"I’m just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive kills the things you love
Fear’s a powerful thing
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It’ll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust"

brick by ben folds (live)

“six am, day after christmas. i throw some clothes on in the dark. the smell of cold, car seat is freezing. the world is sleeping i am, numb.”

this is one of the only songs i feel is justified in being one of an artist’s most popular.

i am so excited to see him with the oklahoma city philharmonic thursday night, oh my goodness. and sidenote, one of my favorite smells is cold. i hate the feeling of it, but the smell for me is up against coffee and dnky men’s be delicious. mmm.

"
I woke up, and wished that I was dead
with an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you’d gone
and let the world spin madly on

and everything that I said I’d do,
like make the world brand new
and take the time for you,
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
and the world spins madly on

I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
the whole world is moving and I’m standing still
"

"Cursed with a love that you can’t express, it’s not for a fuck or a kiss. Rather give the world away, than wake up lonely. Everywhere in every way, I see you with me."

"I ain’t never been so alone and I’ve never felt so cold
And I swear that I want love more than I want gold
I’d trade it all for one more story with you
Or one more kiss with her, one more year innocent
And there was a time not so long ago
When I knew I had the world
Well I held it close, close enough to let me go
It made me tired, I’ve seen too much."
