Watching the day turn black
the fireflys glow slowly fades out
People break their backs chasing things that aren't important
-money
-power
-fame
break their backs
break their necks
break their balls
break their hearts
"What do you chase?"
-I chase dreams...and memories chase me
Never fully recovered
-deadman walkin
I spend my days just shakin my head at the world
-and my nites just shakin
Looking in the miror...I see a stranger looking back
-he's tired
-and he's unsure how he got here
I tell him everything will be alright
-tomorrows a new day.

and we share our problems, we don't burden each other. going at things alone, it's what got me so messed up in the first place. a metaphor for you, given to me to help me understand how necessary it is, however hard, to share our "burdens" with one another:
you push at a boulder, trying to get it up a hill to the top. you struggle and pant, your back hurts and basically you're getting nowhere, just gouging out ruts in the dirt with you feet. someone else helps you push the boulder, and it moves a little more easily, spreading the weight of it between you both. and then someone else, and then someone else. and there's less struggle on you, since it's spread between the group. eventually the boulder gets to the top of that damn hill. and just think, had you done it alone, you'd still be at the bottom panting and hurting and feeling like shit. getting nowhere.
remember that! then don't feel bad anymore about talkin to me. i have a phone too.
