My friend was reading off his playlist and this is what became of it

47 8 2
                                        

Dial tones
Turn to concrete
Trapped in the suffocating dust
That buries me

In a city of evil
The afterlife sleeps
Frozen body bags
An American dream weeps

Saltwater rain
Fades to grey
As a girl steps out
On a busy highway

Flowers build up
Flowers for the dead
Traumatized laughter
Drowned by red

It drips from the walls
The ceiling bleeds
Society belongs to
The lies it feeds

How can I write
When words are long faded?
They've lost their quiet power
Meanings are jaded

On cemetery drive
Romeo and Juliet strive
To be once more alive
In a world that thrives

On the tragedy of dying young

Now everyone tries
To cross the divide
Of myth and martyr
Go a little farther

You'll find it, I swear
When life starts to share

The only difference between Martyrdom and Suicide is press coverage
