The Crazies

About us, the young, the crazies, the reckless, the lovers

We're the reckless
We're the wild
The crazed, untamed, the not yet broken
Not completely anyway
Breathless, heaving
Through rotten insides
Setting fire to our chests
Where selfish and so oblivious dreams rest
Sharing hearts that pump
Pump and blossom in our stomachs
Chasing our better selves in one another
Collecting scars, pouring whiskey, we're mad
But we're not broken, not yet, not bland
So we bother
We're perfect, colours and resentment
Canvases, we are, overflowing
It's all the same, the pain, the games
Exchanging feelings, stealing, borrowing
We always know it's never forever, yet forever there will be flames
Corrupted and beautiful, breaking promises for fun
We're all lovers, we all belong to someone, sleeping with the other one
Waking up to none
Fruitless, vivid dreams of happy endings
Slaves to the freedom to love and lust all the wrong ones
Content in bitterness, self indulgence
We're the sum of all that we abandon when we go to bed
And all that we'd woken with, lived in, shared
Homeless hearts, virtuous and sleazy
Love now, forget in the morrow, easy, breezy
We're troubled, but that's okay
Because we'll put lipstick on and drink champagne
We're tired, exhausted, but we try
Sleep with fear, awake with courage
Our tears are mold, but we wipe them dry
We're brave, we'll get up and we'll walk that ledge
Presumptuous yet hopeless
Sick of the emptiness
We'll close our eyes and give in again
And then once more, we'll stumble through to the finish line
We're still bleeding, but we're lucky
Because over and over we can say 'you're mine and I'm thine'
At war with what we hate in ourselves and see in the other
We fight with no armor, just weapons
We love and hurt one another, aimless, senseless
But we'll drop the weapons for you won't change and we won't change
And we're all lonely, it's cold out there
War turns to love and hate grows strength in the midnight embrace
We're torn, angry, but we don't know it, and it's all a phase
So we'll whisper candyfloss to one another
Hysterical laughters and sex and touches
To make it beautiful, to make it sacred
Because hey, what else can we do?
Giving up and walls are an illusion, a delusion, self deceit
We jump, we dive, endlessly, because it chews us up, inspires us
We're immortal, undefeated, we're lost in one another
We're fighters, we're lovers, we're children, we're perfect, we're wrong,
We're restless and we're the world
We're each other's worlds
We're everything
We're nothing
We're just here.
Lifeless faces
Faceless loves
We're each other's drugs
We're the disease
We're apocalypse
We're magic.
