Beautiful Minds

He visits altercations on a daily basis

Of a not so soon enough wedding day kiss

Damaged by headlights and the careless left lane

His beds' been ridden of the wrong Mary Jane

Even recalling the uselessness of the brakes

To their daughter, he's determined to disguise the pain

For every play-date, he changes his name

He collects his composition without a chance of rain

He prays to a God without nothing much to give

But the babies cries and his own bruised lips

To save another girl from being deprived to live

C'mon, man. You know you've got to do this.

Some nights, he can't take it

He's wrapped in two blankets

Beside both princesses, don't know what he's thinking

But he takes it in without a moment wasted

So glad you're making it

 

Without the mother

It's been something other

But he holds on this living Wonder

 

She's only seventeen

Without a single meaning 

Of this disproportionate life she's been meeting

The mirrors wake to a girl who won't stop bleeding

Can't see past the red from the girl she's been beating

She's aware she's developing

But can't take society

Can't own up to good grades

Can't find her sobriety 

The love of her life doesn't know who he's dating

Stuck in reverse, she still wants to change Me

Who could she be?

Who'd love her for the words she'd breathe?

She's made up of fairy tales and ancient poetry

The only things left she finds herself believing

in are empty outlets and a frustrated family.

 

Without a day to seethe

Without nights of deceit

She deserves more than this everyday disbelief

 

I can't help but say this

You are more than these places

You find yourself facing

You are more than your brain thinks

 

Quit wasting it too much imagination
