[bodytext] => I don’t care, if the air
Freezes up my lungs
I still be here when you come home
And if I told you
That I loved you
Would you kill me just for thinking out loud
I’m holding on to what is dead
All the pictures in my head
I’ve kept them here with the memories
And the voices
That repeat everything you said
Letting go is giving up
Holding on is giving in
Look in the mirror now and see
Where you stand my friend
Can this be the last dance before the fire
That will burn us all away
Every drop will drown me
Every breeze will cut my face
I am so fragile now a ghost to this place
With broken bones from the pressure
I can’t wait to get out
Will you walk right by the corpse on the steps
Not wasting a breath
To see if he’s alright
Letting go is giving up
Holding on is giving in
Look in the mirror now and see
Where you stand my friend
Can this be the last dance before the fire
That will burn us all away
Forever, you will know me
And you will love me in my dreams
Close the book now on this story
That no one reads
Letting go is giving up
Holding on is giving in
Look in the mirror now and see
Where you stand

Aside from having one of the best titles i've ever seen, there is a lot going on here. A lot of resonating images, and some deep metaphors. I enjoyed every word of this haunting piece.
Coincidently, this reminded me a lot of an old video game called "Uninvited." Especially, the corpse by the stairway and the bones crushed by pressure. So, toss in nostalgia as another in a good list of reasons why I like this!
Truly,
-V.S. |

Wow, James. *picking jaw up from the floor* You wont ever really understand what affect your lyrics have on me, but i'd give anything to hear them sang. Put to some awesome music and screaming through my headphones day after day after day. You are a real talent who is true to his heart and I admire that completely. You leave me yearning for more with every beautiful word you write and share. I only wish I could pick your brain more often. You seem to be the only person in a long time who has or even could peak any interest in me at all. Thank you for that. Keep writing, I strive on it. Everyday. Thank you :)
