So I could feel more
Care less
So I could get this
This shit off my chest
And you wouldn’t resent me
For the stuff that I cannot do
Like waking up early
Or getting day drunk with you

 

Biting my tongue now it's bleeding
Biding my time just to give in
Laying awake for days
Changing the sheets on my grave
Re-pointing the paths I've paved
Re-living mistakes I've made

 

So let them judge and shove us under
And let them do the devil's work
Let them calculate the crimes in all our broken rhymes
But let us find the heaven following the hurt

 

a marathon runner, my ankles are sprained

 

You see a flood-lit form
I see a shirt design
I'm no savior of yours
and you're no friend of mine

 

When I grow up, I want to be nothing at all

 

There's a shadow on the moon
And the waters here below
Do not shine the way they should.
And I love you just in case you didn't know.

Let it go.
Let it happen like it happened once before.
It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone
And if you do not believe me
Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door.

 

you'll never do
the things you want
if you don't move
and get a job
waste my days,
drown aways,

 

I can see it now, what gets lost but never found?
What can fasten two yet only touches one?
Who could make it hurt as much as it did before?
You can tie a string around the place it used to show

No answers
No answers when you're not around

 

From all I've heard and all I've seen,
This place has broken my American heart

 

Even though the good I have outweighs the bad,
The bad is what’s leaving me with sleepless nights

 

It's too late to tell you that I care and I'm wishing you were here
And I think it would be better if you had never left at all
This place is not the same without the smile on your face
And if you were here then I would take you everywhere

 

What's this?

 

Thursday - No Answers


Pretty much my favorite song of all time

 

I should have known that. But it really stands out on its own in a way that's entirely different.

 

So I'll shout it from the heavens above
Hell ain't nothin' but the devil's drug
And love ain't a sickness, though I once thought it was

 

The world is a beautiful place,
But we have to make it that way.
Whenever you find home,
We’ll make it more than just a shelter,
And if everyone belongs there,
It will hold us all together.
If you’re afraid to die,
Then so am I.

 

I was naive
Your love was like candy
Artificially sweet
I was deceived by the wrapping
Got caught in your web
And I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed
And devoured completely

And it hurts my soul
Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
'Cause I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from

 

And love you have given in your lifetime gives you back
I hope I remember to believe that

 

I'm tapped out
Don't it always seem to go that
You could hold it right in your hands
Collapsing and still not know

 

Confessingly, this is the first time I've loved you,
And God I mean, God I mean it, I hope that I mean it

 

Well that is that and this is this.
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky. (You missed, you missed)
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye. (You missed)
When the earth folded in on itself. (You missed)
And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell (You missed, you missed)
are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath." (You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death? (You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?

The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul.
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind.
Well I don't mind. I don't mind. How the hell could I mind?

Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. (You get away from me) You get away from me.
Well that is that and this is this.
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky. (You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?

 

I know it's all wrong but I'm so far gone
Don't need you to tell me I'm so cynical

 

It's never crazy to want more

 

Hitting me hard this week:

I don't know which is worse- the fact that you're gone, or the fact that it hurts
