I wish, I wish
Upon a star
To bring my dreams
From afar

It glinting
Up in the sky
Oh how I wish
I would never cry

I can’t lose her
I must gain him
Without them
I am without a limb

Please, please
Let my wishes come true
I will repay you with
Anything I can do

Labels lock people up
Chain them in cages
Expects people to act in a certain way
Put people on different pages

So, what if there were no boxes
To hold us all in place
And no one cared about
The colour of your face

What does it matter
If you are black, white or brown?
So, what if we are different,
And from a different town

Why should anything define
who we are meant to be
Why can’t we just be happy,
Non-judgemental and free

We are told never to judge
a book by its cover
So why do we need categories
Why do we need a colour?

everyone is themselves  
no one is the same
everyone is different
there is no need to name

we are all the same when we’re born
not programmed for a race
we are all the humans in the end
no matter the colour of our face

Angry words and vengeful tones
dripped like poison
from our lips.

We were both to blame.

But you said you're just human,
so it's okay.
What about me?

Aren't I human too?

You said it was all my fault,
but then you said
you loved me.

I don't understand.

Your words are salt in my wounds,
so I'll just say
I'm sorry.

But are you sorry?

We play with our feelings
We toy with our heart
We give up our body
To escape the dark

It never was ours
So we treated it thusly
Escape with me now
Do you trust me?

If you do your a fool
If you don't you're alone
It's easier to be human
Than just flesh and bone

Seek ye the empty
Hold not til full
For senseless the senses
Wear us dull

You wake up every morning,
Head's banging and your mind is drowning,
And you promise yourself,
Last night would be your last drink,

Sometime you make it till noon,
When your feeling big and proud in an empty room,
I should give myself a pat for a good job,
May be a glass full of rocks and a good scotch,

You find yourself back to square one,
Downing bottles like its "day one",
You spring back to where you started,
Waking up in the morning heavy hearted,

You need to decide where to stop,
You need to decide when to turn,
Its a fight that both your hands need to grasp,
Its a either you are all in or you've lost,

I self destruct
It's what I do best
I wreck things I love
I leave behind mess

I'm on a war path of my own
And I burn bridges better than most
Set in my ways like stone
I keep wandering lonely roads

Brought up in a tired old town
I've never been one for sticking around
I've got madness on my mind
I keep running to leave it behind

This cold heart keeps warm
Wrapped up in trouble is all I know
I wear it like an armour
Sticks and stones won't break these bones

Wise crack
Wild as a fire
I'll say the wrong thing
Build you up like a tower

Then you'll crash to the ground
When I leave this old town
Don't be surprised when I say
I never wanted to stay
