Tonight's sky is empty but full of the lights,
Lanterns of hope, or jackals of night, We watch and we awe through the scars in the clouds,
This world is just hurting with all we dispel.
Tiny but mighty we look up above, Waiting for something to give us some love.

"We deserve better!" We say to ourselves. Sitting in boxes,
watchings our cells,
Decay in the night, reflecting the stars, look at the beauty that will ever be far.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
