useless someday dies
Someday you will die, and until you know that, you're useless to me.
single college married
Ever since college, I make friends. They get married. I lose friends.
because-i-can bottom i-can
Because I can't hit bottom, I can't be saved.
artist want signatures
From famous artists to building contractors, we all want to leave our signature. Our lasting effect. Your life after death. We all want to explain ourselves. Nobody wants to be forgotten.
reflection shadow illusion
A shadow of a reflection of an image of an illusion.
christian father hate
What you have to understand, is your father was your model for God. If you're male and you're Christian and living in America, your father is your model for God. And if you never know your father, if your father bails out or dies or is never at home, what do you believe about God? What you end up doing is you spend your life searching for a father and God. What you have to consider is the possibility that God doesn't like you. Could be, God hates us. This is not the worst thing that can happen.
running fall want-you-back
The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly. The farther you run, the more God wants you back.
jobs real believe
The only funny part about Colonial Dunsboro is maybe it's too authentic, but for all the wrong reasons. This whole crowd of losers and nutcases who hide out here because they can't make it in the real world, in real jobs — isn't this why we left England in the first place? To establish our own alternate reality. Weren't the Pilgrims pretty much the crackpots of their time? For sure, instead of just wanting to believe something different about God's love, the losers I work with want to find salvation through compulsive behaviors.
beach stars sky
It's not enough to be numbered with the grains of sand on the beach and the stars in the sky.
love-you
Don't do this. I love you. Don't shut me out.
jobs fighting names
We want you, not your money. As long as you're at fight club, you're not how much money you've got in the bank. You're not your job. You're not your family, and you're not who you tell yourself. You're not your name. You're not your problems. You're not your age. You are not your hopes. You will not be saved. We are all going to die, someday.
way culture invisible-monsters
And if you can find any way out of our culture, then that's a trap too. Just wanting to get out of the trap reinforces the trap.
stupid coffee dirty
Even if you tell yourself "Today I'm going to drink coffee the wrong way ... from a dirty boot." Even that would be right, because you chose to drink coffee from that boot. Because you can do nothing wrong. You are always right. Even when you say, "I'm such an idiot, I'm so wrong..." you're right. You're right about being wrong. You're right even when you're an idiot. No matter how stupid your idea, you're doomed to be right because it's yours.
people can-do
There are worse things you can do to people you love than kill them.
