Water.
Jaded.
Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt.
“As we melt let’s make no noise
oh the profanation of our love
to tell the world our passing joys!
And we, besides, care less to miss
our eyes and lips and hands.”
(but honey, I’m not who you think I am!)
“And so you’ll be to me
who must obliquely run
“thy firmness makes my circle just,
and makes me end where I begun”
There’s nothing wrong
as I’ll be somewhere singing all along.”
(no! tell me, where have you gone, my love.)
Oh fuck, just reading my sent messages now.
tehehe
Why the fuck did we spend all of last night talking french?
I dont even...

“But you packed up your clothes in that bag every night
And I would try to grab your ankles (what a pitiful sight)
But after over a year, I stopped trying to stop you
From stomping out that door
Coming back like you always do”
Listen
Million Dead - I Am The Party
“Take out your manifestos and then put them away
I implore you to ignore every word I say
And if my status as a figure on a stage implies authority,
I hope my caution and my age belies my humility,
and will to take my rage and try to turn myself into a one-man landslide.”

I exhale my smoke towards the rotating fan
Liz wakes from her dream then squeezes my hand
She says “Good morning.”
“Good morning, you look so precious just dreaming of me!”
She blinked and laughed me off
She says “Boy if you knew I wasn’t dreaming of you, then you are dreaming of me.”
o by the by
has anybody seen
little you-i
who stood on a green
hill and threw
his wish at blue
with a swoop and a dart
out flew his wish
(it dived like a fish
but it climbed like a dream)
throbbing like a heart
singing like a flame
blue took it my
far beyond far
and high beyond high
bluer took it your
but bluest took it our
away beyond where
what a wonderful thing
is the end of a string
(murmurs little you-i
as the hill becomes nil)
and will somebody tell
me why people let go

p.s. Just lurked your Lastfm page to see if you listen to the Damnwells and didn't see them - check 'em out! If you like Margot & TNSAS, I'm sure you'll like The Damnwells too.
I’ve not heard of them, but thank you so much, i’ll listen to them the moment i get back to uni! Thanks so much, love getting any recommendations!
That was my attempt at Avenged Sevenfold's "Warmness on the Soul." It's pretty off though because I did it by ear lol
OMG A MARGOT FAN! Stoked that you recognized that quotation, I love them! The live recording of "Long Gone" is sooo so sad, he sounds so hurt and broken - it's his "voice [that] cracks like a piano." I've been listening to it on repeat. Heartbreak.
...But back to your question about Lastfm, lol. I registered for an account forever ago, but never got around to using it, sadly.
Well you’re a very talented pianist! Ahhh i can’t find that live video you’re talking about? :( care to send me a link please?!
and you should definitely get your last.fm going again!
Oh, you're far too kind. I'd say our blogs are on par in awesomeness (yeah, not a word).
Re: grammar post: much thanks, I'll keep 'em coming :)
Hahah! If you’re okay with demeaning your blog like that, then okay :)
Love them haha, please do keep them coming! What was that piano piece you recorded yourself playing by the way? That was awesome! And you just quoted Margot, amazing. Got a last.fm?
Flattered that you're following me - your blog's incredible!
Ahh thanks very much! Flattered that you’re following me as well, yours is infinitely better! Your post about grammar was wonderful haha :)
