When you forget what it feels like to be with someone, then it's easy to be alone.

Comforting Sounds
Birdy


I don't feel alright
In spite of these comforting sounds you make
I don't feel alright
Because you make promises that you break

Into your house
Why don't we share our solitude?
Nothing is pure anymore but solitude

It's hard to make sense
Feels as if I'm sensing you through a lens
If someone else comes
I'll just sit here listening to the drums

Previously I never called it solitude
And probably you know all the dirty shows I've put on
Blunted and exhausted like anyone
Honestly I tried to avoid it
Honestly

Back when we were kids
We would always know when to stop
And now all the good kids are messing up
Nobody has gained or accomplished anything

The New Year

3 min read
Just letting everyone know what's been up. Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've just been working a bunch and spending time with family and friends.

Got most of my Christmas gifts bought, and purchased way too many cards on Etsy.

Anyhow, talk to you all next year :aww:

Death Cab for Cutie

The New Year


So this is the new year.
and I don't feel any different
The clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance

So this is the new year
and I have no resolutions
for self-assigned penance,
for problems with easy solutions

So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once,
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one

I wish the world was flat like the old days,
then I could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that can hold us back

So this is the new year

These Days

3 min read


Started my new job this week and I feel great! :strong:

:heart: Favorite song this week :aww:


:huggle:
Mates of State

These Days


I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days...
These days I seem to think a lot
about the things that I forgot to do
and all the times I've had the chance to

I stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days
These days...
These days I seem to think about
how all the changes came about my way
and I wonder if I'll see another hide-away

I had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days
These days...
And if I seem to be afraid
to live the life that I have made in song...
It's just that I've been losing so long

Then I'd stop my dreaming
I don't do too much scheming these days
These days...
These days I sit on corner stones
and count the time in quarter tones to ten...

Please, don't confront me with my failures
'Cause I have not forgotten them.

LIGHTS

Lions!


Give me a disaster, give me emergency,
Stand me at the head of the crusades without a remedy.
Show me to the shipwreck, show me how your bones shake,
And when I'm at the edge of sorrow's blade, show me how a heart breaks.

Be steady on your feet
No matter the trouble you meet

Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid

Find me at the bottom looking at the vultures.
Standing in the heart of the disease, following the hard curves.
I'm looking for the thunder, I'm looking for the blackness.
I'm learning how to get up off my knees and all it takes is practice.

Be ready on your feet
No matter what trouble you meet

Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid

I'm not the hunter, I'm not the marked
Just looking for wisdom in the dark

What I've Been Listening to Lately...


Kinda feeling blah right now :ashamed:

This is my favorite song at the moment.

:invisible:
Zee Avi (Originally by Morrissey)

First of the Gang to Die


You have never been in love,
Til you've seen the stars
reflect in the reservoirs.

And you have never been in love,
Until you've seen the dawn rise
behind the home for the blind.

We are the pretty, petty thieves,
And you're standing on our streets...

Where Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time,
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.
Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time,
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.

You have never been in love,
Until you've seen the sunlight thrown
over smashed human bones.

We are the pretty, petty thieves,
And you're standing on our street...

Where Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time,
the first of the gang to die. Such a silly boy.
Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and a bullet in his gullet,
and the first lost lad to go under the sod.

And he stole from the rich and the poor
and the not-very-rich and the very poor
and he stole all hearts away.
He stole all hearts away.
