Verse I:
Whatever I feel
Whatever I take
Whatever I see
Whatever you fake
All that I love
All that you hate
Just whatever's there
I've taken the bait.
Chorus:
Breathe for all I care for
Breathe deep and all you know
Will be there soon and therefore
Will all be not for show
Verse II:
All is like ash
Or light shining through it
Looking through my telescope
Is that it? Could it?
Overcast right now
I'm caged in tight
I just want to live
But clouds are so bright.
Chorus
Verse III:
I don't want to remember
These beautiful, beautiful stars
Not in the sky, but of life
Don't remind me of their scars.
It's like I'm in California
And everyone's rushing for me
But no one really wants this
A flirt's all they see
Bridge:
Cause I'm pasty white
And quite contrite
Almost ghost like
And out of sight
And if we're right
It's time to fight
And we just might
It's for my plight
Verse IV:
Where'd all the good cowboys go?
They're going for Sheffield Steel
You better go out and get it
But to you it don't appeal
Colly's got the jimmy leg
It's giving him Hell tonight
The other's squeal so loud
Don't do it like that, just bite.
Chorus
Whatever I feel
Whatever I take
Whatever I see
Whatever you fake
All that I love
All that you hate
Just whatever's there
I've taken the bait.
Chorus:
Breathe for all I care for
Breathe deep and all you know
Will be there soon and therefore
Will all be not for show
Verse II:
All is like ash
Or light shining through it
Looking through my telescope
Is that it? Could it?
Overcast right now
I'm caged in tight
I just want to live
But clouds are so bright.

My friend told me to write whatever I felt, good, bad, shallow, deep. Anything can be something. That's what helped with the first verse. The rest sort of flows and lost of the verses seem odd and don't make sense, but they're all highly symbolic. There's even a tribute to The Sound of Animals Fighting in the there some where ;). Hope you enjoy it.
I wrote it all by myself, but my friend Katie helped inspire it.
