Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
The music drones, people speak but you learn to stop paying attention. You’re sitting right next to the speakers, you can feel your mind unwinding. Slowly. Slowly.
Turquoise. Aqua. Beautiful words that slip of your tongue like pearls on a shiny marble floor. Click, take pictures. One. Two. I shut my eyes in that one, I ruined it for everyone.
Drink, be merry, go away, fly away from here. Reflect, recollect, remember. This was me once, that was happiness.
Now I see you, but you don’t see me.
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Beats, whole solid chestnut beats. Hits your heart doesn’t it? Right in the center. Every atom in your fingers tingle, every part of you unravels, every essence of you flows out into one perfect sandstorm.
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Train yourself to stop thinking, to shut it all away into little mahogany boxes of memories that lie on the top of your cupboard catching dust. Just pictures and postcards and small memories. Befitting of small people and of long gone yesterdays.
Colour blind. Black and white, dust and sky, scared and everyshy.
Too late Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Hold them in, they aren’t worth it. They don’t mean anything, they never did. In black corners you can mourn, but for the world, you have to smile. Sunshine yellow, pebbly grey. Remember? You have to be the pillar, you have to accept being let down, you have to be thrown around and left to fend for yourself.
You are nothing. Remember that. Not to them, not to anyone.
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to Carry each other
Carry each other One...life
Live for yourself, celebrate yourself, choose your life, choose your defeats. When you fall, fall for your misgivings. Enjoy failure, taste regret but do it for you, not for them. Not for her or him or them.
They are dispensable.
Remember? You're the one who said it.

My absolute FAVORITE song of all times...intense, profound lyrics, that hit so close to home and heart. But all that u wrote in between the lyrics.....WOW.
your rendering gives abstraction and emotions the weight,the feel of tangible reality so effortlessly that its easy to forget you are talking about something ethereal.
I come here, go ga-ga over your writing and then somehow end up not visiting for days or months at a stretch.
to avoid that...You have been linked! =)
It gets easier.
You learn not to pay attention to the tune underneath the music. YOu learn to look at the bigger picture, instead of the hidden one.
It gets easier, but it doesn't get better.
It never gets better... just easier and easier till it doesn't even matter anymore.
And niether do you.
But here, and now. And in ever now from now on, you can choose to be who you want to be because the only thing that's dispensable is what you stop to care about. Not vice versa.
