You know I'm good at letting people go I'd fight for you and I'd cry, but I was here before It's kind of empty, the space is suffocating, I choke But I've been here before, I've been here I know I'm seeking comfort on those horoscope sites I'm letting everything pass me by But healing is slow, it's like hitting a wall And you're imprisoned by your own mind I read Eliot's eyes that last I saw in tears It's my affliction too, I shall not be And the words set the rhythm for my blood At all times, at all costs.

I'm good at letting people go
A part of me wants to die today for it would be quite beautiful. The snow makes it better, if there was blood, it would look awfully good on the white surface. And the air coming out of my lungs would gradually become colder and colder. Sylvia died in a hot, steaming stove, but I would bleed out, slowly turning to ice. It’s not cold enough here for that, but there would be exquisite beauty in it. I wouldn’t make the headlines, and people wouldn’t read into my death. But as life would be fleeting from my body, I would know. Death would hug me like no one else ever had before. And I would become one with everything I once loved. What is death if not love? Holding hands with her now, the palms of our fingers lightly touching. There’s no better remedy for life than death itself.

Choose life Choose peace Choose your name And the god you believe in Choose your prison Choose your cage Choose the noise that keeps you sane Choose your truth Choose your lies Choose the headline of the week Choose the passing time Choose wisely You don't get to do that twice Choose life, Let it chew you on, chew you out Choose life
