“Don’t give up on something you can’t go a day without thinking about.”

When the life you thought you’d live is not the life you know, and all that the world had to give was just a giant show,

looking back at mountains crossed, and finding they were hills, that everything you gave or lost was worth its weight in pills,

it’s time to sink into the ground and feel the dirt surround, from in our chambers all around, not a sight, not a sound can be found.
