The collapsing sun,
of a civilization,
once one,
engulfs the flame of the modern day mind.

Ignorance blinds intelligence,
and social stigma,
is irrelevant,
in a modern day world run by reality TV.

Modern day man smears predecessors,
but in the end,
supports their successors,
as long as they continue their reign of *******.

Nature suffers from a crippling disease,
modern day man,
brings her to her knees,
and beats her to death while wearing a blindfold.

We do all we can,
to destroy ourselves.
Modern day man,
we think all's well.

Little boy sitting in his room,
voices outside the door scream.
Mommy and daddy,
fighting again.
Family falling apart at the seams.

Every night daddy comes home,
he's inebriated.
Yells at mommy,
cause dinners not done,
it's half past one.

Mommy's to busy,
mending her heart,
a wounded soul.
And daddy shows no love,
no affection.

And the boy is spinning,
round and round,
out of control.
Doesn't know where to go,
he's lost direction.

Mommy walks into his room,
sits down on his bed.
Tear slowly roll down her face,
as she slowly says:

"Mommy and daddy need a break,
all our love is gone.
I love you,
and he does too,
but this just can't go on."

And the boy cries,
the boy cries,
the boy cries,
the boy cries.

And he cries,
and he cries,
and he cries,
and he dies.

Because daddy shows no love,
no love,
no love,
no love.

No love,
no love,
no love,
no love.

And the boy is spinning,
round and round,
out of control.
And he doesn't know where to go,
where should he go,
where can he go?

He's lost direction.
He's lost direction.
Shows no affection,
has no direction.

Dancing in the blackest sky,
between the stars pinned up with wishes,
elegant as silk in the wind,
she finds a home in her own skin.

Beacon of fire in the cold night sky,
a dying star turned blazing sun.
Ever so gracious as she glows,
moonbeams down to the Earth below.

She scans the surface but doesn't scratch,
barren and covered in dirt and mud.
Something catches her eye, a boy exiled,
there he lays, a broken child.

A sole spotlight, a moonbeam bright,
finds the boy in the dirt on a cold black night,
and the arctic winds howl,
carrying the voices of those who doubt him.

A sole spotlight, a moonbeam bright,
finds the boy in the dirt on a cold black night,
and the arctic winds howl,
stifling the voices of those who doubt him.

Beacon of fire in the cold night sky,
her moonbeams raise the Imperfect Son,
from the ashes of a life that ended twice,
a life from which the joker would run.

From the molten heart of the life he despised,
naysayers cackle and close their eyes,
for the moonbeams burn those who doubt,
the love that raises him from the Earth.

The revolver,
to my head,
has one bullet.

Finger steady,
on the trigger,
I can't pull it.

The thoughts racing,
through my head,
around and around.

Head in the clouds,
please pull me down,
so my feet touch the ground.

I have always been addicted to you,
from the day you walked into the room.
Blue dress, blues eyes,
bright as the moonlight.

We kiss under the stars,
and say the world is ours.
Where did those nights go?
No one knows.

The sky,
it grows dark,
the sun hides away.

My eyes,
they grow weary,
memories fade.

As I pull,
on the trigger,
fate rings in my ears.

I smile,
cause I know,
you are somewhere near.

I have always been addicted to you,
from the day you walked into the room.
Blue dress, blues eyes,
bright as the moonlight.

We kiss under the stars,
and say the world is ours.
Where did those nights go?
No one knows.

Rainy nights thinking about Rwanda,
fog seeps out of the woods.
Like smoke, it crawls across the fields.
My head lights attempt to cut through it,
as it intensifies, inhibiting my drive,
but it’s nothing compared to Rwanda.

I arrive at the Mobil,
wait five minutes for the cashier to notice I’m here.
When she does, she hobbles over.
I attempt to buy a pack of backwoods,
my card gets declined,
but it’s nothing compared to Rwanda.

I get in my car,
and have a fit when I can’t find my keys,
but it’s nothing compared to Rwanda.

