It’s Love

In the end it’s love
That will save us from ourselves.
An instinct greater than us
Makes us think of someone else.

living

i didn’t think i would survive
but now i realize that
after all of this existing
i'm not just alive
but living

Lucky

We were the lucky ones;
The people who lived.
But take it for granted
Was all that we did.

More than survive

C-c-c- c'mon
C-c-c- c'mon
Go
Go

I just want to survive

(It's from Japan...)

Take
The
             Bus
Or
Walk
                    Instead

I feel my stomach filling up with
d r e a d

I wish I had the skill
To just be fine
And cool
And C h i l l

                                                                          I don't wanna be a HERO

I follow my own  r u l e s
Have my own  t o o l s

I just wanna survive

Dangerous.
Navigate.                         Halls.

It's a sign up sheet for getting called
GAY

At least it's     ...progress

C'mon
More than

Break Me

Tear me apart

Smash me to pieces

Release the tension

You know you have the will

Inside your swollen fist

You hold my destiny

only the broken know how to survive

Do I?

Do I need you to survive?
yes!
Is that a lie?
no!
Put your love to the test
Can you survive longer than the rest?
Oh its such a mess!
But, hey!
maybe it'll be all
ok
maybe you really deserve to
stay

hey doll,
wanna play?

"thats all you had to say"

Depressive Paradox / Only Time

I starve myself
Because the intense growl in my stomach
is the only time
something tells me it cares about me

I take freezing showers
that make it hard to breathe
Because it's the only time
I fight to stay alive

I read past conversations
of my heart getting broke
Because it's the only time
I can control when I cry

I fake happiness
for those around me
Because I'd rather hide my pain
than my peers to pretend to care

I isolate myself
from everything
Because it's the only time
that I am the only one who can hurt me

I'm stuck in a depressive paradox;
the only way for me to survive my pain
is to make my own

Was going go use the term "borborygmus" in the second line, but decided that's too extra.
