lyrics
I have never felt so good and so bad at the same time. I’ve never known how to live in my entire life. Do you always know what to do? Are you always so sure of yourself?
Your smile makes me feel like no one’s ever smiled before. Your eyes make me feel like I’m addicted and I’m always wanting more of a blink, of a smile, of a heartbeat worth a while, of your greens, of your sigh that hides the moment passing bye.
Will I ever get out of this quicksand? Will self-resent help me understand? These illusions are so consuming, clichés of love stories.
Depression is a lullaby. The words people say are all a lie. I’m coughing my lungs out while I play. Four weeks have gone, no progress has been made.
All is lost, none is forgotten, she must think I’m so pathetic. Coming to closure is my handicap. Coming to closure was my handicap.
So thanks for the wind that bites my cheeks, thanks for the puddles that wet my feet, thanks for the rain everywhere I stand, thanks for this pen that shakes in my hand and, most of all, thanks for this trip and for those days that made me so sick.
