Wash away those tears
It’s the Start of The End
Grab some of your peers
Have some laughs and some beers

Hold your head up high
It’s the Start of The End
Keep both your cheeks dry
And get ready to fly

How could we not see our days are done?
How could we not see past
The fire?
The fire

How could we not see we haven’t won?
How could we not see past
The fire?
The fire

Wash away those tears
It’s the Start of The End
Grab some of your peers
Have some laughs and some beers

Hold your head up high
It’s the Start of The End
Keep both your cheeks dry
And get ready to fly

Honey stop crying
It’s the Start of the End
I think it’s purifying
Think it’s gratifying

Babe put on a grin
It’s the Start of the End
Even when it’s "fin"
Keep it over your chin

Why we miss the writing on the wall?
How could we not see past
The fire?
The fire

Why does the news right just now appall?
How could we not see past
The fire?
The fire

Wash away those tears
It’s the Start of The End
Grab some of your peers
Have some laughs and some beers

Hold your head up high
It’s the Start of The End
Keep both your cheeks dry
And get ready to fly

How could we not see our days are done?
How could we not see past
The fire?
The fire

How could we not see we haven’t won?
How could we not see past
The fire?
The fire

How could we all disappear?
How could the end be near?
It’s hasn’t been long enough

How could our cities just stop?
How could we all just drop?
I thought it was all a bluff

Wash away those tears
It’s the Start of The End
We're gonna meet again
We’ve gotta meet again
We’ve got to meet again
We’ve got to meet again
We’ve got to meet again
We’ve got to meet -
Aka my feelings about America
Brian Hoffman Jul 2017
We parted our ways
I wanted to go with you
But my chaotic mind pulled me to a different direction.

A hug is now a dream
A kiss is like a star
I see your thoughts like an ocean
I hear your voice like the wind

But I never give up on my dreams
I won't stop reaching for the star
I will take the risk of crossing the ocean
I will hear the wind through my heart

So can you wait for me there in my favorite place the far side of eternal?
I'm sorry for letting go. But I needed time to figure my **** out. Now you're gone and you've moved on. :(

Is it ridiculous of me to ask you to turn the music down,
when it is midnight, and all it does is drown
out my reason, my voice, my power.
Yet, somehow I know I will endure this for at least another hour.
You've done it, you're right, you've reached your goal.
Far be it from me to be the one to fight you for control.
You claim that I'm the steamroller and take the happiness from your life?
Anyone can know who does that, all they have to do is ask your wife.
A simple plea is all I made, one taking both of our feelings into consideration,
so how is it that I am left feeling my house is comparable to our nation:
run by an idiotic ill informed bigot,
one who thinks that only all of their thoughts can be the ones right on the dot.
You hope you made it clear, the power you have over me.
We both know you have none, and now all that I can see
is a silly little man spouting nonsense, partially due to his choice of drink,
and if it is not, well I have truly nothing left to think.
Other than you are a disappointment, a sorry excuse for a father and a man
But you are right, I am a girl without a plan
I cannot fathom how to enlighten those who are as narrow minded and as you;
but don't get too comfortable, for I still have much work to do.

I had a woman who I thought ignored my beast like shell and saw the Prince I was on the inside, as I called her my beauty; *now my meloncoly heart must break all over again longing for the day when she comes back to me.

We'll both fall apart
If we try putting each other back together.
Our pieces are limited
And once we start to lose them,
We can build only with what we have.
Katherine Laslie May 2017
This is my only shot at redemption
After all that I've done

Everyone I've hurt
Over my selfish desires
And impulsive turns

I've no choice but to move on
Create a whole new life for myself
Because the person I was born to be
Is now dead

In my mind's sight
This is the only option I have
Otherwise
My physical being
Will turn to nothing
But ash, by my own hands

Letting go is hardly up for debate
But moving on will guide me
Towards that day
And offer me a clean slate

Stripping a rose of its blood red sin
So that, perhaps one day
It can be white again
But the jagged thorns
Offer a reminder:
Just as the scars that surface
And remain eternally,
Portray the dangerous anamour
And the price of vanity
