about

Lets make the world a better place. Yeah?

lyrics

Im just so sick, of myself, how it is
Im just so shy, I need to learn,
To come out of hiding

But im afraid!
No im petrified
That if i do, ill surely lose
The very thing separating
Me from all of you

Oh every letter that i write
Im sure that it is my last
I can honestly see myself
Turning that deathly hourglass

But your so young!
What have you done?
The questions i like to leave undone
For if i give them an answer
Live will go by so much faster

Im just fine with what i am now
A master of these tears and laughter
An OCDish, creative, manic, depressant

Im just 20 and from what i hear
Its just the beginning
But no one ever clarified
If this is a short story

So ill just continue with what i do
These books, poetry and what have you
I really dont mind sitting uncomfortably
If the sun is what is on TV

Can someone really change all at once?
If ther born on the cusp
Making claims their behavior may
Just may make their past okay

But i believe that your just a make-up
Of the Troubles that have came up
So please spare me your excuses
Ill Take you as you is, and we can move from it

These good things dont have to end
If living in a life of pretend
So lets rejoice in another hands
Simply because we can

And we can all become a master
A master of these tears and laughter
Maybe the world problems will be solved
And all are worries gone.
