Forever Rebellious

You take off your socks, out of love and I know                          

I know why the caged birds sings                                                                                            

Your heart is broken and every high school crush              

Is a mountain, climbing just to feel light and feel real                                                                      

But the suffocating weight of life holds an enormous silence  

Pilgrims when they wonder why?                                                                                      

Your love is cataclysmic, the coughs of a heart                                                                      

An addict with the mind of a labyrinth                                                                                

You try to free yourself from the air, stairless pit devoid of empathy                                  

Freeing yourself from the tourniquet of positive impact                                                            

A drain of night symptoms hoarding                                                                                              

Cut from earth, you don't listen to anyone                                        

And make it with a bravado, listening to that music                                                                

Just enough, and you smile, just enough                        

And you smile.
