Shortsighted in development, Regressive in their policies, Circular in direction, Percussive in their march.

it gets so lonely sometimes we flail towards what emits light i slam my body into the fire in hopes that some spark will ignite our wooly bellies empty and frothing small feet stuck to flypaper wings rip at the air i ram into what hurts my bones i ram into whatever's still there i keep looking outward for skewed reflections of my inward but when i sad i broke the window rather than skin

A lot of hot breath circling through this apartment. I'm caught up in an argument and I don't even know how it started. And I'm watching the kids in the complex from a broken window in my kitchen. They're throwing rocks at the kittens living in my neighbor’s busted Buick. And Southern California never looked as bleak as it did with you in the driver’s seat. And I know that you think I'm a cliché, but I'm just trying to get through this awful day. Some people just never change. They always seem to get their way. And this idea that we're obligated to forgive always struck me as sentimental bullshit. You gotta do what you can to get better, kid, especially if it means never seeing these people again.

Small town lives, inflated problems Overthinking ways in which we solve them We must get out, we must leave town quiet. For we are but specks in a land of giants. My conscience, a blackened description. Of how action occurs safely within The boundaries, The moving on, The memory, when times went wrong. It wasn't that I didn't have regretful apologies. It's just that there's no sane way to forgive me. If humanity can't forgive what happens next, then what's the point on a book on life? A glorified text. Meaningless means just this, take what you have and double it. I read, I said all I could say. I know it happens everyday. I want to see the sentences come out of that sweet mouth. And I'll forgive you my friend, but earning it back I'll forgive you my friend but you've lost all touch. And I'll forgive you my friend but earning it back is a must.

Every time I flip the hourglass, I receive perspective. I can add it up in piles of sand. How did I ever ignore such imperfections? After the smoke cleared, only the governments gained. Empires and emperors have never felt shrapnel, their relatives weren't casualties. After the cities are razed (and the names are stripped from those buried beneath rubble), they speak in abstracts about "acceptable losses." Every time I flip the hourglass, I receive perspective. I can add it up in piles of sand. And this is nothing new. If only I would have known, I would have tried to change the world-how it works.

It doesn't matter what you do or say / She'll go anywhere/ She'll go anyway/ Aren't you surprised she stayed as long as she stayed? / Too little too late / And now you'll wonder where she is / and what she wanted / and what you did now / Now you'll wonder where she is / and what she wanted / and what you didn't. / Never mattered what she did or said / You never listened / Aren't you surprised she stayed as long as she stayed? / To watch the colors fade. / And it all looked brighter in her head / What she wanted is what she did / It all looked brighter in her head / What she wanted is what she'd give.

the owls are not what they seem and nobody knows what i mean i'm cold and i'm holding it in i'm old and i'm rolling it thin i'm tired of feeling like sin just thinking of things i was in cut skin to release what's within i'm feeling real spread thin so ham i'm from the black forest honey glazed been waiting for the bass drop for like 5 days and like a doughnut that's glazed i'm fucking sweet and i'm round and this love that i found from my head to the ground more nutritious than breast milk more sultry than red silk though you're missing the point yo we cut from the same ilk crushing harder than velvet swinging more hips than elvis yo we doing the damn thing and nobody can tell us yo, fuck who you prayin to man that's what i'm sayin dude believe in who you are just do what you gotta do like god damn all i need is a blast beat don't look, don't speak, just roll the fuck right past me

there was a time when liberty was expressed rather than oppressed all that was is now exiled the fields of admiration for our land was avahst the decline of man began, our origin was bound by religion contagion and warfare education it was the fall of an empire humanity will suffer this cycle makes us thirst but with this bloody slaughter our kings won't be parched we all sit neck to neck and blinded by a shadow you can't see the fire? how can we start this march? our fibs will show out moron crime they keep our brothers and sisters in darkness while they sleep in the comfort of their own crimson exploits after all of our efforts were broken down with no hope for a better route left insecure and numb to emotion. my soul is devoured by your black tower

Japón: busca en desiertos pasos anteriores / derramo el líquido derramo el dolor / solo puedo pensar, solo puedo pensarlo/las miradas esquivan / podría matarte en este sitio / puedo modificar este lugar/será el rio que lo cambie / será quien ríe el que lo cambie y al fin de cuentas disfrutar / solo puedo pensar / y si, puedes juzgarme / me puedo derramar sin ser agua / y si puedes juzgarme/me puedo derramar sin ser rio / en esta canción no encontraras palabras ofensivas buscando tu depresión / jamás. / hundidos, humillados / solo así serán felices / buscando la atención / se generan momentos hostiles / empieza el proceso la transformación.

