You can't keep using your broken parts to fix someone else.
At some point they will be dropped into a jar and chucked at a wall.
They will break, and you will fall apart with them.

Proud

As you should be
You should be proud
Proud of what you have done
Proud of how far
You have obviously made it
And everything
Every little thing I find
I am reminded of what I carelessly forgot

If I could
I would bleach my eyes
So they could forget
Everything they have seen
Except what they seen in you

If I could
I would rinse out
My mouth and my throat
To take away the taste
Of anything except
What I tasted with you

If I could
I would burn my skin
So new flesh
Would grow and only
Would it ever know your feel

And if I could
I would turn back time
With my feet and
Let everything be you
Let all I could have ever been
Be with you

I remember the majority
And I could spend my life
Begging at your moving feet
To be something else
To be proud of

Past love and
Decades of mistakes,
Nothing equals this
I have failed you in the most impurest of ways
I would give my life
To have a new one,
To have had you
You'll always have something to be proud of.

Used to stay up
Lay awake and
Wonder if it will
All make sense

Wondered what
It exactly was
That I was missing

Now that I
Rearranged
The tiles I
Sit up and
Mindlessly wonder
If anything else
Will ever make sense

I'm messing up
And I'm messing up bad
And my dad says to not worry
But we're losing the house probably
And I haven't done anything with my life
And now every time I mess up
I'm back to being fourteen
I feel you now
It was fast
Everything is so fast now
And I breathe in and you're in the air
I scrub my skin but you're in my veins
I cry and your the salt I taste
And I want to throw my head back
But you're the water above my head
And I have never wanted a promise kept so much
But I've messed up
And now I just want to be more numb
Than any pill I've ever taken

Life changed
In a few days from now
Out of everyone
To sign up,
Fifty was the max
And of those fifty
Were two
And he said
He would make sure
You knew but with doubt
He promised it's truth
And he doesn't go against
His promised word of youth
And it's always been
Mysterious and fate
Because what if
One wasn't there
Where would you be
Would you have still
Decided to learn
And things forgotten
Come back like a train
And now you have
The marks like galaxy's
And you've never felt so sure
But life, even with moving fast,
Something's change and people,
They can be fickle
And there's hope that it isn't too late
You have never felt so much hope
In your whole entire existence
And all you have are these words
And all you have is these
Possible careless actions
But you've learned,
You've learned pain and heartache
You've tasted love and regret
Spit fire and deceit and
Consumed poison to the very pit of your soul
And even so,
You felt something was missing
And now you know
Even without him,
It will always be him

I will stay on my knees in this bright searchlight and I will feel the heat melt my skin.

Will I be alive enough for you then?

I will stick to my promise and I will speak my truth to you.

Will I be alive enough for you then?

And when you sang that song again, loud enough for me to hear it,

Was I alive enough for you then?
Can you sing louder?
I can hardly hear you over here.
How will I be able to hear you back home?
But you've always had everything planned out.
And I was something you thought was worth the planning.

How Great Thou Art
