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
