Don't Let Them See You Cry - Manchester Orchestra

Don't let them see you cry
When the dam breaks down and the city is covered in water
Cause I believe we fly
When the moon takes shape and I dose off, on your shoulders

I trust that you see it too

So breathe while you're alive
Let the big band play as you tap leather with your fingers
And I tried to write in style
But the words just come and I write them as soon as I see them

And I trust that you write them too
And I trust that you love me too
“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly,
acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all
I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
- Agatha Christie
"Sometimes the river of black depression rose inside of me all the way to my throat, so I could barely breathe, and was always on the verge of tears. Sometimes it was and is like when you were a child learning to swim and your parent was waiting for you on the other side of the pool. You push forward, half drowning half swimming. suffocated by fear and barely breathing, but when you make it safely into those arms you arrive on the other side with new courage, strength, deeper, fuller breaths and a greater sense of what’s possible."

No one has ever been
on the exact road that you're on
because it is your own, 
and never been traveled before.

I love my friends neither with
my heart nor with my mind.
Just in case heart might stop, Mind can forget.
I love them with my soul.
Soul never stops or forget.
Rumi

"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

Dr. Dog 'The Breeze'

Are you moving much too fast?
And the good times that just don't last
If you're always on the go
Make an angel in the snow and freeze

Do you feel like you're stuck in time?
Forever waiting on that line
If nothing ever moves
Put that needle to the groove and sing

Is it a dream keeping you awake?
Is it the stillness that makes you shake?
 If you need to know for sure
What's on the ocean's floor just sink

Do you like things the way they seem?
Or are you looking behind the scenes?
Well, if you gotta know
What it takes to make it so just believe

Are there dark parts to your mind?
Hidden secrets left behind?
Where no one ever goes
When everybody knows it's alright

Do you get dizzy on the ground?
There must be something going 'round
What blows us here today
It'll blow us all away

The breeze will blow us all away
The breeze will blow us all away
The breeze

During your worst moment, on your worst day,
Remember that time heals all.
Your days will get better. 
I promise.
