I wish I could go back and just have fun a little longer,
sit and listen to that song before it felt so somber.
I wish I could go back in and make more friends,
because those good grades don't feel good and don't give these nights ends.

I wish I could go back and talk more,
I enjoyed those nights in the car,
blasting weezer,
with my sister,
but those never really the nights when I needed it,
I just wanted what she had,
but now I'm here and they're calling me mister,
ive grown up just like my sister
but now I know why she liked those sad songs and night time drives

Someday maybe my heart will be free and these words will float for everyone to see, like smoke from these pine trees

If you take the time to get inside someone else's mind its hard to mistake what you find with these mistakes because what you did was not ok,
but you are perfect like we all are

I'm bleeding
and
I don't want it to stop

and then
I think of you
and I just let the tears drop

I don't know how to express my feelings;
you don't know who I am.

So maybe
I should carve the letters into my skin
so you can understand

I'm not a pretty person
You can't see me inside
And those I've shown it to
Just run away and hide

So if I can't express the pain
and no one understands
I guess I'll show my feelings
with my own two hands.

tears you hold back
do the only reasonable thing.
first they fill your feet and hands
and make it hard to dance.
then they fill your heart and lungs
and make it hard to sing.
and when they finally reach your eyes
well, it's not for want of try.
for tears you hold back
do the only reasonable thing.

i just want it all
hoping i wont fall
in the end it means nothing at all.

because once you rise,you always fall.

This name
she gave
to that ego
we know
and don't know..
Out of humility
the self ITSELF
declares..
a simple entrance
but never alone..
accompanying is
a serpentine
uncoiling
some large and
some small..
our life chore
is recognition
keeping our Eye
on these our
slithering friends..
and knowing
no matter how
skinny they
don't disappear..
and this more:
their fond wish
merely to grow..
