Stuck inside this house known as hell
With our parents yell
We smoke our cigarettes
Praying for then end of this
Knowing all we can do is sit and wait
And light up again and again and again
The slowest form of suicide
Is living like this
The life we have
Are the nightmares some kids
Couldn’t even imagine
Praying for darkness to close in
Is our favourite pastime here
We blast our "angst-y teen shit" in our ears
We mosh at every basement show we see
And we drink until we can't walk
And smoke until we can't breathe
As we lay our heads down at night
We tell our selves that things will be better
Tomorrow morning, in a couple hours...maybe
Only to wake up to this life
To see this house known as hell
To keep living this slow form of suicide
We roll with the punches
And buy a few lighters along the way
And we tell ourselves that this isn't real
Or that we won't live much longer
But the fucking truth is, we've learned to deal
We get into fights at school
And drink until we can’t see straight
When our parents yell
Damnit we return the favour
And we know to cherish every second of happiness
That we will ever get
Because living in a hell like this
Fighting this slow form of suicide
Isn’t easy, if you don't love the small things
And ignore this nightmare that we were raised into

Noooo idea what this is. Randy and I were sooo fucking around when we wrote this, poetry and I are worst enemies, as you could probably tell, hahaha.
