Artists : Rilo Kiley : A Better Son/Daughter

sometimes in the morning i am petrified and can't move awake but cannot oopen my eyes and the weight is crushing down on my lungs i know i can't breathe and hope soemone will help me this time your mother's still calling you insane and high swearing it's different this time and you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her and that god never blessed her insides then you hang up the phone nad feel badly for upsetting things and crawl back into bed to dream of a time when your heart was open wide and you loved thigns just because like the sick and the dying and sometimes when you're on you're really fucking onand your friends they sing along and they love you but hte lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap and it teases you for weeks in its absence but you'll fight and you'll make it through you'll fake it if you have to and you'll show up for work witha smile and you'll be better you'll be smarter more grown up and a better daughter or son and a real good friend and y ou'll be awake you'll be alert you'll be positive though it hurts and you'll laugh and embrace all of your friends and you'll be a real good listener you'll be honest you'll be brave you'll be handsome and you'll be beuatiful you'll be happy your ship may be coming in you're weak but not giving into the cries and the wails of the valley below. your ship may be coming in you're weak but not giving in and you'll fight it you'll go out fighting all of them.
