Look inside.
See what's going on
in your eyes.
Your staring gaze
is agony in disguise.

Under the blue, the white, and the black.
You love them all, but they don't love you back.
They've got everything that you lack.
Your heart just breaks before the attack.

Take it slow.
There's really nothing that I
need to know.
Your empty eyes
tell me no, to go.

Lay there and pretend that it's alright.
Keep quiet, kind, and stay in at night.
Watch your idols and worship their might.
But the day I met you, I loved at first sight.

You are them.
I am you.
We'll never understand
what to do.
They are you.
You are me.
We are one in the same,
but we will never be.
We're living in a world where your body is more capturing than your mind.
And "******* *******" is  more important than time.
And time is just for wasting and having fun.
Living it up, "yolo", until your time is gone.
We're living in a world that is deeply confused.
Where the things that are most important are the easiest to lose.
Where no one watches the news
but rather watch bet, vh1, MTV.
Rather hit the studio then hit the books.
Rather say **** studying and become a crook.
Where cops are all crooked.
Where a look can turn into a homicide.
Your block can turn into a crime scene within seconds
And everybody's still acting reckless..
We ARE the endangered species.
and our generation chooses to accept it.
Life's ****** up
Our generation's biggest concern is filling up that red cup
Cuz we only speak out when we're getting served but we're fed up
We're trippin over our wishes cuz we were told to keep our heads up
Caught up with superstitions cuz we ran out of good luck
We're stuck inside a cage built up by satisfaction
Our conscious swallowed the key to the lock, call it desperate to a fraction
Yeah our thoughts are divided, our priorities are split
Too busy calculating how to not give a ****
We're embedded with the mindset that you can't lose if you quit
Our opinions sold out yeah we're morally ******
Cuz going with the flow garuntees open doors
So give in to your social addictions
Swallow it down with a smile and call it moral affliction
Don't worry about the obvious contradictions
How you feel and what's real only increases the friction
We didn't plan this exit
Its HARD you went so fast
My heart races just thinking about it
I had next week planned out for us
I wish all you did was not show up but
We all miss your absence.

Tick tock I try to prepare for this day
It hit me hard when you left
Tears welling my heart
It crumbles like  clay
I want to run with you faraway.

my emotions like lightning struck
my feeling like sleepless eyes
my regrets like raining days
my thoughts like shattered rocks

I long for peace of mind
U left a hole in me
I  try to remember our love
Your promises, character, your touch
Then I shiver, WHATS NEXT??

One day, I'll clear my heart
Reveal my loneliness to God
Let him remold my pain to beauty
And I will bless the Earth the way you blessed me.

The loss of someone we love, we never forget
So unreal, the sorrow
The spark of life, snuffed out to soon
So much pain, so many tears
Burdened hearts cling to each other
Your life was stolen, untimely
We care, We cry, We're overwhelmed
To soon for you to leave
To soon for you to go
We truly did love you, we still do
If only we had known your pain....

Any of you out there
Who feel your lives are worthless
Know there are people who love you
When you take your life, we take your pain
Love life, it loves you.

Dedicated to: Justin Storms R.I.P. (11/11/09)
Clouds scud,
Just the way they always do.
Wind rustles through trees,
As it always does.
Sky turning shades of blue beneath yellowing sun.
Just today the world seems a litter sadder,
This place a little smaller,
Now your voice no longer heard.
