While we all hope that life will plateau its not always like that, you see its kinda like a fat kid standing in the middle of greggs when there is only one fudge donut left. Its not always gonna be easy, in the end were all fighting for the last fudge donut (ok I don’t know where that fucking analogy came from!) Its gonna be hard, gonna be tough and its always a fight, but you see we fight the good fight. I have dreams of dancing in the rain, always in line with no one left behind. Well you know what if you can’t be I will be defiant for you, I wont forget how much we pay but despite it all, we’re still doing alright and with friends by out side. We fight the good fight. One day all of this pain and all of this strife will mean nothing to us. This is simply a price your paying for the big things were going to do soon. We got second chances and we’re making the most of it. You know I dream for the days we were kids, want to wash our eyes out, mean everything I have ever said and never be scared but I refused to be ashamed of how ever many doomed attempts it takes to get over this. When I fell apart you were there, without even realising it. You know I’m always going to be here for you.
Friendship is random talking at four am and hugs in the night, its being there when someone needs you, wanting to be there when they need you. You know I would sing it out if I could sing at all that you are not alone, so what sometimes we feel like we never had a hope in hell, fuck it that’s the damage at a dream does. You are not the only one, we are lost but we will be found. There are one hundred thousand tiny lights for all of us who feels the same. Trust me I know what it feels like to be stuck behind deadbolts and steal plates, and you couldn’t leave if you tried. You know it is worthless to deny that you are scared, but all the fences and the walls you build will one day fall. I am in love with the thought that one day we will do better than they tell us. Sometimes were lonely, fell forgotten but your heat is never wrong. I’d send you silver birds if I could to prove I’ll keep these promises I make.
I know you think you have bonfires in your head and criminals in your veins, that the trains off the rails and the devils in the details, that no one notices. But I do.
You know the stars about are starting to spin out a little hope in the night sky, something good is starting to happen at last, let them throw your stones and spit their words. I know you believe in hope and you believe in love and you believe in something more than this, even if you are, I’m not afraid to say it. you can call me dumb and call me on it, I have never claimed to know it all but I know this much; we’re stronger than they know. I believe in everything you do.
Somewhere in the institutions and halfway homes people are on the mend again, there is hope to carry on again, it makes me feel that something is right, no more dirty tricks just more standing out and shouting out. All the money in the world wont save them, we’re coming home. All the prisons that they build wont hold us. Fuck dirty hearts, well fix them up and send them to happy homes, it doesn’t take much to raise a smile, to push the extra mile, I’ll stand with you when things go wrong and say “its not too long until we break though.” Keep your friends close, your enemies wont matter in the end.
