Swear to God, they would toss every firecracker aside if they saw just how fast you spark up.
Faster than the blink of your tear thats slithers down your weathered cheek you can go 0-80 miles an hour, all screeching tires and pumping veins.
Let them seeΒ Β how quick you shatter glass and thenΒ Β how you'd cut your own hands just to put it back together before anyone saw the blood.
Tell them about the screaming lions in your chest.
I wish you never caged them.
Shatter mirrors and arrange them back in jagged order so they actually reflect the same thing you see.
I saw you crow counting, heart pounding, sirens sounding lying in the grass.
Did the earth ever speak to you? Or were the wolves howling too loud.
I wish you never caged them.
