everything in life is changing
so how could we find
a stable answer
to a changing thing

there's so many layers of uncertainty
but what we can do
for sure
is live the best lives
we can
within our means
and be fearless
and loving
because we will be back
someday
after all the chaos and darkness
we will be back

when people ask
"aren't you scared?"

i just smile at them
because deep inside my core i know i am
i'm terrified of failure
and i have been exposed to it during my youth

i don't know what will happen if i try
but i do know nothing will happen if i don't

so i as i smile
i tell them
"i am scared.
i am terrified.
but i'll do it anyways"

it was nice living life
pretending to know what is right
pretending to see what is real

in this senseless world
i was hopeful
somehow thankful
that i once knew you
and if what they are saying is true
that you are there
watching from above
the holy mighty creator of love

thank you

and this is not a trial or a phase or a social experiment of some kind
i am truly hopeful that one day
someone can prove the existence of the highly improbable

because i did lose faith
in your people
in your existence
in my 'religion'

but now im trying
really hard to know the truth
and i know you, among everyone else, will understand

stop claiming what i have

everytime i declare what is mine...

you took and left my innocent heart

leaving my chest open wide...

i lost the key
to the treasure chest
of imaginary memories

we romanticized being broken too much
that we actually became one
and the worse part is
we became addicted to the pain of sadness

as we stay up all night
drowning in words of depression
finding comfort in darkness
now sorrow is our companion
which our generation tearily accepts
