7861 Blackthorne.
They found the body.
Hanging from the ceiling.
Once again staring down at a casket...
Run far away from the casket.
Don't let me go back inside.
Now are you set free?
Now that you left us in your cage.
Once again something apart of my life dies again, and lives again.

What made you decide that the only way is the wrong way?
Was it the thought of failure?
Or was it the girl?
Or was it the drugs that became your friends that night?
Look at you now.
Look what you've done.
I can't promise you a rose garden.

Can you see her?
(This vision with closed eyes)
Watching you
(I'm not ready for this)
Through her eyes
(It's time for the final act)
Can you see?
Do you believe?
Will you save me?
(As the curtains closed)

Now don't ever hear me wrong.
These years have passed me by.
And I'm still wondering why?
Why a man would take his life?
I still love you my friend.
They look at me now.
They know what I've done.
They can't promise me a rose garden.

Can you see her?
(This vision with closed eyes)
Watching you
(I'm not ready for this)
Through her eyes
(It's time for the final act)
Can you see?
Do you believe?
Will you save me?
(As the casket closed)

As you struggle within your noose, what was your last thought?
Just cut your rope...
You could of been saved...
Just cut your rope.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
