Embracing Light in Shadows: Town Destroyer's Semicolon Message
Lyrics
Cater to my cadence
Seeking to match my rhythm
Stumbling around
Feeling disoriented, unsure
A local drunk dwelling on his past
Describing oneself as someone lost in alcohol-fueled reflections on past mistakes
Where can I rest my head?
Where can I find peace or respite?
Paper thin
Fragile, easily torn or destroyed
Is there a way to cease this loss of blood
Can I stop this emotional pain and vulnerability?
I am the virus that hinders your vessel from coagulation
Comparing oneself to an obstacle preventing healing or progress
Let me make my bed where I lie
Allow me to settle where I am comfortable, even if it's in a negative situation
Let me find solace in a starry night
Let me find comfort in the beauty of the night sky
Acceptance not for myself but to realize that I have placed myself here
Realizing that my current situation is self-imposed
Will you still want me around if I continue down this beaten path
Questioning if others will accept me if I continue on this destructive path
To the troubled minds that have left behind
Dedicated to those troubled souls who have departed
I promise that there is a place left for us to exist
Assuring that there's still room for us to coexist, despite the struggles
I will stand with you
Ready to support and stand by others
If you learn to stand for yourself
Encouraging others to develop self-reliance and self-advocacy
I promise despite the process
Promising commitment despite the difficulties
This breath is worth the risk
Asserting that continuing to live is worthwhile despite risks
Blinded by rage and bound in depression
Being consumed by anger and trapped in a state of depression
I learned how to abandon this marriage between a blade and my wrist
Learning to stop the harmful behavior of self-harm
Broken
Feeling emotionally shattered or fractured
Dismissed
Feeling disregarded or ignored
I learn how to stand alone and find a light that helped me say out loud
Finding strength in independence and discovering guidance toward healing
That there is a place left for us to exist
Reiterating that there's still a place where we can find belonging despite difficulties
