Let’s pretend the world won’t end
Let’s be wild, let’s be great
Let’s be something- that as a child
We once could relate

Let us hang from branches
Let us swing up high
Let’s believe our dreams
Won't hear a shuddered cry

Let us yell, let us scream
Let his voice control it
Let the punch hit 17
Across the cheek, we sold it

Let us live without one fear
Humor me, I dare

If we are all but a coincidence
Please tell me not, my dear old friend
I'd rather numb this once again
Than feel it in the flesh

I cant look in the mirror
At 25, I'm not alive
I cannot see things clearer
I’m more clouded, more unwise

I’m saddened by the future
I’m troubled by the  past
And as for the Present,
I fear it just won’t last.

My life itself is a shadow
I can't ever leave
A ****** nose, a broken bone
It's memories that bleed

Leave me, but don’t please
I fear I’m not my own, you see
I’m  stuck and built of bone, you see
Perhaps I am not meant to be

My sadness is the world at large
I feel the things I hear, you see
I don’t know what is meant for me
I’m bent, you see, I’m bent

What do I do- its near, you see
My thoughts are barely here, you see
I am not what my best can be, and please-Don’t judge my fragility

I know the actions I must take,
But listen, it's my life at stake
Much harder is to give, than take
-my fear, I cannot Fake

The World is so much bigger, better
Than any of you who doubt that
Existence itself is worthy of life
god forbid it is unpleasant.

Let’s make a name out of this place
And put it on a plaque that reads:
Someday you’ll make the same mistake
But that You can make it better
