I've pulled the roots and burned the bridges,
I've wasted time on digging ditches,
I've bailed, I've hid, been poor, had riches,
But of all these things my only wish is,
My wildflower could give forgiveness,

We should be meeting in the middle
It should be like that all the time
But sometimes it hurts more than a little
When the darkness obscures the line
It's a sinking feeling
When all we're doing is clinging to the floor
Lowest of the low
Like there's no fight in me left to fight for
You can only go down so deep
Before you have to come up for air
Now I lay me down to sleep
Whenever I wake I hope you'll be there

what do you want me to say, what do you want me to do to prove to you that I'm sorry. I never ment to hurt you. it was the farthest thing from my mind, but I did, and I hate my self so much. I don't wish myself death. I want to wreathe in my hurt knowing I can't fix this **** up and your suffering for it. I want to peal all my flesh away and show you how much it hurts me for having been the source of all this anguish. I don't know how to deal with any of this.

If I seem distant it's
because I am.
I abandon this city
like rain down gutters
trying to get back
to a home, a field, a shore,
no traffic, no smoke
where air is pure
& lungs breathe deep,
in a rhythm
untarnished by
tarmac & brick;
modernity's grip
that looks for life
& buries it, forgets
Earth has a pulse
a heart that beats
beneath us.

Just so you know
I think I'm getting better
Just so you know
I met this girl

She's a crazy mess
But **** she's so blessed
And in that red dress
All the wolves will be after her.
They are out to eat her whole.

Just so you know
I'm a worthless wreck
Just so you know
That girl doesn't have eyes for me

So now I'm here
Drunk and looking
For her in that red dress
But I think they got to her first

Just so you know
I'm wondering alone again
Just so you know.
I'm lost in the snow

My footprints trace back
to the night we spent
Maybe she was the wolf
And I was just the one dressed in red.

I care far less
About what people think of me
And far more
About what I think of myself.

Dont think twice
Jump the gun
Dare to live
Parasail

Run up a hundred steps
Pet a stray dog
Eat foreign food
Travel the world

Talk to strangers
Tell your story
Give a high five
Smile frequently

Buy from street vendors
Ride a taxi
Learn a different language
Laugh a lot

Just live a little
