You Wish

You wish I'd give in

You wish I'd give up.

You'd wish I'd stop fighting

For me and for us.

You wish I'd stop arguing

Stop pointing fingers

You wish I'd quit blaming

But my fire, it lingers.

Everlasting blaze

Inferno so wild

Welcome to my heart

Where nothing is mild.

Crazy reactions

Blown up like a storm

Reactivity and festivity

And happiness and scorn.

You wish I'd leave you alone

You wish I'd go away.

But how can you say

The things that you say?

I'll never stop fighting

I'll never give up.

You'll never win

You'll keep screwing up.

You wish you hadn't hurt me

Because of what I've done.

You wish you could scare me

Just for fun.

You wish me no pleasantries

You wish me no opportunities.

You wish I weren't so good at this

You wish, you wish, you wish.

  • Story Mountain

    I guess I've been thinking

    The story mountain we made

    And the characters didn't even get their lives told

    Because ours crashed and burned before we could handle it

  • I Won't

    Nope

    I'm not going back to school.

    I'm going to ignore the back-to-school ads

    And shopping trips

    The packing

    The new outfits

    The brand-new pencils

    I won't do it

  • Glimpses

    Noise

    Warming up

    Keys

    Fingerings

    Chatter

    Laughter

    The chorale

    Stopping

    Starting

    "Again"

    "I know you can do better than that"

    Serious but

    You also love it
