Nought
i guess i just got used to having sugar
so much so that even just drinking water
tasted bitter
but given time it'll be okay

i don’t mind spending everyday
out on the corner in the pouring rain
i keep reminding myself to chill and that there’s nothing i can do about it and i keep telling myself that i’m happy i shouldn’t be upset everything is nice everything is groovy, but god this hurts–this really *****
i’m sad

staying up past midnight
scrolling through the dim light,
reading, god,
i remember why i loved you,
not just that i did, but why,
you say barely a friend,
go back and read it then

there was so much love
and passion,
my throat gets sore thinking about it,
everytime i read it,
my light becomes less dim,
my lungs expand, heartbeat quickens,
a smile on my face yet tears in my eyes,
i can’t believe
i forgot how in love with you i–
am

i lost myself in the fall
mind frantic,
what was i trying to accomplish exactly?
acting so heroic, knowing no one is perfect,
why did i have such a low limit
why did i care so much
i’m all, “learn and acknowledge then move on” but where was that then?

selfishness results in losing close friends
word of advice,
ride out the times,
make light,
stop trying to extinguish other’s,
there’s no reason for fights,
vibe and have a good time,
word of advice; just live your ******* life
yeah i learned, but where was that then?
i don’t even know where to begin
i’m afraid what you’ll say cause i’m quiet now, but silence gives you space

We had run around
In the summer in the nighttime
We made no sound
And deep in the forest we get lost
Whistle to the Birds as they call
Go on Trips
Moving with weather as it shifts
We took to the seas and let it drift
How many islands could we hear?

I´d follow you
To the end of the world if only you would ask me to
On and on we go, my friend
I’ve got you
Nothing to stop us now
Because we found in life what´s true
Oh my friend i can’t stress enough  
I´d follow you

if only you would ask me to
you could have asked why we fell apart you could have told me that you fell apart
but you walked past me like i wasn’t there

if it hurts so bad
please
walk away
but if you see hope,
hey baby stay,
all i can give is my word
to try
but whether you want to comply
is not for me to decide
it won’t be the same
that i can say easily
i’ve changed my ways
the ways i see
i won’t lose myself again
to the sea
no more seaweed
wrapped around my throat
i’m moving freely with the waves
relaxing afloat
all i want to do is relax
and float
if you want to join
**** it
join me
It will happen to you
one day
out of nowhere
after a long day
You go back home
you take a shower
you start to prepare dinner
and then suddenly
you look outside
The fresh air visits you
You close your eyes
You feel a divine serenity
and your mind starts playing
all the events from your youth
Comme back child, here is your home
you are welcome
you are loved
Carry on even if fear lives in your heart
