I didn’t think finding an amateur level drummer for a band would be this fkn difficult lol

“You are what you come from” is an expression for the fortunate

It’s an expression for the wealthy, and the popular

It’s an expression for the loved, and the found

It’s not an expression for the poor, or the unliked, or the neglected, or the lost

Must we all be what we come from?

The flame doesn’t want your fake sympathy

The flame just wants you to let it be

So why take your time to burn me out, when you’ll only set yourself on fire?

What I could be

If I wasn’t half an hour late

If I could regurgitate the thoughts that I digest

If listening to this song didn’t make me think of him, and her, and them, and what happened, and what never did happen

If my brain led my body and not some faulty version of my heart

If I created based on a steady tempo and not 24 hours of robato

What I could be if I wasn’t half an hour late

What I tell myself is always the same

“Will I take my own personal bait?”

Or just swim away

My heart’s too adamant to disappear

In something that you call “the fears”

But I call it rambling

Why do I feel more confident when I’m all crusty in bathroom lighting with eye bags late at night than I do in good lighting and put together, lol

So for every tear

For every broken gear

I shall carry on

Because time even for me cannot stop

I want to be loved by someone

But to be loved is to be found

And to be found is to be known

Are we all meant to be known?

Or are some of us meant to hide in peculiar places?

Are all of us meant to be loved?

Or are some of us forever lost?

I’m missing the sunshine☀️

In my head, going back home is a frozen clock

Where all of my friends are still in touch

I want to move on and never look back

With dreams of recognition and lust

Yet to me change is a direct attack

Maybe I’m forever 16 wanting to be me now?

Hey, I’m looking for more moots! Preferably late teens and 20s because I’m 20. :)

She looks at me sleep deprived yet wide eyed

I look at her wide awake yet muted and inattentive

Are we on the same page?

I’ve spent years trying to make a sense of myself,

and the things that I’ve been put through

But now is the time to create a life that’s new

No more sabotage, no more worry, no more fear

My denouement is here

I could morn the past, and what could have been

I could stop myself from following through

But I can’t change the past, only what’s anew

No more anger, no more sorrow, no more drear

My denouement is here
