You are in love.” ~ You Are In Love

• “God rest my soul. I miss who I used to be, the tomb won’t close. Stained glass windows in my mind, I regret you all the time. Can’t let this go, I fight with you in my sleep. The wound won’t close. I keep on waiting for a sign, I regret you all the time. If clarity’s in death, then why won’t this die? Years of tearing down our banners you and I. Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts, give me back my girlhood it was mine first.” ~ Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve

And it was real enough to get me through.” (while overlayed with Bon Ivet singing: “Can’t not think of all the cost, and the things that will be lost. Oh, can we just get a pause? To be certain we’ll be tall again. Whether weather be the frost, or the violence of the dog days. I’m on waves out being tossed, is there a line that I could just go cross?”) ~ evermore
