this river is wild - the killers
you better run for the hills before they burn
listen to the sound of the world and watch it turn
i just want to show you what i know
and catch you when the current lets you go
or should i just get along with myself
i never did get along with everybody else
i’ve been trying hard to do what’s right
but you know i could stay here all night
and watch the clouds fall from the sky
i’m sorry, and i’mma let you finish, but my new background is more adorable than any background ever.
ever
“When we look at someone (an angel) from a position of unrequited
love and imagine the pleasures that being in heaven with them might
bring us, we are prone to overlook a significant danger: how soon their
attractions might pale if they began to love us back. We fall in love
because we long to escape from ourselves with someone as ideal as we are
corrupt. But what if such a being were one day to turn around and love us
back? We can only be shocked. How could they be divine as we had
hoped when they have the bad taste to approve of someone like us? If in
order to love, we must believe that the beloved surpasses us in some way,
does not a cruel paradox emerge when we witness this love returned? ‘If
s/he really is so wonderful, how could s/he could love someone like me?’”
-Essays in Love, Alain De Botton (pdf)
bees are all boys
she wears a dress like a song wears a voice
a terrible choice of girl over boy
the boots of a man and the hooves of a horse
incarnate hour, surgical charm
her eyebrows are juiced like the ink of a brush
needles are thin and kept in a tin
time is a wind sweeping everything clean" - needles - grand salvo
