about

Tusk by Paper Plains from debut album Anaestalgia
Dedicated to the memory of Carli Marie Rustand

lyrics

Now I know, because I’ve grown, that there are those – more unwilling than unable to let go (but, admittedly, it’s not an easy thing for anybody). And, as we age, time accelerates and each new day begs for fresh memories to be made, but we must hold onto those that shaped us into who we’ve become.

It’s far too easy to care way too much for the unimportant things and far too difficult to care enough for the little things that hold our worlds up, or appreciate the things we’ve got for what they’re really worth when they’re right here, in our ignorant comfort of believing they’re untouchable. We lie in wait, so susceptible.

You cannot know what it is to feel the weight of loss until you've let yourself truly and unconditionally love. I've cried so many tears that I thought I had none left, but I saved some I knew I'd need for the years ahead. So make haste; time is of the essence. In each moment of hesitation we allow slipping seconds to bleed and erect barriers between ourselves and our dreams.

In life's throes, we do our best not to break before we bend. And with the weight of the world on my shoulders, with each day growing a little bit colder, with my eyes being blinded by the sun, the darkness is closing the gap as I run.

Our hearts will break a multitude of times, and in a plethora ways, over the course of our lives, regardless of their respective length. They’ll keep on beating, though deformed and bent out of shape.
