would it kill you to breathe?

Thick as Thieves -- Dashboard Confessional

Would it kill you to breathe?
Easy only 17 miles lay between you and me
I could make it if I had to
I don't break easily
You've got my counsel, thick as thieves
If there's a crime we'll keep it secret
For there's only trace amounts left in your blood
You may be a sinner
But you may be justified

Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

Will it kill me to breathe
Not as easy as you think it is between you and me
I could fake it if I have to
I don't break easily
I need your counsel, thick as thieves
I have no crime to keep a secret
It was hers, it was not mine
Well I may be a sinner
But it wasn't me this time

Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

Listen to yourself
There is a hemorrhage in your mouth
It won't stop bleeding
Well you may be the traitor
I will hold the smoking gun
You'll get away clean
I'll keep your secrets til the grave has swallowed me
And I will never tell a tortured soul they are burning by my side
That I am a sinner
I am a savior
I am a lie

So keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

After experiences from last night and this morning/afternoon, I've been thinking about it.

The watchword today is Responsibility.

Well. I must say that I have never been very responsible. I have always been a slacker, a stoner, someone who couldn't give two hoots about anything in particular.

Maybe it's just me. Well, if I wanted to change, to succeed in anything particular, I think I'd have to take more responsibility in what I do, what I say, and basically do my part. I admit that I have hardly ever done my part to the fullest, putting in all my effort. I have always gone for the "I think this is passable so I shall submit it point of view."

Laziness has always been a part of me. Maybe it's time to kick it out of my system. I think I should. I definitely must.

Is it time to be a more responsible person? Is it time for me to finally start doing things to my fullest effort? I think so. Maybe it's time to get started.

And, by the way, I hope you become responsible for the things you do as well.
