Black Bird?
Hello! How are you?
Nice Day after this Graduation
well with all those four years of aggravation and Determination
Let's say I made it
Reminiscing on my so called life
sneaking in my head hours through the night
Life's no fun without something to jump and make you feel alive
I'm never gonna fly and I'm never gonna reach that sky
was it the death and murder of my brother that brought me to
my knees before my final show
or my best friend blowing his steam and letting go
was it my attempt of erasing my existence and sick of looking in that mirror
you shattered freak and coward of nothing
where did you go before the show ended
you took a bow at the last crowd but for whom
hmm not me because I am not me if that make sense
I am not brave and I am not what you think I am but can I be
Did the yelling of his words of calling you a bitch and
aborting your name into the darkness
did the whips on your face and the touching of strangers make you feel less
safe
did the empty promises of yourself make you go why do you try to fly
blackbird
You're never gonna do It so shut your pretty mouth and pay those bills
go to college and get a degree
and be an adult and repeat after me I'm free
I'm happy and I'm free and my tainted eyes and loose smile can tell you
I'm happy with being normal and just sticking to what I know
let us all agree not to be creative ever again
because when we are the doubts come and in the long run your told to shhh
follow the red light and stop when its green
Black Bird what did I say about trying to thin for yourself
you are not you silly but someone else
ugh you're gay you're ill
here take a pill and forget you were ill
then take another and another
Blackbird did life not teach you to bow down
well hurry up and take the crown
