I heard this song by (of all bands…) Relient K and it really spoke to me. It wasn’t just an emo song about heartbreak, but about finding strength in what’s to come. I needed to hear that.
It doesn’t get much better than seeing Chris play “The Moon is Down” at an acoustic show.
Not everyone thinks they need to be saved. Some people are perfectly content being lost in the woods. They live on the surface. Never wanting to delve deep enough into anything or anyone for fear they might find something real. Something that scares them. It’s harder to get hurt when you live on the surface. That anxious feeling you get in your chest, the crippling feeling of a broken heart, the sickness you feel in your stomach when your lover says goodbye… you don’t feel those things when you live on the surface. They mask their fear in bars and clubs and empty friction. For all their living… they’ve never really lived.
I’ve made a mess. Turned away good people.
Wasted time and love on people who wouldn’t show it back.
But is that their fault or mine?
I feel like I’m drowning, and there’s no one to blame but me.
This feeling of worthlessness will pass. It always does.
But I’ve grown to know this feeling all too well.
I fear that I’m losing my glow…
