Nothing is where it is, because you want it to be...
Nobody is who they are, because you want them to be...
You may be who you are, and where you are, because you want to be,
But you won't be at peace,
until you are who and where,
*you are meant to be

Some things grip you tight,
though you want to set yourself free;
Some things slip away,
though you hold on tight...

That anchor you hold onto for dear life?
It may keep you from drowning,
But it's also keeping you from exploring the vast

The only thing they found under the bed,
were unmatched socks and worn out comics.
The real terrors that waited for me,
Hid inside my mind,
Somewhere between regret and worry.

Desperate to drift to sleep
I'd meet the monster inside.
He wouldn't try to attack,
He'd grin and I'd grin back,
We were the same after all.

People often wish life had a rewind button,
Sometimes I wish too,
But at the moment,
A forward button would just do

To see if there's a light,
At the end of this long dark tunnel,
And to see if it's worth the fight,
To put up with this hopeless struggle

To see if there's a real version,
Of these dreams of tomorrow years,
To see if courage will be victorious,
Over these crippling omnipresent fears

To see if there's an end,
To this bottomless free fall,
To see if it's everything ever imagined,
Or, (I hope not)
*if it's nothing at all

Pour your heart out to me
I can't
Why?
*You'd drown in the very first drop

Rise up little fire.
Can’t you feel the great heat within you.
You’ll never be missed in death if you never start to live.
The sparks scare me too.
We can’t control where we grow.

It wasn’t an accident.
It was out of necessity.
The universe needed our presence.
It has a service,
just one thing it needs from us.

In return, we live.

That in fact, is the requirement to live.
Loud. And with great force.
Crackle.
So that even the coldest phantoms can feel it.
Don’t be afraid to melt them.

It will hurt. But what other choice do you have?
Sizzle. Putter. *****.
Never.
Build. Burn. Blaze.
