It's not to late
It's just a party underground
The ground is turning to fire
This is how it'll be the rest of tonight
Start a riot to keep you off my mind
Let the questions turn into lies
Keep my heart at rest, tell me good night
Lets keep this party alive

Let the rain keep the fire from reaching in
Get the music so this can really begin
My sleep keeps me from feeling pain
Keep my silence waiting for a ride
My mind keeps repeating its point of view
Let my heart keep me from breaking my self-control

My heart is ready to chose
Waiting for the perfect time
The party was a tool to hide from you
Let my mind remain on being bad
This was a great time to get it all out
The music is so loud
I can barely hear you now
This place makes it feel like its too late
Was there anything at all?

Let the morning bring a new calling
Lets catch up or not at all?
I get this feeling we are in the past
Call me a tired peasant
Cause its all im used to

Every night this party rages in my mind
The gag of another keeps my soul from being kind
My heart has been erased and its all i'm giving you

This is awesome. You showed self control in the words you penned here.

this is a very perceptively deep write...each time I read it, the ending seems to speak to me in a different voice...well done
