The smoke rises
and soon the stars in the sky look like coordinates
and you count the way each set of three makes a triangle.
This view makes you feel happy that you're still stuck in the suburbs
but then you begin to feel scared because you're still stuck in the suburbs
(maybe the view is better elsewhere)
I miss my best friend
and I know that if I lean over this balcony any further -  I'll be dead.
Suddenly you're glad you aren't dead.
and suddenly you're scared because you could be.
Feedback and comments are welcome!

I have the heart of a believer and the mind of a skeptic
Some say it's a gift, I say it's tragic
I live in a universe of chaos inside my head
Who among us is truly at peace but the dead?
you can't escape the cages of your own mind.

Who thought he was in infallible
He always rejects the blame

Goes the girl
Who thought her heart was guarded
But whenever she heard his name

The boy was falling,
and slowly failing
With his naive mind
And nonchalant heart
He hopes for the best
But expects the worst
And lets things be
So he wont have to do his part

The girl was falling,
and slowly hurting
With her aching knees buckling
And her strong spirit crumbling
She thought she could be
His lone savior, his lone queen

went the girl through the sky
The atmosphere cutting against her skin
And he set her on fire
As she warmed up to him
Foolish play with sparks
Until he ran out of matches
And left her alone
Flames burned out
Glowering embers in the dark
We were both falling... only in opposite directions

This isn't any of your BUSINESS
Why do you care about
What I'm doing ?
HOW I'm doing it?
When I'm doing it ?
Let me satisfy your thoughts by letting you know to

Mind Your BUSINESS
She gave me a sense.
A sense that maybe life wasn't too bad after all.

But those chains were broken when the truth came out.
I was no lover,
Not even a friend.
I made a decision,
that would would soon end.

But I know that if I wait,
There may still be hope.
Rather send flowers,
Than hang from a rope.

It is true you have hurt me,
Many time before.
But even through the pain,
I run straight back for more.

Little did I know,
That what lay ahead.
Could be amother memory,
That fell in my head.

She makes the wind blow warm.
The sun shine bright.
And I know for a fact,
I won't give up this fight.
For the girl who I love so much but the feeling don't meet.
Some call me insane
But it's my sanity that made me this way
