Some days
All that holds me is a thread
And there I stay dangling

Some days
The scissors close in
And nearly cut me down

Some days
I struggle to hold on
And sometimes I wish to slip
But I don't.

I hold on
To my little thread
As the scissors close in

Helpless
Stranded
Alone

But then I see a light at the end of the tunnel
It tells me to hold on
And it keeps my little thread away from the scissors

Though I'm stuck here
All alone
I've found something
To call home
Don't let the scissors snip your strings,
Don't let the non believers clip your wings
Turn up the silence and block out the sun,
Alone in my room, a bottle and a gun.
It goes click twice, I'll see another day,
Tears start to fall, can't carry on this way.
I don't know
How they
Can sleep at night
After hurting
One who is
Different
And laughing
Because they did

I don't know
How I
Can sleep at night
After knowing
That
Such horrible
People exist
Because they do

I look around
And all I see
Is Humans
Without Humanity

How will we survive
Without
Mercy
Caution
Love
Without hurting us all
How can I
Stand up
When all you do
Is kick me down

How can I
Breathe
When all you do
Is choke me

How can I
Learn to fly
When all you do
Is hold me down

How am I
Suppose to live like this?

Always drowning
Craving the light
Trying to break free with all my might

When all you do
Is kick me down
And I get pushed
To the ground

And I break
Once more

And I have to
Piece myself together
All over again
So you can break me again
Like china
One day we'll out run the monsters,
One day we'll live without fear,
One day we won't have to keep running,
One day they'll all disappear
I remember that when we were little
We use to jump on your couch
Our dads would hold us upside down
And we laughed until we couldn't stop

I remember that when we were young
We use to dream about the world
We'd try to make the impossible reality
And we'd love life as it is

Can you believe all that's happened?
As the years have gone by
Didn't it feel like magic
Playing under the sky with our minds going above

We had the world in our hands
Our heads with the stars
Our eyes in a fantasy
And the magic was still in our hearts

I remember two years back when life just couldn't keep up
We were zooming past the galaxy
Nothing could stop us
And we both knew that together we could rule the world

I still have the magic in my heart
And I carry the memories
And I love them
To this very day

It seems that you have lost the magic
That you gave away the memories
That you don't care what happened
That you don't remember to this day

Now we barely talk at all
Unless its to say thanks

Now you went back home to New York
But
You didn't say
Goodbye
tsrtuoery
Do you have that one person
Who always seems to know what to say
To make everything okay?

I sure hope so
And I hope that he never goes
Far far away

I know that he'll never be my foe
And he'll never leave me in tow
And that he'll help me when my spirit begins to fray

Oh how I can't wait to meet him
The one who keeps the monsters at bay
Some day
For my dear brother Julian
