Speak

Today felt the same as yesterday  
Nothing changed 
But there was a silence 
That echoed in the voices 
I heard 

Today felt as if nothing changed 
I got up brushed my teeth 
Made my bed 
But I didn't think of the change 
That happened last night 

But how does the world keep spinning
How does the future become the past 
When I'm not sure of my own future 
How is nobody else in my life showing emotion 
Why are we all silent 
When this is when we need to speak most

  • Bitter Regrets

    I've had the same dream 
    Again and again 
    Night after night 
    And I spend day after day 
    Thinking about what it means 

    I'm standing in front of that building 

  • Nothing remains

    Nothing lives here anymore
    Nothing remains 
    We all grew up 
    And went our own ways 
    And nothing is left to prove we 
    Ever were there 

    Your bike was given to your little brother 

  • I hope

    I hope every time 
    You see the stars at night
    Painted on that black Texas sky 
    You think of me 

    I hope you think of me 
    When you see the mountains 
    And how they're framed by the sky
