Let it all fall off of you.. let them all fall away, each and every one...

Look at me.. and listen, really listen, and let my words fill your open heart and feel the truth in them.

 

I want you to breathe...

Breathe deep, look out your window at the vastness of this world,

and then..

let them ALL...fall away.

 

It's just you, you and your bright and shinning future, replete with love and authenticity.

Excitement and promise are all laid out in front of you, ready for your complete and unwavering attention, ready for all of your love and energy, ready to be taken in your hands, ready to be walked and explored by your beautiful mind.

 

So Fuck'em all.

 

They can't touch you, they don't hold a candle to you.

 

Smile, and breathe and move forward.

 

Your life is waiting for you.

 "Shake It Out"

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

Our love is questioned, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

 

And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh whoa, oh whoa...

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah
