Frogs

What does friend mean to you?

A word so wrongfully abused

Are you like me, confused?

All included, but you

Alone

The sounds of silence often soothe

Shapes and colors shift with mood

Pupils widen, change their hue

Rapid brown, avoid clear blue

Why's it have to be this way?

Be this way

Be this way

Be this way

Be this way

Be this way

Flowers watched through wide eyes bloom

A child sings an unclaimed tune

Innocence spins cold cocoon

Grow to see the pain too soon

Why's it have to be this way?

Be this way

Be this way

Be this way

Be this way

Be this way

At 7 a.m. on a Tuesday, usual August

Next week, I'll be 28

I'm still young, it'll be me

Off the wall, I scrape you

I can't wake, I gotta wake

To cause this wake, I gotta wake no more

It causes wake, to drown this hate

To never really stay, never will

You take your plate

Put me through heaven, and direct your fate

You say I can do it so well

Your expiration date

Your expiration date

Fate, date, expiration

Date

This was the last time, hate

And don't fuck with me again

My own clean slate

Don't fuck with me again

Makes your eyes dilate

Makes you shake, irate
