made it out alive.

something isn't right.

something isn't working.

half my fucking life caught somewhere in-between.

is it so much to ask to be offered some protection?

is it so much to ask to be let go by the past?

i want to feel some acceptance.

i want to find somewhere to belong and something to belong to.

still chasing forgiveness for anything i did when i was somewhere in-between.

no longer bulletproof.

the memories are yours.

survival adds up to something: independent, undefeated.

when it feels like the work was for nothing & you're wrecked and in retreat, survival adds up to something.

how reassuring- it could have gone worse.

grateful that you got this far & proud that you behaved no worse.

giving up on hope for a better past.

remember that you got this far.

now i'm old enough to see there's a million different people you will be before you're me.

i did my best.

i know i'm not everything that you had hoped & imagined that i would be, but i did my best.

we need to find some common ground.

between you & me, both of us want peace, ceasefire.

15 year old me, he judges my decisions, he scorns what i've become & the hatred that consumes me starts & ends with him.

i'm a machine & i was built to last.

come on now, let's fix this mess.

we can get better, coz we're not dead yet.

i can't leave you behind, you're always on my mind.

come on now, let's make peace between you & me.

try and get better & don't ever accept less.

draw a line underneath all of this unhappiness.

we're not dead yet.

so what if i called?

when i look back, i can see i was wrong.

what if you're lonely & you know i am too?

at your best, you were magic.

what if i said i'm tryin' to save your love from dyin'.

i watched it begin again.

"I heard today that they have put her in solitary confinement."

"What's the matter with his ears? I don't see nothin' wrong with 'em."

"His disgrace is our own shame."

"So you like to pick on little guys, huh? Well, why don't you pick on me?"

"You're not really afraid of little me, are ya?"

"Too bad ya don't trust me, 'cause I thought...well, you and me, we might get your mother out of the clink."

"Ya know, your ma ain't crazy. She's just broken-hearted."

"Lots of people with big ears are famous."

"Gaining a little weight, aren't you, honey?"

"Take your foot out of my eye."

"I never thought I'd live to see the big top fall."

"Please! Help me save my poor baby!"

"Elephants can't climb trees, can they?"

"Did you ever see an elephant fly?"

"Go ahead. Have your fun. Laugh at him. Kick him, now that he's down. Go on! We don't care!"

"Don't look down. It'll make you dizzy."

"I wish I'd have got his autograph."
