i got a letter in the mail today




to ___

here are the candles and here is the blazéd
light. what are you waiting for? light it up, light it up.
you told me you wanted a way to fly?
well, here’s how to fall!
they’re really the same thing if you think about it too long…


no. forget all of that.

your wings are on fire and your hands are on fire
your mouth is burning rubber and you're trying and you're trying to make
the world more than just a broken dream,
more than just a vast maze of theories.
you are living in theory. you are living in theory. and i'm asking you
why can't
you just
live?

i'm telling you this:
open your eyes and empty your mind.
make your art the most beautiful crime.
run through the city streets screaming
leave the headlights burning
if only for a moment
make me remember
if only for a moment
make me believe.

the point is to leave a mark
the point is to create
the point is to destroy
the point is to feel alive

now.

life is more than just waking up and going to work every day.

don’t let me down.

from ___

yeah interacting with the world that you live in is pretty much the only way to really live, otherwise you'll just drift through passive life, passing without a trace.
so it's important to do these things:

form good bonds with family and friends
accomplish goals
learn what your innermost wishes are
pursue these wishes

i'll bring home a copy of the Greatness Guide so we can go over this kind of stuff
