Alcohol in your veins
burdens itching at my brain
stolen jewelry cant hold us together anymore
mom says life's never going to be the same.
There's girls refusing food in America,
and children being starved in Africa.
The world has become chaos' b*tch
cops bodies are being found in a ditch
"but really, who even gives a sh*t"?
.
.
.
I filled my ears with lighter fluid
in hopes I could come up with an idea
hot enough to create a spark
then just maybe I could rescue my mind out from this dark.
But I'm 17 years old mom, and truth be told
I know nothing of marriage or divorce.
I have grown weary from this game you call Therapy
and I love you, but it looks like our time is up.
World wide news has etched a tangible worry into his head
trying to replace his heart with 3 parts anger to 2 parts alcohol.
Kids are being beaten,
Teens are huffing glue
Husbands are watching porn
making sure to leave their wives at the door.
Prozac, Effexor and Celexa
Valium, Vodka and Zyprexa
and 4 years worth of Lunesta.
The world's at war
She lived her childhood locked outside her parents door,
But day his dead body hit the floor?
.

I couldn't say that I knew you anymore.

I wonder what has happened to this world we live
I grew up thinking we all had so much to give
and
I hate to admit
but
I feel i'm losing the will to forgive
.
.
.
I have this vision I replay in my head
one where everyone that we hated was dead..
I never met you in that parking lot
and he was nothing but a mere signature on a goodbye document.
I know I cant change mine...But you can change yours.
So please come forward and leave that cowardliness at the door.
Stop waiting for god to give you a sign
I know you're just biding your time
and I guess....that's fine
but its not going to be when you're shivering alone underneath the dirt.
It's almost become a countdown
from when I was 5,
and who knows if you'll make it to 20.
115,

99,
Stop.
Stop because I love you.
Stop because he loves you.
The world is at war, and so are we.
The world is at war, and so is she.
so are you.. and I just wanted to tell you
That I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
Cut those puppet strings and lets us 3 go be
lonely together.
lonely together.
