THE VIEW

Look at me I'm shivering

Look at me I need you

The stirring of this strangeness
Has left me without words

The magnitude of magic
The silence from the screams

Look at me I'm broken

Look at me I'm hard

The beating of my heartache
Has filled another space

The peculiarness of permanence
The frustration from myself

Look at me I'm skeptical

Look at me I'm valued

The pot of irony boils over
Has the smoke began to clear

The view becomes reality
The picture of you is clear

A ME

Laugh at what your eyes see,
I know your wrong, don't you agree.
My hair not just right, the face to fat,
But I got the balls, so you can swallow that.

I slam my fist down on the table,
I say, you, what I do.
Brother, you ain't no way near able,
To cope with what's left of you.

Make a fun,
Drown a sun,
Kill the spirit in a me all.

Make a fun,
Drown a sun,
Watch a me fade into the wall.

Can't I learn the only lesson,
Must I force this person to be on.
I'm so tired of being pushed down,
Ready to grow up from this town.

Maybe I'll slip into a different frame,
Breathe a brand new air.
Or would it just be the same,
Maybe I just shouldn't care

Make a fun,
Drown a sun,
Smother a me tonight.

Make a fun,
Drown a sun,
Throw away a me from fright.
