I waltz in
To the casino floor
Of the MGM Grand
Let's play some more!
I insert the cash
The machine goes BLING BLING!
I pull the lever
The machine goes DING DING!
Five hundred dollars
Down the drain
So let's try again, and hope
It won't be in vain
Soon I'm out of cash
I leave Vegas in tears
It was all in vain
This was the worst of my fears...
Every day
My hands turn gray
Every day
They're gray as clay
Every day
I'm locked and loaded
Sculptin' my clay
My gaze is focused
What will be
My sculpture today?
How do I find out?
There's only one way!
Just experiment
Just try something new
What you make each time
It's all up to YOU!
...
"What did you do?"
I made you lunch.
"What did you do?"
I made you brunch.
"What did you do?"
I cooked so you don't have to.
"But why, my dear?"
I cooked because I love you....
Feels good to get it off my chest
Keeping this secret is not for the best
I have to tell them, there's no other way
Feels good to tell Mom and Dad, "I'm gay!"...
Hearts
As they beat
I cringe
Visible through my mask
But nobody notices
Hearts
As they beat
I observe
The surgeon puts on gloves
And begins surgery
Hearts
As they beat
He explains
And he demonstrates
Me and my classmates assist
Hearts
As they beat
We save lives
Through an open heart surgery
We do our parts...
What the hell?
Timothy noticed those words written on the gravestone, the words etched into it in quite neat cursive writing.
It was a bright and sunny day in the Lockwood Cemetery. All around, birds chirped and green trees towered over the many tombstones, most with bouquets of roses. It was an expansive graveyard; the tombstones, scattered all over the green grass, stretched as far as the n...
I don't want to stick out like a weed
In a field of wildflowers
If people see me for my differences
They'll make me cry for hours
I don't understand what's wrong with me
I'm afraid of people seeing me
For who I am because I hate how they treat me
Why can't they just let me be?
...
As I’m lost in zero gravity
I float among the stars
I’m in between dozens of them
As I stare right at Mars
Even if I die today
I’d still be at peace
Even if this is the day
That my life would cease
I’ve lived a full life to this point
So I let out joyful screams
As I have the time of my life
I’ve achieved all my dreams
I’m lost in zero gravity
Staring right at Mars
At fifty years old, I’m at pe...
Jules immediately reached for the flashlight by his bed. Even though it was pitch black, he knew exactly where it was and could even reach for it through the dust from the damage to his ceiling.
As he turned on the flashlight, he was unprepared for what he saw. All around him lay pieces of concrete on the floor, some large, some small, some merely specks of dust. An earthquake had hit just now...
Joey felt a sharp pain in his foot.
“Ouch! That hurts!” he yelped. His fiancee, Janet, chuckled as she bent down to pry the crab off of his big toe and set him back down like a fragile seashell on the white sand of Venice Beach.
“Thanks babe,” Joey said as he rubbed his toe. After a few minutes, he felt better. They kept strolling along the beach, almost as if nothing had happened - except f...