I begin to drive,
get cut off and curse fellow man,
but it’s nothing compared to Rwanda.

I ***** and I moan,
an entitled little ****,
but I’m alive,


which many can’t say after Rwanda.

The crimes we committed against nature,
mother nature,
please, forgive us.

The crimes we committed against the land,
mother nature,
please, forgive us.

We murdered and ***** the forests,
for the development of polluted cities.
We did not care,
until it was to late.

The damage was done.
The damage is done.

We act before we think,
a common human error.
Nothing new,
but it’s becoming an issue.

Mother nature,
please, forgive us.

Walking along the train tracks,
leaves rustle beneath my feet.
There's no looking back,
I'm moving on.

Earth is a pretty big place,
for two people to meet.
Feels as big as space,
yet somehow, we met.

And somehow, we stayed together,
somehow, we stayed strong.
You promised me forever,
I held on to every word.

But forever didn't last,
didn't last long at all.
Now you're the past,
and I'm moving on.

I may not be strong,
but I'm moving on.

Mr. President,
why do you lie?
Mr. President,
why do you lie?
Mr. President,
why do you lie?
Mr. President,
why do you lie?

President Nixon,
cheated his way,
into the office,
almost got away.

Got himself impeached,
thought he could lie.
Went down in history,
as a bad guy.

President Nixon,
why did you lie?
President Nixon,
why did you lie?
President Nixon,
why did you lie?
President Nixon,
why did you lie?

President Clinton,
*******,
on Lewinsky's dress,
and sealed his fate.

Thought they could hide it,
but a close friend spews,
all of the details,
about the two.

President Clinton,
why did you lie?
President Clinton,
why did you lie?
President Clinton,
why did you lie?
President Clinton,
why did you lie?

Obama says,
we'll be out soon.
Three years later,
he looks like a buffoon.

Sitting, scorched in desserts,
in Iraq and Iran.
Lying to become president,
what a great plan!

President Obama,
why did you lie?
President Obama,
why did you lie?
President Obama,
why did you lie?
President Obama,
why did you lie?

No one will get away,
with lying today.
Because when the government lies,
everybody dies.

I've been thinking,
but thinking can wait.
The world is fueled,
by evil and hate.

It ***** up,
all the right and leaves wrong.
Crooked men,
keep singing their song.

They corrupt and ****,
people like you.
Say they're the good guys,
the last of a few.

I know I'm higher,
than **** like them.
Better than the mud,
at the bottom of the pen.

I read papers,
they reek of sin.
I try my best,
not to let them in.

I keep my mindset,
looking forward.
Last I heard,
this world was falling apart.

I hope,
we can find.
I way to,
save all mankind.

If we don't,
it's no big deal.
We won't be here,
in one hundred years.

I keep having dreams
that I'm swimming,
across vast murky pools
of my mud and blood and mystery,
swimming to hope
which I can see in the distance,
up in flames.
Worst part is,
I can't swim.

The music's playing loud,
people are on their feet.
Not a single person,
is sitting in their seat.

Bass vibrates the heart,
guitar blows the mind,
lyrics save the soul,
having a good time.

Listen to the groove,
see the people move.
Time is on our side,
dancing through the night.

Everyone is free,
dancing around me.
Time is on our side,
we feel so alive.

Don't stop the beat,
don't stop the heat,
don't stop the sound,
till we hit the ground.

Music in our veins,
pumping through our hearts.
Hope you love the sound,
cause this is just the start.

Together, we are one,
tonight, we are friends,
tomorrow, we'll reminisce,
but for now, it never ends.

It's silent over the range tonight,
quiet as the cattle roam.
Occasional gunshots in the distance,
home sweet home.

Men with intent to **** lurk,
out in the woods, miles away.
Me, I wait here with my gun,
and it's here I plan to stay.

I remember when the soldiers came,
told me if I stayed I'd die.
Told me they'd **** me if they could,
I'd like to see them try.

Because this is my home,
I stand strong for my flag.
And I ain't goin' home,
till those ******* leave in a body bag.

