Risk

She deserves to be safe, protected, whole.
I'll find a way, to make her deserve me;
she's just confused, living in a mess, a lie
I'll find a way, to save her life
She can't talk, too anxious
I'll know what to say to take her higher
Leaving you was the best thing I ever did
and I'll find a way, to save her for life
I'll taste, taste the progress
of sweet agony, for you I will
You pretend I never wanted anyone else
Killer curves and ruby red lips
Hey, this heart's never felt more empty
hey, this ache's never gone away
So I gave you, everything
and fell for her instead
She can't talk, too nervous
just kiss, back to the darkness
I'll know what I've been looking for
when I'm lying next to it
You pretend it's me, I pretend it's her
Slip a laugh, you'll never scare me away
Embrace, and fall in love again
Torn between the devil and the little angel
these hands, can't come clean.

Advice for your Farewell

Live, eat and breathe change.
Be that inspiration that drives more change
The best we can hope for is to die changing the world.
Do whatever you have to do.
Follow your heart, but never your eyes. Dumb is forever, but beauty dies.
You're the spark that ignited the biggest fire I've ever seen.
Fires burn but they always fade, and eventually all turn into ash.
Inspire people to be better at being themselves.
Whatever you do, do it well.
Just make sure you remember to call home, and never forget where you came from.
When you fall in love, don't forget why.
Close the curtains on hate, prejudice and regret.
Never fail at being yourself.
Never let anyone tell you how to do your job.
Your job is to live, and then to die.
We all grow and perfect, then we fade away as fast as we started.
Out there, someone's always going to be better than you. Live with it.
It never ceases to be true that the world will keep turning without you.
But for someone, in some moment, you'll be that person’s world.
You'll keep turning, and the world will keep following.
Even though you have a bad memory, I'm sure the important things stick.
Stick to just the important things, and you'll lose sight of what's true to your heart.
Only love and you'll forget what's rational, what's important.
Love is never rational.
Rationality is overrated, sometimes love is the only answer.
When it’s all over you’ll still have to clean up.
When it’s all cleaned up, you’ll forget what happened.
When you remember what happened, it’s too late to repair what’s broken.
When you go breaking things, the world starts to fall apart.
When the world falls apart, it’s all over.
The circle of life is incessant, neverending and ridiculous.
It doesn’t save time for heartbreak and love.
Just for a moment the mundane and pointlessness will go away, and you’ll feel safe.
There are worse things you can do to the people you love than kill them.
