new found addiction to sunflower seeds, best ever.


miss them more than i can ever say.

secrets

she wraps a smile round her tired face
sick of his heavy rap
this black betty wants to listen to some spiderbait

and there's sunshine on the window
but it doesn't make her happy like she should be
and he remains her silver lining in this tangled cloud of caps and hoodies
what role does she play?
the lead female
this is no longer his monologue
it's the long lost story of this 'he and she', the lyrics to their forgotten song

built first in single notes, then bars then whole movements as he sang it proud from the rooftops
she kept it hidden with the ripped ticket stubs in a shoebox

opposites attract
until he noticed she didn't know the words
and this flight soon crashed as their wings uncurled

his movement of notes rose and fell off the page in a slow mutiny
their lost symphony transformed into two remote soliloquies

and this queen of hearts is now too bent to play
uncrowned, she's pawned off her kingdom, a hasty tray
but it's better to have held aces and castles and gambled all your stakes

mistakes make jokers of us all
a wrong hand played; it all shuffles and falls

a silver lining somewhere links it all

loose pieces kept together, taken apart
back to solitaire

hearts
she wraps a smile round his tired face
and he around hers
and for a moment
they aren't so tired

i'm evil


i think the kids are in trouble
do not know what all the troubles are for
give them ice for their fevers
you're the only thing i ever want anymore

live on coffee and flowers
try not to worry what the weather will be
i figured out what we're missing
i tell you miserable things after you are asleep

now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
gave us black dreams
leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
everything means everything

it's a hollywood summer
you never believe the shitty thoughts i think
meet our friends out for dinner
when i said what i said i didn't mean anything

we belong in a movie
try to hold it together 'til our friends are gone
we should swim in a fountain
try not to disappoint anyone

now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
gave us black dreams
leave the silver city to all the silver girls
everything means everything

i was afraid i'd eat your brains
'cause i'm evil

i'm a confident liar
had my head in the oven so you'd know where i'll be
i'll try to be more romantic
i want to believe in everything you believe

i was less than amazing
don't know what all the troubles are for
fall asleep in your branches
you're the only thing i ever want anymore

te iubesc

3 hours of sauna/jacuzzi/heated outdoor pool goodness. so tired today, i think it's a good sign that i was suitably relaxed. next time it's going to involve a massage and a facial. excited.
i would really like to dye and cut my hair now, but i think i'll have to wait til i get home, as i have no straightener here. damn.
short fringe? y/n?
