Empty Words
Are all I hear.
Lies Upon Lies
Are What They Are.
Cold Words Cut me Deeply.
Last Pain That Never Seems To Go
Words Are Like What I Hear.

We have different thoughts when we lay awake at night,
You're worried about more alcohol,
I'm just trying to make you feel alright.

I have been trying to cradle your soul,
But it doesn't help it all,
Build you up to be bigger than me,
And you still feel small.

I have been waiting on nothing so it never arrives,
Falling asleep to neon lights through the curtains,
With tears in my eyes.

You said it yourself,
Timing is everything,
It's not just fate,
I'm always early and you're always late.

****
And you said it would be different,
That you were someone I could adore,
But it's all the same,
I give it all to you and end up torn.

What a shame.
What a shame.
Yeah, you were in the wrong
But I took the blame.

In ten years, I believe my life will be great.

And every day that passes, I add on to it,
Memories swirling through my head.

Dreams of mine are sweet and simple
Elegant, in their own exquisite way
And I treasure them dearly
Dreaming of beautiful times to come.

In ten years from now, I'll be in love;
Not with just anyone, but he will be my
S o u l m a t e
In every shape and form; he'll protect me.
Dreams do come true; I'll prove it.
Everything will be okay, ten years from now.

most people read from left to right, not up and down.
read me from left to right, you'll understand what I really say;
read me up and down, you'll understand what I actually mean.
people are deeper than they are given credit for.
remember that.

For a moment there or two, I wished it was you
For you to be the one and for this to be true
You're like this beautiful scene of a wide open ocean
Everything is so vibrant even in your simplest motion
A radiant star, that fills me up with emotions
It seems like it's all crystal clear
Yet something holds me back, There's always this fear
I take a deep breath -inhale, trying to clear my head
I let it out -exhale, why can't I just be dead
My problem is, I still live in the past
And honestly I don't know how long this will this last
Just get me a **** bomb, and let me blast
Leave this world and let it be, I'll dive into the endless sea
But then you show up again, right before my eyes
I take a glance and it hurts that I have to disguise
If only I could tear off those layers I hide under
Will I ever show you who I am? I always wonder.
Tears pouring down with grace,nothing for me to chase
I'm leaving this life
I hope it's peaceful and quiet like you pretty face.

We swept our dreams under the floor mat as we stomped our way out the door.
We ran with the moment and dragged our hopes through the mud. We all wanted to be something great when we were younger.
We got older and forgot how to live younger. We forgot how to live! We learned about bills and forgot how to smile.
We traded cartoons for newspapers, bicycles for cars, fun for misery, friends for cell phones.
Our happiness is now based on the amount of money in our pocket. We don't have a "crush" anymore we have a one night stand. We don't reach for the stars anymore because it seems like its always cloudy.
Your body will inevitably get old but you can stay young in your mind forever.
We were superheroes that traded in our capes for a nine to five.  We were everything we could have ever of been.
Nothing was out of reach. We have all just stacked bills and our daily stress in front of that door. Break it down and live your dreams.
So let me ask again, what do you want to be when you grow up?
