[crash&burn]

By Six-Out

my voice is hoarse- so pardon me if I whisper my urgency
tasting the lips of such a forbidden lover. I never wanted this again

it's just so easy to run away/ it's just so easy to not care
when the only way is up- and the comedown hurts so much
I never wanted this again. but I'd never give it up
I'd never care- if I could

there's a broken picture on the nightstand. a shattered image
fractured just enough- to hide the lines of fault
luminous enough/ to tell me that it's all alright- everything is alright
every.thing. is fucking [ok] in a cold set of eyes
and nothing is ever right.
nobody could care- and I couldn't give a damn
if only

apathy would be welcome- in liquid form. and denial still blinds me
and it would be so easy to just _run.away. /to not care
to never look back. I can go back on a word or two. it never hurt anyone
[but me]

and it would be so easy to watch the world die- through those cold eyes again
to kill tomorrow.

-
I never wanted this. again

my arms ache and my eyes are bloodshot- is this really life.
is this how it always goes- you fight- and fight
to end up back where you began/ to end up dead. with a fake smile upon your face
punctuated by periods of peace- often. far too short

an empty ashtray and a broken heart- with smoke filling the room
it's so easy to run away. it's so easy to not care- far too easy
and I don't want this again

the fall is what kills you- and the nights are always too long
I'd die again- just to make [this]

go.away

I really like the repetion. Again and again, "an empty ashtray and a broken heart." That really is life, if you think on the utopia long enough.

I felt this rip into my heart, the emotion just bled through every written word. This in a way kind of inspired me, I can relate. Thank you.

the pain seeps out of every word , hopeful but hopeless... beautiful, very emotive piece, that I can relate to. .
A former member wrote: Yeah…Yeah…beautifully and heartbreakingly true. The 2nd stanza is all too familiar. And the 7th stanza is something I’ve asked one too many times. This was worded perfectly.
A former member wrote: It’s so very weird how life is one big fucking circle and we seem to be stuck in choosing heartache time and again. Nothing ever seems to last. And happiness seems so much like a fantasy.

Jon, my friend... every plane, given enough flights, will crash and burn... but it takes a survivor to fly again... you'll be alright. We both will, eh? ;)
