Life's about making mistakes and trying to learn from them, most people don't learn from their mistakes the first time they make them, but that's what friends are for. They take your hand and help you think clearly

Falling off the world tonight,
I don’t even wonder what’s right,
I know I shouldn’t do it again,
But that has never stopped me before.
In the night I feel the mask,
Winding down, like a ferris wheel
Taking on what I most fear,
Taking on what I have to deal.
I take one breath,
Hold it deep in my lungs,
Letting it slowly escape my lips
Out you go flame without air,
Out you go for all to share.
