There are times I wish it would always be the middle of the night.
Everything is calm, still and you can hear everything beyond your door if you listen well.
They say to understand someone you have to walk a mile in their shoes
Well I’m sure that’s been proven undeniably true
But it all sounds rather exhausting
Judgment, I give
Voices, I hear
Stories, they tell
Shoes, I stand in
I stand where they stand
I say what I know
I voice what I understand
I see judgment
Some nights I won’t want to go out.
Because I love you--
And because you love me--
You won’t question why.
You need some ‘guy time’.
We run to the
Lies that tell us
Everything’s gonna be alright
If we use them
And that sounds stupid
But us teenagers
The Specters speak with power conjured lies;
For them whose eyes the truth cannot abide.
From silver tongues they try to shatter ties;
Their thoughts defiled are never defied.
