OOOOOH I GET TO FORM THE CHORUS

THIRD THING THIRD ALL THE HATE THAT YOU’VE HEARD HAS TURNED YOUR SPIRIT TO A PUN OH WOO-OOO

YOUR SPIRIT FOR OF FUN OH WOO-OOOO

I WAS CHOKING IN TYPE BUILDING MY RAIN UP IN THE CLOUD

FALLING LIKE BROKEN MAGNETS TO THE GROUND

HOPING MY WRITING, IT WOULD DROWN ME (XDD)

BUT IT NEVER DID, EVER LIVED, EBBING AND FLOWING

INHIMITED, LIMITED ‘TILL IT BROKE OPEN AND RAINED DOWN, IT RAINED DOWN LIKE…uh, pain…actually, plot pain…

YOU MADE ME A, MADE ME A WRITER, A WRITER
PAIN
YOU BREAK ME DOWN, YOU BUILD ME UP, WRITER, A WRITER
PAIN!
OH LET THE WORDS FLY, OH LET THEM RAIN
MY LIFE, MY LOVE, MY DRIVE, IT CAME FROM…
PAIN!
YOU MADE ME A, YOU MADE ME A WRITER, A WRITER

LAST THINGS LAST
BY THE GRACE OF THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES
YOU’RE THE FACE OF AN AUTHOR, THE WORDS IN YOUR VEINS, OH OOOH
THE WORDS IN YOUR VEINS, OH OOOOH
BUT THEY NEVER DID, EVER LIVED, EBBING AND FLOWING
INHIBITED, LIMITED
TILL IT BROKE OPEN AND IT RAINED DOWN
IT RAINED DOWN, LIKE…

MORE PLOT PAIN

The fact that I had to change 2 words and it explains writing PERFECTLY concerns me… I’m starting to rethink the meaning of this song. Perhaps it’s original purpose was to brainwash us into thinking it’s about something else when it’s actually about the few joys and pain and heartache and more pain of writing

I just read outloud this beautiful Imagine Dragon’s poetry we enacted to my sister and she was like “I am done with you! ” Me: “NO BUT I DID IT WITH TWO OTHER PEOPLE  ” My sister: “THAT’S EVEN WORSE!!!!” SHE THINKS YOU’RE CORRUPTING ME WITH BAD JOKES!!!!

That sounds *exactly* like a conversation I would have with my mom.
