WHEN THE PARTY'S OVER

the party's over;

i'll walk myself home,

silent on the stairs,

wake up the next morning,

i'll lie and say i don't care. 

 

the party's over;

you don't know what goes on

inside the twisted prison of my head,

you think i only hurt

when you're watching. 

 

the party's over;

call you but it goes to voicemail,

kick scattered cups all around,

there's only a few people left,

no one close—no friends.

 

the party's over;

nothing happened,

i'll go, saying my goodbyes

to the people who didn't show—

i'm on my own.

 

when the party's over

i won't call anyone,

i'll just sulk back home

and to places

i never really belonged.

  • i wanna be yours

    my breakfast cereal used to turn soggy in milk,

    and now the flavors blend like a rainbow,

    and every time i watch that show,

    i wonder what it would be like if i was in your arms,

    a black cat crossed the street

    as i was speeding down it,

    i came to a halt, 

    but it was already gone. 

    i guess that it's lucky:

    i didn't kill the cat,

    but as i stepped out to look where it stood,

  • Stargazing

    Is it so wrong for you to look at me?

    Is it so bad to smile my way?

    You act like I'm untouchable, a flea,

    But yet you kiss me whispers and my hair you play.
