Just Because

Things aren’t getting worse
I’m afraid they’re getting better
Too bad it isn’t spring
I wish it wasn’t summer
My feelings are a withered rose--
They wash around but they can’t stay afloat
Just because you’re gone,
It doesn’t mean you have to be so hateful
Just ‘cause you’re alone,
It doesn’t mean you have to throw your life away
Where you were before, you never had to think about tomorrow
Now it is today, but you don’t have to drown yourself in sorrow
And at the end of every day
We’re floating away
And when there’s nothing left to do
We’re falling through
If everything around us is a lie
We’re going inside
If all the world around us fills with hate
Evaporate
There’s always an escape
There’s always a decision
And from the promenade
There’ll always be derision
But hope can coat the ground like snow
You will always push on and that I know
Yes, we can find a way
To float away, to laugh and play
And yes, we can run amok
Forget about our shoes and socks
And yes, it’s a childish game
And I don’t even know my name
As long as I learn to fly
I’ll always know that you’ll be mine…

The King of Boredom

It's so much easier to
End conversations
Than it is to start them
But I can't do either when I talk to you
I get so nervous
I get excited
Then I get depressed, but
Everything's better when it's unrequited
I'm the king
I'm the king
I'm the king
I'm the king
Of boredom
I have to exit
I'm sweating too much
I go to the parking lot
And lean my head against a tree
I wish that I could
Talk to you everyday
I wonder if you
Think the same thing about me
Sometimes it's hopeless
I'll never tell you
Just how I feel when
You're standing near me
And how it makes me
A different person
To hear you softly
To hear you speak so

Lassitude

I just can’t do anything
Lassitude, lassitude

The puzzle's done,
My books are burning.
It's so much fun
To see dust churning.
The heavy air
A house of learning
Flourescent glare
And thoughts of yearning.
I hide in verse
My mind is fetid
With every curse
That I have vetted.
But nothing hurts
If I don't let it
A present proud
A past pathetic.
But I can always hide between these shelves...
Safety in the stacks
No one's gonna mind you,
No one's gonna bind you
To their will
Safety in the stacks
No one is behind you
No one's gonna find you
Just stay still
Safety in the stacks
If you feel like leaving
You can find relief in
Every word.
Safety in the stacks
You can cry your heart out
Trying to forget about
What you've heard.
And after class
I always go where
The hurt won't last
But I can't stay there
The wooden womb
That I return to
Could be a tomb
If it should burn, so
I don't want sparks
To light the fuel that
Here in the dark
Covers the shelves flat
So keep from me
Don't even inquire
'cause chemistry
Might start the bonfire
And I can never hide between these shelves...
They say that you should think about happy times when you are sad,
So why is it that I think of misfortune when I'm glad?
Sometimes I just can't fall sleep after the day is done
But when I start to dream, I hope the morning never comes.
