Now listen to what I have to say
For the wicked hide in the shadows of this day
You know nothing of what is of me
You may know the color of my eyes
But not of what they are capable to see
Now here, I've warned this upon you
For not every smile is ever true
Everything is not set in stone
You may say there is an answer
When nothing is completely known
Close your eyes, please understand
That what you may rely on is a blood-thirsty hand
Unknown of what they truly are
Watch think before you turn and talk
Someone so close to you can be so far
So remember before you go on and say
"But why would anyone do this to me anyway?"
Human nature can be full of evil and greed
Unwatched, A monster born within the shadows, full only of self pleasure and need.
It would seem,
At times,
Sometimes,
That we can
Only grow,
To be as
Authentic as
What we are willing
To connect to,
And embrace
In the world.
We eventually
Become
What we hide
From seeing
Is within ourselves,
And that
Very same thing
Which also
Repulses us,
About what we
Think...
We see
In others.

"Emo," they call me
I respond to my "name"
They laugh at me
I hang my head in shame
I walk down the hallways
I do things my way
They say, "hey, emo! You can't stay!"
I pick up my notebook and walk away
I'll stand up for myself
Just not today...
I don't fit in
People stare at me, like I am a sin
I won't fight back
My world is already black
I want to run away
I want to escape
I want to hide away
I don't want my fate
I wish it was too late
I never even got a chance
To change this hate
I know there were others
That came before me
Just like you know
That there were others before you
This is how it is, can’t you see
But I wouldn’t have
It any other way
Because they made us
Who we are in this moment
So I wouldn’t want it any other way
So this love is ours
Just ours, so lets make it happen
Marriage and children are out
But even still, lets have everything
So we cannot be misshapen
So we will stand strong
And stand together
Because I know
Any storm, any storm
Together, we can weather
Let’s keep our love stable, strong
Because it’s where I belong
In your arms
Where I can be held tight
Where nothing can be wrong
Let us be together for,
Lets start with, 5,000,000 hours
And we’ll go from there
We will see what this world can do
For us, because this love is ours
