Hypocrites

There are more hypocrites in this world, or at least our country, than you can imagine. Maybe you are one. You could be rockin’ out on your priceless iPod, to a Kanye West song about the evils of diamonds, but look! You’ve got some new studs in your ears, or maybe bought some rocks to buy back that ‘special’ someone. Possibly your shaking your head about the arrogance of others, but planning to shop in your Uggs later. Maybe catch a game with some guys instead of going to church on Sunday. There are a million combinations of hypocrisy- we all use more than we should everyday.

Let me risk

Free me
Stop protecting me
I need to feel it
To take down my umbrella
Jump in front of a bullet
Take off my seatbelt
Remove my shackles
I need to touch something
Pain
Risk
Hurt
Joy
Die again
Move, move, Move!
Let me take a chance
I need a consequence!

Fall into love

Flying through the air
Melting clocks
Drowning lies
Crowds of haters
Pairs of lovers
All the same
Reaching out
Grazing your cheek
Pulling back
As you fall
Fall into tomorrow
Yesterday
Fall into love

What happened to the world

What happened to the world
That people hide from love?
What became of the epidemic
That brought humanity together
Where did the instinct to survive disappear to?
We are losing life
Taking sharp corners
Generating a risk too contemplate
Simply by living

Feeling Guilt

Feeling guilt
Is something to tackle
Something that reminds those who have come out on top
Of those who never quite made it
An excuse
To humble yourself
A mirror image, twisted
Of praise
And forgotten peace
Guilt is fuel
For an empty conscious

What you are

Did the sky fall for me?
Washing down
What was left of the surreal lives
The perfect choices
Content, imperfect love
You must be a dream
Only a vivid image that
I just wish would stay there

What do you do when trust goes away

What do you do
When you can’t trust the world
The sky’s gonna break
The grounds gonna fall
Love songs don’t make no sense no more
Shadows forming everywhere
Shaping my worst nightmare
Listen
Just listen
