Pinstriped suit Black briefcase clink of heels On marble floors imposing glass walls Emails coming in Emails coming in Slacks and a tshirt Powderblue backpack Red hightops on gravel lockers on walls Students coming in Students coming in Oak desk Open door Client comes in Check the emails "I want a divorce" turn to the client turn to the client Blackboard Open door Students stream through Smile in greeting "Recess 'aint long enough" Open up textbooks Open up textbooks Client cries Keep professional poise nod in understanding Show no weakness "He won't sign the papers" Just nod Just nod Students protest explain over the noise try to make them love it show no weakness "who cares abour 1945?!" I care I care Go home Collapse onto the Black leather sofa in front of the plasma screen TV Instant noodles for dinner Instant noodles for dinner Go home Collapse onto the stained, worn-out fouton the kids badger for some television time Put the roast in the oven Put the roast in the oven The neighbors open their doors turn to watch yours remian tight shut Noone to expect Noone to come home to Noone to come home to The key turns in the lock turn to see him walk in bag of groceries in hand Dinner's almost ready Dinner's almost ready TV programs over Noodles devoured papers signed emails replied to slip into bed In bed alone In bed alone Children fed and bathed television switched off homework assistance provided papers graded husband made love to Someone to hold on to Someone to hold on to Bathtub full of Cranberry scented foam Water's cold now Body's cold now Cold blade on Cold marble floor So much blood So much blood Alarm goes off Wake the children Pack the lunches Make the breakfast Read the paper Such a sad sad suicide Such a sad sad suicide Bathtub full of Cranberry scented foam Water's cold now Body's cold now Cold blade on cold marble floor So much blood So much blood Hold him close So much warmth Hold the kids tight Transfer body heat Why did she die? She had it all She had it all Nobody to inheret The condo with a view The money in the bank The diamond earrings the workload Nobody to miss Nobody to miss Hold him close So much warmth Hold the kids tight Tarnsfer body heat Why did she die? She had nothing She had nothing

tears come down my face. not a usual thing for a person like me, born pained, and living numb. all i want is to run from all that i am, and all i ask is that will you come with me? but my fear is that, you will say no. like everyone else. no one ever stayed, and i got a feeling that I, myself, want to leave this body of mine. what you said is that we are the same, dying inside, smiling outside. no one will ever know the difference between us, but i do, i really do. i would give all my veins and bleed for you, but you wouldn't take a scratch for me. the dream of mine to go away with you will remian mine, and never shared with you.

Ride or die I try to survive And remian vibrant But they smear the lines Blurring my life with things Set against me Making negetive things Represent me So ride with me On this voyage To the netherworld Die with me in this world So we can live happy in the next world Be my right hand when there's nothing left When my time is next When our way of life is two complexed Stay with me when my morale is exhuasted My pain is extensive, Visions of my death are vivid Ride with me, Die with me Let the two coinside Our bond be tight Twisted and intertwinded Until our minds combine Bring your heartbreak I'll bring my pain We can ride with eachother Until the end of our days

Ride Or Die

Ride or die I try to survive And remian vibrant But they smear the lines Blurring my life with things Set against me Making negetive things Represent me So ride with me On this voyage To the netherworld Die with me in this world So we can live happy in the next world Be my right hand when there's nothing left When my time is next When our way of life is two complexed Stay with me when my morale is exhuasted My pain is extensive, Visions of my death are vivid Ride with me, Die with me Let the two coinside Our bond be tight Twisted and intertwinded Until our minds combine Bring your heartbreak I'll bring my pain We can ride with eachother Until the end of our days

The chains around my wirst is where I stand Working a system just to stay with the program Who I loved and who I hate I cant recall The real world is outside these four walls The fact I cant vision my future Holding it together breaking the suture Detain to remian a lost cause But the way i feel is an outlaw We fall and say thats enough Even though life is life we still get back up It best to move on You deserve a better life and for me to be gone Everybody lies but just to protect Cause if we tell the truth than they will neglect.
