"In hope this little angel will be free from all of their poisons and in hope I grind my knees into the floor, praying that he'll never have to feel the pain I have felt...Walking through glass ignorant of the pain in my feet...His sweet little hands, innocent face so unaware of what lies in waiting. In hope there will be forever waiting for you...In hope you will never look back and hate these days that I held your hands. Falling away, changing each day to his own fate until I am needed no more for his comfort or his joy. In hope there's an answer...and in hope I cry. And I am beaten just the same by this subtle game as he breaks away. As he breaks away I turn my face to the sky for a way to decline these fairy tales that will turn into nightmares. This fate laid out in my hands unatoned I descend into my own decision. In hope I can turn this page..." In Hope by Boy Sets Fire
"They say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger but maybe some of us are too sick and tired of being so strong and I can't reach for a reason to look into your eyes like it doesn't matter at all...And I still remember what you did to me lying on your kitchen floor, I want to rip your hands off I want to rip your tongue out for every time I have cried every time you have lied...Pushed down laughing in my face...and I still remember that look in your eyes, Screaming at me like it doesn't matter at all and now eyes will always lie...I am here, Take this, I can't feel anyway...I can't hurt I can't bleed but I can kneel as you once did...The angels said they would save me...I can fly away from you...So why does the pavement look so close? Mama said that she would save me...Self respect should never have to bleed from my knees, Wait for something to happen, Wait to understand...I slip I grasp I always miss in cycles, Fallen angels never fully gain control...How many times have I noticed that our eyes hardly ever meet? I've seen quite enough of too many childish games, I'm ashamed of every moment that I ever gave them the time of day, all the worst of enemies are somehow always friends that used to be..." more of Boy Sets Fire
