the night before the birthday

if I can speak with candid speech
for just a moment
I'll paint this canvas well and neat
for your enjoyment

The resound of the Holiday's Sirens
whistle and screech
Throughout the night sky,
I lay in a halfway decent slumber - i cant sleep

I'm tossing and turning
I'm hostel, perturbed and
I'm gripping the sheets
While I'm gritting' my teeth

They yell and they sing
Of the tales of old king's?
but they don't know the story
of the Liberty Bell's Ring

They're loud and obnoxious
And take most of their profit
To build a so called 'salutation'
To the United States declaration

Void of understanding
Modern day Benedict Arnold's
A voice in need of reprimanding
A condition severely carnal

Rum and Coke fill the air
And a child is in despair
Crawling from the window pane
But not promised to come back sane

The same souls that make this party
Will make tomorrows
With the same intentions and same goals
So I departed

So now the promise of the 13th year is this
Your a teen
But your family's obscene
Gestures, make you wanna flee

To another time period
Or some other-time-PERIOD!
'Cause it's gonna get worse
So in the pillow your head is cursed

But this happens every year
Every summer
Every time
Every birthday is taken
And every time it's mine

Knowing they'll be slurred in speech
While singing and cutting cake
Never remembering to get me presents
Cause most the money was spent yesterday.

Fighting the vexed taste in my mouth
Knowing my birthday is hours away
Every year brings a new reason
Why I wish it was another day
