i was born of a thought of mine

Listen, just because something burns bright doesn’t mean it’s gonna burn forever. So all these people around you saying, ‘you got so much further to go,’ ‘It’s gonna get worse before it gets better,’ I don’t know. I don’t know if that’s true. 

You know, thanks so much for coming, and on this next part, let’s sing it all together.

I think about his good intentions. My freshly bloodied teeth.
