Stories you'll never hear

Folder: 
High School

walking downtown tonight

   all these empty eyes

     hungry, staring

Dull for all the flashing lights

   Looks like hell and neon heights

      wanting, blaring



and he says I should care about life, but



              why should I?

                I'm just a memory.

              why should I?

                I'm just a story youll never hear.



sitting alone, at home, and

  The TV's flashing its death and fire

Shes not saying a word, on the phone and

  my heart is getting kind of tired



outside my window,

  teenage lovers kiss

but what they dont know,

  love is more pain than bliss



and he says I should care about it, but



           why should I?

              I'm just a memory.        

           why should I?

              I'm just a story you'll never hear.



I know I can't give up, but I do,

               inside

Theres a tiny voice

      screaming, yelling

Its wrong to look at all of you,

               dead and alive

Theres a final choice,

      Im moving, selling



And he says that he cares, and that I should too

but I'm not going anywhere, cause



             why should I?

                I'm just a memory.

              why should I?

                I'm just a story youll never hear.



Its looking down

A desolate, cold hole

it's sounding out

Numbers dancing for my soul

Words that she cant pronounce

were desperate, alone

just trying to get by, and



             why should I?

                I'm just a memory.

              why should I?

                I'm just a story youll never hear...
