don't go looking for love,
love will find you

if you go looking for love,
you are leaving yourself vulnerable to sharks

and they are everywhere, blood thirsty
so be careful, to not go searching for love

I'm just going to wait, I'm not going to make a move. If someone really likes you it will happen.

it's my birthday soon

when she turned 6 she asked for an art kit
so she could turn her dreams into drawings

when she turned 10 she asked for a curling iron
so she could be as pretty as the girls in the magazines

when she turned 14 she asked for books
so she could make something of herself

but when she turned 17 she asked to die
because she realised that she would never be anything special and dreams don't come true

dead inside

'Take a shower', she said
As if it's going to wash off my mood
But I'm not tired mum
Can't you see that I'm suffering?

The pain is on the inside
It's in my mind and I can't escape it
I want to be in the dark alone
Leave me alone forever

.disconnecting myself.

Car rides

Beautiful girl behind a closed door
Open up I want to hear more
Take my hand for the night holds the unknown
And I don't want to be left on my own

You're turning around, hiding from the truth?
Let go of your past and enjoy your youth
Don't go back to the person who fears the light
Take my hand, come into the night

curiosity** kills
everyone seems so eager for the thrills
we all partake to have a good time
wasting every penny, every dime
ruined houses and ruined hearts
we all expose our scared pasts
don't trespass into our crimes
we are the kids who will ruin your minds

— The End —
