so long, other side, now i will be alright

anyway, don't be a stranger

arm's length, shoulders wide, looking for a fight, peace signs, getting by, people, we'll be alright

because you were lied to, does not mean that everything is a lie. do not take the crimes of those who have manipulated us and put them at the feet of the world.

he is half of my soul, as the poets say.

why are you still here? go home.

so clean the house, clear the drawers, mop the floors, stand tall like no one's ever been here before or at all

oh, busyhead, just keep breathing

how to be alone, to be okay with that?

they are watching you fall in love with being alive.

like my heart hurts, like my jaw hurts, like my job hurts, and i'm talking to a wall

just like the oracle before you, you start to drown.

how strange you are to all, how strange to sleep so long...

sometimes the fire you founded don't burn the way you expect..

there’s orange juice in the kitchen, bought for the children it’s yours if you want it, we’re just glad you could visit

i’ve been less than half of myself for more than half my life

— taking care of me.. it's rotten work. — not to me. not if it's you.

but you, i made you to /break/ order. so you, more than anyone else, ought to live to be happy. you'll become happy, for sure.,

you were right. without you, i am nothing. but *because* of you, i am *everything*!

reality will break your heart, survival will not be the hardest part.

you've bled your whole soul into things you can't control in a world you'll never satisfy

— scar, i'm sorry— i'm so sorry! — i'm sorry too.

why are you still here? go home.

for as long as i can remember, i’ve been living.

i do not know this man, i think. he is no one i have seen before. my rage towards him is hot as blood. i will never forgive him.

i hope we're still friends, yeah, i hope you don't mind

who put me in your way to find? what right had you to not let me die?

mom, gravity is folding in. mom, things feel heavy again. mom, i’m sad.

— i don't understand.. — you wouldn't. you're more of a.. listener.

and he holds her close, just to keep the world at bay

i'll tell you a secret, sutes... this feeling that you have now, this doubt... have you ever felt so alive? and doesn't it feel good?

doesn’t leaving me mean a little less if you left my life, but never loved to begin with?

who put me in your way to find? what right had you to not let me die?

— nothing hurts here. it's just quiet. even the fear is gentle here. — this isn't right. this isn't you. — it is, though. i really loved you, you know?

while i'm home i think of other beds, finding comfort in the sheets instead

i’ve been less than half of myself for more than half my life

i am not afraid to keep on living i am not afraid to walk this world alone

— it's the lonely, jon. it's me. — not anymore. — no. not anymore.

it starts up in our bedroom after the war

doesn’t leaving me mean a little less if you left my life, but never loved to begin with?

you were right. without you, i am nothing. but *because* of you, i am *everything*!

just like the oracle before you, you start to drown.

i want to meet you in every place i ever loved. listen to me. i am your echo. i would rather break the world than lose you.

— nothing hurts here. it's just quiet. even the fear is gentle here. — this isn't right. this isn't you. — it is, though. i really loved you, you know?

i hope we're still friends, yeah, i hope you don't mind

i don't know if i'm saying this right, but i think i love you.

to know me, is to hate me, is to hate what i’ve become

...we need to make the most of the time we have — to live our lives the way we wanna live. every minute... every moment, matters.

we have been on our way to save us since before the lights of our world were first lit. pretty cool, my darling paramour.

i do not know this man, i think. he is no one i have seen before. my rage towards him is hot as blood. i will never forgive him.
