Do Yourself A Favor

Begin now.
Were those the first, or last words? The sweat from my brow clearly portrays the effort, the tenacity. I look around.
Crack.
The weary leaves succumb to the weight's extremity, they meet their match. YOUR match. Hm? Your feet? Is that where it begins? Or is this another false hope? Tongues tied, fingers fried. Are you listening? Step one: Obligation. Know your priorities. Understand? Step two: Olives. Make sure you love them, because frankly, I don't. Step three: Cover your mouth, and shut up. Nobody wants to hear your loud, obnoxious, opinion that has a hard time finding the fork in the road. You're poking around at the dead ends and stop signs with war written below. Do yourself a favor, and stare into the spoon you're chewing on. You see it? Look closer. Your insides are ugly. Change it. Well, what are you waiting for?
Begin now.

Owl City Quotes

"Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there."

"To the greenbelt balcony, the wildfires seem so pretty. Ponderosa canopy, I'd never leave if it were up to me. To the ruby redwood tree, and the velvet climbing ivy, painted all mahogany. I'd never leave if it were up to me."

"If love was a beam, you'd be blind in both eyes."

"But drenched in vanilla twilight, I'll sit on the front porch all night, waste deep in thought because when I think of you, I don't feel so alone."

"Please take a long, hard, look through your textbooks, 'cause I'm history. When I strap my helmet on, I'll be long gone, 'cause I've been dying to leave."

"Remember to breathe 'cause it'll take your breath away when the engines cough and you blast off. Ignite the night with a firecracker flash."

"Take it in with your breath against the glass."

"Bird's eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you. Wide eyes will always brighten the blue. Chase your dreams and remember me, sweet bravery. After all these wings will take you up so high, so bid the forest a floor goodbye as you race the wind and take to the sky."

"This picnic will soon depart, Real Life I'm sad to see you go. I'll miss you with all my heart, but I'd rather be alone. 'Cause I couldn't live without sunsets that dazzle in the dusk. So I'll drag the anchor up, but rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust"

"When tiger eyes begin making you blush, and diamonds boast that they can't be crushed, let them go 'cause dreams don't turn to dust."

"Wake me if you're out there."

"I saw a ghost on the stairs, and sheets on the tables and chairs. The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink. Even so, I don't know what to think."

"I've been longing for daisies to push through the floor. And I wish plant life would grow all around me, so I won't feel dead anymore."

"I'll dissolve when the rain pours in, when the nightmares take me. And I will scream with the howling wind, 'cause its a bitter world, and I'd rather dream."

"My shattered hopes collapsed on cold cement, but in the back of the ambulance, I'd never felt so content."

"A high-speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me, and now my vision can render the scene. A blurry image of wreckage and road-side debris, happiness returned to me, through a grave emergency."

"If the green left the grass on the other side, I would make like a tree and leave. But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get wide, who knew the other side could be so green."
