Rolling, frothing sea,
Raging like the storm in my mind.
The waves clap like thunder,
But no one else can feel the storm.
Finally the curtain closes,
The lights come back on,
And a zephyr calms the air.
We were young.
We were the amateur picture-takers.
We were happy.
We cried sometimes, though.
We were devastated.
When the going got rough, so did we.
We were cruel.
We hurt, burned, and killed, and we liked it.
We were shallow.
We dressed up and went out dancing, late.
We were drunk.
We nursed our sorrows into countless bottles of Bud.
We were bold.
We were the major world-changers.
We were weak.
We were the stay-in-bed excused ones.
We lived
For a while
But now look at us
The filthy scum of the world,
Tossed out like our baby diapers.
We wanted
To be something
Someday
But instead
All we got
Is the knowledge that
I'm tearing down everything I once knew
Hoping to find a solution
to all our problems
But tonight,
Baby,
We're gonna break away
from everything normal,
everything sane.
Life's been crazy lately
Not much time for "us"
I want things to go back
to the way they used to be
When it was just you
and me
And nothing seemed so far away,
everything seemed within reach,
within touching distance.
But now,
when the norm is ignoring
And I know what it's like to go
from being best friends
to being more than friends
to being strangers,
All in a matter of years,
I want things to change.
I want us to break free,
Break away
Find a shoo
Crying
Trying to forget about it all.
Hiding
From the world, deep inside
My head
Spinning with emotions...
There's nothing left
no outlets
in which to hide from the world.
All I want
Is an escape from the pain
the tears
the sorrow.
But all I've got
is an endless tunnel
of despair.
The curtain closes on my life,
the lights go on
And everyone leaves,
walks away.
But I,
lonely still,
remain,
desperately seeking respite
from the cold, empty solitude
in which I walk alone.
Every breath I take is like a symphony
The words I speak are like a choir
So why is the only thing the world seems to want from me
Is to make the music die?
The pain inside of me reverberates
Like the rain falling on window panes
I want the feeling that a sharp knife makes
When I'm dying and my cracked heart breaks.
When I write this now I'm all alone
With no one and nothing to call my own
Sometimes that symphony fades away
I wish there came the day
I wish there came the day when it would all go away.
I wish there came the day when the world would sway and it would all go away.
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
Sometimes in life
All I want to do
Is sit on my bed
Wearing my hat
Like a crown
I can be king of the world
If only for a second,
But when I take a deep breath
And open my eyes again
It's like nothing has changed-
I still don't matter.
