shadows and puppets

"I can still remember when your city smelt exciting,
I still get a whiff of that aroma now and then...
Burglary and fireworks, the skies they were alighting.
Accidents and toffee drops and thinking on the train..

Summertime made promises it knew it couldn’t keep,
the fairytale was climbing up a mountain far too steep.
Colour in the pictures with your royal hands,
now I am craving heartbreak while you’re making your demands...


Oh he was young in the frost,
No regard for the cost of saying his feelings in moments they were felt.
And if he was calm like you...
Locked up inside of your loops then he’d know full well,
that all he had to say was;

all he had to say was goodbye."

- Alex Turner. how do you always know?

alice said it best

Last one. the final hurdle. the end of it all...
the scantron war to end all wars.


and now it's mere days until I can jet over those prairies without a single thought that isn't about sun, snow, sushi, and skiidays.

first stop calgary, then those mountains call me into the tiny wooden paradise that is banff, alberta, canada.

six days might as well be a lifetime.
I literally, cannot wait.

I can't get enough of you, baby.

revertigo

shakedown, you make me break

countless peppermint teas, five hours of much needed napping, and one overdue assignment later; this is university livin.
welcome home jillian?

She & Him, you make my life move.

these monsters of folk have infected my soul,
and I'm takin what I can while I can.
cause my clock is ticking double-time
and this time around,
the explosion won't settle without a fight.
it's now or never, all or nothing.
throw down your dice and take it all.



...on second thought;

{-----} {-------} {--------}

Something always brings me back to you, It never takes too long you hold me without touch, you keep me without chains

I never wanted anything so much
than to drown in your love and not feel your rain

Set me free, leave me be I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity

Here I am and I stand so tall I'm just the way I'm supposed to be
...But you're on to me, and all over me

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need here on the ground

But you're neither friend nor foe, though I can't seem to let you go...

The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me Down Down Down
