How Can I Live?
The things on my mind are the things on my life[/font]
I wish I was able to just bring people together[/font]
Stand on the corner and just shout to the world[/font]
A megaphone of hope through the eyes of someone with none[/font]
Like watching a flower bloom and seeing it create a new thing from something old[/font]
Oppression creates the lessening of our spirit[/font]
Who invented hate?[/font]
I hope they never experience what they created[/font]
[/font]
Where did all the real beauty go?[/font]
You have to look hard for it now[/font]
Everyone in a hurry and nowhere to go[/font]
Love is my Lost City of Atlantis[/font]
Keep looking for it wondering if it will exist or find me[/font]
No people seem to be real anymore[/font]
Life's a fucking beauty pageant[/font]
A beauty pageant that I would rather miss than be a part of[/font]
[/font]
My mind goes crazy trying to imagine the future of people like us[/font]
We're like the leaf that falls off the tree too early[/font]
Were just slowly dieing with nothing to do[/font]
The holiness of the fact that most people don't know who they worship really[/font]
I feel like I'm being brainwashed by nothing[/font]
And being forgotten by everything[/font]
I'm the antagonist of my own beliefs[/font]
And I don't care about nothing and everything[/font]
[/font]
Forever is just too long and not long enough[/font]
How can it be said when it's not meant and can't be true[/font]
The past is my current haunting[/font]
I forget and remember it all[/font]
Alcohol and drugs are the poison of a society that's surrounded by venomous snakes[/font]
Music is sometimes my escape but even that can't be perfect[/font]
The view of everything is vaguely perfect and flawed in every way[/font]
Where did all the peace and power go, where is my favorite word "Beautiful".[/font]
I wish I was able to just bring people together[/font]
Stand on the corner and just shout to the world[/font]
A megaphone of hope through the eyes of someone with none[/font]
Like watching a flower bloom and seeing it create a new thing from something old[/font]
