[why?] don’t you know? you don’t have to take a shot in the dark so in love, i just hope you don’t cut me off seasons passing in exchange for the money and the fame you don’t have to play the game you can stop and contemplate: 21 and still the same, what a failure for your age hours in my cage hope they never go to waste much2high to concentrate treat my lungs with acetate now and i will always be there waiting if you need someone to care but you know, my heart’s still slowing and the hurt…  i guess- i took this selfie with my demons, should i post it? retrospective towards my future in the moment [two: how's it feel?] i'm just too scared to step away from the comfort of my own skin i'm not your golden martyr if i get out today on my wings or on a charter, i'll fly into the sun i won't be burning up if i fall back down again, i'll be falling to the end and i will always be there waiting if you need someone to care i’m just too fucked up to love you i’m just too fucked up to be (there)
