You know I never knew you were like this
You’re not like when we had that first kiss
Why can’t we go back to be the same?
Why do I always have to take the blame?
I used to be proud
Now I just feel like a lonely person in the crowd

My life used to be dull
It was never really useful
I never new I could feel like this
This part of my life, I never want to miss
You made my life shine
You helped me walk in a straight line
My life came together
I want you here with me forever

Will you come to see me
Up in this big tree?
Try to make me smile
Every once in a while?
When I am crying,
And feel like dieing,
Will you make me feel better
By writing me a love letter?
Or just sit by my side,
Or maybe we can just go for a ride?

Sorry mom and dad, for doing wrong instead of right.
Sorry mom and dad that I had gotten into all those fight.
Sorry mom and dad, for lying instead of the truth.
Sorry mom and dad, for being really rude.
Sorry mom and dad, for getting bad grades.
Sorry mom and dad, for serving all those detention days.
Sorry mom and dad, for seeing me home for the suspension days.
Sorry mom and dad, for talking back.
Sorry mom and dad, I just wish I could take it ALL back!

My Daddy is really Mean
Because he makes me clean and clean
I think it’s mean
To make tweens clean
I hate spilling juice in a mug
Because I have to clean the rug
I don’t have to sweep
But I clean with a Vacuum deep
I wish I could vacuum less
To relieve my stress

My child raise your head high
there aint no shame in poor
when the rich would stand by
and watch you starving, crying, reaching
for something in the distance while we’re preaching,
for God to come closer/let him see things,
acts of mischiefs? We’re still breathing?
I see confusion in your eyes child
don’t be afraid your free to cry child
cry a stream and row (row) to God, child
cause there aint no hope in this life child
I swear to you this aint no lie child
their excuse is “Well this isn’t my child”

They underestimate the look in my eyes
and shower me with hate, muffle my cries
than the scientists study my pride
asking each other, ‘how come?’ , ‘why?’
I wasn’t born like this, this is what life made me
An animal. Immortal. too savage for that baby
And when I’m on my knees crying they say she’s gone crazy
Alone and vulnerable, they handcuff and then take me
Now I’m locked up in the cell I made, no man can save me

My days are so dark they make an alley seem bright
Is it past 12 when there ain’t no stars in the night
Man has flushed all beauty, and beauty in all
Now I stand on this cliff getting ready to fall
I’m afraid of heights but I still look down
No river, no water, and no life to be found
Still I used this rope they call “lie”
To get down safely ’cause I’m not gonna die
Not yet. Not now, not until I find truth
but this rope is running too long
And it seems as though it runs after you

sing me a funny song.
sing witty pretty.
sing toy boy
sing mellow yellow
the funny song goes a long way.
it sounds funny to make you laugh.
the lyrics are hopeless.
you can feel the song.
the funny song turn me into superman.
the funny song gets more funny.
do you call it laughing gas?

I remember when we first met.

i want to feel you warm hugs and kisses.
i miss you more each day.
even though your here.
I LUV YOU.
