Your skin is stained with scars of your own doing.
Your makeup runs down your flushed cheeks.
You've tried to escape from this world full of pain.
But each time, you've been saved.
By someone who wants you to stay.
Someone who loves you.
There's someone watching over you, someone I don't believe in.
Telling you that you need to carry on.
So stay strong and keep marching.
And I will be here to catch you, when you trip and fall.

The rain falls against the window
Sounding like the soft pitter-patter of a child's feet
Lightning flashes
Like the sky is taking a picture
Thunder booms
Like the mighty king of the sky
I lay in my bedroom
Staring up at the glow-in-the-dark stars on my ceiling
I listen to the storm play through its symphony
And carry me off to slumber

There's something about you
And I don't know what it is
You make me feel safe
You make me feel loved
I could talk to you for hours
Just talking about nothing
I could say the weirdest things
And you'd just go right along with it
There's something about you
And I don't know what it is
But I like it

I'm trying to accept
That you have moved on
That you just left me behind
For some beautiful girl
I really hate
That you don't love me any more
But there's one thing
That's really going to crush me
The second I see
You and her together
I will fall apart
And will not be able to be put back together
Tears will fall down my cheeks
And my muffled cries will be heard from afar
I will bleed on the floor
And pound on the walls
Just leave me alone
And let me die on the inside

The cave of a teen is known by others as their room,
This is a place that you enter at your own risk
You may be shouted at
Or greeted with violent music

But this is the home of a teen
Heed the sign that reads "do not disturb"
It was hung for a reason
And a very good one at that

Children look to the teen in aw
But with a twinge of fear at the same time
The old bicker amongst themselves
The teen is too energetic and vibrant for them,

'Tis a pity that the teen should grow old
And become one of those they hate so much,
But the screaming teen will forever be inside you
Let it breath and live your life exactly how you want.
