a brunette with blue eyes; deadly combination.

took singing lessons, cuz girls like it better than rap, and still possesses feelings for the past

going along the same “puppet” line, jack now says that he’s pulling strings, or making changes, to stay with her

He tries to stay as near to himself as he can, because he has heard that fame can change you, and he doesn’t wanna be another industry puppet

He never exposed his true self. AFter separation, he goes off and has sex with others, but doesn’t feel as emotionally invested in anything anymore. Tries to be a better guy by doing little things like making eggs in the morning

His girl had a lot easier time coping with separation because she believed things happen for a reason, and God has a plan. Jack tried to agree, but didn’t think the same way

Everyone talks down getting high as a coping mechanism, because you have to love yourself in order to truly cope with sorrows

Jack used to climb out to his rooftop, with some weed and his notepad, writing songs and reflecting. Great vice

“you don’t know what you have til it’s gone”. A repeated message in Jack’s songs has been the death of a couple of his close friends and relatives within the same year, and he’ll address that again in verse 2.

Stats have been thrown out that suggest each second a person dies and is born into this world, but it’s hard to look at death as a beautiful part of life when all you see is the physical body being dropped into the ground, and as a Christian, you feel obligated to stay smiling because they’re in this place called “Heaven” you’ve never seen

Earlier this summer, Jack had dealt with failing to get an internship which would have supplied him with very sufficient pay, and instead he saw how people changed in treating him when he ended up back at his low-pay job
