We're best friends for ever
We're sisters till the end
Then I can't stand you
all the rumor's you spread

I love you
I hate you
we're friends
but we're not

Our friendship has a shiny exterior
but it's really just rust
A shiny red apple
full of rot

I love you
I hate you
we're friends
but we're not

This is a message to my country and to the President.
Today and everyday you write bills,
you talk to your people, drink coffee,
While we do our duties for this country,
I paid my debts with my short life.

I walked this long and boring road keeping you and your kids safe Mr. President,
But did I make it home to my family safely?
I stood alone fighting over seas,
while you sat in your nice, warm, leather seat.
I had a family at home, Mr. President,
and now I can’t see them again.

I was lost to this fight, between countries, fighting other fathers.
To you, what do the stars and stripes stand for?
To me, I thought they stood for freedom, Not wars and taxes?
Are salaries and taxes worth more than my life?
You tell me, Mr. President, you choose which one to come back home,
Our soldiers or our salaries?

A bridge of sorrow,
A river of tears
Carving canyons into her mind
A heart in a billion pieces,
Never to be put back together
A head hung in shame,
Hanging there forever
A long burnt out flame,
Ashes gone cold in the night
A million wishes never granted
She wants to forget but time won’t allow it
A rose withered on the vine
A light that never got to shine.

People will point and people will whisper
Honey, just walk past them, they aren’t worth your time
They will tell stories and spread rumors
Darling hold your head high
Somebody will knock you down
Just stand up straighter and shake off the dust
They will laugh and say what they want
But baby, hit’em where it hurts
They may think they are better than you
Keep on running and you’ll end up in first
Someone may think they can get through life without a hitch
But sweetheart, believe me Karma’s a *****

I want to run long and far away,
to a place unknown to all.
To a place where I am me and only me.
A place where I can dry
my tears and throw away my fears.

I want to climb the tallest mountain,
and stand at the top and
laugh for no reason at all.
Laugh at my victory,
and feel the euphoria in the cool air,
laughing among the clouds.

I want to dance beneath the
stars, their pinpoints of light
shining down on me.
Dancing in the night air,
with no one around to see.
Landing in the cool grass to
stare up at the beauty scattered like
pebbles in the night sky.

I kissed the lips of my Prince Charming

If only I had realized I was looking into the eyes

of my Bluebeard

Dirt obstructs the view
of the world.
Deceit pours from mouths
like rain from clouds.
We tread on paths
of treachery.
They lead us to oceans
of lies.
Our minds create
twisted tales.
We lay beneath our covers
hiding from the truth.
But the skeletons in the closet
have come out to play.
And the ***** laundry of the night
hangs high in the day.

My independence I craved
The one thing you decided to take

What if I'm not who I seem?
Maybe I'm not as happy as my smile tries to be.
Maybe life is just dragging me along,
pulling me to my destiny.
Maybe I'm not swimming through this ocean,
but sinking to the darkest depths of the sea.
Maybe this isn't the beginning of my story,
instead  these are the last words for you to
read.
