    Distance was born when the sea and the sky grew apart,
    Loneliness was born the day I let you go.
    All of Winston's lyrics are absolutely amazing,but Blue and the Grey is simply a lyrical masterpiece.

Safest arms of love , the hands 🙌 that have grazed album 💿 covers of just his hands one in which the candle 🕯 he holds is me still. This little light of mine …. Eventually you start feeling the things that make you feel good 👍…. Those Peter Pan, Christmas 🎄 morning when you actually have presents 🎁 and a tree 🌲. Pine 🌲 my least favorite! Oak trees 🌳 that’s what this weeping willow has been waiting for. The hands 🙌 I can feel safe in those hands 🙌 are home. Makes me giggle 🤭.

    can't say he has a smartest lyric, but dealing with the feeling of loneliness and depression his lyrics for Alone really resonated with me, " Shifting light outlines my battered form.
    Stranger to the world, alone in my abandonment.
    A gaining army of white horses, stark warning before the icy front.
    The deceiving calm betrays all signs of impeding change." These lines perfectly reflected how alone I felt and dealing with suicidal thoughts. Everything felt cold and dark and my suicide just felt like something creeping in. Even though to everyone I looked fine, I almost killed myself and barely survived. Thankfully I survived and have a much stronger and positive outlook on life but I will never forget how much that song meant to me.

      @parkwayfan84 5 лет назад

      That's how I felt last week. I emotionally hit rock bottom. Pretending to be fine. Telling everyone I'm fine, just so they won't feel my pain, bc I didn't want them to know how I was feeling. I still struggle with it but trying to think more positive. Listening to Winstons lyrics makes me now try to help myself get over that. Ik the pain is still there but Its "either I could just die and not do anything about it and let the fear take over" or "die knowing I tried to overcome my fear and lonliness replacing it with more positive effort"

    I'm gutted he avoided delving into actual lyrics he's written.. I image he's maybe embarrassed to actually say them out loud as it's such a personal thing but I'd love to know what he believes are his best. Ire is far from my favourite PWD album but I do think it features some of his best -
    Be my deathless song..... fill my aching lungs. Breathe your life into me, because I drown in your shadow like salt in the rain. If my fear is tomorrow, your memory’s the fight in my veins.
    SO beautiful. He's very good at what he does.

    Stephen King (arguably one of the greatest writers in history) said a similar thing about his writing process:
    "I never write ideas down right away, if I have an idea I'll keep it to myself, and if I still remember it weeks, months, or even years later, then I know it's gold, and that's when I'll write it down." or something along those lines.
