how it would feel so right
how beautiful the sight
a vision of us smiling in the moonlight
resurrection only in fiction
my favorite souls living again
feeling pain
feeling the rain
ive walked down many roads
ive seen many things
every time i look down bullet lane
i see their faces
wandering if could have said anything
i rack my brain
one time with cocaine
sometimes with aderall
it really all feels the same
now im trying to play the game
stay in the game they say
it’ll all be okay
i want to scream loud enough
loud enough for all the world to hear
loud enough to shake the galaxy
loud enough to scare the aliens
loud enough to make the universe hear
loud enough to make it listen to me
loud enough to wake the dead
loud enough to change the road ahead
i have a price on my head
everyone sees it but me
see how many times you can hurt me
see how many times ill stand back up
see how many times ill doll myself up
just to be chewed and coughed back up
my demons reward them with a shiny new ego
brighter than a child’s eyes
eyes that used to be mine
“there are some things that we cannot change
some things that are out of our control
things we do not choose
what we do choose however
is whether to give up
or keep on goin’”
i used to search with only my hands
in a dark room i stumbled and fell
held on to things that helped me stand
unstable and detached
i fell and fell again
things i couldn’t see punched me
in the gut
in the face
in the heart
hands were all over me
and i couldn’t see
i can’t explain it
a light came to me
purple and blue
something familiar and warm
something i could see
tall and quiet
loving and bright
with her came another light
a warm red
she’s a reminder of my blood
a reminder of what it means to be alive
she’s a wild ride
loving with both heart and mind
one with beauty she has yet to define
with a heart made of diamonds
and a mind open to the elements
and hands so eloquent
she’s hurt by the world
loving too much
blaming herself
little light of mine
forget the world for a second
you can still shine
one with fires she cannot quench
she clenches her heart until she cannot fall apart
she’s used to this storm
when she smiles i feel warm
she’s armor in its best form
a phoenix out of the ashes
she just has to transform
she inspires me to push through
through the fire of life
little light of mine
forget the world for a second
you can still shine
