[detectiveastro]

Awfully glad I met you…

[detectiveastro]

I was in, I was in perpetual anticipation

I never knew what was worse

The evil I, the evil I had spent my time

Reliving all of the worrying that made it hurt

I am done, I am done with waiting on the creek to rise

Cause there's more to life, there's more to life

There's more to life

We're in for nasty weather

And I'll ride it out with you

We won't be riding highs and lows

Like tides of ocean blue

We won't be here forever

Just a moment then we're through

We can't be shifting with the sands

Like seasons always do

Like seasons always do

[detectiveastro]

I'm gonna tear it down

All my childhood gates

I'm gonna wake up to a brand new day

I don't need another love to make me feel okay

I just need a lot of time and a little space

Now I'm shaking in my bones

It's crazy how my body knows

There's nowhere to go

There's nothing to say

I'm feeling trapped with no escape

I wanna be well

I wish I could change

There's nowhere to hide where you feel safe

At the bottom of a heartbreak

[detectiveastro]

I've been livin' like a firework

Breakin' the sky, but never in the ground

I've been livin' like a jet plane

Watchin' me go before you're hearin' the sound

We might die tryin', babe

We gon', we gon', we gonna go out high

Bad decisions, they don't feel bad at the time

Consequences, they don't always fit the crime

We might die tryin', babe

We gon' go out ridin' high

We might die tryin', babe

We gon', we gon', we gonna go out high

[detectiveastro]

You are beautiful and wild at every turn

Who am I to take control of that

Everybody needs a voice they can follow

When the water and the winds get bad

You know my love is not the jealous type

It don't matter if we win or lose

I could push or I could pull no matter what you're trying to do

As long as I can flow along with you

I wanna hold you close but never hold you back

Just like the banks to the river

And if you ever feel like you are not enough

I'm gonna break all your mirrors

I wanna be there when the darkness closes in

To make the truth a little clearer

I wanna hold you close but never hold you back

I'll be the banks for your river

[detectiveastro]

Oh, while I'm on this road You take my hand

Somehow You really love who I really am

I push You away, still You won't let go

You grow Your roses on my barren soul

Who am I, who am I, who am I

To be loved by You?

Who am I, who am I, who am I

To be loved by You?

Who am I, who am I, who am I

To be loved by You?

Who am I, who am I, who am I?

The way I push you through it what You had to see

I'm a train wreck, I'm a mess, You see the best and the worst in me

Still I can't imagine that I've earned Your trust

I don't understand where Your love comes from

[detectiveastro]

Far beyond the vanity

Floatin' over everything

I can see the map I took to get here

Fear and God and shame and grief

It's all connected history

Stuck inside the tunnels of our yesteryear

[detectiveastro]

I know that getting hurt is really how redemption works

My ego is a ball and chain, my instincts only make it worse

In the morning light I don't wanna run from pain

No, I can't afford to cheapen grace

Know the pain just means my soul's awake

And it calls me to light in the by and by

I wanna see your heart in my younger eyes

I wanna hear your voice in the rain and wind

I wanna know it's safe to be a child again

Well, let my past mean nothing, make it powerless

I am free like a river, I am free like a river

All my hope unbroken, you're my innocence

I am free like a river, I'm a child again

[detectiveastro]

I got the devil on my throat

Got blood on my hands

The ones that I love are in danger

I'm a fallen man

But I found me a river

And it washes me clean

I know that I'm drowning for trying

But I'll never leave

I know that I'm found

I can't keep from hiding

Don't have a choice

But I get stuck deciding

I am a man in need of

A constant revival

Jesus come quickly

I need you for my survival

[detectiveastro]

I'm lost in the waves that crush me

They bring discovery where darkness hides

Just over the ridge in front of you

Another mountain that you'll have to climb

I see the light but never find the surface

I don't know if I can swim no more

White knuckles and wild horses

One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore

One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore

[detectiveastro]

If you listen to the voices inside they won't do you wrong

You can look back over your shoulder, yeah, but don't look too long

It takes time to realize

That your life's gonna pass you by

So hang on to the light in your eyes and the feeling

Hang on to your love drunk original reason

So hang on to the small town you love but you're leaving

'Cause you won't be a fool for so long

Oh, these things they take time

And all these things take time, these things they take time

And all these things I've learned, it's never a straight line

'Cause all these things take time, these things they take time

[detectiveastro]

Someday this body's gonna call for rest

But not till the very last beat of my chest

These hills take longer than we think it does

So I'll get used to livin' with my feet off the ground

We are alive, the skin is leavin' these bones

Fly in the wind, we're burnin' out of control

We are the children chasin' wondrous things

Chasin' a vision, baby, like we're runnin' downhill

[detectiveastro]

So. We’re fine. The world is insane right now and I’m still not sure I’m not still in the coma??

[draconicheracles]

“It’s good to have a love for the outdoors.” He nodded. “Once she’s old enough we should absolutely take her camping and hiking.”

[detectiveastro]

“I couldn’t agree more,” Adrien grinned. “I think she’d like that. As would I.”

[draconicheracles]

He smiled a bit. “I’m glad I’ve found myself a family that loves the outdoors as much as I do.”

[detectiveastro]

“Well, I may have more time on my hands now. I haven’t been on a good hike in several years.”

Adrien blush slightly at Demarcus’ designation of family. He could hardly contain his delight. He looked at Rosie, who looked up at the two men with a wide, toothy little grin.

[draconicheracles]

Demarcus looked back down at Rosie and took a seat next to her in the grass. “Are you enjoying yourself, Rositsa?”

[detectiveastro]

Rosie nodded her head, still smiling. “Yes,” her little voice stated matter-of-factly. She hadn’t been speaking for very long, but she had already picked up a few words. With that being said, she plopped herself down the grass to pluck some of the blades beside her.

[draconicheracles]

He picked a larger, wide piece of grass and pulled his mask below his chin. “Watch this.” He placed the blade between his thumbs, put it to his lips, and blew. It made a whistling sound.

[detectiveastro]

Rosie looked up and grinned her little baby-toothy smile at the sound. She giggled in amusement, then put the wad of grass she had collected to her mouth in imitation, though no sound was produced.

[detectiveastro]

I’m holding on to you

I’ll never let go

I need you with me as I enter the shadows

[pridefulsuggestion]

keep your head up. keep your shoulders broad. don’t look back.

[pridefulsuggestion]

i’ve done more than i think i’ve done.

[detectiveastro]

Working on an idea I had. Hoping to write it up soon.

Stay tuned I guess.
