“ALL THE THINGS I COULD’VE DONE, ALL THE PEOPLE I COULD BE” ALL THE NIGHTS I’VE WASTED THINKING THESE THINGS NO MORE WILL I RESIDE IN FEAR, WILL ANGER BE MY NAME NO MORE WILL SADNESS SMOTHER ME, WILL I HANG MY HEAD IN SHAME TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES THE MOON’S ONLY A BLOCK AWAY IF WE WALK UP THRU THE SKY MAYBE OUR STARS DON’T CHANGE, BUT THE LINES BETWEEN THEM DO EITHER WAY, I’LL FIND A REASON TO PULL THRU FOR TOO LONG, I’VE CARRIED A DARKNESS AND TRIED TO ILLUMINATE THE SKIES BUT EVERY DAY WAS A REASON TO TRY NO MORE WILL CLOUDS HANG OVER ME, WILL THUNDER BURST WITH TEARS NO MORE WILL EVERYTHING GOOD ONLY HAPPEN IN MY DREAMS TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES THE MOON’S ONLY A BLOCK AWAY IF WE WALK UP THRU THE SKY MAYBE OUR STARS DON’T CHANGE, BUT THE LINES BETWEEN THEM DO EITHER WAY, I’LL FIND A REASON TO PULL THRU

IN THE FIELD WHERE I DIED, WHERE I GAVE YOU MY LIFE, THE ANIMALS HIDE AND WAIT FOR THEIR TIME SO MOVE ALL THE ROCKS AWAY FROM THAT SPOT AND TEAR UP THE GRASS UNTIL NO TIME HAS PASSED LOOK OVER AT ME—I WON’T LET YOU LEAVE I’LL HOLD YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP I’LL HOLD CLOCKS FROM TICKING BECAUSE NO ONE BELIEVES IN WHAT THEY CAN’T SEE LISTEN TO ME—SILENCE IS DEAFENING OUTSIDE MY FRONT DOOR, I CRACKED OPEN YOUR CORE YOUR TEARS MADE A STREAM I NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE THE STARS, THEY ALL WATCHED AS YOU CRUMBLED IN SPOT I KNEW WHAT I WAS SEEING—A MEMORY THEY SAY THE DEAD ARE NO LONGER LONELY BUT UNTIL YOU JOIN ME, I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE BECAUSE NO ONE BELIEVES NO ONE BELIEVES NO ONE BELIEVES IN WHAT THEY CAN’T SEE IN THE FIELD WHERE I DIED, THAT’S WHERE I ENDED MY LIFE BUT ALL THE THINGS I DID WRITE WILL LAST FOR ALL TIME

LIE TO YOURSELF BUT DON’T LIE TO ME I ALWAYS FIND THE TRUTH YOU’RE SAYING NOTHING BUT YOUR EYES SPEAK IN WAYS YOUR WORDS WOULD ONLY RESTRAIN WORDS ARE FLAWED YEAH THAT’S WHY WE DON’T SAY WHAT WE MEAN WE’RE MUCH TOO OLD FOR SUBTLETY BUT WE’RE MUCH TOO YOUNG FOR STANDING IN PLACE NOT WISE ENOUGH TO GO OUR SEPERATE WAYS I’M STUCK TO WRITING WHAT I WANT TO SAY BUT YOU’RE ALRIGHT WITH WRITING EVERY OTHER DAY THE LINKS, THEY HAVE CRUMBLED THE TIES, THEY HAVE FRAYED I FEAR I AM GOING INSANE IT’S SO FUCKING STRANGE TO FEEL ANYTHING I KNOW IT’S FLEETING I KNOW I WILL FADE I KNOW I WON’T STAY SO ALONE, UP THERE IN THE SKY I’M LOOKING DOWN I’M LOOKING BACK I’M WONDERING WHAT THIS MEANS I’M WONDERING WHAT IT MEANT TO YOU

I AM NOT ASKING FOR A LOT—JUST A SECOND, IF YOU’VE GOT ONE THERE ARE THOUGHTS WITHIN THIS HEAD THAT I CAN’T BEAR TO WRITE AGAIN I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S WORTH IT ANYMORE YOU DON’T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF WANTING MORE SOME THINGS, I ONLY SEE WITH MY EYES CLOSED ALL THOSE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED.. YOU SAY YOU WANT ME IN YOUR LIFE BUT YOU WON’T MAKE THAT CHOICE THERE’S NO MOVING ON, YOU SEE I LOOK FOR YOU IN EVERYONE I MEET AND I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S WORTH IT ANYMORE MY HEART IS COLD MY SOUL’S READY TO RETIRE SOME THINGS, I ONLY SEE WITH MY EYES CLOSED ALL THOSE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED.. THERE’S A FACE THAT HAUNTS ME IN MY DREAMS BUT IT DOESN’T BELONG TO ANYBODY LIKE A STAR, I BURNT OUT LONG BEFORE YOU COULD TELL LIKE A STAR, I’M BURNT OUT AND COLLAPSING INTO HELL BECAUSE SOME THINGS, I ONLY SEE IN MY DREAMS YOU AND ME—THERE’S NOTHING ELSE YOU’RE THE SILENCE IN BETWEEN ALL THE NOTES THAT I’M SINGING

IF YOU ASKED ME HOW I FELT, WHERE WOULD I START? I THINK THERE’S SOMETHING MIS-WIRED IN MY HEART ALL THESE CHEMICAL IMBALANCES IN MY BRAIN ARE A FRACTION OF WHAT YOU DO TO ME I CAN’T COUNT THE NIGHTS I’VE LAID ON THE FLOOR I TURN OFF THE LIGHTS AND I LOCK THE DOORS I SCREAM AT THE CEILING AND I START TO PRAY I BELIEVE IN GOD, IF ONLY JUST FOR THE NIGHT JUST FOR THE NIGHT I’LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER WHO BELIEVES THESE DREAMS NEVER FIND SOMEONE WHO WON’T LEAVE ME EMPTY I WILL ALWAYS WISH THAT I WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE I WILL ALWAYS WISH I COULD HAVE LOVED MYSELF SO DON’T LEAVE ME WITHOUT PROMISING THAT YOU’LL COME BACK I’LL BE RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME I’M AFRAID I’LL ALWAYS BE THIS ALONE I’M AFRAID THAT, MAYBE, I AM JUST A GHOST CAUSE I’VE ALWAYS FELT THAT I’M ALREADY DEAD AND JUST WAITING FOR MY HEART TO STOP BEATING IN ANOTHER LIFE, OH, I WOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO BE LOVED AND FILLED WITH HAPPINESS THERE’S ANOTHER ME OUT THERE WHO SCREAMS OUT OF JOY AND NOT OUT OF MISERY SO DON’T LEAVE ME WITHOUT PROMISING THAT YOU’LL COME BACK I’LL BE RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME
