If anything describes how I’ve been feeling lately, it’s this.

Were you told as a child how cruel the whole world can be?
Did anybody ever tell you that?
Tell me what your purpose is; who it was that put you here and why?
Did anybody really put you here at all? 


And what of those necessities, like how to cope with tragedy and pain?
Did anybody ever show you how?
When it hits will my heart burst or break or grow strong?
Is there really only one way to know now?



I’m not sure if I’m ready yet to find out the hard way how strong I am, what I’m made of. 
I’m not sure if I’m ready yet to walk through the fire. 
I’m not sure I can handle it. 

Tell your stories to me. Show your bruises.
Let’s see what humanity is capable of handling.
Tell me what your worst fears are. I bet they look a lot like mine. 
Tell me what you think about when you can’t fall asleep at night. 
Tell me that you’re struggling.
Tell me that you’re scared. No, tell me that you’re terrified of life.

Tell me that it’s difficult to not think of death sometimes.

Tell me how you lost everything.

Everyone in the world comes at some point to suffering.
I wonder when I will, I wonder.
Everyone is out searching for someone or something.

I wonder what I’ll find, I wonder.

Just sit down and let it be, if only today, if only for me
That day, what exactly were you selling, preach?
It’s misery, these screaming dreams, you see we all gotta get so broken eventually
And most shouldn’t strut around with such confidence
Because most of the time, your feet are the same whether he’s there or not
And most of the time, my feet were the same whether you were here or not

And I take it hard, I take it to heart, and it tears me apart
And I get so tired in that 3 o’clock sun
It grows right on time, right in front o f me

I’ve seen some days and in some ways I’m always in and out of living in the now
But it sheds years when you still smell the cedar
Explain to me 

I wish I could find God’s teeth to grit them for him
I’d cut off his ears, put them to my heart, he’d hear me break
I’d make it obvious to see
Show him a face like water frozen over, A face that’s absorbed everything
Show him it was the wrong day, Show him that I’ve seen my reach

Explain to me,
Just sit down and let it be, if only today, if only for me
I’ve tried to forget what was said after the fact
I’m talking to my own soul
I bottle these potent thoughts
I’m not obtuse anymore
I’m not talking to anyone
I’m not a door anymore

Explain to me,
Honestly, I don’t know if I’d believe if you walked right on time
Right in front of me
