They creep up the walls
Vines to trap some wild bird
And encroach on you.
You won't leave me be
Stealing my contentedness
Stop making me care.
Don't let me get down
It's easier than breathing
And living just hurts.
Air isn't life force
I am sustained by Jesus
Lord, help me today.
Grey means I'm tired,
Black means depressed,
Turquoise means I'm happy;
Just look at how I'm dressed.
It's true, I wear different colors depending on my mood
You saw for a moment
The girl she truly was;
A glimpse at her twisting soul
Foreverafter gave you pause.
Sometimes I see someone, when I'm not thinking about it, and suddenly it's like I see them in a totally different light, and see their potential and the person they could be and the greatness they could embody...it's crazy but it comes to me sometimes.  When you see a piece of someone's soul for a split second, it burns that second into your memory for an eternity.  You never really see that person the same.
Hands smudged from the filth
Stuck down in his fingernails
Worked to Impress her.
She was his Empress.
Toting around his portable sounds
A big 'ole bus with Diverse City
Tonight he's got his eye on it
With his rap rhyming witty.
Come here
Accept the unaccepted
They need someone to follow
And you're the only one elected.
An evil arrow
Pierces my soft vocal strings
Homicidal cold.
