My bestest friend in the whole world is a lyrical genius<3
Come see him tomorrow (and me!!) Friday March 6th at Hot Topic in Garden State Plaza.

I wasn't born, I was made
from the songs that you used to sing.
Oh how the chords you played though distorted
would resonate and soak into my skin
But when I wake up all these days feel so dead
as if the wind was today's last breath.
well in the morning John,
can't you call me and sing that song that makes me feel so alive?
If your voice cracks, I really won't mind
'cause I'm a sucker for imperfections.
I love the way we live in dissonance
the sounds never sounded so sweet.
I hear the truth when I hear you sing....hah
I've seen smoking guns and shooting stars
but nothing will escape fate like a flaw
so you don't have to worry about me.
cause honestly, I believe; I am free..I am free.. I am free.
Well I've been in a rut for like 18 years
where I swallow my tongue, make it disappear.
Just like loose change dropped in the cracks between
square cement blocks that surround the streets
But, I don't need much-just something real
not something to touch, something to feel
something like love, something with mistakes
something that no machine can make
cause I've grown so numb and it baffles me
that there's no more love in humanity
all the nuts and bolts and all, you see
we all need to live more efficiently
I wasn't born, I was made
on an assembly line in some factory
I'm a gutless war machine
or at least I'm supposed to be.
So, won't you please Johnston for me?
Oh, I can hardly hear but I'm still listening
I've seen smoking guns and shooting stars
but nothing will escape fate like a flaw.
so you don't have to worry about me,
cause honestly, I believe, I believe, I believe...
No you don't have to worry about me
cause honestly, I am free, I am free, I am free, I am free, I AM FREE.
