Tears for Fears
Apparently all my peers and I...
Everybody wants to rule the world but can't decide
If the trade off is worth it
Ear to ear I smiled
Past tense
Back then I was a cheerful guy
Fulfillment in the form of party afternoons
Had ice cream cake
Assortment of balloons
Mother sent .JPEG's worn from the disposable she would shoot
Photo with her phone
Look at you
So cute
So happy back when
Used to wake up laughing, till you went back to bed
Then she said, "Well, when came all the gloom?"
Told her that life hadn't beaten me down yet
Stuck the tool in my mouth
Knocked my tooth out
Oof, ouch
'Fore I was a booze hound
Every six months used to move round
Who's house?
No clue now
Mind blown like a nuke, now
When did life become some futile?

All my memories are photographs of better days
I tried to push you away
But you still love me anyway

Forgive and forget
Art born from death
I swore that I would never step foot in these parts again
Can't sleep
Head is full of regrets
Can't speak unless I scream from my chest
Cast me into the sea like a net
I got a lot of bad habits that I need to address and accept
Except, I wasn't always like this
But time spent thinking is time spent lifeless
And I've spent years in my head
Fought tears back instead of the fear that I felt being used to progress
If it seems like I'm distant
It's because I am
If I hold my breathe long enough
There won't be none left
Obsessed with the upset
Watch as the sky burns red from the sunset
Unsteady chemistry
Words turn to weaponry
Leave them in memory of everything that ever meant anything to me
Peace to the sky
Take my last breathe and then I dive
Leave no reason why

All my memories are photographs of better days
I tried to push you away
But you still love me anyway
