I'll either die today

Or live forever

In the summer sun

Or winter weather

I'll lose myself

And become a ghost

I already forgot

What I loved the most

Remember who I was

Or don't remember me at all

Will you be in mourning

When the last songbird falls?

Surrounded by the word

But feeling so alone

Standing by myself

Staring at my phone

I only want love

I need something true

I want approval

I just need you

I'm so damn lonely

I'm by myself

I'm so damn scared

Of my mental health

A picture is worth a thousand words

A million tears

And all the alcohol

That can't replace the years

A moment frozen

In a vacuum of time

I try to forget it

With every rhyme

Beaten and abused

And full of pain

You smiling down at me

Is the picture in my brain

I'm bleeding on the floor

You're begging for more

Watching my beating heart

Somehow this is art

You clap at my pain

And wonder how I'm insane

Laying in bed

But I’m on a stage

Singing songs

That will never age

Suddenly all the pain is worth it

And there’s a remedy for my scars

I put my town on the map

And my name’s in the stars

You notice my sudden fame

You think my words are deep

Your beauty is everything

I forget that I’m just asleep
