YOLO

YOLO

Fuck all the bullshit!

You just have to laugh.

Do what you want,

fuck the aftermath.

You only live once,

is this generation's creed;

But a life of regret,

is what it really means.

Not treat your body and spirit,

with careless regard.

You only live once,

so live with your heart.

Follow your dreams,

give love and receive;

And do give a care,

about the people you meet.

But don't give a shit,

if they treat you like crap,

use and abuse you,

and put knives in your back.

And who gives a toss,

if you try and you lose?

“You gave it a go,”

should be good enough for you.

And who gives a hoot,

if people see you as strange?

Feel with your heart,

think with your brain.

You only live once,

so make it your best;

We only get one,

nothing more, nothing less.

Over It

Over It

You can only treat someone like shit for so long,

Before they finally see,

all that is wrong.

That maybe you're not all you appear to be,

That façade you portray?

It's crumbling and weak.

And that deepest of fears,

that you've always known,

That you are doomed forever,

to be alone.

Junk

Junk

that stinging pinch on your softest of skin

watching your life cloud inside that barrel

ready to plunge; head first into oblivion

the only place you can never take your pain

that feeling of warmth travelling ever upward

riding on a beating current of life and lies

doing it's work to take you out of this dirt

that's polluted your mind since before forever

and when it hits, it hits hard and you're reeling

you're gone, you have vacated your shell

and every little bit of pain you were feeling

has been numbed, left down below to be still

sooner or later you will have to come back

less you will suffer forever in your mind

but that feeling of sun, of floating on your back

is only a needle away

To Be Rescued

To Be Rescued

She waits and waits
for her rescuer.
For that perfect man
to come and save her.
But the men who come
and the same that go,
Aren't that perfect one
she's dreamed of though.

If only she knew
that her rescuer,
Doesn't exist in her life
or anyone else's either.
He is but an illusion
of who she needs to be.
She's her own saviour
if she could only see.

She waits and waits
for her rescuer.
For him to come to her
take her and save her.
But that day'll never come
he'll never come to help
never come to her aid.
She can only save herself.

Used Worn

Used Worn

Like a train over a coin,

squash me on your tracks.

Abuse me like a rose,

when the wild winds attack.

Use me like a needle,

put me deep under your skin.

I'll wear this mask forever,

haunting you with this grin.

Boobies

Boobies

Show me your Boobies,

And I'll show you my Cock.

I'd so love to see them,

I enjoy bird watching a lot.

Come Away

Come Away

Come away with me,
Let's run, run away.
We can go anywhere,
And there we'll stay.
As long as I've you,
With me by my side,
We can go anywhere,
And there we will hide.
