so would you like that drink?
fine, yea i know. i remember that too
in your living room, right?
when we began to fight but then we both got confused
then we were laughing & crying in awe of the size of the moon do you want to die?
fine you’re right
but i wonder what it feels like
to stop feelin so alive
what if we could wake up in five years & things’d be feelin alright?
i wanna visit the future & dance in a field of light!

 

Jesus this is good.

 

Now that the treatment and antidepressants
and seven months sober have built me a bed
in the back of your brain where the memories flicker
and I paw at the synapses' bright bits of string.

You should know I am with you, know I forgive you,
know I am proud of the steps that you've made.
Though it will never be easy or simple,
know I will dig my claws in when you stray.
So let us rest here like we used to
in a line of late afternoon sun,
let it rest all you can't change,
let it rest and be done

 

Idk, but that song might've dethroned end of reel as the best lyrics I've heard all year

 

don't treat yourself unfairly

 

What i tried to say this isn't real
And i feel ashamed that i don't think that i can heal
It's a shame that i would pretend
Before making amends
It's a shame that i can't
But nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out
But nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned
You're still disappointing them
You're still disappointing
You're still disappointing them

 

the Milky Way's a swirling drain
gotta laugh the dread away
there's no word for what I became

 

I wrapped your love around me like a chain
But I never was afraid that it would die
You can dance in a hurricane
But only if you're standing in the eye

 

Whatever I did for you last year I cannot do again
It's getting harder and harder and harder and harder for me to call you a friend
No matter how many times I say I won't, I defend you if I can
But whatever I did for you last year I cannot do again

 

Well don't call me by my full name
And all this is temporary
It feels much better to know that you won't feel a thing
Well don't talk about it
Write it down but don't ask for help
I can't be honest with even myself
Did you ever wish you were somebody else?

 

"And never the two shall meet"
Said the tiger to its greatest fan
"The amount of love you wish to give is more than I can stand"

 

There's a big, big difference between letting go and running away

 

Feeling erodes
Moving like wash against the limestone
Leaving you cold
When I'm leaving you all alone

Hugging the walls
Finding the switch to turn the light on
To find you in a ball
Wrapped in the bedding

 

Not religious but I've always loved these lyrics. Can really see what he finds in religion/his faith. Also it's just a beautiful song.




So for everything you left,
and all of the glory you forfeit,
no matter how low you were sent,
you still couldn't know
what it's like to be alone.

Jesus I've been trying so hard to look like you
I almost missed the worst of what I put you through.
You didn't die for sins, you died covered in them. A prideful lying thief gasping out my final breaths.
For that one moment you looked just like me, Your father left you and you died completely alone.
For me, you were alone.
You conquered death all alone.
Cause you've known the deepest of all our needs. Never again. Never alone.

 

and I'm gonna keep you in love with me for awhile
and I'm gonna keep you in love with me

 

Look around, that's not me
Not one shred of who I'll be
You don't know what I do
The one way getting out is through

 

Goodness, present and hallowed, is thanking walls of the shallow
Embankments for flowing in over the ranks of
Soldiering messes of dayglow blades scorched by hovering halos
Washing away until I don't even cringe
At the thought of you

 

There's no feeling in this place
The echoes of the past speak louder
Than any voice I hear right now
Don't you ever try to be
More than you were destined for
Or anything worth fighting for
There's no feeling in this place

 

If i did what i wanted then why do i feel so bad?

I don't know what i’m afraid of...
but i’m afraid one day it all will fall away

 

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be all right
Perhaps it's just imagination

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

 

I read your last entry
Overprivileged kids keep crying
The need to fit in gets harder when living life from a screen
Old classmates, please drop all your pens
Don't write a word 'cause I won't reply
and I'm not bitter, no, it's
Just I've passed that point in my life

 

I'll find a way to make it what you want
I'll find a way to make it what you want

 

My steps keep splitting my grief through these solipsistic moods,
I should call my parents when i think of them.
I should tell my friends when i love them.
Maybe i should've got out a bit more,
when you guys were still in town.
But i got too caught up in my own shit,
every outcome's such a comedown.

I knew it when i saw it,
I did just what i wanted.
So i go through with this...
I knew happiness when i saw it,
And I saw it.

 

I walked along, beside the purple mountains
Beneath the orange sky
Imagined what it all might look like with these planks out of my eyes
I wondered if the big white horse was coming down tonight
I wanted to taste that victory but my mouth was dry

 

I can remember planting a rose
The seeds dried up when the river was low
God will come and the roots grown under
Will pull up slow
This, I know

She says we'll learn to plunder, and learn to lean
But we all learn to plunder, then learn to leave
