lyrics

tonight,
leave a message on your mirror, saying “I love you.” When you wake up in the morning, write “I love you more.” When it is today, write “I love you as much as I possibly can.” for when you know the truth, you become a love letter, slowly opening its self, so hold this inside of you, that your body is a temple, with so many words scrawled across its insides, that you are the loudest thing known to man, you are an orchestra, made of bones, a Ferris wheel made up of songs, you light entire cities up, the electricity, and the copper in your blood wired so much so wisely,
while you sleep, your mind simultaneously creates and perceives images,
you have the ability to raise and lower your own body temperature which means that you are in control of how hospitable you are for the sustaination(sustainment) of your living,
your brain has grown so much that it began to fold in on itself just to fit inside of your skull,
you are so intricately constructed, made up of dust the same as stars, there are lists of likeness’, your eyes filled with so much brightness collected over some thousands of years,
growing inside of you, there is a tree of light, know that you are not covered in blemishes, but in beauty marks, every crevice of you meant to be, be you, and want nothing of others’ because if you were to have been them, then you would have, but you have not been being what that is, you are being what you are, and you are the reason that the shades move in the morning, you are the warm home of someone who has only known cold people, your wooden skeleton needn’t be forsaken and left shaking on any other foundations than that the solidity of rock, such as the fact that Someone loves you,
Someone loves you so much that They sent Their only Son to die for you,
your blood has the ability to keep peace, every hug you hug has the ability to pull guns and cigarettes out of people’s mouths,
every time you love you are loved and you should love yourself for the love that you are,
for what you have been given and for what you have the ability to give, there will be riot shields and knives into your rib cage and yet you will still kiss,
you will die and yet you still have the ability to live, you can change the world by slow dancing with tanks, possibly more important, you can change someone’s life by slow dancing with nervousness and sweaty hands. The anxiety, it comes from fear, and you are afraid of all of the wrong things.
The darkness goes away when you awake, and open your eyes. Maybe you have screwed up, but you are still alive which means that there is still time to grow,
maybe you have found fault in your skin, but we both know that flesh is shallow,
we’ve learnt that from razors and bike rides, maybe someone has said something so misleading to you that you fell far from the right path,
but understand that we are not to live by the thoughts of man, but by the words of God, and from His mouth you have become the transpiration of the utmost installation of unconditional love, more interwovenly and carefully designed down to every specificity fathomable,
you are more beautiful, as yourself,
than anyone could have ever imagined.