So let them come and **** me,
let them desecrate my body.
But they won't desecrate my home,
my country.

My lioness
golden and soft
soft as a silk woven dress
strong as an elegant lioness
I have adored you since your time began
and I will adore you till my time ends

Oh lioness
fair and so sweet
sweeter than any candy
I will never forget your face
aged for a lifetime but still the same
as the day I fell in love with your grace

My lioness
standing tall
on a rock in my backyard

My lioness
you are not far
you are always in my heart

The sun set on another glorious day.
I sat in my recliner,
reflecting on what once was.
It was then I realized what must be done.
I walked into the kitchen, and grabbed a knife.
I slowly cut off my index finger.
Blood spurted out,
I began to drink it.
It tasted good.
The pain was excruciating,
but I cherished it.
Every **** second of it.
I then called my dog,
and fed her my finger.
She liked it too.

All my life I've been looking for a shepherd,
someone to guide a broken soul.
But all I found was that I looked like a *****,
couldn't find someone who'd come close.

There were people who told me to take drugs,
some people said they'd be a home,
but when supports cracked and I got too heavy,
that's when I'd find myself alone.

Some days were grey and some bled colors,
some days I just couldn't stay warm.
Some days, insufferable, clouds hung heavy,
over my head, they stormed and stormed.

But I soaked it in,
so I could feel low,
so every time I tumbled,
I'd surely know,
that it can't get much worse than this,
that it can't get much worse than this,
that it can't get much worse than this.

All my life,
I've been looking at a *****,
but I am my shepherd,
I am my shepherd.

I will fight the frigid frost,
to find what I have lost.
I will weather any storm,
my heart beat, strong and warm.

I will fight another day,
I will find another way,
to see you.

I will walk across the land,
just to hold your hand.
I will battle sweltering heat,
to feel your heart beat.

I will fight another day,
I will find another way,
to see you.

And when I finally reach you,
if I ever do,
the skies will open up,
and it will rain love.

And when I finally hold you,
in my arms,
I will show you the love,
I have been saving for you all along.

My age is carved in the trees,
in the bark that breaks so brittle.
My age is sown in the sky,
that looks down on me, so little.
My age is blended in the seas,
and carried upon the waves.
My age is deep in the dirt,
in the intricate ant maze.
My age is the sun, the moon, and the stars,
the nebulae and black holes,
the reckless behaviors of the young and old,
my age is the ever expanding universe.

Walking by the riverbed,
drowning my thoughts,
and regrets.

Rocks sink quickly,
like my heart,
ever since,
you chose to depart.

Never again,
I cannot swim.

Been searchin’ for,
a light to hold,
and wane away the darkness a little more.

Stars grow dim,
like the tunnel entrance,
slipping further away,
disconnected romance.

Never again,
I cannot see.

The night is cold,
the frost is thick,
and I am growing old.

My fingers and face,
have become numb,
like my weak heart,
when we’re not one.

Never again,
I cannot feel.

The world has gone gray,
an empty canvas abandoned,
when did you even go astray?

Everything seems like nothing,
colorblind to the emotions around,
like a dog trying to define a rainbow,
or the deaf’s hope of enjoying a sound.

Never again,
I cannot hear.

War torn,
my heart cries,
like a newborn.

And like a newborn,
I have become immature,
to what love truly is,
you have distorted my perception,
forever.

Never again,
I cannot love.

It was a cold, wintry December day.
I was at home,
sitting by the fire.
The fire was hot,
but from where I sat,
it felt like a warm blanket.
Suddenly,
my ******* started to lactate,
uncontrollably.
I did not know what was going on.
I lifted up my soaking wet shirt,
and put my hands over my *******,
in an attempt to stop the lactating,
but it did not work.
And then,
it stopped.
I squeezed my *******,
to see if they would lactate again,
but nothing happened.
I went to bed,
hoping this nightmare would be over in the morning.
But it wasn't.
When I woke up,
I went into the bathroom to perform my daily morning activities,
when I realized something on my chest.
A third ******!
I tried to rip it off,
but I couldn't.
Later that day,
at dinner,
I was eating a juicy, tender steak,
when suddenly,
all three of my ******* began to lactate!
I tried to stop them,
for they were lactating all over my steak.
Then, like before,
it stopped.
This proceeded for many days.
Everyday,
I woke up with another ******,
and everyday around six o'clock,
they would all lactate,
until one day,
the unthinkable happened.
I woke up.
I could not move.
I had no legs.
No arms.
I was a giant ******.
"NO!" I screamed.
Then,
as usual,
I began to lactate,
violently,
and then I exploded.

