Burn (Original Song) - My voice is almost completely gone. I wanted to take advantage of that write an incredibly personal song with a soft vocal presence. xx

And the sin falls out your mouth. 
Raining on the groves of seeds you planted by yourself. 
And you think like no one else, 
the whispers kept in jars upon your shelf. 
The church is still there waiting, the pew is getting cold. 
I imagine I’ll go back there, when it’s too late and I’m old.
Close the curtains keep the sun out, you know just what say. 
Like your mother not your father, your an inch from where she lay.

Burn away. 

It’s better when you’re quiet, and no one heres a sound. 
God help those who make scars, when everyone’s around. 
I wrapped my regret shaking, when I woke up from the ground. 
And the company I trusted thought all their words profound. 
A toe that’s on it’s point, a moment in ballet. 
It’s dirty when the listener, only hears halfway. 
All the efforts I put forward, they turned on me that day. 
It’s me that lit the fire so now we burn away. 

Burn away.

How much does it weigh? That bird that won’t stay. 
How much does it weight? The lie you wrapped up in your mane.

“Strength & Honor,” he answered. He being a good friend, and the question being one of guiding principles. The raw truth of those words rung true to me. So simply and elegantly he stated the thoughts I lost sleep trying to comprehend. Much as I lose sleep over them now. The moment he said those words I realized their perfection. All my life I have desired exactly this: to truly be honorable and strong.

It took me countless years to realize how wrong I’ve had it all along. Strength was and is what I desire, but what is strength? I do not refer to the callous, physical strength of brutes, nor the cold, calculating strength of the intellectual. As enviable as these traits are, they are as nothing to the strength of character. 

It’s a cheesy sounding sentiment, but trust me when I say I don’t mean it like that motivational bullshit. I’ve spent all my life in competition. This is not a bad thing; it’s made me better. Competitiveness is a requisite for advancement, plain and simple. It is impossible to excel in a vacuum. You need to be driven to an end, pushed to your limits. 

But competition tends to get out of hand. When I am jealous of a friend, or worse, glad that he failed, I know I’ve crossed the line. I may “beat” him in a short-term competition, but this is no longer strength. It is just a display of strength. Yet this is what I strove for constantly: to one-up everyone. To seem wittier, to seem smarter, to seem tougher, to seem savvier….

It took me this long to realize the importance of the honor. Not honor in the “don’t cheat” sense. That is just a superficial result of what honor actually is. To pursue strength and not the appearance of it, to desire being deserving over winning at any cost, to chase excellence and not success: that is honor. And that is strength.

The two go hand-in-hand. Only the strong can be honorable, and only by being honorable can you be strong. I would be lying is I claimed to have achieved this goal, but I am now able to see the right direction. 

Ugh, I’m sorry this is so poorly written…I can barely keep my eyes open at this point. I will try to finish these thoughts later.
