today

today is like any day
but still it stands out

today is my favorite day
today feels like everyday

today feels sort of different
today feels far away

can you take me with you ?
or do i have to stay here?

i can’t see tomorrow
i can’t even live today
alone

in my room 
i’m all alone
 in my room
i’m all alone

but the shadows 
keep me company

yeah the shadows
keep me company

in my dream 
you’re here with me
in  my dream
you’re here with me 

you kiss me by the maple tree
you kiss me by the maple tree

we run away 
to a secret place
would you run away
to the secret place

far away from the interstate
far, far way from the interstate

in my dream
you’re here with me
you kill me by
the maple tree

the maple tree
old maple tree
god save you dear 
you set me free

you set me free 
now rest with me
hold my hand 
and watch me bleed

in my dream
you’re here with me 
in my dream 
you set me free

 
friends

how many of your
dear friends died this year
how many cuts would it take
to make you shed a tear

this life is so fast
it way too fast
do you really think
you can out run this?

this life is so sad
i don’t think i’ll ever smile after this
after this 
after this

what happens after this?
the only thing that keeps me going
this life is the only life, 
the only life we know for sure.
how are you doing?

internet girls are
cybernetic cat burgulars
rock and roll boys are
just mimes in leather jackets
hot rods and cigarettes
pass the time way faster
ancient rubber tires and
lead paint coated plastic toys
will be here way after

way way after
when all the tree friends will burn
and an army of frozen skeletons
will rule over the earth

these are dark times my friend
