Don't feed me violins

I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind

But the truth is that, in life, there are nice people with giving, naive, loving souls who put themselves last and want to see the best in those they love–even if it is nearly impossible in practice. These people, the “Nice Guys” of the world who are, as the saying goes, so destined to finish last, are rare. They are fragile and beautiful and represent a greater innocence that we could all do well to appreciate. The childlike openness with which they see the world and the unintentional willingness to be walked all over are two qualities that are crushed between the cold, often uncaring cogs of human interaction. We break their spirit, we tell them they are wrong, we make them cry.

She may not be able to tell you how it hurt, she may still be blaming herself for a million things that aren’t her fault, but know that it’s true. Know that you took someone who was willing to put their faith in others and taught them to be wary and cold. Know that one day, she will find someone who loves her the way she deserves to be loved, and she will have the kind of happiness she deserves. But please know, most of all, that when she has those wonderful things–it will be in spite of you.

why don't you miss me

even on my weakest days,
i'm getting a little bit stronger
just a little bit stronger...

i'm done hoping we can work it out

i know my heart will never be the same but i'm telling myself i'll be ok, even on my weakest days

you say, "come touch me," but you're always out of reach.

Hell is waking up every god damned day and never knowing why you're here

I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

When the truth is found.
To be lies.
And all the hope.
Within you dies.
Then what?

"lonely" isn't quite enough

Someday

In many ways, they'll miss the good old days
Someday, someday
Yeah, it hurts to say, but I want you to stay
Sometimes, sometimes

When we was young, oh man, did we have fun
Always, always
Promises, they break before they're made
Sometimes, sometimes

Oh, My-ex says I'm lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darlin', your head's not right
See, alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes

Oh, someday...

No, I ain't wastin' no more time

And now my fears
They come to me in threes
So, I
Sometimes
Say, "Fate my friend,
You say the strangest things
I find, sometimes"

Oh, My-ex says I'm lacking in depth
Say I will try my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darlin', your head's not right
See, alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes

Oh, someday...

I ain't wasting no more time

during the week i wait for the weekend, and during the weekend i can't wait for the week

But I need more than myself this time

Snow freaks me out. It's crazy that if it hits your skin it's just a drop of water that disappears but at the same time it can pile high and hold my weight if i walk on it. That little drop of water can pile 6 ft on the ground and create a barrier that was never there before. Then it's just gone the next morning.

all this time and everythings changed but I still feel the same
all good things eventually end and get lost down the drain

Not a drop to drink

Every night
I'll never put the lights out
Cause someone else
Will drive around
Cause I'm coming 'round
Boys, boys, everywhere
But not a drop to drink
I want to find a good one
Who still knows how to think

And it's everything and nothing
That I thought it would be
And it's nothing and everything
That I thought it would be

I need desire, to feel alive
I want a fire
To burn me up inside
So I'm calling angels
Help me to tonight
(help me tonight)
Tonight

Every night
I'll never put the lights out
Everyone's talking
But no one's listening
Pretty faces, fancy places
Nothing keeps you high
Everybody's wasted
Won't look you in the eye

And it's everything and nothing
That I thought it would be
And it's nothing and it's everything
That I thought it would be

I need desire, to feel alive
I want a fire
To burn me up inside
So I'm calling angels
Help me to tonight
(help me tonight)
Tonight

Every night
I'll never put the lights out
Do you go look for love
Or does love come look for you?
I take my head, I put on make-up
In case he comes around
Without warning, when I wake up
Will I turn it down

I need desire, to feel alive
I want a fire
To burn me up inside
Rearrange the heavens
Is making me this right
So I'm calling angels
To help me to tonight
(help me tonight)
Tonight

Every night
I'll never put the lights out
