Filanthropy - BUTTERFLY -INTERLUDE-

I don't know how I'm supposed to feel sometimes at night
Going 65 on a scenic drive with you right by my side
I'm feeling right, my thoughts are bright, but then the thought just crossed my mind
What if this feeling, felt inside, is not what you feel in your mind
Reciprocation in our hesitation
Thoughts coming up to my mouth to fall out, but they just stop and stare
I need to stop
And take a step back from this place
I really wish I could talk to my future self
Maybe get some good advice
Ask me how this one had turned out
In all honesty
It would probably go like this
"Hey jon"
"Hey jon"
How are you?
Oh I think you know
I met this wonderful person and think that she might be the one
But those thoughts stay reoccurring, and i don't wanna fall again
Look dude
I know
It'll be okay. Just take it slow
Take her out for lunch and compliment her
But tell me is she really the one that we've been looking for
You tell me, do you think that she's the one
I don't know but I know you know if she's right for us
You think I'll tell you huh
Well please don't keep me waiting
I never really was patient ha
Cmon man, you've lived this thru
You know me better than I know me, or I know you
That is true
But look at it this way
What's the point of me telling you all of our future secrets
Oh please quit it with the poetic bull
Stop
Are you serious
Do you hear yourself
Are you delirious
Maybe I am
Well tone it down a bit
I'll try
What I was saying is that you not knowing helps you grow
It helps you be the person I am
But I don't wanna be broken
I don't wanna feel lost
I don't wanna reach for the bottle whenever I get pushed to the side
I don't wanna feel so hollow
No one knows me
No one cares
Nobody likes to stick around, they just leave whenever times get tough
Damn
I know
I've been there too
I've seen your notes
I've been through everything you've been through
Been hurt more than you can remember, but look right here, I'm glad we stayed
The dark thoughts fade I swear on it
But this right here
I want it to be her
I want us to be perfect, want the doubts to leave us be
I want to take all of the pain experienced and turn it into something good
I want to show them all that I was simply misunderstood
Take a second, take a breath
Okay I'm breathing
I cannot tell you where this path will lead
The thing about it
And I know you know
But the pain that hurts us molds us into something bigger than what we could be without it
But how do I know
Well I'm standing here, am I not
Yes you are so what's your point
We make it
What
You mean
Yes
We make it
There is no way
Tour starts on Thursday
I don't know what to say
Let me give you a piece of advice
Okay
Every step away from what you know is a step towards better things
The negatives that are building up
Don't give up or fall prey to the pain
Restrain it contain it
It's a beautiful tool in which all can relate
But I just want to let it out
No one seems to see my struggle
I know
Now listen closely
What comes into our life can be used for building or tearing down
Experiences are building blocks that we take and build bridges with
What goes from us will strengthen us and give us better character
Every single little thing has meaning, don't ever forget that phrase
I'll try my best
It's my time to go, I know our time was short
Keep pushing on, don't fantasize the past
Move on from old mistakes and work to be a better man
Just know the man upstairs is looking down, holding you so tight
I'll need a reminder for when things get tough
Look at my chest
We finally got it
Yes
Mom finally let haha
A butterfly to signify that change that always happens
From suffering to beautiful, the trials always worth it
Don't doubt the process when you're in it
Just know soon you'll look back and see the past
See how far you've come
You broke thru the chains
You made it okay
For now it's time that we part ways
Until we meet again
I'll try my best to see the light past the tree line
But recently it's been dark
Dark like the nighttime
