My bloodied wings are clipped
But my ability to fly isn’t hindered
Let me rewrite this script
So my body doesn’t wither
When I was 19 years old
I thought the world wasn’t meant for me
So I spent the next three years thinking about death in hotels and dorm rooms
Sometimes these feelings still loom
Exchanging awkward glances with strangers on the train
At the end of the day, I know
Our hearts remain the same
Broken with nothing to show
When I was 22 years old
I realized I have so much to live for
So I stopped thinking about death and started thinking about living
I’m not leaving anytime soon

Pour this smoke into my lungs to make me feel less miserable
I am so vulnerable
I’m trying to be happy when the world is slowly crumbling around me
Just don’t ruin me again please
I’m not sorry I’m leaving
It’s for the best
When I’m 5 drinks in on a Friday night
I don’t wish you were here
I wish your apologies were sincere
But they’re full of nothings
Just like your heart
You fucked me over from the start
I’m not sorry I’m leaving
It’s for the best
When I’m 5 drinks in on a Friday night
I don’t wish you were here

Comfort & Sorrow

I’m just getting started
But the world has other plans
I can’t fall off
No, not this time
I’m old enough to decide my fate
I got twelve more shots at comfort
And only one more shot at hope
If these years all turn to sorrow
I hope to find someone at home
I’m now in the grey
Caught between the lines
And where I should land next
I’m preparing for my flight
I got twelve more shots at comfort
And only one more shot at hope
If these years all turn to sorrow
I hope to find someone at home

We are men
We carve our own paths
We come from different places
We are not one
We are several units thrust upon duties we did not expect
Our lives somehow brought us together
Still at the beginning, still infinite
Sorry for those who couldn’t take the time of day
It’s a tough demand, but we understand
I think about the weather
And my outside world
The friends I might lose in college
It might hurt some
The depths I crawl that will lead to angry faces
But I’ll still fight against the elements
Even if it leaves me broken
Sorry for those who couldn’t take the time of day
It’s a tough demand, but we understand
I love it
I won’t stop
I love it
I love it
I won’t stop
I love it
We don’t know if we will go forward
So far, so good
