All of my once waning desires
Now fearlessly scream
In this new and brave era,
As one dignified voice
Swiftly they have scaled
Into the caverns of my mind
To seize the cold reigns,
And jet for new skies
We have left the old roads in the dust
To circle
Mindlessly in silence
We have left the old roads
For a thundering tomorrow
Starved for every morsel sent our way

A Habit Before Monique Came Along
“Letterbomb” song and lyrics by Green Day and American Idiot Original Broadway Musical’s Cast
[WHATSERNAME]
Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly stacks up ten high
The dummy failed the crash test
Collecting unemployment checks
A flunky only along for the ride
Where have all the riots gone
As the city's motto gets pulverized?
What's in love that's now in debt?
On your birth certificate
So strike the f**ing match to light this fuse!
The town's bishop an extortionist
And he don't even know that you exist
Standing still when it's do or die
You better run for your f**ing life!

It's not over till you're under
I walk through alleys, Walk through streets, Watch the people passing me - I wonder how it used to be When this was all there was to see. I run through alleys, Run through streets, Singing for myself and me - I'm singing of a tiny tree, Of sunlight and the silent sea. I dance through alles, Dance through streets, Sing to bugs and butterflies - Judge me, I'm so sick of lies And singing makes me feel alive. I leave these alleys, Leave these streets, A distant sound, a melody, A ray of light, a tiny tree, A flower in a sea of green. I sit under a tiny tree, My eyes are closed and I am free, A soothing breeze upon my skin, I'm comfortable as I breathe in, A flower in a sea of green.
These days I resemble
The vault of the sun
Obscured, in silver skies
Mirroring, the death of its arc
In the same faint shades of red
That spill into black
I lunge for the heavens
Again and again
All to burn off the veil
Of stagnating sorrow
Forevermore,
Seeking,
A breach,
In all the worry
Cast me out, place me upon the water, let me float until I'm home. I can see the sun is rising, but it's too late for me to fight. My head is swarming, heart is broken- I won't be much for the light. Cast me away, place my soul in calm water, let me sink back to my people, where I can steel my heavy heart. The worms inside my head have died, their corpses form my thoughts. they have rotten down to nothing, my body's twitching afterthoughts. Black sludge clog my brain, In their place the flies are bursting, soot and ash will dust my chain. Cast me down, Watch in abject horror, spectate, and levitate, above the waters crystal prism, my soul renewed; enchant- a summer song, a dancing dreamer, thought's lost but not forgot. The bugs infest my head. I've seen the summer sun, I've fought and I have won, cannot let the waters take me I can't let this war be won. The crystal ship sails over to me, the sands of time will fall. and though the bugs will stay within me, I will heed the
