Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Never caught my breath.
Every second I’m without you I’m a mess.
Ever know each other,
Trust these words are stones,
Why cuts aren’t healing.
Learning how to love.
I’m melting..
I’m melting.
In your eyes,
I lost my place.
Could stay a while,
And I’m melting,
In your eyes.
Like my first time,
That I caught fire.
Just stay with me,
Lay with me,
Stay with me lay with me now.
You could stay, and watch me fall,
And of course I’ll ask for help.
Just stay with me now.
Take my hand,
We could take our heads off,
Stay in bed just make love that’s all.
Just stay with me now.
The cup is not half empty as pessimists say.
As far as he’s sees, nothing’s left in the cup.
A whole cup full of nothing for him to indulge,
Since the voice of ambition has long since been shut up.
A singer, a writer, he’s not dreaming now of going nowhere.
He gave heed to nothing, and all that he was….
Is just a tragedy.
So he voyages in circles,
Succeeds getting nowhere,
And submits to the substance,
That first got him there.
Then in violent, frustration, he cries out to God or just no one,
Is there a point to this madness and all that he was….
Is just a tragedy.
He feels alone,
His heart in his hand.
He’s alone,
He feels alone.
I feel….
Then on that last day he breaks,
And he stood tall.
And he yelled… and he takes his life.
See all those people on the ground,
Wasting time.
I try to hold it all inside,
But just for tonight.
The top of the world,
Sitting here wishing.
The things I’ve become,
That something is missing.
Maybe I…
But what do I know
And now it seems that I have found,
Nothing at all.
I want to hear your voice out loud,
Slow it down, slow it down.
Without it all,
I’m choking on nothing.
It’s clear in my head,
And I’m screaming for something.
Knowing nothing is better than knowing it all.
On my own,
On my own,
On my own,
On my own,
On my own,
On my own.
Without it all,
I’m choking on nothing.
It’s clear in my head,
And I’m screaming for something.
Knowing nothing is better than knowing it all..
On my own,
On my own,
On my own,
On my own.

I came onto the music scene kind of late. My dad sheltered me from a lot of everything, and I didn’t really get to start exploring music until the end of eighth/start of ninth grade really. That’s when I found fuse, and got to actually watch it for a few hours a day while my dad was at work. And when they actually had non stop music coverage and stuff too.
I also could have picked any SOAD album. Me and my group of friends like, absolutely adored the shit out of them back in the day. And I still really do love them, but not as much as back then. Toxicity is just my go to for them I think because of the years I spent starting, and ending, my days with it. I pretty much played it so much that I’ve bought like 5 copies of it. Because yes, there was a time when we used CD players, and stuff, instead of mp3 players and torrents. Also, I’m sure that there are a few albums that I’m forgetting, but I’ve just forgotten some stuff throughout time/moving away and branching out into my own music, getting influenced by a different town, etc.
Ignore my favorite bands for long periods of time, and then go on benders listening to one of them for months, while still ignoring the other bands without meaning to, and then hating myself for not listening to said ‘other bands’ more often, and continue to repeat the cycle over and over and over and over and over again.
Current phase is Anberlin.

My worries weigh the world, how I used to be,
And everything, I’m cold, seems a plague in me.
And it’s hard to say how I feel today,
For years gone by, and I cried…It’s hard to say that I was wrong,
It’s hard to say I miss you,
Since you’ve been gone it’s not the same.It’s hard to say I held my tongue; It’s hard to say, if only,
Since you’ve been gone I’m not the same….The Used - It’s Hard To Say
Should’ve done something, but I’ve done it enough.
By the way, my hands were shaking.
Rather waste some time with you.
