Hope for a Better World

The wind runs through my hair
in the island breeze
No, I'm not really there but if I could be
I'd go slow
I know that you'll take me to the sun
when I perish so violently from a gun
in a stranger's hold
I'm told to lay low
What do you mean I'm scared to go out at nite?
What do you think will happen if you don't come back alive?
I know that I'm old
I'm lost in my ways and
trapped in my days of hope
for a better world that won't.

FUCK. TECHNICAL. PROFICIENCY.
well what should i sing about today?
everything's been sung about before already
maybe i can sing about the time i heard eminem's lose yourself
he was rapping about his mom's old spaghetti
maybe i can talk about just how much i hate this world
oh no that's been done before already
maybe i can talk about the time i tried to kill myself and how
the scar on my arm's a sign that i'm not ready
oh
to go
so no
i won't
maybe i can reminisce about all my ex's and how we used to kiss
under the stairs in high school
maybe i can talk about the things i'm not ready to talk about
then put em in a song and make it sound so cool
or we can talk about the things we want to change in the wolrd
cos its the only way we can change the world these days
or we can talk about the things we hate about ourselves
and then realize that we are all just the same
oh
i know
its so
impossible

The party went a little longer
but now my love for you is stronger
What happened in the dead of night
was something just for you and I
Sneaking to liquor stores for soda
Like what's the deal man, what's the hold up?
You know I know a bunch of cholas,
the ones I'm not even supposed to.
The world we know is gonna end
Still, no one really gives a shit
You all knew this would happen...
well, Mary, Joseph, Jesus-- what the hell?

The cannonball

6 yrs of being high
and life, it never moved so slow
Do you think I'm getting by with a miracle?
I'll tell you that I am
and my insecurity is that
I don't know what the hell
I'm gonna do with myself
But I'm getting pretty tied
up being lonely in my mind
That's why you help me at a dime
and it's like a crime, baby
And all of the things you're saving me from
are all of the things I keep running from
Will I keep on running?
Will it be you that gets me to stay?
Say you're the finest one of all?
Or do you get me to stay cos you
let me be the cannonball?
Cos lord knows I ain't changed my ways
and lord knows you're still codependent
Just like me
I get so mad and then you get so angry
cos I always turn into a cannonball
Then I'm so sad, then you have to hold me
cos I always turn into a cannonball
I always turn into a cannonball.
