"We could start by listing all the reasons why we can't have this.
For instance,
Class.
Sweaty palms, winded breaths, I jolt awake,
And unexpectedly you were there, without a moment to forsake.
My eyelids were heavy as you sung smooth and lowly,
Why is finding happy upbeat songs so hard to do?
They are always on the radio (the same ones over and over)
But as soon as you try to find one alone they are like
Windows down
Engine's going
Music drowns the sounds of the roadside roaring
Leaving town
Songs are flowing
Music drowns the sounds of those left snoring
Melodic cloud
Alive and soaring
She always allowed music to follow her around.
She tapped out rhythms
and be-bopped and scat. She crooned
Stranded on an island all alone,
No company or friends to call my own
Just sitting in the quiet
Trying just to fight it
But madness comes and goes
In silence.
I need some noise, a song, a sound.

Hands bloody from plastic
Banging hard on sound
Hoping for listening ears
Noise wasted on the deaf
Long lost peers
Dying in lonely oceans
Listening for what they’ve lost
What's wrong with the radio?
It's playing lies.
Everything is, "Sex and money!"
Where is the truth?
Why can't it feature better bands, like Story of the Year?
You spew forth the archetype, for what We should be
"We" being the youth from low-income families
You alone hold the virtues of our character
Little known fact that you're no more than just an actor
