my parents scream
embrace the demons who crave
inside, i am alert and petrified
i am awake and happy
i will fight through the valleys of cheap lows
through open and dying work
i will show up for God’s different calling
and embrace the listener an honest friend
son / daughter beautiful and positive
a real friend hurts good
teases absence when they sing along
I am laughing and crying
all my friends are extreme
a cheap fight for just because
it’s different this time
I am better high
I am awake and happy
I am so fucking on it hurts
