Artist: Calm Album: Anti-Smiles Song: Treat Me Like a Villain Typed by: Timespitkicker@aol.com Calm, stay calm, just stay calm People play every show like it's their first I play it like it's my last Cobain told me to stick with music, he said it was a blast Don't come up to talking without your mouth moving, I'll know it's merely a mask Cause everyone's fake, I feel like I'm walking through a wax museum It's funny how everyone has idols but they'll never be them (be your own) Every day's a circular step closer to the climax of your dreams Goals are affirmations and people are discouraging (so discouraging) Fear is doing something you're not suppose to Success is letting yourself float with the current staying with the people you're close to Friends are time bombs, green with envy and red on the inside like a watermelon Everyone I grew up with patronizes me like a superhero then treats me like a villain But only vampires wear capes, only pharaohs are fed grapes And only liars believe the truth All the Lois Lanes I tried to save died so now god locked all the phone booths I tried to run from my problems but my head was with me the whole time So I'm looking for a guillotine that doesn't have a 2 hour line When I punch in I'm a part-time monkey washing floors and taking orders like a robot When I punch out I'm a parking ticket collector who brags about all the doe he's got All the nothing I got I'm not a super hero by any means I'm an average Samaritan with doubts who likes to sing (AwareNess: So I told him, you know I'm just another american caught in between inspiration and depression) I'm just another American caught in between inspiration and depression in front of a canvas with no brush trying to paint his dream but all I do is bitch about how I can't find my niche while standing in a treeless forest holding a battle axe hate is a virus and it destroys habitats gossip is contagious, here's some shut the fuck up pills, have a pack I'm just trying to do what makes me happy, hoping to unravel some paths Giving opinions the 32 degree shoulder, mutilating manikins murdering certainty And stabbing the facts, with AwareNess' knife Keep running, the last guy that turned around found a javelin in his mask I found anti-smiles on my mask Now they say Beauties on the inside but most humans are hollow Tears on my blue face Fear in my suit case Give me a kiss, Chris I'll be gone by tomorrow I'm disgraced from face to shoelace, my shadow won't even follow And I know, that things will get better someway somehow and I smile Cause I can see you clearly now If love is blind then hate has 20/20 vision So let's give all the homeless glasses and all the teachers contacts (AwareNess: Sometimes I'm scared so I ditch all my classes watching time fade) So they can see their paychecks and every student in their overfilled classes There's a smile under these lips and mind behind these bloody nostrils Every day's a waking dream making the past a nightmare of fossils No man is an island but I'm a peninsula surrounded by grief Cry me an ocean or cry me a creek, drown me in your river Cry me a planet then cry for relief I've seen people smile so much their cheeks ache Sometimes I stare long enough to watch until it decays People are crops and humans are locust so.. Love is hopeless Nothing is hopeless except smiles blood and ...... Goals are the blueprints towards your dreams But I ran out of bricks now passion is my cement Every architect is my role model I was happy being the captain 'til I found out we were trapped inside this bottle (smile and choke on yourself)
