How Time Flies

Intro/read aloud: You deserve a bro hug and a friendly pat... That's the spirit - keep going forward You're getting back of track...I'll try to encourage you without acting awkward... I leave your side Without a word... I can't help, but hide How time flies...how I fly... I hear your cries and I don't know why... I am a caged bird...bird...bird... Verse 1: When I go to sleep, I have visions that are oh so deep I feel like the walls are closing in on me The walls...the walls... I hear them calling... My spirit falls...falls...falls...away in rainbow-blotched walls Pound to the rhythm of my heart Pound to the-pound to the-pound to the rhythm of my heart And I hope you won't tear it apart... I wanna move on I wanna go forward and live my dream From dusk to dawn, I will be on a joyous team of good self-esteem Refrain: B-b-b-body quake I was born a dancer in a dawn's wake (a sudden realization that you are gifted as a dancer) B-b-b-body quake Quit hating and start loving for everyone's sake Pre-chorus: Anxiety works me up But, I won't give up Gravity pulls me down But, I won't be discouraged and wear an upside down frown Upside...upside... Down...down... Frown...frown.... Chorus (rap): How time flies...(x3) I remember in my past...when happiness seemed like it never last I remember in my past... That I had confidence with no end or it seemed at first I saw how it morphed into negativity so fast - I've gone through so much in the past...in the past...in the past... So I'm starting to live in the present To love life and live it to the fullest extent I repent of my faults and I want to forgive myself You shouldn't put yourself down too...be true to yourself... Recently, I became a Positive Poe, so be courteous and don't be negative - at least I'm not the best or the worst Angry at the labels in society... That make us feel worthy or rather shitty... Burning in flames... Burning...burning... How time flies...flies... Jealousy doesn't hurt me this time - I still go through my lows and highs... Lows, lows and highs, highs How time flies...flies... How time flies...(x3) Verse 2: Don't wanna be called vile names... Vile...names... How time flies...flies... You're shouting while I'm quiet As the midnight grave... I'm a night owl, I do growl But, for the most part, I behave and be brave I hear the hyenas howl... In my mind's eye Eye, eye, I can't deny Nor can I make up a white lie... B-b-b-body quake I was born a dancer in a dawn's wake (a sudden realization that you are gifted as a dancer) B-b-b-body quake Quit hating and start loving for everyone's sake I can be confident I guarantee it and I must admit I was always meant To be a hit.....even if I'm not, I will use my wit and not throw a child's fit Refrain Pre-chorus Chorus Verse 3: I throw a childish little fit Self-control was hard to manage just a bit I get angry and I cuss Yes, I regret my fowl fuss... Fretful rain falls...falls... From my eyes since I last saw your goodbye's... Boy, how time flies... How time flies... How...time...flies... I'm trying to sleep in bed But, I feel this utter dread Insomnia is killing me softly My conditions are harming me My body can dance in zigzags My mind is humble, but my mouth brags I was dancing like a swinging swagger (someone who is swag and dances like Michael Jackson haha) I wince in pain, but I grin it all away...I smile during hardship...I'm a doer, not only a talker... How time flies...how time flies... Flies...oh my word... I'm so so so so absurd Refrain Pre-chorus Chorus Concise Chorus: Burning in flames... Burning...burning... How time flies...flies... Jealousy doesn't hurt me this time - I still go through my lows and highs... Lows, lows and highs, highs How time flies...flies... How time flies...and it makes us warm or cold Be bold and just do what we're told Rejoice and be glad...don't let out our screams and sorrow That naughty sorrow Of yesterday's tomorrow Cries out to us, telling us depression lies... In our ears; then, we departed and go our separate ways...I regret those goodbye's Verse 4: Don't wanna be called vile names... Vile...names... How time flies...flies... You're shouting while I'm quiet As the midnight grave... I'm a night owl, I do growl But, for the most part, I behave and be brave I hear the hyenas howl... In my mind's eye Eye, eye, I can't deny Nor can I make up a white lie... Commercials of bliss... Fulfill my eyesight in this abstract abyss Turn off the phone of alone Give me the box and I'll shut down the television of happy-go-lucky, sugar-coated vision... Happy-go-lucky... I want to be happy... Happy...happy... For real...and it's no big deal how I feel... God's Word in mind...it's my appeal, so turn the wheel of time Watch time unwind tonight Tonight...tonight... Concise Chorus: Burning in flames... Burning...burning... How time flies...flies... Jealousy doesn't hurt me this time - I still go through my lows and highs... Lows, lows and highs, highs How time flies...flies... Don't wanna be called vile names... Vile...names... How time flies...flies... How time flies...you can sympathize with my lows and highs... You're shouting while I'm quiet As the midnight grave... I'm a night owl, I do growl But, for the most part, I behave and be brave I hear the hyenas howl... In my mind's eye Eye, eye, I can't deny Nor can I make up a white lie... Pre-chorus Refrain Pre-chorus Bridge: I'm trying to sleep in bed But, I feel this utter dread I will try to be happy instead Maybe I need to get back on those nighttime meds I tried drinking tea that would work for sleep...but when I close my eyes, I keep seeing blotches of greens, yellows, blues oranges, reds And other colors I can't think up on right now People might think it weird...because I'm a weird person...I was wired this unique way somehow... Ohhhhh ahhhhhh Ehhhhh ooooooooh Mmmmhmmm hmmm Read aloud (conclusion): I beam on stage, I am a free bird out of his cage Forget about the timid rage that I feel...are we on the same page? Page...page...page... Boy, how time flies... I'll never wave goodbye to your replies... Hell no I would never do that...mhm! I'm not that mean, so here's my Philadelphia to you Sorry for being so heartless... I'm so sorry for putting you through all this distress Because of the way I was feeling back then... Depression swept over me and it will again...
