Captured In between

a poet and a painter
two beggars and a thief
a clerk, a chef, a lawyer
two sailors of the sea

of all the things we bring upon
no matter how they're seen
each person is a being
riding the life of in between


"we have paved these streets
in moments of defeat"
-Bastille "These Streets"

Push on dear girl

You're failing child
you're not doing it right
you're giving up little girl
it'll never see the light
 
try, try, try dear girl
push, push, push dear girl
these wall were made to fall
 
you shallow, broken dreamer
you know you're made to fail
you small, passive dreamer
no escaping the mind's own jail
 
think, think, think dear girl
run, run, run dear girl
ignore the failures call

I can see you shaking child
I can see you cry
I can find you hiding child
you know those wings can't fly

go, go, go dear girl
fight, fight, fight dear girl
they'd love to see you crack
 
we know you're backing down girl
we know you're about to slip
we know the battle's here girl
pray you'll hold your grip

try, try, try dear girl
push, push, push dear girl
you have no where to go back
