A Poem Consisting Entirely of Indie/Rock lyrics #2

It's a good old fashioned landslide

To “Walden” it with you

Yellowing classics And canons at dawn

And watched her trip on my heart of stone

You’ve been looking for someone to believe in

Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring

His fiery arrows drew their beat in vain

Started feelin’ like I’m livin’ in the upside-down

I do, think you fit this shoe

On my knees I think clearer

Faded memories of a young teen

Now my feet won’t touch the ground

Like a heartbeat drives you mad

I pulled that bothersome thread

I’m too alone to be proud

It must have been her fault his heart gave out
