Poppies

Poppies are beautiful
They become venom in my veins
See as I see me fly
Trying to catch sunlight through the rain
fishing on an empty ocean
dreams escape my reality
I drop my net in hopes to find
The joy that comes from peace of mind
Somehow the shadows on the ceiling
Give me the opposite feeling.

Tina is a doll to have around
But she's a bitch when she leaves town
Push the gas, goes so fast
Gotta drive to stay alive
Sunshine through the skyline
I still miss Tina all the time
But we grew apartI have changed
She stayed the same
Let others give their hearts and feel the shame.

Up all night, snow so white
I can see me in the mirror, mirror.
Stayed awake for wakeful's sake
Eyes with dark circles on, squintin at the break of dawn.
And so this goes on and on
Months and years are wasted
Reality is, half a decade won't let me face it.
Take away my Snow White
And I won't even have a life.
