I want you to know.
the things ive never dared
 
 to ever share before
 
 are tucked neatly in order
 
 right behind this locked door
 
 and id be glad to show you
 
 and get these skeletons out
 
 i really need some space these days
 
 cause its hard to ignore the shouting
 
 and pouting and doubting of this life
 
 but the key is tied secure around my neck
 
 and everytime i awake i go to check
 
 if its still there along with all my secrets
 
 but im sick of this burden
 
 im sick of this fear taking me over
 
 i wanna be done and grab a four leaf clover
 
 to fix all this bad luck thats on my plate
 
 what kids is meant to devour this s***
 
 in the state, to clean the slate that
 
 he dirtied on his own
 
 he’ll take in as much as he can
 
 and stay up late to grab the phone
 
 make one call, to speak to the one he loves
 
 before he tumbles down into the downfall
 
 that we all indure
 
 some when were old and broke
 
 some when were young and stoked
 
 but in order to fall into place
 
 and let this puzzle align into the face
 
 were supposed to mold out to be
 
 we must find that one person
 
 and ask them to snatch the key
 
 from the string around our throats
 
 have them venture into the wilderness without our coats
 
 out onto our own to become
 
 what nature intended to see from
 
 the heights of the heavens
 
 and depths of the hells
 
 and somethings in his head ringing bells
 
 so loud and clear but its all a blur
 
 where do we go from here?
 
 the voices tell him the path they cleared out
 
 but he squints his eyes and shakes his head
 
 drops the key and decides to leave
 
 into the bushes where no path lays
 
 he decides on his own to betray
 
 all that they ever said
 
 and to live his life instead.