My flame is going out,
and I don't know how to light it.
It's cold inside my chest,
and I just can't ignite it.

Saturated by the love I hate and the hate I love to feel,
I question every word because every word you say might not be real.

And when I lay in bed at night looking at the colors crawl across the ceiling,
I pray that when I wake up the next morning, they'll reflect the way I'm feeling.

There's no light,
inside this broken heart.
Just a love,
that can never restart.

There's a place,
inside my heart that's hollow.
And it's waiting,
for you to come home.

And I know that you're out there,
somewhere.

Sleepless nights,
in an empty bed.
Thousands of,
thoughts flow through my head.

No escape,
from the pain I feel everyday.
Ever since,
you chose to walk away.

And I know that you're out there,
somewhere.

I'll wait for you forever,
my hearts wide open,
we belong together.

Just don't keep me waiting for long,
I don't even know,
what I did wrong.

Please come home,
come home.

There's no light,
inside this lonely heart.

And I know that you're out there,
somewhere.
And I know that you're out there,
somewhere.
And I know that you're out there...

It's empty in this kitchen,
no Law and Order reruns in the background,
walker's missing from the living room,
phone been ringing for hours now.

Kitchen table's not so cluttered,
no newspapers waiting near the door,
nothing moves inside here anymore,
not even the dog on the floor.

And I'm waiting for a sound,
and I'm waiting for a call,
and I'm waiting for a voice,
calling me down from below.

And I'm waiting for a bus,
and I'm waiting for a friend,
that I know isn't coming,
to the home where she once lived.

Never burn your bridges,
now is not the time.
Ignorance is a disease,
and it plagues mankind.

We're slipping, down, down, down,
don't try to defend yourself.
Your actions make you who,
who you are.

The towers topple down,
onto the heads of the dead.
Heartbeat has gone quiet,
no one uses their head.

You preach for peace and love,
but you don't practice it.
Ask me where we're going,
I'd say we've gone-to-****.

And there's no question now,
we're a lost generation.
There's no question now,
we can't stop our damnation.

There is no reason,
for government permission.
There is no reason,
we can't have an intervention.

Release the military,
from its ******* "mission".
But the government,
has no intentions.

War and killing,
spending trillions,
killing billions,
all for oil.

People dying,
people crying,
while we're smiling,
we love war.

There is no reason,
we can't have a resurrection,
of philosophies,
like Isolation and more.

There is no reason,
we can't have protection,
without,
going to war.

War and killing,
spending trillions,
killing billions,
all for oil.

People dying,
people crying,
while we're smiling,
we love war.

We love war,
we love war,
we love war,
no more war!

Bottles all around him, half empty,
as he lies on the floor.
Feels absolutely nothing,
knows nothing because he is...

Just a boy,
losing hope,
losing faith.

He has,
no control,
of everyday.

Won't run out of beer, he's got plenty,
so he drinks some more.
Drowns himself in his dreams,
has millions of dreams because he's...

Just a boy,
on the run,
from his fate.

Because he,
can't carry,
his own weight.

Bottles all around him, empty,
as he lies dead on the floor.
Feels absolutely nothing,
knows nothing because he is...

nothing.

A ******* the brink of breaking,
faking her way to the top of the pile of all the dead before her.
Drinking to escape it,
she fights her way through the words,
looking for a cure.

All the names they call her,
ugly, fat, ****, *****.
What doesn't **** her,
just breaks her down more.

