Four Story Tantrum

The Velvet Teen


she lives in a four story tantrum 
for a long face 
the house that her parents hand-crafted for her 
a trashcan, a toilet is all that she sees inside 
outside a world that doesn't know her riddle 
she doesn't need much besides the clothes on her floor 
and solace in someone with softer remarks 
the courage to be by herself and be okay this time
she just doesn't want to remember at all 
so don't tell me i'm wrong or right 
consider yourself for once 
leave me alone to wrap myself up in my fantasies 
snap me in half, burn me alive 
i'll suffer it all for the consequences are nothing at all / just tell it starts all over now 
life's too hard sometimes 
you give it your all 
and all that you get is tired 
the more that you spend 
the more all your friends begin 
to see you erased 
chastised and chaste from them 
don't you fear, don't give up 
it's too late for now, but don't give up 
it's too late, but don't you fear, don't give up 
she lives in a four story tantrum 
for a long face 
and outside there's no one and nothing
