So now the rain commences
While we sit and stare
In past and present tenses
We regret

The rain begins to fall
Cleansing us all
Of the mistakes we'll never forget

But still the water tries
It pleads, it begs, it pries
To remove our place to hide

The rain tries to rinse
But it only removes the glimpse
It gets from the outside.


Rain, rain, try a little harder
Burn me with your acid water.
Heavy rain removes the face paint, and as it drips, my sanity drips with it.

We walk the same carpet
You don't walk on gold
But you walk with a stride
That is conceded and bold

You hold yourself above
Us "peasants," so young
Up on the wall
Where your certificate has been hung

You've got a degree
We've just been burned
We are still learning
And you've already learned.

But there's still something
That we have and you don't
We've got time to learn
Something that you won't

We can learn to respect.
Our elders and peers
most importantly
Everyone we meet through our years.
Age is but a number
And there's no "above 18" in RESPECT

You know my name but not my spiel
You know how I act but not how I feel
You've seen my mask but not my expression
You haven't seen progress, but you see my digression
You see my smile but not my frown
You haven't seen my world upside down

If you were willing, I'd tell you my spiel..
I'm falling apart.
There. That's how I feel.

Happiness feels brief
Pain feels long lasting
Eating your heart out is easier than fasting

Brevity is refreshing
Longevity is boring
The worst things in life
Are just so alluring.

It's like we ask to taste the pain
We want it; we beg for it
Again
And
Again
I don't know.

I'm not alone
But I, sure as hell, am lonely
I'm a train that's settled somewhere beyond the tracks

I'm falling apart
And I can't be put together
Time's a bouncing ball, and I'm the jacks.
Remember that game?
I don't think I've ever played jacks.

In sickness and in health
But lately,
Just sickness.
Because you make me sick
Also because I'm sick
I'm not even married. Get over it.

Take me back
Take me back
Bring him back to me
A smile that only ever came
In my infancy

Take me back
Take me back
When everything was fine
Take me back to see that smile
Take me back in time

1, 2,3
4 and 5
Come six he has passed
Take me back
Take me back
And make those moments last

Take me back
Take me back
Bring him back to me
Take me back to when we were
A perfect family
I had a dream about my dad and I don't know where it came from but I can't handle it and I can't help thinking that maybe if he was still with us maybe I'd be happy
But he's not and I'm not and I don't know how to deal with this
I'm almost fourteen it's been like 9 years since he died
I want to get through this
I can't do it
