A life more ordinary than any story is crafted before me and every facet of my existence is based around the fact that when I'm gone, I won't be missed, Still they'll insist on sifting through my bones to reconstruct these broken poems brought on by suburban America, and life in a "normal" home But the enemy was always within me, see, from the time I turned 13 I tried constantly to break free from the precepts of society And as time went by, I breathed an air I perceived to be clean from everything conceived in me that the culture of my youth told me to believe I carried them around on my brain like weights, they constantly drained my mind of every pain and negative aspect that being human lays claim to And when I came to, I had a pain that had bled through a hole in my brain that opened along with my eyes and out went the lies that told me everything would be fine They told me not to worry I've got a whole lifetime to grow up, "What's the hurry?" What's the hurry?! The hurry is that I'm infuriated by the fact that I'm going on 21 and I still live at home The hurry is that I'm worried I might collapse prematurely not having accomplished everything I wanted to have done I'm not afraid no one else will hear my song I'm just afraid it will never get sung.
