[Verse 1 – spoken like a journal entry]

I don’t really hate anyone, I just get tired,

Of small talk that feels like math homework,

Of smiles that don’t mean anything,

Of people who ask “How are you?”

and don’t wait long enough for the answer.

Sometimes I think I’m just mad

Because I want to be loved differently —

Not louder,

Just… honestly.

...

There’s a germ going ‘round that’s new

Some say that its worse than the flu

It’s causing a scare

‘Cause it spreads through the air

Nobody knows what to do

Everyone at the store looks so bitter

I got on my phone; looked at twitter

“These lines are so long”

“The toilet paper’s all gone”

Now what will i bring to the shitter?!

When Dr. Fauci said he found a vaccine

It was like nothing that I’d ever ...

Your voice as smooth as water

That runs through the bay

The sounds you make are mesmerizing

With every word you say

Your love burns hot like fire

I feel the heat through your touch

The feeling reassuring

That we should be as such

Your soul as refreshing as air

As if it were a brisk autumn day

Your energy surrounds me

and it never goes away

But still nothing of you stone

Like earth has disapp...

(Verse 1)

I still hear your laughter down the hall

Like echoes painted on the wall

Your tiny shoes sit by the door

But you don’t run in them anymore

I still tuck in your favorite bear

Still fold the clothes you used to wear

Your toys still quiet in their place

No time can fill this empty space

(Chorus)

I miss you every single day

Your laughter, your light, the things you’d say

I reach ...

The day that i saw you

I couldnt believe

You’re the most beautiful girl

That I’d ever seen

I miss your sounds

And your head on my cheek

I’d hold onto you

Until you fell asleep

Fly

Fly far away

Please don’t forget me

‘cause i have to stay

So ill wait

Ill stay in this cage

Until you return

And you take me away

Out of this cage

You can now spread your wings

Light up the world

With the songs tha...

you have gotten everything handed to you,

Yet you tell me you’re struggling from your four bedroom house.

You tell me you’re broke,

Even after you told me you never let your bank account get under $1000.

You show me all of these things that you get to do with your kids.

Here i am, working my ass off to where i barely see my kids.

Your first car was given to you at 17,

I had to buy my first car at ...

The kids are wide awake,

It’s 10 at night God sake!

There are no more breaths to take.

I can’t help but feel so mad.

These kids, they always cry.

No matter how i try,

My day just drags on by.

But i swear its not all bad.

Hard times are just a trial

Sit back and watch a while

Because when you see them smile

It’s so hard to still be sad

The days that i can stay

At home with them and play,

I sure ...

I met this pretty girl

Thought “lets see where this thing goes”

She looked like she could hurl

“A booger’s hanging from your nose”

She a look of doom

And wouldn’t look me in the eye

When i went to the bathroom

I guess I didn’t zip my fly

It almost made her sob

And ruined her whole day

When i said I have no job

And she would have to pay

When the day just started

To seem like we would blend

I sat...

The moment you were born,

The ligh reflecting off of your pale skin,

It seemed as though you were an angel

Gleaming with the light of love.

I Held my breath until i heard your first gasp.

The way your hand wrapped around my finger,

It filled my heart with emotions I didn’t know i had.

Your beautiful eyes looking up at me,

Telling me that you felt safe.

I never thought I could feel the love

that i ...

My hair,

Where is it going?

And where did this grey come from?

It was brown yesterday.

My eyes,

Why is everything so blurry?

And what are these lines on my face?

I swear i went to bed with perfect skin.

My knees,

Why are they so sore?

Why do they keep popping?

I was playing tag with my kids last week.

My back,

What made it hurt this bad?

Why can’t i stand up straight?

My posture has been perfe...
