Fireproof
The Nationalyou’re fireproof
nothing breaks your heart
“You focus on the wrong stuff. It's true, you are terrible at a lot of things, but there are a couple things that nobody else does as well as you do. It drives me bananas that you will -- you will throw yourself away completely because of one or two things that you think about that you think are wrong about you. And that's what breaks my heart ... You gotta ignore those and lean towards the things that make you like yourself. Forget everything else. Fake it. Fake your way upwards.”
—The National’s lead singer Matt Berninger to his brother Tom, in Tom’s documentary “Mistaken for Strangers”Pink Rabbits

It wasn’t like a rain, it was more like a sea
I didn’t ask for this pain, it just came over me
I love a storm, but I don’t love lightning
All the water’s coming up so fast, it’s frightening

I keep feeling smaller and smaller
