20 minutes to showtime

a face in perfect pain

his nerves are shot and his eyes closed tight

he leaves his problems for rainy days

no one should have to fight this hard

with struggles in the form of friends

to pick a poison is easier said

when a person will not pretend



he says

why won't they listen?

they're gunna' fall off the earth

and no one will notice but me

one more decision

before they fall off the earth

and no one will notice but me



he only speaks when he means it

with passion bigger than his words

he knows his road is less traveled

and many have fallen before

no one should have to have dreams like this

that darken on rainy days

to pick a poison is easier said

when a person won't walk away
