Look at why we burn

is it just for fun?

Do the stars collide so that we may notice,
or so that the world may fall apart?

Standing tall on a bridge above nowhere,
this ladder takes me places I never expected.

The friendly sound of laughter,
is nothing but noise to my ears.

So I say Cheers,
as we say goodbye-
This is the end, as they say it,
Today we all die .

Thoughts on people

The things they say, they way they react,
the way that people treat you.

It all changes when they find out one little thing about you.
Suddenly you're an outcast.
Now they can't talk to you,
Now they can't respect you.

What did you do but reveal that there is something about you?
That you didn't care what they thought, and you thought they wouldn't care?
Instead you're shunned,
Treated as a lesser equal,
and told many times over that what you are doing is wrong.

I do not care,
I am my own person.

So treat me however you want,
I now know that the people who look at you differently are the fools.
I know the people who don't understand you're still the same person,
they are the ones who won't enjoy life's little things.

If they won't enjoy my company anymore,
I do not force it upon them,
but I expect them to still respect me as the same person I was.

I am no longer an innocent.
I am no longer the sheltered.
I have some knowledge now, to understanding what makes a person cool.
Not by what they do,
but by how they treat a friend differently after one thing that you did not even force upon them.

Let's fuck the world, so we may host another party.
Who is the one who would say otherwise?

This road we walk down

Is a ladder up to where we belong.
Do we climb or do we fall?

Do we let our insides twist and knot the string of fate,
Is the chord muffled and unclear-

I'm no longer sure what road it is I walk down.

But now I must decide.
The paths diverge,
the way ahead of me is clear,
I can choose to move on with my life,
or I can choose to stay here.

I want to pick her,
but I don't want to get hurt.

My mind wants to run away,
but my heart tells me to stay.

I've got the reigns of fate in my hands and I am the one who is deciding,
and she doesn't even know how much that grip is sliding,
away from what I know to be safe, to something dangerous and alluring,
I think this is one way to help pass the time.

I don't know if I believe in destiny,
but there truly is a divine evil.
That laughs at my inconsistency,
who chooses what I ought to be.

No more.
I have walked down this road before,
and now I've stopped to ask directions.
Will she be my guide,
or will she be the one who takes me somewhere even better?
Either way,
I'm driving nowhere.

Watch

Watch the hours of your life tick away,
Watch your loved ones remind you that there is still good people out there in this world.
Watch the little things make you smile once more.

It's a watch from a long forgotten loved one, in a country far away.
In a different world, he stays,

but across the sea our memories remain,
I'll wear this watch every single day.
