To Grow Up
No one taught me how to grow up.
Ripped from the sun kissed days of youth
Into the bleak, wintery abyss of maturity.
No one prepared me for this.
I know everyone goes through it,
I understand it’s part of life,
That in order to be accepted we must “grow”,
But I don’t understand why.
Why should we have to give up
The only things that make life beautiful,
in order to survive in this world?
As children we understand what’s important:
The connections between each other,
Singing songs and holding hands,
that play and make believe are sacred…
Why must these life-giving entities disappear?
Couldn’t we compromise?
Until we come to a place where “childishness” is accepted
in the adult heart
I will never feel welcome…
In a world that shuts such wonder out.

Freak Show
I’m flying high, I’m dragging down
I’m smiling with my frown. Was lost when I got found
I’ve got it all, I’ll never start
My life’s together and apart
It’s either too sweet or too tarte
But I’d rather be right here, than at some other freakshow
At some fucked up fair, than at some other freakshow
Where you’re not there

Road to Glory
Fucking Leach
Sucking and twisting life from me
He don’t know
That only darkness sets me free
And my lifeblood is a poison
To those who taste to steal
I am nobody’s meal on the road to glory
I Know the Road to glory
Better than you’ll ever know
I walk with light inside me,
Though darkness has a hold
And I’ve been knocked off my feet,
But I’m laughing through the ash
And I’m sold on the road to glory
On the road, road, road to glory

Like a Bomb
Oh no, don’t blow, stay with me, come on, stay with me
Learn to, control, your soul, act with love
Baby, listen to my plea!
You’re like a Bomb, we’re running out of time, you see?
I can’t stay here, if all you do is turn on me
I root for us with all my heart, but one wrong move, you’ll burst us apart
This is the point where you decide: It’s do or die
Cause we won’t last, if you persist to smile then lie
I won’t trust you, good though you may be, if you cheat with demons
Then you say you love me. If you don’t change, I’ll always hear the tick
And I might grin but inside I’ll be sick, I’ll walk on glass and bloody feet won’t last for life.