Let's see how long it takes this time For all your friends to not wanna try For everyone to leave you behind How long till the well dries up till all your friends give up You lost your job now still got a car, going too long on a cut cord Crying about choices but they were always yours Catch myself doing stupid things Let my feelings get the better of me But I'm okay cause I stay busy I'm okay cause I'm so busy I'm okay cause i stay busy I'm busy ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I don't feel bad for you anymore Sometimes friendships fail and we were both at fault It's not that you couldn't be there but the fact is you were totally gone You could've made the fucking call So when you cut and run, I hope you trip and fucking fall And is this how it always ends Run away tail between your legs There's not time left to be sad Turn your face up make it bad Fuck today cause it's been had I'll squeeze the life out with bare hands

There's a boy I know He's the one I'm dreaming of Look in his eyes Takes me to the clouds above How will I know? How will I know? How will I know if he really loves me? If he loves me, if he loves me nooooot

¿Cúantas veces tendré que doblar mis rodillas? una, dos, seis mil, no lo sé tal vez no sea suficiente y el tiempo no alcance para terminar de pagar mi deuda esta vida

Y todo lo que quiero está en ti, y todo lo que busco está en mí. Yo soy un problema sin solución y tú eres una en un millón.

somebody wanted to take you away from me pulled you from that lofty opening but you fought harder than anyone I've ever known would you look at yesterday, oh how we've grown the first time I met you it wasn't too far from here it was down the hall, I was crying then, but I'm screaming now wake me up when the night turns dark

Estoy desconsolada porque me abandonaste Y tu eres el unico capacitado para consolarme Cuando hago algo mal y tu no me lo perdonas, Necesito que me abraces y no llega la hora. Porque yo te hice enojar, Me pones un castigo, Me pones a sufrir Y lo mas triste de todo es que no se va a repetir Porque no me quieres ver, Mientras mas yo te persigo mas te enojas tu conmigo Si tanto me quisiste no me tires al olvido Maldito maldito maldito Porque me abandonas cuando mas te necesito Maldito maldito maldito En la cama y en la carcel se conoce a los amigos Haciendo el inventario De porque me hiciste daño Resulta que te inquieta cuando hablo con extraños Si tienes la certeza De que yo te puse el cuerno Y no quieres que nadie mas te ralle los cuadernos Entonces ponte buzo Porque me puedo ir Pues a mi no me gusta tener novios a escondidas Y si no te parece pues te invito a la salida Maldito maldito maldito Porque me abandonas cuando mas te necesito Maldito maldito maldito En la cama y en la carcel se conoce a los amigos

You believe we are bodies and memories. there's no "lost". You want to leave the picture blank, take the details out, tear the page from the book. Drop the pencil to the floor where I won't ever pick it up. For the best because you can't seem to get it off your chest, so I'll cling to the walls in the hopes of finding anything resembling myself from your own list of everything. I hang from my hopes and wait for you to say: "what about bodies?" "what about hearts?" "what about us?". You wake up whole, you're shown and told, you know who you are. You're taught everything there is to know, there are no more questions now. So you won't be deceived, and you won't fall prey to the trickery that we are. "Who's really going to miss me?" I say as the pen leaves the paper. As the pages are shred and strewn across the floor, they all fall to spell "who will?". I had a chance to be heard and you had a plan to get even. How do you live with yourself? How could you live with yourself?

Through our bleeding, we are one. Through the darkness breaks the light. Through the light unending pain. Deify the wretched ones till the darkness comes again.
