Tie The Rope by The Format

I'm in envy of addicts.
You're obsessed with stars.
Don't, don't you sound so excited
showing me your vanity?

Whisper it once, just a little bit.
C'mon
Whisper it twice. I can't stand 
to see the spotlights shine
one more night.
It's killing me to see you.

Just tie the rope
and kick the chair.
Just leave me hangin there
gasping for air.
Yeah, don't mind me three feet from the ceiling.

You'd rather watch me drown
than see your hands get wet.
You took the plot from stage to screen
and turned it into an epic scene.

So whisper it once, tell me again.
C'mon, whisper it twice.
I can't stand
to see my whole life flash before my eyes.
When I'm with you 
there's no point in breathing.

Just tie the rope,
Oh and kick the chair.
Just leave me hangin there,
gasping for air.
Yeah, don't mind me three feet
from the ceiling. 
And I think I know
why you never get too close.
It's cause you're too scared to.

When I'm with you theres
no point in breathing.

What Is It?

It's a miracle I'm standing here.
Sometimes it's still too much to take.
They say I'm strong. Am I so strong?
I'm really not. I think I'm fake.

Where are you?

Something slipped, and someone cried,
And everyone we love will die.
My loves too much. So it's a lie.
I love too much. It makes me cry.

We run and think and smoke and drink.
My hands are stained. Is it blood or ink?
My words are not the missing link.
A broken chain. We're on the brink.

Where am I?

They called me nice, well they were wrong.
I've just refined this darkness too long.
I'm an evil one. Don't sing this song.
My hearts not big. They all were wrong.

My eyes have learned to look quite real.
My brains learned well to fake the feel.
The cracks are hidden, but never heal.
I never give. Just hit and steal.

Where are we?

Something Good?

What good could come of moving my head to another resting place?
I am weaving, floating, over and down, up and down.
We are riding a wave. I cannot drown.
Silence is beautiful
The trees are beautiful, in all there intricate glory.
But what do I see?
I see nothing.
I see everything.
I am unsure, but so fully aware and okay with it.
The music, it's a lullaby
It's a soundtrack
It's a lifeline.
It's speaking to me the sounds of my heart.
I like what I hear, I do.
I don't understand all of it.
Such is life.
Brain prompts me to write each moment.
I'm losing the words.
That is okay.
Each movement is dizzying.
I can map it with my eyes.
We live in quite a beautiful world, don't we?
Look around you.
We are here.
We are riding this wave.
We cannot drown.

Ho Hey by The Lumineers.

I've been tryin to do it right.
I've been livin a lonely life.
I've been sleeping here instead.
Ive been sleeping in my bed.
Sleeping in my bed...

So show me family
all the blood that I will bleed.
I don't know where I belong.
I don't know where I went wrong.
But I can write a song.

Weird Weather Brings Weird Writing

It snowed yesterday.
I don't know what else to say
except that its May.
