words sung; lines thought
my satisfaction; imprisonment.
books read; tears shed
the fictional deaths stick with my head.
black or white keys; left or right technique
quavers or chords.
restless; anxious
my expectations and my standards
sleepless nights and bloodshot eyes;
broken strings and dinted lids;
i just wanna ride on a carousel then i'll be fine
or sing a song to a lonely soul who needs some light
just like mine
we will find ourselves in the midst of what we don't know
we will learn the most in the moments when we're uncomfortable
but it's not fair you once did say
the sun will set but i will stay
i've got so many thoughts, it's no coincidence
that i will push myself further than i should
but i want what i want.
even if i lose control
i will stand strong even though
it will never be enough

walking down the street i have the light on my left, above and to my right
singing kids facing the sky
weeping willows and hanson singing out favourite songs
only comes once
and if you're lucky you'll surround with love
but if you're stubborn or confused or frightened i'd agree
to say that feeling nothing is still something worth being
cause i'm sure that bukowski at some point did love living
be the ignorant! be the free!
what happened between the age of 13
and 19 - well thats something i find hard to explain
were poisoned by the thought that being a child wasn't great
fed by lights and screens and pictures that could never be
once the ignorant, once the free
all your thoughts and all your dreams aren't as close as they seem
all your plans of starting something are all incomplete
but i woke up and ran out the house
and i looked up and fell to my knees
and i screamed
cause you can't tell me what i can't be
and you can't tell me that what i see
can't be real
cause we started something
while you're alone judging
what i should have been
well fuck you for thinking
that just for a second
i would lower myself
