But also songs of hope. Realistic hope. Not Pollyanna hope and maybe hope is not even the right word. Anthem is my anthem in life.

I tried for a long time to strive for greatness. For spiritual bliss. Then one day I said fuck it. It's easier to just watch Netflix and not do anything but let the world crumble around you as you wait to die. I'm sad choen has given up too. He always used to give me hope. But it feels good to know I'm not alone. This song is dense. Very denseAaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532323549207564871noreply@blogger.com
