it was like the fourth of july
with lights and sparks
as your lips touched mine
and we touched hearts
...

Im a middle class white teen
i dont own a single care
about the world or its hunger
or the people in dispair
...

i sat down at the table
trusting her with my heart
fragile to the touch
it could easily fall apart
...

A smile caught me off guard today
as i was walking to a beat
i forgot my futile troubles
as you swept me off my feet
...

i hear a thousand voices
and i am one of them
crying to be heard
like a newborn child
...

you say 'i love you'
but i know what you mean
you just mean as friends
but my love isnt seen
...

like a fourth of july rocket
sparks flew in the air
i peeked and caught your eye
but you didnt seem to care
...

i lost who i was once
in this monster i've become
i've started the war of my heart
but i need it to be done
...

i've gone blank again
an overdose of apathy

scarred with burns
...

bright lit screen
darkened lights
tensioned thoughts
is it right?
...

if i had to tell the truth
these are the words i'd say
about how im truly doing
about how i feel today
...

highschool is a zoo
a tango
a twist
...

With my hands
i held a knife
i held a gun
i held my life
...

a spellbound silence
all i do is stare
but its the magic around us
that we dare to share
...

sweet dreams
im watching you
just waiting
for you
...

i had the pleasure once
to take your love for a spin
welcomed by flashy lights
the promise drew me in
...

i once was broken
left on my own
only my shadow with me
very lost and alone
...

one of those days
again with that time
of strange assurance
and dramatic rhyme
...

out of reach
a winters grasp
stuck inside
a house of glass
...

a bitter space
from in between
a broken face
that cant be seen
...
