calls,
I’m going on, entering from stage right,
Tripping over my ankles but that’s in the script.
Upon the stage I see there’s a telephone,
I answer to find my stage directions,
Follow until the prologue completes,
I won’t need directions for Chapter 1.

My arms go limp,
Then my eyes tear up,
Finally, I loose all feeling in my legs,
I refuse to hand in my self-respect.

Miss my, Miss yours
Skyler M Oct 2017
Hope you resent me
Cause once I leave
You won't have to miss my eyes
You won't have to miss my hands
You won't have to miss my voice

Think your way out of this maze
Stay positive and lay yourself in a bed of flowers
Your rotting corpse killing the plantation
Did you really think that was the solution?

Throw me all your hate
So when I leave
I won't have to miss your eyes
I won't have to miss your hands
I won't have to miss your voice

it doesn't make sense,
of all the power in the galaxy,
nothing could compare,
never in fear could you see such a place,
it won't make sense,
but that's the point- isn't it?
culminating hell and heaven into one location.
love it until you hate it.

Here I Am
Skyler M Mar 2018
Here I am
In front of you
So won’t you just
Hold my hand
And comfort me
Into sleep.

Here I am
Beneath the trees
So won’t you just
Lead me away
And hold me here
Into sleep

Here I am
Under the stars
I can see you
Following them
Away from me
Into sleep.

Here I am
To believe
But my knees are weak
And palms unclean

Walk away
Away from me
Into sleep I go..

Into sleep...

`Half-Alive`
Skyler M Jul 2019
Half-alive, dragging ourselves through the trees,
Our legs seem to be missing.
They might be up and living our dreams,
I can feel the thorns scrape my elbows,
Can you feel it too?

Verify if you're real with a wave of a white flag,
From the depths of the undergrowth,
We're getting scratched up by unforgiving roots.

When the blue moon sets over the horizon,
The sun starts to rise and I'm left alone,
The thoughts in my head leave me to be,
Is this good? I don't really know.
I've spent a good portion of my life wondering if i'll even live past 18,
Though the background is static,
Everything in front seems to be happy to be here.

Verify if you're real with a wave of a white flag,
From the depths of the undergrowth,
We're getting scratched up by unforgiving roots.

Changing or cursing- either way,
It's a game we're done playing,
Our legs may be long gone,
Fortunately, you're right here,
So I'll stare at these stars until I figure out you're truly here to stay.
