I want you to know.
the things ive never dared
to ever share before
are tucked neatly in order
right behind this locked door
and id be glad to show you
and get these skeletons out
i really need some space these days
cause its hard to ignore the shouting
and pouting and doubting of this life
but the key is tied secure around my neck
and everytime i awake i go to check
if its still there along with all my secrets
but im sick of this burden
im sick of this fear taking me over
i wanna be done and grab a four leaf clover
to fix all this bad luck thats on my plate
what kids is meant to devour this s***
in the state, to clean the slate that
he dirtied on his own
he’ll take in as much as he can
and stay up late to grab the phone
make one call, to speak to the one he loves
before he tumbles down into the downfall
that we all indure
some when were old and broke
some when were young and stoked
but in order to fall into place
and let this puzzle align into the face
were supposed to mold out to be
we must find that one person
and ask them to snatch the key
from the string around our throats
have them venture into the wilderness without our coats
out onto our own to become
what nature intended to see from
the heights of the heavens
and depths of the hells
and somethings in his head ringing bells
so loud and clear but its all a blur
where do we go from here?
the voices tell him the path they cleared out
but he squints his eyes and shakes his head
drops the key and decides to leave
into the bushes where no path lays
he decides on his own to betray
all that they ever said
and to live his life instead.
