“I’m losing track of what I’ve lost again. My friends say that they’re proud , but I’ve seen what it cost them. You’re waiting for a break in the bends of my head, a shallow reply to a heart on the mend.
I’m trying my best to show that I can shine through
All of the darkness I seem to keep falling into….

I think I got everything that I’ll ever need,
I’ll hide away misery and what’s left of me.
Not afraid of change - just all the things I can’t keep.”

“
we fall asleep with the color of the sunrise
we count the years on circles under our eyes
we dream in shades of blue and grey…
we speak in tongues of metaphors and stories
we bleed the ink of subtle allegory
we are the needles in the hay…

so many faces, so many voices
so many reasons to give this up.
this goes on and on.”
