“They just sat back laughing at the wounded city. Each breath sucking in ashes and fumes. Oh it bled all right; drier than Moore county. All expatriate flames hurrying to found new nations of blinding dust. But the two of them, they just squinted at that pipe-cleaner skyline, and it burned hotter in their oil slick pupils. One elbowed the other and said ‘I’ve seen better.’ Knowing that they were paid to remember the past - he blew out a hot breath and said ‘burn it all’.”

Summertime Sadness

Kiss me hard before you go 
Summertime sadness 
I just wanted you to know 
That baby you're the best 
Got my red dress on tonight 
Drop it like it's hot in the pale moonlight 
Got my hair up real big beauty queen style 
Highheels off, I'm feeling alive 

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air 
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like your stare 
Honey I'm on fire I feel it everywhere 
Nothing scares me anymore 

Kiss me hard before you go 
Summertime sadness 
I just wanted you to know 
That baby you're the best 

I've got that summertime, summertime sadness 
Got that summertime, summertime sadness 
Got that summertime, summertime sadness 
Oh, oh 

I'm feelin' electric tonight 
Cruising down the coast goin' 'bout 99 
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side 
Oh if I go, I'll die happy tonight 

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air 
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like your stare 
Honey, I'm on fire I feel it everywhere 
Nothing scares me anymore 

Kiss me hard before you go 
Summertime sadness 
I just wanted you to know 
That baby you're the best 

I've got that summertime, summertime sadness 
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness 
Got that summertime, summertime sadness 
Oh, oh 

I think I'll miss you forever 
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning skies 
Late is better than never 
Even if I'm gone I'm gonna drive, drive 

I've got that summertime, summertime sadness 
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness 
Got that summertime, summertime sadness 
Oh, oh 

Kiss me hard before you go 
Summer time sadness 
I just wanted you to know 
That baby you're the best 

I've got that summertime, summertime sadness 
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness 
Got that summertime, summertime sadness 
Oh, oh

“There’s a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself. I go home at night and just watch a movie or hang out with my dog. I have to exert myself and really say, oh God, I’ve got to see my friends ‘cause I’m too content being by myself.” -Drew Barrymore

Far From Never.

I know I fucked up this time
Just give me one more try
I know you've made up your mind
So leave me here behind you

And all the things you said
Made it harder to breathe
When I was lying on the floor
I couldn't believe you wouldn't save me
But you blame me

You cried, the fire just died
It's gone forever
And the chance to live our lives
It's gone forever
And where we stand tonight
It's where we stand tonight
So far from never

I know I messed with your mind
And wasted all your precious time
The more I try, the more I find that

All the things you've said
Made it harder to breathe
When I was lying on the floor
I couldn't believe you wouldn't save me
But you blame me

You cried, the fire just died
It's gone forever
And the chance to live our lives
It's gone forever
And where we stand tonight
It's where we stand tonight
So far from never

No one will never let you down
No one will never let you down
No one will never let you down
No one will never let you down

'Cause the fire just died
It's gone forever
And the chance to live our lives
It's gone forever
And where we stand tonight
It's where we stand tonight
So far from never
So far from never

You said you'd never let me down
You said you'd never let me down

I don’t blame you for being you, but you can’t blame me for hating it.

I hope one day
somebody loves you
so much

that they see violets
in the bags under your eyes,
sunsets in the downward arch
of your lips

that they recognize you
as something green,
something fresh and still growing
even if sometimes
you are growing sideways

that they do not waste their time
trying to fix you.

Heart In A Cage

Well I don't feel better
When I'm fucking around
And I don't write better
When I'm stuck in the ground
So don't teach me a lesson
Cause I've already learned
Yeah the sun will be shining
And my children will burn

Oh the heart beats in its cage

I don't want what you want
I don't feel what you feel
See I'm stuck in a city
But I belong in a field

Yeah we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left

Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone

Oh the heart beats in its cage

All our friends, they're laughing at us
All of those you loved you mistrust
Help me I'm just not quite myself
Look around there's no one else left
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around

Oh he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left
 I'm sorry you were thinking; I would steal your fire.
The heart beats in its cage
Yes the heart beats in its cage
Alright

And the heart beats in its cage

Attention Reader.

I'm nothing, I'm nothing

Got here, and now I'm gone
So many days fly by
You haunt me the times I shut my eyes
Choke softly from the poetry
It doesn't sound as true
When you still wear her scent

I never thought you would've 
thrown something back,
ripping apart my heart.
(I see you only at night)

Won't look back,
Wretched night.

I pray for peace of mind
I beg for a brand new life
I plead for a second chance 
And the ability to shut my eyes at night

I pray for peace of mind
I beg for a brand new life
I plead for a second chance 
And the ability to shut my eyes at night

Angels die and memories fade
I'll live to see, the day that you break

I never thought you would've 
thrown something back,
ripping apart my heart.
I see you only at night.

My heart fades
My heart fades

A true friend stabs you in the front
A true friend stabs you in the front
A true friend stabs you in the front
A true friend stabs you in the fuck of

I pray for peace of mind
I beg for a brand new life
I pray for a second chance
And the strength
To burn this mother fucker down

I pray for peace of mind. 
I beg for a brand new life. 
I plead for a second chance. 
And the ability to shut my eyes at night.
