He told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be mine~
(grew to live in fear of bruno stuttering or stumbling)
he told me that my power would grow like the grape that thrives on the vine I'm fine
(i associate him with the sound of falling sand ch ch ch its a heavy lift with a gift so humbling always left Abuala and the family fumbling grapling with prophecies they couldn't under stand do you understand)
He told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be mine and I'm fine and im fine and im fine im fine
He told me that the man of my dreams would be just out of reach betrothed to another another and im fine and im fine and im fine im fine
HE'S HERE
(Why did I talk about Bruno?)
Not a word about Bruno!
I never should've brought up Bruno!
YAY!!!! nice job everyone :)
👏👏👏
lmao that's so fun to read
honestly, i'm not surprised that this happened
Your user name makes this 1000% better
let's do anotehr!
(Um, your eye's doing the…thing…)
i'm the strong one
i'm not nervous
i'm as tough as teh crust of the earth is
(uh… nervous laugh okay?)
I move mountains
I move churches
And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is
('Course, I mean- Hey where are you going?)
I don’t ask how hard the work is
Got a rough indestructible surface
Diamonds and platinum
I find ‘em, I flatten ‘em
I take what I'm handed
I break what’s demanded but…
…under the surface
i'm as berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus
under the surface
was hercules ever "yo i don't wanna fight cereberus"
under the surface
i'm pretty sure i'm worthless if i can't be of service
A flaw or a crack
The straw in the stack
That breaks the camel's back
What breaks the camel's back it's-
Pressure like a drip, drip drip that'll never stop
Woah
Pressure that'll tip, tip tip till you just go POP!
Woah-oh
Give it to your sister, your sister's older
Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder
Who am I if I can't run with the ba-a-all?
And if I fall to
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip and it won't let go!
Whoa!
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till it's ready to BLOW
whoah-oh-oh
Give it to your sister,
your sister's stronger,
see if she can hang on a little longer!
who am I if i can't carry it all
if I falter
Under the surface
I hide my nerves, and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us
Under the surface
The ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is
Under the surface
I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?
Line up the doninoes
a light wind blows
you try to stop it tumbling but on and on it goes!
But wait. If I could shake the crushing weight
of expectations would that free some room up for joy or relaxation or simple pleasure instead we measure this growing pressure.
keeps groooowing,
keep goooing
cause ALL WE KNOW IS
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt
And see if she can handle every family burden
Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks
No mistakes
Just
pressure like a grip, grip, grip
and it won't let go
Whoah!
Pressure like a tick tick tick
till its ready to BLOW
whoah-oh-oh!
Give it to your sister and never wonder
if the same pressure would have pulled you under!
who am I if I don't have what it takes,
no cracks,
no breaks!
NO MISTAKES
(someone finish strong!)
WE DID IT
ANOTEHR ONE!
I just made something… unexpected
something sharp (gasp)
something NEW
it's not symmetrical or perfect
but it's beautiful
and it's MI-INE
what else can I dooo?
BRING IT IN, BRING IT IN
Good talk! Bring it in, bring it in :)
(What else can I dooooo)
Bring it in, bring it in :)
FREE HUGS, bring it in, bring it in :)
I grow rows and rows of roses
Flor de mayo, by the mile
I make perfect, practiced poses
So much hides behind my smile
What could I do if I just grew what I was feeling in the moment?
What could I do if knew it didn't need to be perfect
It just needed to BE
AND THEY LET ME BE!
A hurricane of jacarandas
Strangling figs, hanging vines
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through
What else can I do?
Can I deliver us
A river of sunde-e-ew?
Careful, it's carnivorous, a little just won't do
I wanna feel the shiver of somethin' ne-e-w
I'm so sick of pretty, I want something TRUE, don't youuuuuuuuuuuuuu?
