the musings of a wallflower

something good

"i'll die happy tonight."

something good

i've always heard you say

"let's do something good today."

your hypocrisy just kills me

like no poison ever could.

if you wanted to do good

would you be sitting on the grass

everyday, and smoking a cigarette?

would you be staying up all night

doing nothing at all?

i know what you'd be doing.

you'd be on the rooftops

screaming your name

the world wouldn't hear you now

but it'd know someday.

you'd be painting

this blue town red

and making your starry eyed dreams

come true at night.

you'd be sitting under the starless sky

laughing, squinting

and dreaming,

making your own constellations

to light up the nights.

you'd be dreaming

cinnamon dreams and infatuation

creating your own reality

In the dark of the night.

you don't do any good this way

so don't tell me to do something good today.

because darling, we both know the truth

it's in plain sight

the best thing you can do

is do something good tonight.
