xxi Lyrics

Avoidance is like dodging bullets, but doing so for twenty-one years is worse than taking the hit

A shot in the dark can be a shot right to the heart if aimed correctly

Years of torturous mental acrobatics, falling in

And out of love with friends and people that could have been more

Self-discovery can be self-sabotage if the unknown land has been pushed aside for too long

A painful stint of push and pull

A laborious chore of breath, after breath, after breath

A dark room with endless ceilings but the walls close in fast

A hospital bed, a burning body, an unrequited crush, and an awful lifestyle

Things that felt good in the moment but burned me later

Painful endings to joyous stories

Something I'm all too familiar with

A painful start to this beautiful story

It all led me to where I am now

Here

Living

I made it

This is xxi
