Kill cliche!
I DONT KNOW YOU
i know in my mind i let my fingers trace
they know the beauty of your perfect face
i know i crave the sound of your silent voice
if i were blind i know you'd still be my choice
i know the speed my heart beats when you're around
i know the need my heart beats when you cant be found
i know your laugh inspires mine
i can see the red of your lips envied
by every shade of wine
i know in a room full of diamonds
only you would shine to me
but i dont know you
i know in my mind i let my fingers trace
they know the beauty of your perfect face
i know i crave the sound of your silent voice
if i were blind i know you'd still be my choice
i know the speed my heart beats when you're around
i know the need my heart beats when you cant be found
i know your laugh inspires mine
i can see the red of your lips envied
by every shade of wine
i know in a room full of diamonds
only you would shine to me
but i dont know you
I dare say, I've lived alone,
inside a blue-screened mobile phone,
and with it I have thrown my years,
with kids in caps and top-pierced ears,
with kids that aren't kids at all
but adults in their twenties who's parents pay for each call,
who smoke and drink and don't pay half their rent
because the system is crooked and their childhood was bent,
who cry a lot but don't take their pills,
or go outside or eat a healthy fill.
I dare say, I have lived alone,
lived and died with a mobile phone.
