Never Made It Out Alive
I took 3 bullets in my head,
Hit my imagination instead.
They told me to give up on my dreams.
Children all over
Gave me the cold shoulder,
And told me I couldn’t sing.
I remember seeing angels,
Who told me I’d never fly.
Then I saw the devil,
Motioned me to his side.
A thousand tiny snowflakes,
Falling from above,
Landing on crippled white doves
And numb all their pain.
Tangled beneath the roses
With no petals,
But thorns.
I faced the pulsing earaches
And graced the common storm.
But they tried to stop me frozen
And put out the fire inside.
Lips turn blue,
Heart burns for you.
Yearn for right
And bleed on sight.
The monsters only find me in the light.
Stay in the dark and hide from humanity.
Never see the world alive,
Rest forever deep inside.
Steadfast to my dreams,
Chased by my nightmares,
They called me a cutter,
Then turned on the hose.
Trudged in soaking,
And sobbed on the floor.
Until life came knocking upon my front door.
I
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITold myself to stay strong, bullies come and go.
Can’t
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIWe all dream with the flow.
Tell
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMe a secret into that I die.
You
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMay never suspect me, for I am no spy.
How
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDo you live alone with this pain?
Much
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOf the lighting in my eyes comes from heaven
It
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIs the place I’ll never get to,
Hurts
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYou to stay true.
Me
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAnd the wolves, will fight down the hellfire,
To
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICapture the kindness that is ever so due.
Give
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMe a notion that always turns blue.
My
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISong needs a title, at which to live by.
Life
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIs a gift and there’s no receipt.
Story
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOf a girl who's life chose not to keep.
Arise
And
Be
All
That
You
Dreamed.
I hate it when people tell me I can't.
Hit my imagination instead.
