i sang with my heroes the other night
in an ac/dc shirt and jeans and converse 
and i could feel my hair in my face
as i screamed and cried and laughed as 
i let out those words that i love so much

and i can't begin to form the right words
to say that that was the most 
beautiful time in my life and that as i saw
him sing and i saw them play and 
i watched as he sang his heart out 
and i wanted to do the same so badly

i wrote out "stay free" on my knuckles
and i jutted my fist into the air as 
i let the words loose and i could almost
feel them flutter away and soar
instead of cripple and die like the do usually
and i feel proud because of that
and i can't hear or walk right today
i'm so sore and i'm proud of that

i felt my words go free and every time
my loose feet slammed into the ground
to push me higher
i felt like flying
i let them out and breathed them in
and i saw other souls there
just like me and i felt their skin on mine

and i could feel those heavy words
ripping from
the speakers in choppy angry crackling
shouts and tears 

and i felt my own shouts
burn my throat

what's left for only you 
to take if i put too much blood
on the page

i can feel the bass in my lungs

i can feel tears in my eyes

i can feel a smile on my face

i want to be here forever
listening to his voice and 
those guitars
in this beer-smelling, brick-walled
place i call home

because i was never too cool for
any band
i discovered my stars and i 
never want to let them go
and i promise myself i won't
as i stand tossed in the waves and
in the throws of teenage rebellion
