I dreamt of falling
In slow motion
I was watching the clouds
And I was listening to the wind
Singing in my ears
I was feeling the earth pulling me into the center
I could my worries draining away
Until I hit the ground
I should've died
But I lived

Beat to beat
Voices yelling all around
Stomping stomping feet
Shaking, quaking, breaking the ground
Jabs, and blows thrown in every way
Blood stained the marble floors
I really didn't want to stay
But broken bodies blocked they way
Trapped in here I rest my head
As voices scream and skin is broke
People falling dead
I begin to choke
Raging wars at the scene of the crime
Breaking bones, and stopping time
Overwhelmed I want to run
But I'm forced to stay to see what's done

Words bitten off,
Sharp they pierce my skin
Sad my eyes watch the stars
There to hold me
There to watch the sorrow that falls of me
If I had opened up my eyes
Would I've been deceived by these vicious lies?
If I hadn't laid my heart out bare
Knowing I was taking a chance of pain
Would I be standing here
Would I be so angry
So upset
These furious waves sloshing inside my
Ripped up heart
When I'm lost at a crossroads
And I don't know which way to turn
And the tears oh how they burn, my eyes
Why?
Why do I always receive the lies
And the pain and the hurt
A single tear falls from my eye
What would it feel like to die?
What would the peace taste like?
What would the silence sound like?
I thought about cool metal against my skin,
Reopening fading scars...
Breathing quick and holding softly on to the small bear in my arms
I've never been a child,
I have never had a chance

It started when I took my first step
On the freshly paved path
It started out so smooth
So easy I could glide
Until the sun set
And I met the monsters hiding in the shadows
They broke me
Beat me
Killed me
And I drew a ragged breath
Dragging myself up
I thought maybe I'd been mistaken
But no
This path I've been walking
Is full of cracks and holes
Always tripping me
Always leaving me out of breath
Tricking me to go left
Instead of right
A mirage on the end of the path, and then I realize it never ends...
And that I'll just keep tripping
Today I'm stepping onto untamed grass
And choosing my own way

Oh this demon was in disguise
She was made of all these lies
And I thought she was sweet
Then on our first meet
I realized she was planning her demise
Yeah she sidled up and laced up her words
And sweetly poisened me with her standards
And I knew that I would never meet them
I could barley begin to brush the hem
It was then I had to approach her
But she was supposed to be my best friend
Until I finally realized that this might be the end

We all have our demons
We all have our flaws
We hide them so no one will see them
We all have our smiles
We all have our frowns
We all cry when no ones around
We all have our bruises
We all have out cuts
All of us, yes all of us fall down
But this all makes us human
This makes us real
Because to be alive
You have to feel
And sometimes it hurts
And we will bleed
But it's a part of life that we all need
To send in our minds
Our epiphany
And steer us to a new way
Every last single one of us
Are unique
We are all beautiful
Even if we don't know exactly who we are

Breath dancing on the air
In swirls of clouded heat
My face is cold
And the winds are blowing
And here I'm stuck waiting for a bus
And I'm humming along
To my favorite song
I look across the street
Empty, quiet, not even a heartbeat
I look at the ground and pretend I'm not there
And that I'm gone in a far away land
Dream of the heat and the sun
All the summer fun
That I miss and I long to have
Oh sigh, so miserable, why?
When it's cold outside
