See What You Saw and Ignore My Perverse Call

I was only sixteen for a moment 
Then seventeen for a second 
Who would have thought I couldn’t hold it
The kid who could do it all 
Who would have thought he would grow up and fall down
He never guessed that those speeding years would be the best
And remembered in tumbling tears
The old familiar faces are no longer around

So now I’m leaving on a journey 
Burning through the night 
Leaving some bloodstains to frame out the scars
That’ll jar our memories and blind the true life dreams
Now I’m feigning 
Killing myself by dreaming
I’m scheming on redeeming my former state
This time I won’t abate 
It’ll be straight over the broken glass
Another unspoken forsaken heart that I’m concentrated on breaking

Baby hip hop pop the top 
Ignition as result of the drop
Stop think and listen 
Silence listen 
Quiet please another tragic vision 
Lets mop up this which glistens 
I was christened as pure
Raised as evil
Lets seesaw
Lets silence your broken call
Appall them all
Why walk when I can’t crawl

The perfect fix in a simple magic trick
So damn smooth
Splendidly slick
Now for the trick 
Two simple props key to male my heart stop
Just a boy and a mirror 
And all his fear of what times brung
I’ll fix what I can’t admit
Lets silence the dreamer inside
Not to lie so if you would say goodbye 
Time to live or die
Three times thrice this won’t happen twice
I’ll look in the mirror see what I saw
Take the saw edges serrated 
Time to cut out the heart that never made it

Don’t you dare try to save it 
I’ll brave it out
Just whisper 
I can whisper like a shout 
I’m insurmountable
My dreams are unaccounted for 
Living life as a whore
I’ll give and give
Please won’t you take and take

I’ll drown in my personal fire water lake 
Condemn me for being real
Would you rather me be fake
Another choice for you to make
