Judge Me

my shade doesn't count

when it comes to persipitation

i've become a drought

i'm not so smart

like spit in the wind

what exactly happend?

such a silent grave

we built here

under the sun

it won't help anyone

to hear the silence

at the steel entrance

just another atmosphere

filled with fear

such a silence grave

that we water

evil seeking plotter

so many secrets

hidden debts

nobody knows us

when we scream and cuss

makes them blush

to read about us

if our story was a book

no one would dare to look

between the lines

snow flake flurry

will fall and bury

but dirt is still there

for those who care

naked and bare

say it-

life's not fair

they judge what we wear

because they're jealous

of my hair

and i don't cover my skin

because of the opinions you share

it'll be okay

is all we dare to say

they tell us to stay calm

when life in general is wrong

God save us

to redeem our conscience

flashbacks of earlobes

...kissing will commence

after i receive my lisence

tightrope soldier

we fight before we fall

so balance on my shoulders

may i ask for a miracle?

we both have blue eyes

so i know that we'll be friends

DNA is important

who likes split ends?

quench intollerence

i just want to be me

without judgement choriography

too much love

just enough

to keep us sane

then lock us back in our cage

using a crane

God forbid you touch us!

we're diseased

you'll never be pleased

with the way i skip

all over the street

in summer heat

happy and free

but you're not perfect

you practice poligamy

guess who gets the pity?

who may measure

my craniums preasure?

who may really judge

my lust from my love?

all of these fingers

stabbing at my face

giving a piece of their minds

putting me in my place

a harp is no good

without it's strings

so we hide behind hoods

acting in Christain themes

our beach made of snow

an icy undertow

a flower without a smell

but who can really tell?

a curtain can only cover

so much sun

so many bullets

can fit the barrel of a gun

shhh don't tell anyone

we're really not that powerful

when we're considered too colorful

countless cracks in the pavement

the screaming of the sea

you heard of the engagement?

so now you must damn me

jealous stars

competing for brightness

a scratched picture sitting alone

memories that haunt us

following footsteps

that lead to nowhere

following fingers

to lacey underwear

*no i didn't swear*

shaddows hide our beauty

mud turns to clay

but what can i say?

i wasn't perfect today

we all look for tigers

that can't bite

but finances are tight

so kiss goodbye to the sky

(maybe that's not the way to fly)

after all-

lips are just lips

eyes are just eyes

a crown can be put on anyone's head

a lucky clover dies

sanity is over rated

who is really sane?

come on- we all play this game!

ben franklin breathed like me

arostatle had eyes that longed

tom edison cried like me

same lyrics- same song

maybe it wasn't the screams that made history

it was the whispers

so whisper in my ear

kiss my tear

let's leave the wisdom

to those starring owls

and leave the dirt

on our towels

the rutine of a clock

pushing to go faster

or at least farther

or in a different direction!

oh God please

tension release!

but it's held back

by such an awkward beat

and an echo crack

how do we cheat?

here's to the life that you didn't lead...

here's to the mouths that you didn't feed...

forget the impossed guilt

you're not to be built

with factory blocks

with fancy locks

you know me

i'm human

low expectations guarenteed

*go figure* i bleed

so let's build a tree house

and live free

because this is me...
