Music.

What is it about music
That makes it so incredible?

If you ask a musician,
They’ll tell you all about chords.

Chords, harmonies and cadences.

I’m a musician myself,
Yet I don’t care about those things.

Music is music because
It creates something inside of people.

A feeling...
An inspiration...
A thought...
An understanding...
An energy...

Music can create things inside a person
That they’ve never before experienced

So who are you to say what somebody
Should and should not expose to their ears?

Music.
What an incredible thing.

In a great race
To the top of the world,
We left everyone else behind

Then when we looked back,
There was all to be seen,
But in our minds,
We had seen it all

Find me from miles away,
And tell me that we’ll be okay
Then I’ll search every piece of my earth
Until I find every part of yours

nothing can compare to that one moment of your life when you feel like everything is absolutely perfect. everything is as it should be. you feel like living your life like it should be lived. you feel like taking risks you've never thought of taking before. because before this one moment of your life, you were always too afraid of the outcome of that risk. you were afraid that it would be a mistake.

nothing can compare to the moment where you find out something you thought would be a mistake actually isn't a mistake. sometimes, you have to make a mistake to find out if it is a mistake. even if you know it is already. if you don't take that risk, you may never know what could have been. you'll live your entire life wondering if you had taken that one risk, maybe everything would be how you want it to be.

if you don't taste the stale cereal, you'll never know if it really is stale.

tell the person you love that you love them. don't be afraid of rejection. for all you know, they love you just the same and are too afraid that you won't accept them for who they are to tell you how they feel.

turn in that college application. maybe your grades aren't the best in the world. so what? don't be afraid of rejection. maybe you will get accepted to that college anyway, because they see how much you commit.

go to the job interview. put on your best suit. your prettiest dress. don't be afraid of rejection. maybe the guy interviewing you has the same personality as you. maybe they like the same kinds of things you do. maybe you're perfect for this job.

ask god for forgiveness. maybe in your mind, what you did is completely unacceptable and can not be forgiven. don't be afraid of rejection. god loves you for who you are, and accepts the fact that you made a mistake. but he knows it's only a mistake. and if you hadn't made that mistake, you wouldn't have asked god for forgiveness, and your relationship with god would not have been as powerful as it is after you have experienced his forgiveness.

or maybe you're not religious. have you tried to understand any sort of religion, or have you just automatically pushed it away because it seems so ridiculous and makes no sense? don't be afraid of rejection. maybe you'll find something you can hold on to. something to believe in. and if not, at least you tried. you put yourself, body and mind, out into the world to experience something completely foreign to you. at least you know for sure how you feel now.

take the risk.
make that mistake.
taste the cereal.

Her lips finally shut after only seconds of motion.
The river on her face proves her words were true.
Where are we?
The room suddenly feels smaller.
Every memory we shared raced through my mind and it put an unexpected smile on my face.
Why are my teeth showing?
I am simply happy to be around her, even with the news she has brought to me.
Now I know that it truly is love between us, and I am fully prepared to remain in the same world as her until she is forced to leave.
I cannot stop looking at her beautifully frightened, worried and nervous face.
At least I know I don’t love a robot, but a human being.
While her eyes are lowered in belief that I would be afraid to care for her as I had before this moment, mine are stuck on her, wet with even greater affection than before.
The hand that is not tangled in her own is touching through her bright red hair, feeling what will soon not exist.
Her body is tense but mine is relaxed, because while she does not know how strong she is, I know that cancer cannot possibly defeat everything.

“Look around, you don’t belong
In this place, in my heart
So leave this now, and run away
Escape to home for me

While I’m gone, please don’t forget
My name, what you meant
And while you’re gone, I’ll still love you
Please, escape to home for me”

Torn apart, I disappeared
Into thin, unclear air
Where angels dance, I’ll meet her there
Until then, our home is nowhere

Two years since the day
When I could not hear the words,
And “I can’t come up for air”

Maps remain beneath the dust
Of seven ten, and the memories of
Passed notes between birds and snakes
They say; “escape to home for me”

Before now, my eyes were shut
Snakes could fly, birds could crawl
Where angels dance, I’ll meet her there
Until then, our home is nowhere

“Sometimes home isn’t enough
All I need is this, and somewhere to breathe
My whole life, I’ve ran away
But now I know birds can’t crawl, I miss you”

As the glass turns over,
Her eyes start to fade
Suddenly all I believe
Is put on hold

While the sand is pouring,
His eyes start to fade
Suddenly all I have
Falls into their hands

Their days dance on.

On this winter night, they ran away to Heaven’s gate
Moonlight slowly descends and destroys seven ten
Meanwhile, I try
Meanwhile, I lie
Meanwhile, I die

In this freezing blizzard,
Can I be the same?
All I see is their shadows,
Taken from me

This illusion, shattered
Will it be replaced?
Here they come again
To take my dreams away

Their days dance on.

On this winter night, they ran away to Heaven’s gate
Moonlight slowly descends and destroys seven ten
Meanwhile, I try
Meanwhile, I lie
Meanwhile, I die

So now I watch
As creatures graze
Through rose petals
Made of frozen dreams

She spreads her wings and flies
Unspoken thoughts surrounding her
Hanging high above her sporadic world
Opened eyes take the sun, the stars and clouds

She lives here alone
She stands invisible

He swims beneath the sea
False promises surrounding him
Breathing low below his chaotic life
Relaxed minds take the worries and the fright

His heart is poured into
The silent crowd without warning
But the crowd stays silent throughout the night
Confused hearts give back worries and the fright

He lives here alone
He stands invisible

One eye is closed, while one looks down
A simple smile, a wave ‘hello’
Their worlds become one, unseen to everyone
Invisible eyes see a hidden mind

They live here alone
They stand invisible
They share twisted hearts
They love, invisible
