Tell me:

When did blowing bubbles
Turn into blowing smoke?

When did soda
Turn into *****?

When did pool parties
Turn into late-night skinny dipping?

When did Smarties
Turn into hydros?

When did sneakers
Turn into high heals?

When did cheek kisses
Turn into ***?

When did juice boxes
Turn into cheap beer?

When did bikes
Turn into cars?

Tell me:

When did growing up
Turn into this?
I wish I loved a poet
so I could be immortalized in words
so stories about me could be written in verse
just once

I wish I loved a poet
so I could be an inspiration
just once

I wish I loved a poet
so I could be the writer
just once

I wish I loved a poet
so I could help them when they realize
that the world of dreams is just that

I wish I loved a poet
so I could teach them of reality
of the beauty and the pain and the mystery

I wish I loved a poet
so I could show them the stars
so I could teach them how to reach them

I wish I loved a poet
so we could watch the night
and wonder

just once
Can a broken heart heal?
Or will it always leak?
Hi, I'm satan
For all to see
I'll tell you a secret
A secret about me

I am a giver
I give you the world
I want you to be happy
Never get bored

When you see the things
That you can't afford
I make a way
So you call me lord
Just sign right here
On the dotted line
Yes it's me
But you are blind

I giggle and laugh
You say you are blessed
Little you know
You're being possessed

Now you're mine
You call me friend
I make you a slave
To he that lends

There was one called Jesus
He figured me out
Turned over my tables
And pushed me about

Now you can see
I've explained the ranks
It's still the same people
That run our banks

"I went to the hospital"
        I remember
"I wanted to stop breathing so you'd come back"
        Don't say that
"I whispered your name when I was asleep"
        You did?
"That's what I was told when I woke up"
       You always have talked in your sleep
"I wanted you to come back"
        *I never wanted to leave
Based on a real conversation

— The End —
