Explode
November 9, 2011
You don't have to feel like a piece of trash
Never given a care, or even half a glance
Have you ever been the last tool in the shed
Hanging from the wall on a thin strand of tread
Do you ever feel your poison's picked for you
Never given a choice...only a "how to"
It's time to stand your ground
You are a person, too
It's not for anyone
Except and only you
That's why you need to live to shine
Emit your hidden light
Like the red ball in the sky
Like a light bulb ready to die

Is it weird that I think that this would be wonderful if it was sung country-style? I don't know, but I absoutely ADORE the lyrics, and this one really caught my attention. Keep writing :)
