no promises

[The Wanderer]

gravity
and life
will bring you down

hope
and faith
will lift you up

i don't wanna be
in between

the crush

but that's where i stay
and that's fine with me

i've lived + died
and been reborn

no more promises
i just want to live today

i dont know why, it just does

 

[BabyGrace]

thats what i thought manda. but i dont know.

i seem to be saying that a lot lately

it reminded me of this, Wanderer:

it meant the world to hold a bruising faith
but now it's just a matter of grace

i came back to this one because its been troubling me.

i don't wanna be
in between
the crush
but that's where i stay
and that's fine with me
i've lived + died
and been reborn
no more promises
i just want to live today

it starts with this hope and matter of factness about things then states so definitely what is wanted, yet lets that be over rided just becauseanother path is easier.
maybe im interpreting it the wrong way or taking from it what i think i see and that may not be at all, in essence i guess im struggling with the ideas you brought up here because i find them frightening.
actually more frightening than the alternative, but thats just me.

Yeah. I like it. Extreme simplicity can be a good thing. Throw all the wordiness and other claptrap out the window. There's a time when all that other stuff doesn't fit.

or a high, hurtin' wail

I'd be all together
I'd be totally removed..."

 

[The Wanderer]

hmmm... maybe I have a frightening mind... ?

I don't know, I was trying to be optimistic, I guess it could be interpreted otherwise

something to the effect of "just living for today," that sort of thing, wasn't anything serious that I pondered on, I wrote it in aabout 2 mins on New Year's Day, just because I felt like remembering down the line how I felt that morning

thanks for the comments everyone.

Yeah, I took it to be optimistic, too and was just gonna say it definitely resonates with me...
