This Letter

Now I know this letter is right out of the blue

All I ever wanted was to talk to you

In a café, in a moving rented car

Heading to the nearest place that felt like far

Honey, can I call you that in secret print

Words will never hurt you if the motive's clear

All I want for you is joy and peaceful love

Who you get it from is not my main concern

It's like a fountain every time I think of you

Turning on the probes that would encircle you

Though I messed it up, I figured that I might

See you true and clearly in another life

As the rain falls slowly on the sliding roof

I'm inclined to tell you all about the truth

Years of wondering what you were thinking of

I've given into endless days of being a sloth

If I could have the energy to chase the day

I would end up chasing all the good away

Boundless youth is wasted on the fallen kid

Down a tunnel of mistakes, they always fled

Who is there to pick all the bloody mess?

Who is there to mock their heads with tenderness?

No one human, nobody is good enough

To envelope the human heart when life is rough

How can this be done, how can I make it through?

Teenage dreams do never what they're meant to do

Knock a door and listen to the wisdom speak

Leave your knife, your razor, and your make-believe

Though the world is fucked according to the news

Doesn't get you out of what you have to do

Though the world is fucked and swinging to the right

Doesn't get you out of what you have to do tonight