All the people telling her,
"you're okay",
are the people that help break her down anyway.

Why should she listen?
Why should she give them the satisfaction?

The bruises on her skin,
the voices from within,
the cutting, scratching,
and tearing of her precious skin,
is causing her to bleed,
is causing her to feel just a little bit better.

But better never lasts forever.

The evil within her,
is starting to **** her,
she crumbling under the pressure.

The puzzle pieces don't fit,
I guess that this is it,
she crumbled under the pressure.

Nothing lasts forever.

Some people tell me,
there's something out there.
Everyone has a calling,
yours is just not there.
Sometimes I wonder,
what they even know,
or if they even care.

Risen and fallen,
I know the feeling.
Fell face first before,
hit my head on the ceiling.
Can't seem to break out,
of these **** walls,
and they're peeling.

Everyday goes by,
nothing seems to change.
It's like I'm living days over,
they all seem the same.
Late at night, I lay in bed,
wondering exactly how,
to win this game.

So I ride the waves,
until they hit the shore.
Ride back out and repeat,
like it's not a bore.
This life I live is nothing special,
just another life,
and nothing more.

The cool breeze,
flows into the room in waves.
I'm dazed,
lost in the silence that once calmed me.

I'm swimming,
in a sea of words,
some of which are unheard,
I find peace between the lines.

Your actions,
they resonate like the piercing sound of nails on a chalkboard in my scattered mind.
You leave me paralyzed,
crushed.

I feel numb,
as I stare into nothingness,
praying for one last kiss,
or even just a passing glance.

But for now,
I drown.

Summer nights alone,
breeze blowing through my hair.
Just me and my boat,
and the cool ocean air.

But being alone,
is not always nice.
I'd love to love someone,
before I die.

But I find myself alone,
sailing the sea.
And I am living a life,
were I'm not satisfied,
with the summer breeze.

All I need is you,
we'll sail the ocean blue.
Just you and me,
out on the sea,
there's no where else,
I would rather be.

So I took my boat,
down to find some mermaids.
But had no luck,
my love began to fade.

So I turned around,
cursed myself some more.
Arrived back at the docks,
to find you waiting on the shore.

Now I wasn't alone,
sailing the sea.
And I am living a life,
where I am satisfied,
with the summer breeze.

All I needed was you,
lets sail the ocean blue.
Just you and me,
out on the sea,
there's no where else,
I would rather be,
than with you.

I sit here,
still,
waiting for a wind.
A breeze, a gust,
anything.

I see my friends,
worn out,
war torn.
But I, I sit here,
still, bored.

I sway,
sometimes,
when students pass.
But the breeze soon fades,
it never lasts.

But of everything,
what keeps me going,
is when they pledge their allegiance to me.
It makes me proud to wear these colors,
and represent my great country.

I may be sad,
to be a flag,
that sits inside all day.
But I will always be proud,
to represent the U.S.A.

All my life,
I've been in pain.
All of this life,
drives me insane.
In the aftermath,
nothing has changed.
Walking this path,
I'm my own bane.

Where do I go?
This life has led me nowhere.
Does anyone know?
Why do they all stare?

All my life,
felt like a fool.
All of this life,
has me losing my cool.
In the aftermath,
just a cesspool.
Lies and hate,
I lose the duel.

Where do I go?
There's no guiding light.
Can't take it slow,
or else I'll lose sight,
of the future,
of myself.

Fallen leaves scamper at my feet,
like a scourge of plagued rats.
Unlike the rats, they are welcome at my feet,
but much like the rats, they mean only death.
For they are the harbingers of a great fire that will sweep our lands,
red, orange, and yellow,
and will signal the turning of the seasons,
the coming of ice and frigid gales,
the feeling of death,
which will ravage my heart.

I've been through 22 years of hell,
under the guise it's a life lived well.

I've seen hatred, I've seen pain,
I've seen how love is just the same.

I've seen a man begging for work,
have his name dragged through the mud and the dirt.

I've seen another asking for his rights,
only to be lied to and denied.

