Self absorbance is fckn funny
lemme ask you...
"When'd you get so special, hunny?"
THE USED
Everyones so high and mighty...
...i'm just high...
wondering where everyone
got these pedestals from
Hook it up bro----
Can I get one too?
I wanna think I'm better than everyone
just like you
Twisting my mind just
to understand you
probably the dumbest thing
i could possibly do
Unaccept the facts
Wish time would just turn back
Then i wouldnt give a fck bout you
I'd d have my roll dog by my side
he was the ONLY one that was the truth
He didn't wanna be the man,
he just was
First real friend..
actually BROTHER that loved me
Js because
Family from the min we met
Someone I knew I'd never be abe to forget
When I lost him I died a little inside
So thinking you'd actually be down
i feel like a fckng as*hle
hoping that you would still be around
That's the fckng truth
Stop Look Listen
(Based on Isaih 30: 18-21)
Are you going through adversity
Struggling about money, love, family, addiction
The Bible says the Lord may give us the bread of adversity
and the water of affliction
If He really loves us why would he allow this
It seems such a contradiction
Yet Isaiah 30 says , In those times listen carefully with your ears
The voice of your Teacher, “ This is the way, walk in it”
I will show you mercy, do not fear
Throw away your idols and gold plated images
Selfishness, money, prestige, fame
Even if you did nothing wrong
He will heal your pain
God hears your cry and wants to be gracious to you
So stop, look, and listen for your Teacher all your life through
A family addiction
Genes tell the truth
People tell lies
Bathroom secrets
A door slams
Living room tells a TV story
Bookshelf storage dust
Kitchen fast food noise
Lounge silence
Doorbell interruptions
Dog barks
Child screams
Phone vibrates
Trees whistle
Blackbird chirps
Cat sneaks off
Neighbour hoots horn
A car breaks the lull
Moon light shows a face
A cheeky smoke
A midnight snack
Curfew ends
Front door clicks
It clicks again
And again
Whispers
Brushes
Night
Snores
Morning
