Burnt

I see something in your face

That no one else sees

There’s something in your eyes

No one would ever believe

You look up at the world

That looks down upon you

You want to be a part of something

That doesn’t want any part of you

Yet I see

The eternal hate that should have been

Doesn’t exist for

Another feeling that could have been

A beautiful life that would have been

If you hadn’t been burnt

I can see inside of you

What you really need

Isn’t the love or respect of the world

But something less demeaned

It’s acknowledgment that you crave

For all the sacrifices that you made

For all the hurt you had to brave

Just for being alive

It’s a different world that I see

From the one that you perceive

Yours is forever dark

But doesn’t miss the light

Yet I see

The eternal hate that should have been

Doesn’t exist for

Another feeling that could have been

A beautiful life that would have been

If you hadn’t been burnt

Broken Mornings

Broken mornings scar my life

I’ve decided to runaway

I’m riding on a wave in the empty ocean

You will all soon fade away

Horizons bleak, the sun shining down

My neck, it tells me to give up

I still hang on, just for the heck of it

Coz I don’t really wanna go down in flames

Up ahead, I see a ray of hope

Which is ironic, coz it’s day

But something about it looks different

I guess I’ll take my chances, anyway

I don’t wanna be the one who’s left out

I don’t wanna be the one who always says

That, ‘You know I could’ve been a real somebody

Had my fate turned another way’

I guess this is how it feels like

To be devoid, of all senses

To put your faith in something so passionately

That your own true self feels light years away
