Oh how I wish I could be your perfect server
You turn to those customers
with your stress ridden eyes
But keep it all masked with that vile business smile

So very slowly I am becoming what it is you need
Soon I will be carrying your ticking metal box
inside the left of my freezing chest
emotions disabled are the settings suited best

And before I realise,
as I leave through this door
I will no longer be able to switch
back to my emotions so pure.

I ask how your day is,
I cannot listen to your response

I exclaim how beautiful the spring is,
it has been years since I gazed at the sun

How am I to ever feel beauty
when I cannot feel at all
How could my work be flawed
when this box remains forever installed

You told me you would never drink to get drunk because you saw how it made your grandmothers marriage fall apart and your dad always yelled loudest with a beer in his hand.
You didn’t want to forget life because I made it beautiful.
Maybe you forgot that now that you’re getting drunk every weekend.
You told me that life was worth more than sitting around clutching a bottle of whiskey because you had seen what it did to people and I know your mom was ***** but that makes no difference to why she would have a different voice when speaking after one drink.
You can’t make all the excuses for her anymore.
I’m not listening.
Maybe you forgot the time she screamed at me so much I cried.
You held me close on the way home whispering
“she didn’t mean it, it’s just the alcohol speaking in her voice”
I wonder if you’re proud of those pictures of you with ping pong ***** and half naked girls but I would think if you were you would post them yourself and not tell Alex to.
The light has left your eyes and even though your mouth is smiling your mind is lost.
Maybe you forgot all you promised me
I wonder where the boy I loved went

probably lost himself in the alcohol on those saturday nights

just like his parents did
you obviously can't keep your promises like I can//it's like the sun set in your eyes, and never wanted to rise again

Sometimes the person who
Makes your blood boil and
Brings irate beats
To your pulse

Can also be the one 
To ease your mind
Or cause you to smile
Uncontrollably

...And I have yet to figure out
How this can be.

I feel the sun
As it stares down
The cold from winter
It’s not around
And as seasons change
Nothing remains the same

The wind it blows
It brushes my face
Honestly I can finally say
I feel alive today

One question that still comes to mind
Why not slow down, just take some time
Every second that we waste
Is a moment we could have made

You only get one chance
So live it right
Regrets make it hard to sleep at night
And as seasons change
Nothing remains the same

You wonder what this worlds coming too
Ask the kids they look up to you
Soon to look after you

So talk it over
Think it through    
Make sure you know
What’s good for you
There are little ears that can hear
They look up to you
Set examples
The standards too
Raise the bar
You know who you are
And as seasons change
Nothing remains the same

if ever you wonder
if ever your heart should grow curious
for lust and love and spirit
electricity that splits the spine
a jolt of lightening
rushing through wide open veins
baby hairs standing on end
on the nape of your neck
a wave of cold sweat
dripping through your hair
moistens your back
if ever a moment passes
if ever you refrain from yelling loud
sing a melody
scream “i love you”
skip through a crowd of people
and smile
laugh
dance
and forget your worry
the temporary madness of yesterday
because you are static, ecstatic
you are wonderful
