If I ever lose my faith

I am sentimental. There. That is the manual.

The music that actually reaches me is the music that opens the inside. Not the playlist that makes me look busy. The one that makes the universe in my chest get louder so I can steal from it and put it on a page.

This song does that. I do not over-explain Sting. I let him do the damage and I sit there like a person who still believes things, which I do, which is embarrassing and also the whole point.

If I ever lose my faith in you. I have said that to songs. I have said that to people. I have said that to a file at 1 a.m. Same sentence. Different mess.
