Broken Teenage Glory

This probably isn't very good but, I'm new, so........
And the verses are the same both times before and after the chorus. Criticism is encouraged and wanted, so please give me pointers if you feel like it. (Just please don't be unpleasant) thanks! 



We build bridges just to break them down
Fix our hearts, just to tear them out. 

It's so unhealthy 
But we don't care at all 

We know we're rejects
It makes us proud 


We spin so fast, and then we hit the ground 
It doesn't matter, cause we just  laugh it off 

And come tomorrow
Well do it all again 

You call us crazy 
But it never gets under our skin

We're invincible 
In our broken teenage glory 

We ripped out all the pages 
And wrote a mess of a story 

So we don't care 
About the whispers and the stares 

We're living life the way it ought to be 
While we still are young and free

Silent Walls and Summer Nights

This is my third song I've ever written, so I feel really happy and somewhat as if I've achieved something great. Also, I really appreciate the comments on my last two poems. You guys are awesome, and it's great to feel welcomed. 
This is something I wrote at night, and it's very short, I'm afraid. It's inspired by feelings of depression and uncertainty, but feel perfectly free to interpret it as you see fit.  The "oh's" at the end look really cheap and basic, but they're carrying the rest of the chorus melody, which is hummed. It's sort of a slow, moody song. 
Again, criticism is desired and encouraged, so if there's something you think would make my work better, by all means speak up. As long as it's politely worded, we're cool.

Verses: It's late
I should be in bed 
Too many complicated thoughts are running 'round inside my head 

Lately I've 
Been preoccupied 
With morbid thoughts for no good reason
I blame my teenage mind 

Chorus:
 Will you, stranger
Please tell me 
If this feeling lasts forever 
Or fades away with the night 

If you know 
Please let me 
'Cause these walls are silent 
As the grave this summer night 

Oh,oh,oh
Oh,oh,oh 

Oh,oh,oh
Oh,oh,oh

Dreaming

I though about you today. 
I dreamt of You last night. 
I saw you face in a distant place where
Everything was right. 

I found that I still know you
Still recognize your face
Even across the blurry voids
Of time and frozen space. 

I only see you in my dreams. 
I only hear your voice when I'm fast asleep. 

Are you a just a voice inside my head?
Guilt over words I left unsaid? 

Cause when I wake up its all gone 
Like smoke upon the wind

Escape

Hey I'm Back!! After 1 year it feels like I need to say something instead of just popping up again randomly. But I hope people enjoy this one. Wrote it as a song, so it might not flow exactly right in some places, but hope you enjoy! 

Brendon



I wish that I
Could freeze in time 
Go back to simple days


When you and I would play outside 
Deaf to blacks and greys. 

I wish that I 
Could stop the pain 
From eating at my eyes

And dulling all my world away 
To empty blacks and whites 


I want to be alone
But don't leave me lonely 



Come fly with me away from here
To places we don't know 

There's room on board this magic ride 
Enough to fit us both 

We'll sail away beyond the clouds 
They'll never touch us again 


We'll be free at last 
To dream at last

Hooks

I wrote this song as a sort of self-therapy. I've only just started up writing again, so I'd really really love criticism, in as much detail as possible if you have it or feel like giving it. Only one rule: please be polite and keep your criticisms within reason. 

 (Verse 1) 
We pay for brand new faces,
Cause they don't like our own 

They say that it's not good enough,
So buy a better one 

We're dressing up our pain,
In silks and five star shoes 

Treat things as if they're people

Now people just get used

(Chorus) 

The shiny things that draw our hearts are vultures in disguise,
Circling 'round our heads until it's time to strike 

Without a sound, come shooting down, like bullets in the night 

And we're to numb and drunk off pleasure,
To look up at the sky 


(Verse 2) 

We party with our shades on,
The world is bleeding rose

Careful not to take them off though, 
You're saner with them on 

(Chorus repeats) 



(Bridge) 

Instrumental 



(Chorus repeats final time)
