When we were young
10 minutes was an hour
When we were young
We hated taking showers
When we were young
Monsters were our greatest fear
When we were young
We didn't know trouble would be near
Now that we're older
We see life's hidden truths
Now that we're older
We know what pain is
Now that we're older
We don't know where the gain is
We don't tolerate being played with
Things that used to say made with love
Are now given heartlessly with a shove
Can I be young once more
So I can cherish what I used to adore?

She was as cold as
the ocean at midnight
not having one care
not having one fright
she didn't always used to be this way
she used to be a normal girl
but that had to fade
the ocean surrounded her
and filled her lungs
and that's when she realized
there was no such thing as fun
she caressed the ocean
as if it were her child
she wanted to scream
she wanted to go wild
when would she break free
when would she run away
that she is me
and I am here to stay.*
{m.w}

She gazed up
At another world
Watching the stars shine
Feeling her heart curl
She longed to be up there
With the stars, whose heat she could hardly bare
She wanted to walk on the moon
She was tired of being in the earth's cacoon
She dreamt of running around Saturn's ring
She dreamt of climbing one of Jupiter's moon
She wanted to be a space girl
Into outer space, she'd go
Away from life's troubling foes
All these thoughts, just from looking at the stars.

Sleep is for the weak
that is why I sleep
sleep is not sweet
sleep is not heavenly
the nightmares crowd my dreams
making them more deadly
I wake up with thoughts of suicide
with thoughts of a better life
I dream to be alone
but my nightmares tell me I'm home
they caress my head
and tell me I'm better off dead
they swallow me whole
they spit me out cold
They kick me until I'm down
until I'm six feet under the ground
because they don't want me around
the sleepy nightmares are safe and sound.
