Breakthrough

It's like the kids on the white house lawn sticking flowers in guns. Only this time, someone takes a swing for their friend screams for their sister, brother, mother and I can't bother to try to hold this back again without your arms keeping me in. You want me to break through- when it fades, it comes back stronger. You hold every particle of oxygen between the gaps of your teeth keeping me on the edge of my seat because I can't breathe until you speak. Us verses the world or you against me, something needs to break so we can rebuild it. A rock isn't eternal, it erodes and the roads in every city have heard someone cry at least once in their lonely lives. Destroy the foundation, build up from the bottom. Stick roses in guns and worship each other. That's enough.
