i think you should write a checklist to document your experience cause i doubt you'll figure it out by the end of the day what is reality? do you believe everything that you see? what you see on TV do you hear what they say? all of this talk of different dimensions and nothing is real i guess it's all fake nothing makes sense anyways anyways anyways anyways anyways anyways do you believe everything that you see? what you see on TV do you hear what they say?

Full House 02:55
I know you’re home, but I’m never there I try so bad. My ice is cracked. This winter I’ll try something new Cant stand this empty house without you This winter I’ll try something new Fire burns better when I burning with you I know it’s hard to do it all Time slips by and snow, it falls This winter I’ll try something new Can’t stand this empty house without you This winter I’ll try something new Fire burns better when I’m burning with you This winter I’ll try something new Burn down this empty house without you This winter I’ll try something new Fire burns better when I’m burning for you Burning for you (x3)

i wasn't trying to be a jerk i just sounded like a jerk i know try to live with myself without being selfless try to live in the moment without repeating my mistakes (i know, i know, i know...) i think i'm doing my best but sometimes, it's not enough we've had this fight before twice in real life and ten times in my head can't changed what i did, just what i'll do why can't i say things right? (i know, i know, i know...) i think i'm doing my best but i couldn't find the words to say i'm sorry.

if things were simple like my sledding hill we'd be cold and dark and wet, full of adventure if nights were as long as my winters dream we could be anything together, so perfectly just you and me if memories fade like my breath in the air, will i pretend to be better? i left my mittens in your glove compartment and now my hands are growing cold, oh no no no snow covered hearts in the meadow, waiting for the sun to turn blue maybe i'll build a snowman, maybe she'll be a woman who's just like you if nights were as long as my winters dream we could be anything that we want to i left my mittens in your glove compartment and now my face is growing long, where do i belong? snow covered hearts in the meadow, waiting for the sun to turn blue maybe i'll build a snowman, maybe she'll be a woman who's just like you maybe i'll just getting old maybe i'm just growing cold to think that i'd be better snow covered hearts in the meadow, waiting for the sun to turn blue maybe i'll build a snowman, maybe she'll be a woman who's just like you (SHE"S JUST LIKE YOU) she'll never be you

Saw A Ghost 02:30
saw a ghost last night hoping we could find comfort in seeing them again they're gone, we just have to accept it and they're not coming back i think it was the greeks that once said "everything good's already dead and if i die it will come alive again" they're gone, we just have to accept it and there not coming back

everybody's living for something never thinking bout tomorrow always living for today always living on borrowed time everybody wants to live forever everybody wants to rule the world everybody's always thinking about tomorrow always living on borrowed time if there's one thing I have learned from this world if there's one thing I have learned don't talk to strangers fall asleep with the lights on leave home with your coat zipped don't fall in love everybody's living for something always thinking bout tomorrow always living for today always living on borrowed time if there's one thing I have learned from this world if there's one thing I have learned don't talk to strangers fall asleep with the lights on leave home with your coat zipped don't fall in love take a lonely walk through park take what is given you take joy in the little things don't be afraid don't talk to strangers fall asleep with the lights on leave home with your coat zipped don't fall in love (DON'T FALL IN LOVE)
