Proud and Pure
and blah blah blah
In your world what color is the sunset and
Is there a room to rent?
Are there gardens to grow from
Or are there witches flying west
Do promises grow on trees
Is the sky filled with rainbows
That you look at upside down
I was only minding my own business
Counting cradles
Then you turned around
Never asked to step into your dream
Or burst at the seams at thoughts of
What?!
I never even asked for a hero
It was pure admiration
Is there such a thing as light-hearted
Anythings
Or is it a curse of human beings
To prefer wandering skies
Or endlessly search for the inner attribute of mankind
To give
I have living beings that I love and care for
Everything is a stand off
So this is where I get off all over you
And stop listening to the brew
Worldly worlds and sheltered hearts
Artistic temperament mirrored and I hope, so
I remain proud and pure
No matter what the outcome
Tomorrow is a better day
It's gotta be
Or time fades away

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"
