I died again. I always think I've got it figured out and I can be saved but I'm wrong. And it left. I knew it all along, she was no answer, at least in herself. She was a reminder to me of life, being alive, not living this waking death. I don't wanna say it, but you put all your eggs in one basket and that basket's me and I am a shitty basket. I want to breathe and not be crushed, I want to not mess up, but it may be too late. It's never too late. I'd rather die completely than just in part. I want that Life back. I can't expect anyone to understand. I am alone and my loneliness is carved in stone. I am alone and it's time I acted like it. I am alone. i want to breathe and not be crushed i want to not mess up we're leaving like we always said we would we're breathing like we always prayed we could I love you I don't know what that means I love you and that's why I have to leave I want to breathe and not be crushed I want to not mess up

come over and hold me darlin, or keep layin there and i'll keep callin, i'll keep playin and you keep fallin asleep if you ever remember what was together in the both of us, we'll see if there's any justice for me i'm colder than i have ever been, i'm older than i wanna be my shoulder is there for you but you're not leanin on me i been livin in a fantasy, daydreamin is killin me, i'm feelin that i would gladly wake up if you'd just put some coffee on and start singin a brand new song, my heart's beatin, i think we're gonna make it i'm colder than i have ever been, i'm older than i wanna be my shoulder is there for you but you're not leanin on me lovin you is the hardest thing i could choose to keep on tryin to do you don't make it easy but lovin you is the smartest thing that i could choose to keep on tryin to do, i don't want it easy it's time to get on with it, i'll remember to not forget, i'll grow up and i will get my act together it's time to get off of this repetitive pessimissistic fear that makes me keep on missing what i hold dear so hold on dear, lend me a listenin ear, i'm thinkin maybe we're gonna make it easy, hold on dear and the picture that will appear will get us away from here and into the future i'm colder than i have ever been, i'm older than i wanna be my shoulder is there for you but you're not leanin on me i'm older than i have ever been i'm colder than the color blue if your shoulder is there for me, well i want to lean on you i'm older than i have ever been but i'm younger than I'll ever be

we bleu it 05:16
when clinging on to you never seemed to get me anywhere, bringing on the blue was the only thing that helped us see what's there. please believe me, i'm growing up, or at least i'm trying to... we're leaving like we always said we would we're wasting no time we're speaking in rhyme and rhythm i'm pasting my face on the walls all over town i hope you will look, i hope i can be found from waking in the night worried about what i've done to you to "breaking up's alright, i swear to God it's what we've gotta do" please believe me, i won't grow up, at least not in that filthy way you want me to, the man you're demanding out of me you won't get, wait and see, i'll be a little boy forever i'm leaving like i always swore to god i would quit wasting my time, i've paid for my crimes but i can't forget them you're pasting my face on the milk cartons at school but no one will look, i've jumped off the pedestal please believe me, when i grow up this will make a lot more sense we're leaving like we always said we would we were wasting our lives we will waste our lives no longer i'm taking my place on your television screen i hope you will look i hope we can be seen

about

falling off a building Columbia, South Carolina

this act began in 2004 and just turned fourteen years old. it's been surviving on the fringes of interest since the day it was first conceived. it's worth doing. it's that thing of realising you are your own best friend and you need to take as good of care of yourself as you possibly can and in so doing you learn to take care of everyone else. ... more
