Oh living in this world of cliche
Get on your knees and pray
That your love won't walk away
Cause here in our world
You're the guy and she's the girl
But she'll leave you in a day
If you can't pay

Let's steal a spot for light to shine
Cheap imitation to live refined

And we're singing these lies
Living these stories
Flying with stars
Immersed in fake glory

But it's the latest style
To hang on his arm and smile
Like every other wife for a while
But when he leaves oh dear don't cry
There's really just no use to try
You made it down the aisle
Now time to crank out that vial

And when at last life you recall
There's really no better than to fall
Get on your knees and crawl
You can't escape it
You can't escape it

Let's steal a spot for light to shine
Cheap imitation to live refined

And we're singing these lies
Living these stories
Flying with stars
Immersed in fake glory

She walks in everyday
Cursing the life she's made
She's hiding her scars, hoping they fade
But they never really go away

She cries tears alone in the night
"When will things ever be right?"
She's blinded she can't see the light
The story of how she dies

Oh we're dreaming, screaming
These lies
Intensify
These lives we falsify

And when she lays awake in bed
All the thing's going through her head
Are numbers counting tears she's shed
Wishing she could only be dead oh

Oh we're dreaming, screaming
These lies
Intensify
These lives
These lives we falsify

We're holding onto dreams
Three more years it seems
Till we're flying on the wings
Of change we're anticipating
Singing out confessions
Showing true expression

Oh we're breaking under pressure
Slitting wrists and drinking through the nights
Listening to the adults fight
And they wonder why we cause them fright
Come on, come on
We'll make it through
If only they knew

We're holding onto dreams
Three more years it seems
Till we're flying on the wings
Of change we're anticipating
Singing out confessions
Showing true expression

And we're falling. Falling faster.
Gracing them with suicides
Forgetting how to breathe
Replacing breath with tears
Spitting out these lies
So they don't find out why

We're holding onto dreams
Three more years it seems
Till we're flying on the wings
Of change we're anticipating

You told me no, Oh no
You'll never make it
Not in this world uh uh
You don't have what it takes
But now just look at me
Never where you'll be
Where I stand and where you stand oh
You'll never bring me down

Give up! Give up!
(Oh no no no no)
Oh no I'm not giving up
Your words mean nothing to bring me down
Just watch! Just watch!
Someday I will be at the top
You'll be seeing my name all around

Haha you laughed in my face
But oh who's laughing now?
So now let's pick up the pace
Uh huh
Don't you see that you
Never really
Had all that impact on me
Because in reality
I'm screaming screaming screaming
Oh no no no

Give up! Give up!
(Oh no no no no)
Oh no I'm not giving up
Your words mean nothing to bring me down
Just watch! Just watch!
Someday I will be at the top
You'll be seeing my name all around

You'll never bring me down

so i posted my poem like everywhere. i've like made my mark on a whole bunch of buzznet forums. i find it pretty entertaining. oh and all the people that see my stuff everwhere are like mad at me or annoyed by me. and i find it amusing. lol. yea. my main motive? get the word out. and in time i'll have a name for myself. im aspiring to be what i want to be. and when i'm finally a published author and or poet. or if i'm a lyricist to some hot new band. or i don't know. someday i'm just going to flip out even more when i explain my first tactic was to spam buzznet with my poetry XP lol.

Outside these walls,
Genocide raids the streets
Suicide hangs from her windowsill
A beating in that other house with no one to notice
Meals scraped from the wrapping of trashcans
Hell breaks loose outside these walls.

Let's strike the match

And kindle a fire

Embers like fireflies dancing in the night

Let's forge a love

Lie to ourselves

Put on this play

Of you and me

You be the king, I'll be the Queen

Make up, costumes, a script in the making

Oh the addiction beckons me

Love like a drug

Have a bit and I want more

A longer, stronger dose

But our love's no secret

Because everyone knows

But they're not VIP

Like you and me

Oh the addiction beckons me

Demanding my slurred presense

Love our obsession

How to prove it exists

Thrashing fists and hits

That's the way to go

Lust over love

Because love is an addiction and oh it beckons me

I'm petrefied

Everytime I stare in your eyes

My soul is frozen and I realize

You're too far out of reach

Because I'm so lost

To be the one for you

And in finding me

You'll never see

All that I can be

Because I'm pushing you away

Further from myself

Further from who I am

I'm lengthening the distance

And you're forgetting my existence

I'm forcing the resistance

Leaving you to erase me

Before you remember

What we could be

And when I have the fellows falling

Their hearts pouring and fears crawling

It's always their "love" they're calling

Why would you be any different?

Because I'm your friend?

Apparently that's all I ever am

I never thought I'd feel for you

The way I do

But all I say is true

I want to be the love you run to

I wish I could be more

If only for a moment I could call you mine

I've been waiting

Always debating

Whether this lie I'm creating

Is even worth the restraint

If I confessed my feelings

Would I be free?

Could you ever love me too?
