and so now
the end of the night comes
every time we say 'hi'
instead of running out
we should be showing how
the fear doesn't have to beat you down
wide awake we draw these lines
convinced there's another place; another time
to reconcile...make this far-off life worthwhile
this word evolution becomes meaningless
a mechanism we've created
a singular existence:
lock up (let's shut it down)
how could we be so blind,
thinking that our finite lives
are timeless
i swear it's worth it
to go back and recognize
the silence that we've put in place of
speaking out
we should be showing how
the fear doesn't have to beat you down
know dilema
in eyes that sparkle hatred
fresh ink on
these distractions that make it:
so hard
so long
to reach anyone but yourself
so you can throw hard
but you still throw wrong
all it does is lock you up