I saw a man tell us about the end of the world,
so he could put us through an eight year war.
And the next man promised hope and change,
but it didn't apply to everyone the same.

Who's to say what's wrong and what's right?
What's the difference between the truth and a lie?
When did it all fall apart in our hands?
Where did the lines wash away in the sand?
And why do we keep making the same mistakes?

I've seen a man walk into a school,
I've seen a man walk into a church,
I've seen them walk out with the same look on their face,
man, that wicked look is the worst.

I've seen violence against a man,
I've seen it against a woman too,
sometimes because no one is listening,
or because they have different views.

Oh lord,
please help the world.
Oh lord,
please help the world.

I don't care what religion you come from,
I don't care if it's mine or it's yours,
I'm just looking for some help down here,
please come and help us, oh lord.

Oh lord,
oh lord.
Oh lord,
oh lord.

Time moves so incredibly fast,
hours tick by, days quickly pass,
weeks turn to months,
months turn to years,
years into a lifetime,
a lifetime in seconds.

There's something out there,
and I'm going to find it.
Some times you'll realize,
the glass slipper isn't the right fit.
Don't get discouraged,
just keep on fighting,
you'll find it get's easier as you go.

I've grown not just in size,
but inside.
I've slowly molded myself,
with the help of friends.
I've almost faced the end,
but I'm breathing,
and I'm smiling.

I don't know what's going to happen next,
I just know that I'll take it with a smile and deep breath,
I'll embrace and it take it as a brand new chance,
to become something I'm not.

This life has been brutal,
relentless and rough,
but I'm battle tested now,
thick-skinned and tough,
I'm ready for whatever,
this life has to offer,
so let's go,
bring it on.

Open casket funeral and I'm inside it,
watching all the spectators crying,
but I don't get it,
it's what I've always wanted.

Here come friends and family,
kiss me on the lips,
I feel their tears as cold as ice,
their lips burn,
hot as a steam pipe.

But this is what I wanted,
I've been in the air for years,
finally came down on a whim,
and now I'm here.

Rip,
tear,
sever,
snap.

Break this heart in half.

Carve out my insides,
cook them, and me, alive.
Sprinkle pepper,
salt,
oregano.

Roast me nice and slow.

Feast,
eat,
enjoy your meal.

Forget my name,
our love,
not real.

And for dessert,
please eat my heart.

Now we will never be apart.

Golden and orange,
they crunch beneath my feet.
With fall comes leaves,
my head full of empty dreams.

I know no bounds,
my mind stretches to infinity and back,
yet my dreams seem so dead,
untouchable at best.

My future seems bleak,
full of broken commitments and shattered dreams,
but right now,
I don't mind.

I'll carry on,
I'll move along,
because I know one dream has come true,
and that is to wake up alive.

Seasons come and gone,
grey ice fights the waves.
Sun stretches its arms,
its reach not far away.

Warm air pockets come,
cold air fights to maintain.
A steel grip on my soul,
but it slips away.

Sitting on stony earth,
the most comfortable I’ve been it weeks.

Hard ice gives away,
to soft embracing mud.
Wind whispers warm secrets,
of sweet summer love.

Holding out for hope,
the brighter future fades,
taken by the sound,
of an invasive plane.

On the brim of dawn,
on the battle torn fields,
where the lilacs flow,
we will never yield.

Swords may clash,
with the shield I wield,
but we will never run,
we will never yield.

Flesh meets with sword,
sword meets with shield.
Battle cries are shrieked,
we will never yield.

And when sunsets,
on this ******, beaten field.
We will stand tall,
we will never yield.

The painting on the wall,
reflect the simple songs,
we loved,
we shared.

The absence of the sound,
collected and compounded,
into one,
tightly wound bomb.

Did I expect for it to explode all to soon?
I can't explain how much it pains me to lose,
the one thing I loved.

I spend cold long nights up by the window,
watching and waiting for you to come home,
I won't sleep tonight,
or the next night,
or the next or the next or the next or the next,
or the next night.

