A while ago I decided what I wanted my next tattoo to be. I wanted to get Lifeline on some part of my body because for some reason it popped into my head and I immediately began to draw so much meaning from it. It came out of nowhere. Your lifeline being the thing that keeps you going. It keeps you motivated. It keeps you alive when youre feeling not so alive. It keeps those legs moving and the blood pumping. Fast forward about two months. Last night I listened to The Color Morales new album Hold On Pain Ends Theres a song on it named, Lifeline. Needless to say I was shocked and interested as could be. So I listened through it and found some of the most beautiful lyrics Ive heard. This song is my new inspiration. This song is my new comfort. This song is my Lifeline. Without our ups and downs, Were all just living dead. I put my pulse on paper Because I want out from inside of my head. Dont write yourself off. Say what you think and mean what you say, Unless youre OK living life with a pulse thats flatlining. I guess we only get a chance To write our stories once. We need to look back and say that one time was plenty enough. Are we confusing our heart with our mind? Are they on the same page or did we write one off and push the other behind? Take me anywhere but here, Away from these insecurities I fear. Take me anywhere but here, Just make sure if you are the one that will have me, You know just what youre taking. You know you had a darkness inside, Floor to sky, left to write. It was on the record we made last time. And any writer writes afraid of the next line, To put down on paper the things hes tried to erase in his mind. And I am no longer afraid of mine, A writer that found a reason for the pain inside. A word is dead when its said, some say. I say it just began to live that day. I said it once Ill say it again. Maybe you werent listening. I said it once Ill say it again. To live backwards isnt evil, its rewriting. Take me anywhere but here, Away from these insecurities I fear. Take me anywhere but here, Just make sure if you are the one that will have me, You know just what youre taking. I said it once Ill say it again. I said it once Ill say it again. Are you listening? Are you listening? The best stories are written when theyre spent rewriting
