Statues.

Laureen Connolly, 17.

So I painted a picture of the things I wanted most.
To colour in the darker side of all my brightest hopes,
But there’s a monster standing where you should be
So I’ll paint you wings...

David Williams, 17.

Let me be the one to numb you out.
Let me be the one to hold you, never gonna let you get away
The shoulder you cry on, the dust that you die on.

I can be your painkiller.

Lourdes Miletio, 16.

Maybe if you care enough I wouldn't have to care so much.
What happened to our trust?

Now you're just given up.
You used to be so in love, now you don't care no more.

 

 Alexander Walsh, 18.

 The world still moves on.
I'm sorry I made you wait, I wish that I could stay.
The world still moves on,
I live for this but I'd die for you.

Ailis Connolly, 22. 
    
 In a city of fools, I was careful and cool, 

but they tore me apart like a hurricane.
A handful of moments, I wished I could change,

but I was carried away.
