(no subject)
Sometimes I look around
When these airbrushed walls are crumbling down,
And my heart is screaming
Mind is begging
For something more serene.
I try my best to make amends
For things I didn’t do
To people I didn’t hurt
In times I just don’t trust
And I try to hold the bricks up best I can.
Sometimes I look around
When the planes have all taken flight
When the cars are packed and gone
When I’m quieted and alone.
I try my best to fill the time
To look inside myself
To look outside my world
To stumble through insight
And I try to ignore the emptiness.
Sometimes I wish aloud
When I cant find the strength within
And my bodies aching
And my feet are sore
That I could be like Mother T.
And I try my best to just be kind
To say less angry words
To say something nice to a stranger
To strive for peace
At least within these walls.
Airbrushed as they may be
They are here, surrounding me
And I couldn’t seem to break free
Before you came to rescue me
Like a lighthouse to the sea
Or a friend advising me
To you I've made no guarantees
But it seems you’re what I need.
In a darkened room I sat
I couldn’t sleep or rest at that
Staring at that damn pink hat
That shows you care.
I could pretend that I'm just blind
Scarred by the love I’ve left behind
Refuse to say whets on my mind
Because I’m scared.
Sometimes it’s easier to run
Than stick around and just have fun
When what you feel just makes you numb
With tender loving care.
Sometimes I answer you
In glib, noncommittal rhymes
Cause my heart is screaming,
Mind is begging
For something that is easier.
I try my best to hold on tight
To seize the day
To seize your hands
To love you more
Than any day, any lover before.
Sometimes I run away
In fear of things I’ve never known
When kisses last all night
When kisses make me smile
When I don’t want to stop staring at your eyes.
I try my best to just sit tight
To believe in this
To believe in trust
To learn from my mistakes
And not let go of a good thing.
Sometimes you smile
When I feel like the world is too much
When my back hurts
When the shift was busy
When my brain is numb.
I try my best to not melt away
Cause you turn into Mother T
Cause your smiles could kill
And it’s hard not to get carried away
When that’s what you really want.
Sometimes the bricks just fall down
Sometimes my friends have all left town
Sometimes I push my good side down
In favor of a quick release.
I could pretend that I’m just blind
Scarred by the love I’ve left behind
Refuse to say what’s on my mind
Just because I’m scared.
But even though my heart may bleed
I’ll take that chance, hope we succeed
In being what the other one needs
And taking risks unguaranteed.
I somehow think, and I believe
That love will conquer all you see,
Cause in you I find what I need
You may not be the Mother T
But there aren’t many of your breed
And I’m pretty sure she would agree
You’re all the saint I’m going to need.
