Priceless


Mary, you’re beautiful in light That broken table frames your face just right I can’t live another night still feeling the spit in my eyes Another fight another mess S.O.S signals of distress I hide in my pocket Because "no one else is supposed to know” “you only live once, enjoy your youth, Your little problems are only stops for life's tollbooth” I guess adults have forgotten the helpless Latched horribly onto childhood’s heels So just live, keep walking open up the house walls and disappear Surviving just one more year plane tickets are too expensive nowadays for a one way ticket to anywhere but home
