I’m just a hopeless man of words
Filling my breath with wasted verse
On lover’s dreams and missing things
That seem to spin me on this earth

In circles flipping through the pages
Locking stories in their cages
Only opening the gate
To watch my life flash by in phases

Tracking the memories like paintings
Through the lines that form and lips
Of young enchanted dreamers
Spoken only to forget

Reminiscing on the poetry
that never pierced the wall
of timid tears held back for years
That only seemed to hurt us all

Those were the days
When we could dance when we want to
Fall in love with the thought of loving you
Give me the sight of a blind man
Show me the strength of a child
Give me a mother’s healing touch
Just to mend the world that fights so much
When the words we say create a shallow pond
Who will be there when I’m gone

See I’m a boy whose lost his youth
In a sea of wallstreet men and tuth
Left standing subject to the publics thoughts
On how I should be viewed

Like there’s a code that we should follow
Knowing half the words we swallow
Are the reason for the feelings
Leaving other people hollow

I’m facing the eyes that swarm around me
Feeling lost and looking back
At all the things that children see
And all the love we lack

Cause it’s the words that hurt the most
The petty labels and the jokes
That pull the wool over the world
And choke the life out of the folks

That nurture us and work for us
And spend their lives to care for us
When all that we can do is fight
And what we can not do is trust

What a world we live in
When we can not see the truth
Fighting fire with fire till one side retires
Without forgiving you
