Leave me reckless and annoyed
Circumstances, second chances
Lists of things I must avoid
So goodbye, so goodbye
It's time to close the curtains
So goodbye, so goodbye
On this bloodstained circus
Candy-coated, overloaded
Zombie-paranoid
All the things you wanted in me
Crippled and destroyed
So goodbye, so goodbye
The salty blood's gone sticky
So goodbye, so goodbye
I shouldn't be so picky

He looks like hes coming back from some stressful business meeting. Is that possible? Its late at night and all the regular offices closed hours ago. But hes got a heavy-looking briefcase overflowing with dog-eared papers. And hes wearing that severe black suit that looks very sharp but doesnt really seem fitting next to his childlike face.
His hair is cropped short. The cuts looks fresh and un

For You, My AngelsYou're a green mushroom.For You, My Angels6 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
You're a hundred rings.
You're a medipack
Filled with healing things.
You're a thunderstorm
On a humid day.
Drown the anger out.
Wash the hate away.
And when I am hurt,
Crying too hard to see,
I'm still not lost because
I know you're watching over me.
You are my angels,
Special from the rest.
My last string of sanity
Is something that can attest.
So all I want now
Is this interlude,
A chance for me to
Express my gratitude.

Sonic the Hedgehog X-mas SongSonic the Hedgehog (to the tune of "Frosty the Snowman")Sonic the Hedgehog X-mas Song7 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
Sonic the Hedgehog
Had his fur in spikes of blue
And two pointed ears and two buggy eyes
And triangular red shoes.
Sonic the Hedgehog,
He could run so very fast.
He was 32 bits
On the Genesis.
What an icon of the past!
There must have been some magic
In those power rings he'd hold,
For when he got 50 and jumped
He changed from blue to gold.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Could transform to super mode.
He could pounce a lot
On Robotnik's bots
And then they would explode!
Doctor Robotnik
Found a floating island cave
So he took his ship,
On a power trip,
Stole the Chaos Em's awa

Grab my headband and I'm looking like one sweet senorita
Before I leave, brush my teeth, with a cup of tea
Cuz when I leave for the day, I'm coming back by three.

Covered in lace and bows, bows
Collar looks like a rose, rose
Trying out another sweet pose, pose
Pour another cup of tea, tea
Pretty to the highest degree, gree
Trying to look a little bit cla-ss-yyyy...

Looking cute
Got a parasol to boot

Til they take my dolls away
I love
These white gloves
But when push comes to shove -

Wicked QueenIn a castle made of stone,Wicked Queen3 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
And vanquished foes' drained blood and bones:
A throne made out of claws of bears.
One day, that will be my chair.
All Hail the Wicked Queen,
A dash of glamour and a pinch of mean.
I want to be her someday,
To reign in Hell and always get my way.
Once her evil spell's begun,
There's nowhere to hide, nowhere to run.
She'll be defeated in the end, I know,
But, baby, what a way to go.
All Hail the Wicked Queen,
A dash of glamour and a pinch of mean.
I want to be her someday,
To reign in Hell and always get my way.

The Spider and The MoonOnce upon a far-off timeThe Spider and The Moon7 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
In a kingdom far away
A young prince stared at the sky by night,
And dreamed of the moon by day.
Enchanted by the moon's soft glow,
Spellbound by lunar light,
He never noticed the tiny spider
Who adored him every night.
The spider sought the prince out
And watched him from above,
In the dark and shady corners,
Oh so terribly in love.
"But I am just a spider,"
She thought with misery.
"Whatever would a royal prince
Want with a beast like me?
If only I could give him
What he truly desires."
And the spider glimpsed him view the moon,
And was suddenly inspired.

The spider waited patiently

The Nature of CreativityEpiphany! I finally understand the nature of creativity!The Nature of Creativity4 years ago in Academic Essays More Like This
First, let me begin with another question I have been struggling with. It's related, I promise. The question is:
Why is it important to be happy?
Every emotion is more or less of the same value, right? It's either good or it's bad, deviating from our usual disposition in whichever direction it may. It's happy, or sad, or angry, or whatever...Why does it matter if an experience is positive or negative? Beyond the experience of the individual, does one's happiness actually affect the world at large?
I'll venture that it really does make a difference, not just to one person and t

Cursed GenerationFailure to launchCursed Generation4 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
There's no continuation
Such is the plight of my cursed generation
I see nothing ahead
And have nothing behind
Just a question and a riddle with no answer to find
There's an itch in my mind
Like the ghost of a dream
And all is forgotten the moment it's seen
I can't trust my brain
And I can't trust my eyes
There's nothing to breathe here except for their lies
A sense of entitlement
The accusation
Such is the plight of my cursed generation
Grow up, earn your pennies
A living to eke out
But it's been a year and I'm starting to freak out
There's nothing in here
And there's nothing out there

She's beautiful and funny, and not at all vain
The power within her burns like a fire so bright
That it will help guide those lost in the darkest of night
She's fun loving and kind, lovable as well
She's the type that would help you, even before you fell
To me, she's a saint, or and angel above
And she is a wonderful person, who is so easy to love
"The Beautiful Day-Dreamer" to her I shall call
And when I get to meet her, we shall have a ball
I'm honored beyond words for her to call me "friend"
And I hope our friendship shall never end

I know,
I know people who've tried.
They are good, they are pure, they are righteous.
Someday, though,
Someday they'll still die.
I once tried to be a good person.
So sweet,
Holding everyone dear,
But the truth is most folks are annoying,
And I sound,
Oh, I sound insincere.
So why should I go through life lying?
Don't I owe,
Don't I owe honesty
To this world and the sick people in it?
At the least,
Don't I owe it to me?
Now you may think that this sounds quite selfish.
And it is,
Indeed, make no mistake.
And I'll go through life without affection
But at least,
Oh, at least I'm not
