the 4th of depression

Lend me your eyes so I can see
Billions of people but none for me
Random thoughts explode into fireworks
Cascading downward explains the hurt

As the embers fall I close my eyes
Twinkling downward waiting til they die
My head falls back from carrying pain
Then another shell suddenly explodes
The crowd cheers loudly would someone explain

They cheer for death as they hit the ground
Never took time to stop and look around
A bright soul twinkles down to its death
Never given the chance to love on its last breathe

Like a shell shot high deep into the night
Let my love explode I'm filled with brilliant light
I may look dark and gloomy on my outter side
But what counts most is the glow from inside

Cherish me now I'm almost out of time
Capture my light and we'll both combine
Like a cinder that fades on its journey to the ground
I want my journey with you instead of feeling down

My shell may be hard to break
I promise to make it worth your wait
Take me away from this screaming crowd
Take me with you to your highest cloud

We'll arrive I'll shine my light on you
My potential is there bet you never knew
Just take me away and ignite my fuse
The next explosion will be just for you

Burn with me babe as we fall from the sky
I'll never ask you to question why
We'll fall together through the thin night air
When we land we both wont care
The crowd will be there and they will cheer!
