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
