I'm scared for you
I'm scared enough for two
I'm sorry I missed you
Really, though, it's true.

I'm sorry for rain
I'm sorry for all your pain
I'm really just too vain
I'm sorry for the strain it caused you.

I'm really so scared
I'm really wishing you cared
I'm sorry I hurt you
Really, it's true,
But I'm scared for my soul
I'm scared for you, too.

I am taunted
By men who are
Haunted by stars
Falling on their heads.

I am followed
By women
Swallowed by men
Stepping on their toes.

I am captured
By humans
Raptured by words
Filling up their heads.

I am humbled
By words
Mumbled by lips
Fooling all their heads.

I finally get it
What those songs are about
I finally get it
Why they fill me with doubt
I finally get it
Why you blushed so red
I finally get it
Why that filled me with dread
I finally get it
Why I can't stop screaming
I finally get it
That I'm just deep dreaming
I finally get it
Why I can't enjoy the view
Because I'm hoping for the day
When these lies stop tasting like you.

****** my heart
****** my hand
****** my finger,
with a shiny band.
Steal my mind
Steal my life
Steal my soul,
call me your wife.
Take my fear
Take my sores
Take my love,
it is yours.

To slave away at words and rhyme
Is not a curse or plague.
It is a skill that can be taught,
Though the lessons rather vague.

Anguish is
Not enough miracles
Not enough time
Not enough words in my head
To form a decent rhyme

Anguish is
Too many worries
Too many fears
Too many prayers to a god
Asking for more years

Anguish is
So much hope
So much doubt
So much hurt in the world
The hope gets pushed out

Burn your bridges to the ground
Until the day you look around
And see you've bridged the gap
Between your momma's lap
And adulthood and see the people you hated
Have all been abated
Because you are the strongest
For surviving the longest
Nights when you cried
And your soul almost died
Without having the chance
Of taking a stance
Against everyone who put you down.
