We act as if we are different,
that this scenario doesn't match us,
so why should I help?
I am a lion crying for my forest,
why should I stop the penguin's glaciers from melting?
"They will just have more area to swim..."
I am a businessman working for my family,
why should I give my hard earned money to the dying?
"They should work past their problems... Like I did!"
I am an artist who lives within themselves,
my life is harder than that homeless man's.
"He probably does drugs anyways...".
And we move on,
set on our personal goals,
never looking back,
but expecting all others to at least glance.

With a sky so bright
My eyes should be brighter
With a world so wide
My heart should feel wider
With a life so light
My heart should be lighter
When you have no good reason for feeling down

Things I told you to keep
which were held so deeply to me
All you had to do was not to tell
yet you did and now it dwelled

You swore you never lie
cross your heart and hope to die?
You made yourself the devil slave

unfortunately you'll be soon entering the purgatory grave!

i cant say i love you, that's too selfish of me,
because i disappear into myself.
a lot.
it's cool that you don't question me,  
don't blink an eye -you take it as it is,
as i am--
and i love that.
it thaws me out and pushes me back to the surface.
i gasp for air, like i actually want to breathe,
i want to live.
you,
just being here.
that, that's everything.
i can't say i love you
because its selfish.
all i am, is all i have to offer.

I'm cold,
so cold,
be my sun and shine on me,
be the energy to give me a gleam.
I'm selfish,
so selfish,
so succumb to my needs,
be my mother's ****,
comfort me and let me eat.
Now I am alive,
and you are cold,
but I still need more,
I will be so bold,
and leave you on the floor,
as my insatiable thirst for strength grows,
I will turn away and raise my nose,
for when you die it is not my fault,
you gave to much,
so take that worth a grain of salt.
We used to speak all day, every day
You were my best friend, my sole source of comfort
But now we talk and you get annoyed and I can't help but wonder
Where are we going? What happened to the us that I knew?

There's no time anymore, we're drifting apart
I cling to you like a limpet, you must hate it
I'm sorry all the time and you must be sick of it and I just think
Should I let you go? Should I let you have a life without me?

That's what you must want
Right?
You tell me different
Lies
I'm not stupid
Well
I can see what's happening
Hate
I don't want to be me
Sorry
If 'me' isn't the person you want to be friends with
Fear
I'm so selfish keeping you by me
Be
Free

You fly away when I want to hold you and you fly away when I don't give you attention.

What kind of bird are you?
