I’ve made mistake after mistake.” “No empty room becomes full with a flood of light” “All alone in the dead” “She’s all I want, now that I’m on my own.

You gotta keep it together now.” “Just dry your eyes, ‘cause boys don’t cry.” “You feel an emptiness inside, how it sinks into your sould. But it’s nothing you can’t hide.” “Just forget about the hole beneath your skin, that’s swallowing the best of you within” “Keep it all inside ‘cause boys don’t cry” “Not until the fateful day you die”

The Question, The Answer
“Is it all just a beautiful nightmare, am I nothing more” “Will I sink to the bottom of nowhere, or arrive ashore?” “Holding on is a question unanswered, one I can’t ignore” “Show me how it ends, will I still be scared to live” “Show me how it ends for us” “Is it also a beautiful nightmare on the other side” “Will I send my breath to a lost prayer, will it change my mind” “Should I follow a chorus of voices or a gentle voice” “Show me how it ends in the ground or in the clouds” “Is there anywhere? Can she find me there?”
