Valentin. 28. Texas. I'm a dude. Doing what I can to get by. Using the tools given to me to do so.

There's nothing that you can do.
The sky is going to crush you.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
With the release of our new record, we put out a 7” alongside it with a B-Side from the album called “3/4”. Until now it was only able to be heard via that 7”, but we wanted to be able to share it with you all. So here it is, hope you enjoy it.
Make Do And Mend - Keep This
Maybe I’m fucking up, but I think that that’s okay, just so long as I’m learning every day.
Believe me when I say
that there will always be cold days,
but the grass is only greener here if you plant it that way.
So you can lock yourself away,
give up, forget, go back to sleep,
or you can realize that there is so much more to life than yesterday.
I don’t need a life preserver to keep my head above the waves,
no matter where the current takes me.
‘Cause I want to find out what it means to walk an even plane
where I don’t need a pacifier to keep my wits about me
Song of the day
St. Anne-Make Do And Mend
I think this year I’ve lost more than I’ve found,
It spun me ‘round and knocked me down and dragged me out.
stand stagger
But I’m coming clean.
And there’s not much room to breathe
between my inconsistencies
and the constant reminder
that I’ve always been this weak.
I don’t believe in anything worth fighting for, worth dying for.
I don’t believe the clouds are hiding much more than a reason to downpour.
So what would you do if you were me? Give up, forget, go back to sleep.
I believe that heaven is like her ocean eyes, deeper than mountains climb.
I believe that hell is like watching her smile knowing she’ll never be mine.
So what would you do if you were me?
Just hide your heart and go back to sleep.
We let the years pass and shatter us like glass.
We let our ships crash against the banks of our regret.
It’s not that I can’t grasp all of the things we let collapse,
I just wonder what’s the sense in looking back
‘Cause I don’t think there’s something I would trade
for the food stamps and the rent we barely make.
So maybe I’m fucking up, but that’s a chance I’m going to take.
I’m just waiting for the rain to clean my slate.
Make Do and Mend - Thanks
End Measured Mile
‘Cause these are the days that are putting wrinkles on my face,
and I’ve been forced to admit that the slightest weight could bury me.
And now the leaves are turning on the trees
and there’s a map between me and what I need.
I don’t know if it needs me, it feels like I’m sinking.
Thanks by Make Do And Mend
Believe me, there’s no harder thing in this life other than believing that happiness is within my arm’s reach and seeing that there is beauty in this world that I have been missing, and I don’t want to miss no more.
