Let my joy be a promise To my future self Who is so beautiful Even if she isn’t pretty.

The grass was dewy. You carried me on your back. I could feel your heartbeat Through your shirt. I wanted you to be mine,

Last night, all I saw was Nancy. The way she cried when I held her… Like a fleshy cradle Around her broken heart. I saw her loving me

You’re horrible, And I hate you. But this is me. I’m the only person That I can’t escape.

Without you, I feel the pain. The rain seems cold now. Thunder is only evil, And the sky is bare and pale.

Nobody can see the darkness in me, And when I go deep, I bring a flashlight to slash thro… The dark. I once used to frolic in light,

My mom hates her life, And I’m too much to juggle, And my dad doesn’t support my mom, And my brother’s never home, And my medicine doesn’t work,

She looked like innocence And felt like sin And died like grace And fell like a bird And fell like a bird

Things I wish I could say Would be I miss you, I love you, I want to be with you,

You ruined me. How could you? You’re my mother. You were supposed to be strong. Not me.

Dancing inside makes me sing. Music turns winter into spring. Dancing inside lights up my world. Lyrics give me wings like birds. Dancing inside all the time.

Woah. The bright sky Makes me want to live, And the grass Smells too good to miss.

I feel so lonely. I want to die. Feeling like the only one on earth… My laughter is a lie. Laugh on, laugh on.

You were the devil. I knew it before you did; And I was St. Mary With clouds trailing behind me. I gave you my virtue
