I will wait but I'm a a little bit afraid They're gonna talk to me So I will wait But I'm a little bit afraid Nothing ever has to hold back when I'm not with you I used to wanna give back now that's all that I do So Will you hold me tight Will you hold me tight Will you hold me tight Until the end of the night?

moment 2 03:51
I've been told that nothing is for free So I guess this world's not meant for me I don't need much But that's not guaranteed I just wanna see all the things that I can see I don't need to worry bout all the things in my head Cuz I've been scared for way too long about what it means to be dead Don't it feel like all you have is what's in front of you right now But I promise there's more Ya I promise there's more Cuz I've been told that nothing is for free So I guess this world's not meant for me I don't need much But that's not guaranteed I just wanna see all the things that I can see x2 I used to think that all I wanted was to be A sad site But what does that mean for somebody That's like me? I used to get so upset with myself when I would fuck things up But I guess I wasn't feelin Wasn't livin Oh just feel the moment You don't need me The air is cheap x4

Running Endless track Infinite burger no heart attack Muscles full of lactic acid ...wouldn't change a thing Cuz I love it so much Heaven called Telling me I won the Jackpot Spend it all wrong And now its gone I guess I'll be movin on Swimmin up the current A fishie finally feelin some purpose I'll be in your pond soon ...DON'T TELL ME NO Cuz I love it so much Heaven called Telling me I won the Jackpot Spend it all wrong And now its gone I guess I'll be movin on I know that you can't hold me down x8 I've been upset, I've been a wreck I don't need that, I don't need that x7 Fall down Get up Stay down You suck x6 You can't wash the windows with my soul I already sold it you know who Took that gun and raised it to my chest Haven't felt the same since I could guess 516 the number I could get Lost in memory to a suspect Dream I had, but now I just forget All the things that made me happy

(...journaling, collage, but what seems to have the most impact, is mask making) mmmmmmm mmmm mmm m m mmm m m m m mmmmmm Feeling like its all done wrong Don't know how to go on Feeling like I can't touch anything Without it breakin So fragile this life is Feel it on your fingertips But please don't let it go Don't let it go Before it is gone (...one thing is that they didn't take people out into the sunshine where you begin to feel better, they didn't include drumming or music to get people's blood going, they didn't involve the whole community, they didn't externalize the depression as an invasive spirit. And I think I'm going to give that a try) Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya And I've been workin all night long And I cannot find my damn phone But what's it good for anyway? If I am never gonna feel safe And I'm been lookin all day long But I cannot find my damn home Maybe I'm just a little lost Or maybe it's just all gone So now I'm staring at the wall While the leaves they just fall off All there is is branches for me to climb up or onto (...philosphers have told us, for thousands of years, that the power to create is very closely linked to the power to destroy. Now science is showing us that the part of the brain that registers a traumatic wound, can be the part of the brain where healing happens too) Ya you feel Close-minded Ya these feelings All subsided Believe me when I Say I tried But it feels like I've been on the losin side And I'm tired of thinkin all for you When I'm just as important as you too Turns out what I learned was all wrong So I've been trying to figure it out While growing up so far gone But my friends still are singing along (...I'm alive and grateful. We live in the right time, even if it doesn't always feel like it) Seeing life for what is A powerful existance Got my hands on both the wheel and the clutch I'm driving past All of my memories And dancing with forgiveness Holding hands with all the people I love most in this World
