Bas

Stop, make it stop

All the sounds, all the noise

My ears hurt, I can't think

Is a little quiet so much to ask for?

I need it to stop

My head is starting to hurt

Stop the noise, stop the sounds

I guess I'll have to stop it myself

End all the noise, all the sounds

You think I'm crazy

But it all makes perfect sense to me

Laying in the snow, singing to the air

What's the harm in that?

Secretly you wish you could do it, too

Oh well

I'll sing when I want, lay where I want

You think I'm crazy

But it all makes perfect sense to me

Traumatic, Brutal, Haunting

Are these words how I want to think of my life?

No

Enlightening, Dissuasive, even Worth it

I can't sit and wail about the past

Only remember to refrain from repetition

Maybe even help another

No sense in spreading the pain

4

Please take me off of your pedestal

I'm not as great as you seem to think

Remember, I'm human too

We all hurt, we all heal

You should be the one on the plinth

You got me up there, and held me too

Who deserves it more?

The one who never stopped trying

Or the one who was pushed kicking and screaming?
