can’t wait to go here with you….

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

So this is the end of the storyEverything we had, everything we didIs buried in dustAnd this dust is all that’s left of usBut only a few ever worriedThough the signs were clear, they had no ideaYou just get used to living in fearOr give upWhen you can’t even picture your futureWe walk the plank with our eyes wide open…Some people offered up answersWe made out like we heard, but they were only wordsThey didn’t add upTo a change in the way we were livingAnd the saddest thing-Is all of it could have been avoidedBut it was like to stop consuming is to stop being humanAnd why would I make a change if you won’tWe’re all in the same boat, staying afloatFor the momentAnd we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we..Walk the plank with our eyes wide openWith our eyes wide open we…Walk the plank, we walk the plankAnd that was the end of the story

So this is the end of the story
Everything we had, everything we did
Is buried in dust
And this dust is all that’s left of us

But only a few ever worried
Though the signs were clear, they had no idea
You just get used to living in fear
Or give up
When you can’t even picture your future

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open…

Some people offered up answers
We made out like we heard, but they were only words
They didn’t add up
To a change in the way we were living

And the saddest thing-
Is all of it could have been avoided
But it was like to stop consuming is to stop being human
And why would I make a change if you won’t
We’re all in the same boat, staying afloat
For the moment

And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we..
Walk the plank with our eyes wide open

With our eyes wide open we…
Walk the plank, we walk the plank

And that was the end of the story

And I’m in so deep. You know I’m such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger

It’s time to throw away your doubt,
Throw away your blues.
Wake up in the morning,
Tear up the news.
Go on slap yourself,
It’s been too long,
Put on that motown record,
Stop thinking you’re wrong.

You keep worrying about yourself,
Yeah, you keep worrying about yourself.
Oh it leads to nowhere else

But I’m thinking of what Sarah said.

That Love is watching,

Someone die…

So who’s going to watch you die?

“I roll the window down
And then begin to breathe in
The darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

“do they collide?” 
I ask and you smile.
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn’t matter.

When you feel embarrassed then i’ll be your pride
When you need directions then i’ll be the guide
For all time. 
For all time.”

And the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row

I need you so much closer.
