Earthquakes

The door is cracked I walk in to see you. You're with her
can this be true?
Like a wave in the ocean, I’m turning blue raindrops on the ocean my hearts frozen through
Chorus:
an earthquake shakes our sturdy ground
our boat rocks during a storm from the clouds
but they can’t knock us over in the day or the night it helps to know that things are gonna be alright
A warm day in the park
I see you sitting next to him suddenly it's cold
the sunlight seems to dim
Like a wave in the ocean, I’m turning blue Raindrops in the ocean my hearts frozen through
(Chorus)
I've learned it's hard to trust
sometimes what you have just isn't enough and I’ve learned its hard to breathe
when it feels you’ve been buried 6 feet deep
(Chorus)

Different like Me

Oh, all the pretty faces looking at me.
Thinking of, how they gonna be,
And, what they’re gonna say, like (oh)
And I’m not standing/ In anyone else’s shadow,
Being me, being free,
In a world where people stare, as if I’m different.
She’ll never be, she’ll never know,
Never know, how to not follow
She’ll never know, she’ll never be
Different…
Like me.
Start fresh, start new.
I just wanna be me, just wanna be free,
Ain’t no-body in the world can (stop me) x2
No!
Start fresh, start new.
I just wanna be me, just wanna be free,
Ain’t no-body in the world can (stop me)x2
No!
(Ba, ba, ba, da, ba, ba)
But, that’s what people say,
Cause I am someone different
You can never tell me who to be,
Cause I am me
(Ba, ba, ba, da, ba, ba)

When In Vegas

Look at all the hot blonde girls
Screaming they’re your biggest fans in the world
Pool party, Vegas-style, bands play, getting wild.
It’s a crazy, Vegas rockin’ party world.
Firecrackers in the sky, shootin’ like the 4th of July
Playing guitars like Superman,
Showing off like Peter Pan
Putting on a Rock n’ Roll show
Rock! Party! Girls!
Yah! Yah! Yah!
Vegas! Money! Guitars! Bikinis!
Yah! Yah! Yay! Yah!
Look at all the fans. They’re going wild.
Crowd surfing’ and mashin’ like a child
Pool party, Vegas-style, bands playin’, getting wild
It’s a crazy, Vegas rockin’ party world.
Spotlights are shinin’ up into space
Oh, what a beautiful human race
In the swirl of the crowd, all time is erased
And a wonderful look upon your face
End of show confetti flying
The lights and sounds are multiplying
Playing guitars like Superman,
Showing off like Peter Pan
Putting on a Rock n’ Roll show

My name is Eli and its true I’m not even thirteen But I’ve been put through hell its worse than you could ever dream every day is such a struggle and this shit is clear I think you would all be better off if I just disappeared my hands are shaking as I scribble on this page I never thought I’d be here but I’m on my way And as I’m writing every word I guess I’m set alight
But this will be the final letter that I ever write Its hard to breath and my life is just a living hell I’ve got my demons and were trapped inside a prison cell I’ve been beaten and I’m feeling that my breath is weak Cause when I rest my head at night I cry myself to sleep If this is love then we better break up Inside a nightmare and I’ve never wake up Because with life it always seems to leave me stuck in a miserable Its pitiful I wish that I was fucking invisible I wish that I could do something to take my pain right away and shit I ain’t even religious but I try to pray and by reading this you might say I’m insane but I just thought Id tell you I’m insane but I just thought Id tell you what you failed to see and say goodbye
I know there’s a lot of people out there who related to that first verse so if your one of them listen up
I’m here to talk about what hits a little close to home I’m here to speak on how its hard to live on hope alone I know its hard and I know you feel on your own but when you feel the urge to cut get this track up on your iPhone that’s right I said it that’s cause no one wants to talk about it you try to ignore it every day like its not all around us but every second kids you look at probably cuts themselves and has had to think this shit on and we don’t fucking help them its really saddening to hear when you think of it how people always live in fear and that they’re sick of it how some words said by their peers can make them slit their wrist but life can have its existence if you can struggle if you struggle through the thick of it I’ve had some demons in my past that I had to face I know the pain of always feeling like you’re out of place you need to know that even though you feel like you’re about to break you need to find strength before you leave as an without a trace except for memories the smile that never braced your face how the only friend that helped you was your razor blade I know the pain I felt the urge to sleep and never wake hoping when you do you’ll be embraced by friends at heavens gate I know the pain you feel when something really wrong is said but when you feel there’s nothing left just play this song instead cause I’ll be true and even though it’s only some of you I promise if you need me I’ll be here for everyone of you your heart is hurt but you don’t talk about the pain inside but truth be told when you cut I feel the same in mine you need to know no matter what there’s people waiting by there’s people trying to help so never force them all to pay the price and if there’s not a guarantee then I’ll be the one regardless I’ll be the one to pull you up I guarantee it can be better than I make it sound if not for you for those who care put the razor down
Stop suicide no one should ever be pushed to the point that they don’t want to be here anymore and that I wrote this track stop bullying stop suicide that’s the message
In the next 24 hours 1,429 teens will attempt suicide be the change save a life
