I’m looking forward To letting go I'm thinking about it again One more time, Let this be the end. Poor choice of words again. I think it's odd that a rope Could set one free Free, what a thought. “A permanent solution To a temporary problem Ending it all will not solve them” But what do they know? Yet as time goes on So too does this Escalate in proportion To my existence. Semicolon; semicolon Finish the sentence. Semicolon. Give me the period. I am anchorless

Hills in the shapes of snakes Making waves, and ways to say “Three points will guide your way! Make a wish, make a wish today…” Wear the green, fear the red Raise your shield or else you’re dead Care for the cap upon your head Now put the king to rest And put the queen to bed Hills in the shapes of snakes Making waves, and ways to say “Three points will guide your way! Make a wish, make a wish today…” You are the Link, you are the one To bring him down I thought once you were just a dream I found you were a memory Dream on, dreamer Fight to the end for me! An end to the dream An end to the dream

Xander: What are we If not living things Different The whole for a piece Or the forest for the trees Don't miss the presence Fractured whole A crack in the mold Filled with gold Kintsukuroi Highlights the flaws of it all Broken; beautiful Find the faults But how can you not We are art Splintered; sparkling Shattered bits make mosaics Unrefined reformed Peregrine: Perilous With vigor and stillness Immortal In a way As Earth always requests Our presence Kinetic To greet the Earth In a Second We are in tow We are seperated, Liberated Carried By a pair of hands Laboring Reformed Once more yet still new Kintsukuroi Iannihilator: With body shattered Yet heart intact Adhesive gold Will align the cracks. A new beginning Not fully understood Will forever blind The entrapping woods. This living canvas Once tossed aside Reborn a masterpiece Never again it hides. Damaged is everything Shining from within For without the initial crack How would the light get in?

“The last one made my knees weak Now I can’t stop from reeling Nor can I stop from thinking, ‘What’s this funny feeling?’”

THE DRUG And I have become so high Nothing else feels like this If I could then I would Every single day Don't you try to bring me down I'm never coming down It's love, lust, and straight bliss Oh my sweet ignorance! Ha ha ha VICE GRIP Don't you know that high comes with a low? You carry around that chip on your shoulder Got a monkey on your back & you're right on track for a relapse. Who's got the cure for what ails you? The vice grip tightens. You say your life is lit but you're all burned out. You're lying to yourself, what's that about? You run your mental script, "Believing" that bullshit you're spewing out. Addiction went and claimed another loved one The vice grip tightens. The window to your soul is all blurry Even though you told me not to worry I’ve seen you wither into someone else. Miss the person I knew I could trust What happened to the life we long discussed? All the hurt and pain won't just go away With an Rx Your once bright eyes now lifeless. I know you'd rather pop a pill than feel I know if life was cards you'd call one hell of a misdeal. I know you'd want to change. Go back to those good days hidden in the photographs. I just wish you could see all of the anguish your actions are causing. And it feels like you're lying your ass off when you say you'll detox. We all know addiction is a bitch to quit. The person we all loved has long since been gone. I can't recognize my old friend, because you're not them.

A drop of water on the back of my hand I think I’ll manage Staring through you, disbelieving I think I’ll manage A sigh held longer, I hope no one understands When I tear this bandage from the sleeve, I believe you My voice cracked twice already Trying to explain this I broke my hands already Trying to tear open your skull and make you think When did you become rattled? Were you never taught to strike when the iron is hot? Trust me, the sparks still burn after a thousand times But tempered steel is made of stronger stuff We’re the losers, I hope you know I think we’ll manage The dead march on, and we will too I think we’ll manage Boiled and perfumed, you left your stew to rot You’d best remember I was always the goose My voice cracked twice already Trying to explain this I broke my hands already Trying to tear open your skull and make you think

Boil me alive I don't think I'll survive My ocean was the sky I'm not ready to die Never a warm hand from you You could have been a friend All your power, where did it get you Well, that's how it is I guess I'm not crying I just want to state the facts I'm not complaining You need to hear this before I collapse There are a thousand things that I could say But words would fail me anyway You'd never listen to me So I've got to run away Never a warm hand from you You could have been a friend All your power, where did it get you Well, that's how it is I guess.

about

Kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), also known as Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), is the Japanese art of mending broken pottery by filling in the cracks with gold.

We believe, as a philosophy, Kintsukuroi recognizes that our histories shape us into who we are. Observe what makes us unique. Celebrate what sets us apart. Embrace the presence of Kintsukuroi.
