in lieu of saying my mind, here goes something (from my mind)

you make me laugh
with all your petty facades
your higher than thous
your "better because"

i'm different than you
in only one way
no matter what comes along
i don't save face

and that makes me
to you a bigger threat
because no matter what you can do
you don't know what to expect

and yet i don't try
any politics
social stuff aside
its all bullshit

i never use anyone
to get ahead
when all it really is
a self esteem boost

i don't try
to become idolized
looked up to
recognized

i just want to be a part
to have fun
with everyone
even though it's naught

you give a compliment
and look at me kind
not knowing i can see otherwise
in the back of your mind

it's all going to fall
crumble to the ground
and you'll be left there
wondering, hoping to be found

legacy crushed
dynasty forgotten
not knowing where to pick up from
not knowing what happened

and all it ever was
was just a little stepping stone
that was important to some
and overall, petty and it showed

and i'll be moving on
with greater memories
because i don't have to second guess trust
because I actually made these (memories)

ink on paper

straight from mind to paper
with no eraser
as time ticks by
the flaws on paper
chickenscratched out of the life
as if things could be overlooked
with the remnants peeking through
exposing the flaws of the righter
of my foolish metaphors
lacking creativity
exposing the point with no thought in mind
as if he himself would not know meaning
cuz he lacks knowledge of people seeing

as of now, unfinished

Take a step back (take a step back)
from this moment
and see what will unfold
(too many stories gone untold)

and you'll notice (through the letters)
that petty consequence
will never get you far
(fucker leaped before he looked)

and this dagger (bloody dagger)
dull from the spines
it's never done its good
(throw it out before it turns)

just let
it die
just let

just let it die

i'm not jaded
this world's just faded
from being anything but incomplete
and i'm not leaving
just for a season
but i never got to say goodbye

what's the worst that i could say
things are better if i stayed

Radiohead - True Love Waits

I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
And wash your swollen feet

Just don't leave
Don't leave

I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile

Just, don't leave
Don't leave

And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps

Just dont leave, dont leave..
Don't leave.. dont leave
