it took three years, it took all that panic
anxiety, insomnia, emotions cycled like I was an addict
my mind got the best of me, left me stranded in an attic
and after all the time, that happiness is back in
these people always thought "lazy kid, another slacker"
when my mind was in a place, that much blacker
always believed in fantasy, happily ever after
now I'm just playing back this game of life like I'm sitting in a rafter
that laughter, those moments
I have this life and now I own it
I'm promoting that motivation, with the passion coating
and toting these dreams
life is better than it's ever been
feelings sides of me that I've never seen
but it's my time now
darling, I'm fine now
I'm happy right now
look at the stuff I'm typing out

it always used to be that sad stuff
it always used to be that mad stuff
it always used to be that bad stuff
but now I picked my head back up

it always used to be that downer ****
it always used to be that dead flower ****
but now I'm all about that power, ****
stronger than ever

I'm living life sunny like February
after being so cold in December

the precedent a disaster,
the future a glow
with those dreams up high falling like snow
and I'm rowing my boat
because this year I refuse to sink
last year my mind my worst nightmare
this year all I want to do is think
and earn and try
defy my mind making me want to cry
and look behind to something I want no reminder
tick tock, the timer
this year my love, I lay behind her
reaching for those stars above,
these words written, finding myself
through those past sad poems spread among my binder
i will reach for those stars in the sky until i cant fly higher
no more relying on the web, no longer a spider
but im a tiger, im the predator and these dreams are the prey
finally finding myself, it was harder than a needle in the hay

im finally finding myself, and rather than a phobia of tomorrow
that bottled up sorrow, that sad mad kid
im going for the goal
ill pull off a hat trick

you are a part of me, no longer good
a malignant tumor, that's what's understood
you make me feel pain, selfish for your pleasure
I'd give up a lot, just to have you severed
because I no longer want to see you when I wake up,
I no longer want to see you when I sleep
I no longer want you to be a part of me anymore
you make me so sick I can't eat
you treat me like garbage, you throw me out cause I'm a bother
you are the filthy one, like unfiltered water
please let these thoughts of you escape me,
I'm locked in this prison and it's nothing but anxiety I'm given

I loved you once, why do I still care?
why do I see you in my mind?
I wish you weren't there
but I can't help but feed on the good
when you just feed on my sad
these memories once were good
now all they are, are bad

my heart is a violin, you played with my heart strings
I was hungry for love, but now for happiness I'm starving
darling, my mind is a movie theater and it's our memories I'm watching
scarring my mind, you're still a part of me
but now I can give up trying to be what you want to see
honestly, the memories are good but I want an eraser
because when I say goodbye, I'll just see you in my mind later
you colored my life with marker, but now I'm starting to see grayer
I disfavor everything that we turned to
you lit my paper heart and I'm sorry that it burned you
I turned to the worst, I got out of hand
spilling dramatic feelings like an emotional soda can
but I had the right to be angry and people are different when they're mad
although you knew you had the knife, and you even took a stab
so is it my fault? it's what I wonder in the ending
because everything was so flawless from that perfect beginning
but I guess we're mismatched puzzle pieces, we can no longer connect
so I'm left with your frog bag of memories, trying to dissect
electing for the memories to go and pass me like a car
but I can only throw my baseball of a heart so far,
and so far it really ***** but I guess it's for the better
and you'll always be a part of me, but no longer warm me like a sweater
and so far it really ***** but I guess it's for the better
things would be different if it was later that I met her

our relationship is akin to an 8-year-old,
I'm warm near you, but far away I get cold,
I spy you in my thoughts, I want to hold you like a bat
let us hold each other, sitting on that grade school mat
we play hide and seek with our words, we hide our anger and seek love
and try to grip it tight like a club with a golf glove,
attempting to settle the score even if we play for fun
because we're both just trying to be each others #1
but sometimes our words fight, cops and robbers
and after we'll regret it because really, why bother
we can quote old movies, "I am your father."
until we are old, and I sat to our kids "I am your father."
let us grow old with wrinkles, our love will stay young
we can play these childish games, but with this rare love
we've already won

the loneliness is akin to the air,
as close and tight as my own flesh and blood,
these veins like roots in my tree of a body
from which leaves of things sprout upon my mind;
my hands attempt to grasp that thin air
as if I had the ability to empower it,
but I'm suppressed by the notion of my own thoughts;
they stab these bars around me like a prison,
the bars slowly gravitate towards me locking in
and it's overwhelming;
my voice has as much influence as a pebble on earth
and no matter how much I may beg or scream,
it will not do a thing for me but let those bars crush me
until I am nothing but dust, nothing but a pebble on earth

I feel lost in the world, weightless at will
floating away, zero gravity pill
lost balloon, myself to ****
because the good is the bad
and the bad is the real
because dreams distort,
mirror in a funhouse
and you keep having fun
until they turn the lights out
and then the lights on,
sun shining in your face
reality is not my destination
ready to get lost in space;
you can catch me staring off
like a wonderland on the horizon
see something unique and
it is what I set my eyes on
so when the teachers yell
I just look and sigh long
dreams bright like nylon
and you can see in the distance
but along that route
you'll get lost in an instant
give me a map, not happy
because my route is not reality
paranoid, delusional
thinking everybody is mad at me
people are good, maybe I'm just bad at me
my good ran out like it was a battery,
they drop me like a mirror
yet they don't shatter me,
everyone like a clone,
earths a human factory,
I want to get lost in space
weightless, zero gravity
