Even if I think that you are right well I'm tired of being down I got no fight

Move

Put one foot in front of the other

That's all you need to do.

You don't need to save the world
You only need to save yourself

Get up
Get out of the bed
And put both feet on the floor

There doesn't have to be a reason
To keep breathing
Just breathe in and breathe out

And eventually you'll have made it through another day

Seems impossible now
But the same opportunity came yesterday and it will come again tomorrow.

The hardest part
Is agreeing to try
Is believing that its worth the effort
And that it's not over 
Yet

You are here
And there is nothing you can do about that

Who's there that makes you so afraid you're shaking to the bone

She has this look
On her face
Like she's proud or something
You know
Like she thinks she accomplished something big

And I like
Hate it
You know
I hate everything

Because she's moved her post its
A million times before
It doesn't mean anything
It's not done

It never is

It just continues
Today
Tomorrow
Forever

It just doesn't end
The dysfunction is so deep
That I pray
Someday
I'll drown

There is no
Easy way out
I suppose
I'd prefer to dive back in
To the devil that I know

It doesn't matter
Who you are in this world
Eventually
You won't exist
At all

At least there is some relief
In that

And we caught onto something I held on to the night

He sighs
In his sleep

It wakes me
Just enough
To notice
The reflection of the street light 
On the floor

It never really gets dark
At night
In the city

Some nights it comforting
And 
Some nights it's irritating

He sighs in his sleep
And I press my forehead into
The space between his shoulder blades

I can't sleep

In the distance I hear 
The sound of someone's tv
And footsteps from the people upstairs

I'm tired
Of waking up
Before the sun

He sighs in his sleep
And I watch him breathing
In the mirror
Across from our bed

He looks like a stranger 
To me
In the dark
Where we met

Maybe now we're just ghosts
Of who we used to be
To each other

I think

We hold hands
Under the covers
He brushes my hair from my eyes
I sleep better
With my head
In his hand

He sighs when he sleeps
And I let myself fall
Between his breath
Between yesterday and tomorrow

I roll over 
Into the night
And hide

Until morning

Dancin out on 7th street, dancin through the underground

It's been too long
Since I've last seen the stars

In winter
It's too cold
To look up

Lately
I don't feel
Connected
To the universe
To you

I'm like driftwood
Baby

Lost
At
Sea

Lost
In
Space

The space between
You and me

I remember that night
We laid down on the roof
Talking about places we've never been

You never really cared
About my dreams
But neither do I

Dreams
Die

There is no way
To connect the dots
In the sky
Or in life

It doesn't make sense
How the stars turn blue
And the sky turns red

We sit on the edge
Of
Life

You and I

Looking out over
the city streets
Everything has its place
Under the night sky

Even us
We don't belong
Anywhere
But with each other

You and I

The pleasure seekers
Always searching
For the light

Because we keep forgetting
To look up
And see the stars
