"You can take my heart Hold it together as we fall apart Maybe together we can make our mark in the stars we embark And keep us together as the lights go dark"
Another song I am not really familiar with but the lyrics are really beautiful. I know Larry and I both sometimes have a tendency to think we know what is best for the other but sometimes we just have to let it go and trust that they know what is best for themselves.
Tough one tonight. You may recall my story about discovering Chvrches in Asking For A Friend. This was the song that started it all, but that's not the reason it's here tonight.
For someone who has it in their DNA to do nothing but take care of the ones they love, whatever the cost, there is nothing more heartbreaking than being in a place where you are completely powerless.
Of course I'm talking about Shannon's health issues.
This song SCREAMS my reality back into my face. Thankfully, it's almost perfectly balanced at 49% "Man this is fucking depressing" to 51% "Man I'm glad we have each other."
Kind of like one of my all time favorite memes above.
You're going to hop into a golf cart, you're there to have a great time, maybe it's a charity event and you really believe in the cause and you don't know who you're paired with. Low and behold, you get there and it's Robert Smith. So you know you're going to love the round of golf and support your cause, but you also know you're not leaving that cart emotionally the same as when you got in - you will be depressed and more than likely will shed tears.
That's where I am. It's ok to be 49% "Man this is fucking depressing" and as a dude (because that's what you call me - you call me the dude) I do it almost exclusively alone.
But I have to maintain my 51% "Man I'm glad we have each other" and can never let those two stats flip.
I know if the roles were reversed, Shannon would be doing the exact same things I'm doing to support us.
There's a point where you have to step back because you are being more selfish pushing for a treatment, or test or cure when in reality you're only doing it to make yourself feel better.
The one who is fighting the actual battle is so tired, so drained and so ready to make peace with their situation that you have to let go - even as every strand of your DNA is saying not too...
So here's to you, "F" Health Problems!
Death Stranding CHVRCHES
Let's make a toast to the damned Waiting for tomorrow When we're played out by the band Drowning out our sorrows What will become of us now, at the end of time? We'll be fine, you and I
Let's draw a line in the sand Keep it straight and narrow We had it all in our hands We begged and then we borrowed What will become of us all at the end of love? When we've stopped looking up?
You can take my heart And hold it together as we fall apart Maybe together we can make our mark in the stars we embark And keep us together as the lights go dark
Let's tell the truth, just for once Asking for an answer Now that it's all said and done Nothing really matters What will become of us all if we dare to dream? At the end of the scene?
You can take my heart Hold it together as we fall apart Maybe together we can make our mark in the stars we embark And keep us together as the lights go dark
Let's open up to the sky Askin' it for closure 'Least we can say that we tried But it's never really over What will become of us all, at the end of the line? Will we live? Will we die?
You can take my heart Hold it together as we fall apart Maybe together we can make our mark in the stars we embark And keep us together as the lights go dark
You can take my heart Hold it together as we fall apart Maybe together we can make our mark in the stars we embark And keep us together as the lights go dark
