Words Unspoken

The Record

Flip the record.

I want to hear you once again.

There's been a pause, and it's of the wrong accord.

There may be some scratches; there may be some pain,

But in the end nobody seems to get that it's all a game

Of catching the new, going out with the old.

That's the thing that we weren't told.

The pain never ends,

But black is the new fashion trend.

Everybody gets it, but nobody knows.

Lately it seems like everybody is just a blank ghost,

Copying you while you copy them,

So play that record once again.

Switch up the tunes,

But don't make them brand new.

Cue the blues.

Get out the tissues.

Cause this pain in my brain, it never ceases,

But maybe something can gloss over those cracked pieces.

It may never be perfect; the world's always a puzzle,

A part is always missing; be sure of it.

The world's just in trouble,

Looking for something new to latch onto,

Searching for something to dig its claws into.

Don't let those scratches stop you from going,

Don't let that screaming stop you from knowing

That you are loved, and you are cared for.

There have been a few closed doors,

But the lion always has a few more roars.

Don't be afraid of the monsters that haunt you.

One day you'll see that they only do this to taunt you.

They cannot touch your beautiful smile.

Don't let that fade, even for a while.

Just turn the record to play the next side.

Remember that life is just one long ride.

Sometimes the path's simple, sometimes it's clear,

But sometimes it's rocky and puts you in the wrong gear,

But you can remember, you are in control.

Don't let this consume you, even if it does take a toll.

Let out the tears,

But don't run from your fears.

You control you,

And that's all there is to do.

Close your eyes and listen to the music.

Something might've been broken, but now it's been fixed.

Listen to the record; watch as it turns,

One day, I pray that you'll learn

That you are perfect just the way that you are,

Even if you broke, or broke someone's heart,

You can put yourself back together; be like nobody else.

Because you are a star; you shine so brightly.

Always know that there's somebody to hold you so tightly.

You are loved.

You are cared for.

You are one of a kind.

Don't you ever let anybody change your mind.

Love yourself and be loved.

Don't let yourself get pushed or shoved.

Hold your head high, and never look down at the darkness of the ground.

Look at the stars, and you'll be found.

Because you are one.

So listen to the song on repeat if you must.

Just know that there really is somebody you can trust.

Spin the record; don't let it stop.

You will always come out on top

If you have faith in yourself, and never stop singing.

You need to be strong,

It may seem to be too long,

But there's a reason for everything.

And it might seem odd, but I promise what's right is the timing.

Just get lost in the melody and close your eyes.

This record will keep you safe and sound.

So watch as it spins around.

And lose yourself in it.

It's a perfect fit.

Just love yourself.

Every single bit.
