the melodies of the suffocated

45 3 0
                                    

smoking behind construction sites
drinking in the living room
making out with our best friends
sleeping away our impending doom

our parents don't know
our siblings don't care
our schools don't understand
we're washed out of their hair

smoking to die
dying to live
drinking to forget
forgetting to give

we live the way we like
we die whenever we want
we say just what we think
we think in typewriter font