But I'm fine,
I'm fine.

Don't waste your time,
looking back.

My city, my home,
just crumbled castle walls.
Flames and fear,
and burning horse stalls.

Flight of the wicked,
with forked tongues.
Burned my home to the ground,
with flames hot as the sun.

Art thou afraid,
of the flying beasts,
that ravage our lands,
and eat all of sheep?

Art thou afraid,
of the flame wailing beasts,
that **** all our people,
with the slightest of shrieks.

Raise your hands brethren,
raise your swords high!
For tonight, for our people,
we die!

To free the lands,
of this wretched, cruel beast,
we must swing our swords strong,
and show we're not weak.

We must clash with flesh,
and slash and slay,
for the people we love,
for our city, our home.

God, I've never asked much,
I don't need and I don't beg.
Years go by, nothing changes,
war wages inside my head.

It's come to my attention,
that you're some savior.
You know my condition's dire,
you can see it in my behavior.

I want to believe but it's so ******* hard,
when every morning I wake up with a battered heart,
a brain that's been ravaged and war torn for years,
and a body that's been broken by fear.

God, I've never asked much,
I don't beg and I don't need,
but can you answer my prayers now,
either save me or **** me,
save me or **** me.

Inside, my insides turn inside out,
heart wants to cry, but the mind just shouts.
Picking up on signals I missed,
tied in a knot, I'm no contortionist.

I hear the gunshot go off in my ear,
I feel the bullet pass through my brain.
I taste the blood on my tongue,
I try but I can't reach the reigns.

Out of control,
it's overload,
unbearable,
it's just not me.

Shifting the plates,
out of their place,
this new terrain,
is scaring me.

Outside, the outside world ousts me,
all because she brought out my disease.
I'd burn you down if I could, I would,
I'd pull the trigger, trust me, I'd shoot.

Trust me, I'd shoot,

It takes two to tango my dear,
I ruined you, you ruined me,
it's no big deal.

Crash and burn into my heart,
and of course, that was just the start,
you left a scar.

On fire and flying high,
like a meteor up high,
I'll crash and burn like you did,
into the heart of another.

There's something inside me,
I feel it ticking and pounding.
I can't breathe and it hurts,
but it feels so astounding.

I've let it have it's way,
one too many times before.
I can't let it take control,
so I lock the door.

I can hide away,
till it goes away,
till I lose you too,
because no one stays.

I once heard from Freddie,
that love was a game,
and if that's the case,
I don't want to play.

I just want to feel,
safe again.

Over and under again,
like a tidal wave,
born to crash and solemnly be dragged back.
Holding onto debris I should be forgetting,
praying it won't pull me away,
it was dark, so dark,
and cold enough to freeze my brain on the surface,
but if you dig deep, I'm still running.
Scatter brained,
trying to swim,
it's like I'm rubbing my stomach and patting my head,
my hands and feet,
arms and legs won't synchronize,
won't work together,
my arms move one way,
my legs, the other,
my heart goes another,
up and out my chest,
over and under again,
back down to my feet and then my throat and it tastes bittersweet.
Sometimes crashing distracts from the fact that you're falling.

I'm spinning out of control,
spiraling down,
overload.
I'm slipping,
just don't let go.

Stuck in overdrive,
mental meltdown,
I'm losing my mind.
My only enemy,
is time.

I feel my brain cells exploding,
the shores of my heart,
slowly eroding.
I cannot breathe,
my lungs are imploding.

I'll close my eyes,
hold my breath,
and hear the cries.
I need you now,
please save me,
I need you now.

At first we had to,
colonate,
colonate,
colonate,
colonate,
colonate,
colonate,
c­olonation!

Then we had to,
populate,
populate,
populate,
populate,
populate,
populate,
population!

We had too many babies,
too, too many babies,
too, too many babies.
Too many babies,
too, too many babies,
too, too many babies.

Now the government has to,
regulate,
regulate,
regulate,
regulate,
regulate,
regulate,
the population!
The over population!
The over populated population!
