Take me away for a while.
Give me an offer I can’t refuse.
I need a distraction,
Something,
Anything
That will get you out of my head.
I’m not supposed to be thinking about you.
Not today,
Not ever.
And I’m not supposed to be happy
That you’re thinking about me, too.

The world we live in is a Cruel, vicious place,
where the lowest in society is used as toys to the rich,
implements of torture is no longer used for punishment.
Now, for the pleasure and the merriment.
What good out of the agony and distress gives you satisfaction?
Ask yourself are you human ?
A human,would have beared compassion.
Not like those
But, i understand,
even if i don't,
That times have changed.
This is the modern society. Attitudes changed. People change!
We do what we have to do to adjust  with amendments made.
Some say 'life was better back then'.
Was it?
The slavery, the long winter wars, the awful hierarchy.
How is it all better?
Maybe it was. Maybe it was not.
everything fits into place now.
Technology is our distraction from the world around us.
It's for the best'
How would i know?
Life clearly isn't a fairy-tale.
Maybe that is a good thing. Maybe... Not
What is Reality?
I was inspired by an street artist's paintings of what depicted society. Some of us have underestimated life and took what we had for granted. I am not going to tell you crap that people always do. Like, -Be grateful. Cause i don't think i can do anything about the way you think and the way you act. It's up to you. Not me YOU. Maybe the way you think is right. But What i think doesn't matter its you
Who are you
Who am I
I’ve got something to tell you
And I don’t know why
But I’ve…
I’ve kinda fallen for you
Again

And there’s still another girl
I’ve got my eye on
And I’ve seen her looking at me
Yeah I think she’s perfect
And god knows she's worth it
Yeah I think I could make this work

[Chorus]
Because sometimes all that’s needed
Is a simple…                  distraction?
And yeah she looks just like you
But she loves me too
Maybe it’s just my mind
Craving something new
But when I’m with her
I can’t seem to remember you…

And I know
I don’t know how
I’m going to tell you
But I can’t keep these feelings bottled inside
Yeh I gotta let them flow
But I’m afraid you won’t feel the same
And if you don’t then you might let all your friends know

[Chorus]

But every time you look my way
Can I say it makes my day
I just can’t keep the feelings away
And I’ve just gotta tell you
Whenever I’m with you
Life just feels okay

[Chorus]

Yeah yeah
My heart no longer wants…
You…

Daydream,
I don’t care when
And I don’t really care
Why.
Just do it.
Although,
At times
It may seem like
It’s just a waste of time
That it just gets
Your hopes up.
What else are you supposed to do?
Think of nightmares?
The things that make you,
Cringe,
Curl up,
And cry?
I know, I know
Its just a day dream,
It will probably
Never
Ever
Happen,
But that’s a dream.
They’re supposed to be there.
For you.
When nothing
And no one is.
They protect,
Your hope.
And I know,
Nightmares
Are easier,
To believe in,
They seem
Real.
But day dream,
You’ll be happier.
For a while.

A tweet outside controls my focus
repetitive and continuous.
I grit my teeth.
It stops and makes me anxious,
I wish it to come back.
Odd birds to fight
with me.
Fly away and leave me be.
Machinery outside, the bird, it changes form.
Construction of a noise,
It remains unconcerned.

Why do I give you this hold on me?
I've let you in year after year, and you say I'm in your world too.
Yet the facts point to something else.
You hide from me. You put limits on what we are and what we could be.
You lie. Good intent or ill will has yet to be determined,
however, to me, a lie is a lie. And you know that.

You act as if I'm just a side show in your life.
Something that can be there for your entertainment if the main event isn't what you hoped for.
I'm a distraction.
And I can feel it.

The one willing to do anything for you is the one you want the least.
It's a curse I've put on myself by waiting on you hand and foot for years.
Unnoticed and underappriciated.

The little recognition I get comes few and far between.
You say I'm everything you want,
but actions speak louder than words.
So far, your actions have hurt
a deep soul wrenching pain of questioning inside my heart.
"Why her and not me?
She doesn't treat him well.
She isn't there when he breaks."

But in the end, she is the one he'll run to.
Always.

Raindrops dance on my shoulders
as the fires inside of me
begin to smoulder.

Distraction is an amazing thing.

Inhale
Exhale
No thoughts just breathing
Inhale
Exhale
No regret just breathing
Inhale
No self pity just breathing
No worries about tomorrow just breathing
No thoughts of...
Oh, right
Exhale
Inhale
Exhale
Just breathing
Meditation, hard but rewarding

As I feel the heartbeat through my body a constant reminder of an inner hobby a thing that makes me a person maybe not so free a constant relief of tension to redirect the emotion to bring distraction to a constant reminder that your not here all it's ever done is endive fear who am I to turn away run again who am I to leave again to bring myself to run free again who am I to just give up and leave behind a whole life of love who are you to walk away leave me here for another day I can believe that I'll stay when I just wanna run away to my dismay you run away so far away to leave behind what I am but why I tried I cared I cried for you to see what inside me... But not enough I must grow tough to run away and leave this place.... As tears come raining down my face
Something freeflowing... Came out when I was in grievance
