Attempts at reforming
Don't stop global warming
Your valiant best efforts
Impress no one less
Than another dead kid or more
Under arrest,
Can't rebuild it back better
Endeavor to change
What won't work
About status quos
Stuck in their ways
And updates
To the program's
Internal software
Are no cure for the virus'
Lack of prepared
So compare all your prices
The shipping lane's closed
And submit to mandated,
Free-traded,
Imposed

you hate seeing me like this but you knew i was unstable
wish that you could understand but i know that you're unable

and love we can give it a good try
but that doesn't guarantee that we'll fly

you gotta prepare for this to hurt
if things go sour i want you to save yourself first

if and when the time comes that we find ourselves parting
do not worry about me darling

i've grown used to this kind of pain
i want you to run far far away

won't see you swallowed by my demons
ashamed i even allowed you to see them

turned my panic into ours
let my fear make me a coward

showed you things you can't unsee
now you'll always feel attached to me

but i need you to let me go
love you too much to bleed you out so slow

In being alive

my heart opens to sing

all else I set aside

such joys does the moment bring-



in being alive

love blooms as in sweetest spring

in bliss I abide

there's splendour in everything

sometimes people are toxic
but since they don't have fangs
their poison must be ingested
and thus their power does wane
for we have the freedom of choice
when blighted words waft our way
to listen and swallow their venom
or simply to walk away
