Elucidate

about

The other songs on this release are depressing. I wanted at least one that was hopeful, and putting it at the end only felt natural. Even in the darkest of moments, there is always a better tomorrow. Sometimes, you just need to "break your wrists" to see it. Get out there, push yourself. Make yourself uncomfortable. Nothing amazing ever happened when someone was comfy.

lyrics

I'm thinking 'bout us
Thinking 'bout who I was
And who you are today

I'm thinking about dusk
Trying to stay up
Waste away

And who would have thought that a man like me
Could fall into such insecurity
From your touch
In your arms every day
Am I free?

The older your heart gets the more you can see
The people who hurt you get harder to reach
They'll take and they'll lie and they'll fake
Not the real thing

Oh, this is my dying wish
Give me your broken soul
Give me your kiss
Oh, you want a heart of gold
Shielding the burning cold
Then what is this?

I'm thinking 'bout trust
Thinking 'bout making off with money from the bank
Oh, I'm thinking 'bout lust
Thinking 'bout giving all my sins up to the saints

And I never thought I'd be in this deep
Your body keeps beckoning
I try to sleep
Wide awake, eyes agape
And the horror starts to bleed

"You cannot have me"
I scream in my head
'Cause the person I hate is not lying in bed
In my mind, doing time
That's where all the problems stem

Oh, this is my dying wish
Give me your broken soul
Give me your kiss
Oh, you want a heart of gold
Shielding the burning cold
Then what is this?

What is this?
I give it my all
Only to fall
Gotta' get up, gotta' get up
Gotta' just keep on moving
Break my wrists
All of this for future kids

Oh, this is my dying wish
Give me your broken soul
Give me your kiss
Oh, you want a heart of gold
Shielding the burning cold
Then what is this?

After all is said and done
Broken hearts become as one
The dusk will neatly turn to dawn
Elucidate
