“The Boy Who Isn’t Really All That Special”

Danny walks down the hallway, into the living room
Everyone is fast asleep, but Danny is filled with doom and gloom
He may not ever realize, but his subconscious already knows
That’s he’s just really not that special, and it obviously shows.

Even though he’s only seven, it’s still abundantly clear
That he ain’t curing any disease, or winning Boy of the Year.
No society changing inventions will come from his average mind,
And his thoughts and/or opinions will never alter the course of humankind.

He doesn’t know that yet, and he’ll always be told a lie
That he’s a unique snowflake, and a special lil’ guy.
He’ll belabour under this myth for a lifetime’s worth of years,
Living an average life filled with average happiness and tears.

But does it really matter if Danny isn’t the special-est guy on Earth?
And the world won’t feel any impact from his death or birth?
Because if EVERYONE is special, then no one really is
Each person has their role to play, and being Un-Special is his.

“The Girl Who Causes All of the Problems in the World”

I am why my parents divorced,
I am why every social encounter is awkward and forced
Spending time with me is like seasoning your wound with salt,
And that is because absolutely everything is always my fault

People are only nice to me because they feel bad
I make them all miserable, and instantly sad
I wish it was different, but it’s my not-so-secret shame
That I am the one who is always to blame.

No one is quite sure just what to do with me
They all seem so confident, living happy and carefree
It’s no wonder everyone hates me with all the problems I cause,
I bet if I died tomorrow there’d be an avalanche of applause.

I swear I don’t mean to cause problems, but why would they believe?
So I’m going to just sit in this corner, and never ever leave.

“Scared of Silence”

As she grows older, Allison Reynolds has found
That she will go insane without ever-present sound.
When everything goes quiet, her brain starts to feast
So she constantly pumps in noise, to quiet the beast.

Doesn’t matter if it’s music, a movie, or an old TV show,
It can be DVD commentary or even talk radio.
It occupies her day and soothes her asleep at night,
For sitting still without sound is her greatest fright.

But as long as it’s noise, and it’s pumped into her ears
She’ll never have to suffer the silence she fears.
Twenty-four hour audio aurally pounding her head,
So she’ll never have a quiet moment until she is dead.
