Age of 16
Trying to fit in this crazy scene
Bottles it up and keeps it inside
Covers the scars from all the lies
Daddy’s good girl
She’ll fake a smile
Better than you’ve seen in some time
The music she plays
Will help her escape
All of the noise drowns out the hate
There’s nothing to fear
It gets better with time
Just breathe and dry your eyes
You’ve got so much to lose
And nothing to show
You’ll find peace and I should know
He is the star of the football team
She is the homecoming queen
The artistic one
The chameleon
They just want to be someone
What the others can’t see
The cries and the pleas
Will it be too late to find release?
There’s nothing to fear
It gets better with time
Just breathe and dry your eyes
You’ve got so much to lose
And nothing to show
You’ll find peace and I should know
Why can’t you hear them
Screaming inside?
You can’t make it better after they die
Sort them out
Go to the source
I can’t bare to hear this anymore
When will it end?
How can we pretend?
How far does it have to go?
Another name
Is added to the list
The whole world is in shock of it
Another young boy
Another young girl
Couldn’t take this crazy world
Who is too blame?
The kids in the yard?
Or the parents?
Where does it start?
How does it end?
Can we comprehend
The weight of everything?
There’s nothing to fear
It gets better in time
Just breathe and dry your eyes
You’ve got so much to lose
And nothing to show
You’ll find peace and I should know
So stand tall
Life is a gift
Show what you can give
Reach for the stars
Conquer them all
You may fly and you may fall
But it’s life
This is life
And it’s your life after all
