Adage

By D.T.L.F. @ INSEAD

Now I know,
That I can’t make you stay.
But where’s your heart?
But where’s your heart?
But where’s your,

And I know.
There’s nothing I can say.
To change that part.
To change that part.
To change.

So many,
Bright lights they cast a shadow,
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding,
I’m incomplete?
A life that’s so demanding,
I get so weak.
A love that’s so demanding,
I can’t speak.

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Tell me if you stay I’ll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

Can you see?
My eyes are shining bright,
‘Cause I’m out here, on the other side,
Of a jet black hotel mirror,
And I’m so weak.
Is it hard understanding?
I’m incomplete.
A love that’s so demanding,
I get weak.

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Tell me if you stay I’ll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Tell me if you stay I’ll be forgiven,

Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

These bright lights have always blinded me.
These bright lights have always blinded me.

I say.

I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I’d never speak,
Awake, and unafraid.
Asleep, or dead.

‘Cause I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I’d never speak,
Awake, and unafraid.
Asleep, or dead.

‘Cause I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I’d never speak,
Awake, and unafraid.
Asleep, or dead.

‘Cause I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I’d never speak,
Awake, and unafraid.

Asleep, or dead…

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Tell me if you stay I’ll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I’ll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I’ll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

“Famous Last Words” – My Chemical Romance

——

Are you one of those people who always wonder how you can get the old aphorisms to apply to your life?

“Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”

“A rolling stone gathers no moss.”

“Out of sight, out of mind.”

I am.

Yet none of them ever work. All that seems to bring me forward is putting one foot in front of the other. One monotonous, trudging step at a time.

Ever have one of those nights when nothing goes right, and when you turn to the people you thought you could count on, you find only facades in their stead?

T-minus 36 hours until P4. This break has been nothing like I thought it would be. My mind has been on a giant roller coaster since Monday, and I have no idea what tomorrow is going to bring, let alone tomorrow-and-a-half. Absolutely no idea. Yet I s’pose I’m happier, at this particular moment in the space-time continuum. I’m thinking less, and that’s good. But I wonder…

Back to the Old Way, I suppose. Back to the perfectly correlated substitutes. Back to the Walk. Back to The Path.

“Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.”

Smile!
