People

Tell me why we live like this
Clinging on to that one last breath, hoping it can save us
Grabbing at the thin thread that keeps us hanging on
Never willing to let go, and just let it all happen
We live each day in constant fear, that someones going to take us down
That disappointment is waiting, crouching, ready to pounce just around around the corner
Why do we live like this?
We're afraid to speak out what we truly feel
And when we're upset, and broken, we just scream
Truth be told, letting the voice go feels amazing
But who's going to listen?
Control
Everyone is searching for control.
Power, never letting anyone dominate their own lives
We want to own
If we can't run ourselves, why not run everyone else

We're all wearing a mask
whether it has your heart painted on it or not
whether it's etched in blood or tears
We switch them daily, pretending and playing
We're all preparing to end
balancing the masks and taking risks, so we regret nothing
Looking for someone to protect us
A face to represent us
someone to lust for us and watch our every move

We need
Everyone needs
All we care about is what we need
What we want
What we long for
What causes a pounding in our ears
and a pain in our chest
What will make our minds go numb and forget the pain, even for those few seconds
We all have pain don't we?

But, what do I know
I'm just a girl
naive, and lost in a sea of wonder
That pushes on no matter what
The current is impossible to stop, to redirect
it pushes and pushes on while people standing on the bank throw stones and laugh
Faces all covered jeering, snickering, cackling
We're all young on the inside
Growing, slowly, ignorant, believing we're open-minded and everyone else is arrogant
Unwilling to listen
Stretching our freedoms way beyond limit
Waiting until they snap like rubber bands and come back to bruise the skin
We're all excersising power
over insignificant things
We all refuse to let go
But what do I know
I'm simply a person
Wishing for control
I want power, to feed off of it
Drink it every morning like a cup of tea
I want to steer someones life
Even my own
I want to stretch my limits
and wait for the day they snap back and make me bleed
I want to own every mask in the world
And turn it into a circus act
“The Amazing Girl Who Disappears”
I'll play hide and seek with the world to prove they need me
I'll live for the future, with no regrets,
but that's right, I'm just an average person
Truly nothing special

Time

We always think "all the time in the world"
"Yeah that's right I got all the time in the world"
But what do we have?
When everyone is claiming all of worlds time?
Thinking, it'll get better let it play out
Sitting back passively never taking a hold
Never just letting go and doing what we want
Never speaking how we feel
Thinking, okay now I'm gonna run out of this room across the world
But instead sitting there thinking some other time
I got all the time in the world
Yet people walk by taking that time from you, leaving you with nothing but seconds
and some people steal the time from themselves
When all the time in the world just runs around
wasting not one single glance at who needs it most
Time is stolen, never given
Time is taken, never shared
Time is never there, when one needs it most
Time isn't there for those who need something to hold on to
time is there for the people who throw it around
Like nothing at all
Time has no heart or soul
It believes not in anything but freedom
Never contained
The world has tried
People have held on and done maniacal things
Just to keep time in a glass, near the heart
Willing for love and their name to live on
But time is like white out on a page
Erasing everything that has ever existed, from this world
Into another world where nothing has control
A world that does not believe in hours and seconds
But this world relies on nothing, but the control that time has
This world, is all about, having all the time
When truly we have nothing but the sand blowing out of our hands

Clean

The heart has a song to sing
A rhythm to boom
And words to whisper
But who, will ever, find time to listen

The mind has all the wisdom
Making matters simple
With easy to use instructions
But who, will ever, learn to read

Two hands to hide the eyes
Protection for all those too sensitive

A mouth to speak out against commands
Power for those unafraid to use it

Two feet to run away
When life starts tossing bombs

A body with built in weaponry
Tears to drown the enemies
Nails to claw away at those who deserve not to see
Words to cause dishevelment in those weakened moments

Resources, resources, us your resources
You need not a sword to slay
No bullet to shoot
But a simple phrase
To turn them away
Spit the words like fire
Burning down all those, who bring pandemonium upon you
With each breath you take, send daggers into their spine
Pull the daggers up, forcing them to look you in the eye
Whispering the truth into the masked innocent face, spiraling them into deep nothingness
With no place to go and no one to turn to
Make them go deaf with the screams of logic
No profanities shall ever caress thy lips
For you are sacred
And they are forsaken
