Choose to See the Truth in You

Way down in the Water, I

stand still.

As you want me to,

as Always.

Hide, and Survive.

 

Tired, so exhausted I

am now.

Don’t mess it up, just no,

would you?

Slip, keep silent.

 

He ain’t got no good,

he ain’t got no right,

he ain’t got no chance,

to pick on my Brother.

Make it easier.

 

Take a good, nice sip

of you.

It will never, in a long time,

be enough.

Slowly, be aware.

 

You just can’t see it,

can you?

He just wouldn’t listen,

would he?

You need no to ruin.

 

Dream it Beautifully, with

no sense of dread.

Tend a Rabbit, get a

Garden full with pretty

softy things and,

you’re with me.

 

Have it come true, please,

in a world like this,

with a guy like you,

in so many ways, I

somehow speechless.

 

Help, live it out loud

please help.

I want this I want this,

life could be so cruel

Still, with you I am

safe, as a sleeping

Child in a cave.

You’ve found me.

 

*Because I got you and,

you got me.

We got each other*.

 

As Innocence fade away, all

you have left, son,

is guilt, and there’s no

turning back.

Unsavable, this time.

 

The very Scent of her

takes away the

Smell of the Bunk House.

 

Shut it, don't ever,

you can never lay a

sight on her.

Take it in, for it’s

Not just another hell

I’ve given you.

 

Mean to be lost, him,

alone from the beginning.

Can’t deny so,

you choose to destroy.

Loudly, **** him.

 

*I think I knowed from

the very First*.

Thought I could stop, but

it happens anyway.

Run, not again.

 

Love me, if you’re still

capable to do it.

As all these time, you

know what is the

Best for me,

don’t you?

 

What’s now, I’ll listen,

I really will, and

have them Remember

like I never have.

Leave, let’s not.

 

As you want to,

As you want me to,

As you want me to want us to,

Choose, to see

the Truth in you.

 

You hear it, can

you see? Just, close

Your eyes and imagine.

Bang.
