Pressure

By Matthew Morefield

Peer pressure,

You always hear,

Those words spoken.

What they don’t know,

By Angela Clem

Hey baby,

Chill out

And just maybe

We won’t shout

You gotta let go

You gotta freak out

And just maybe

We won’t shout

You ask me to love

I ask you to yell

‘cause hey, I ain’t no dove

I’m all smiles and happy outside

But inside I’ve died

Yet I have no fear

Alone and scared

No one’s here

So damn scared

No one’s here

So I am fine

Alone and dead

hair down

arms like sausages

lips parted
