"Die before I live"
I sit alone with people around...
Drinking brewed water from the ground...
Laughing at jokes that are not funny,
drinking,hooting and spending money.
I know it`s not right,but here I sit!
Please,someone...
"Help me quit!"
The world owes me plenty,you understand...
Come over,please,and take my hand...
Now I am sober and it`s real great.
Drinking and fighting I do hate...
With open arms,I am ready to give.
I guess I had to
"Die before I live".

In our dreams
We see things
that seem so real,
Even sometimes,
we can feel...
We meet people
we`ve never met
Often times,
we forget...
Things don`t go
as we request,
We live with a bullet
in our chest.
We hold things
soft as a pillow,
kiss pretty things
under a weeping willow.
Lose our teeth,
a fairy comes...
Even sometimes
we`ve sucked our
thumbs...
It is not real
as it all seems,
when we awaken,it`s
In our dreams...
