To say that you are cute would be like saying a strawberry is sweet,
Because a strawberry has secret flavors that are sharp, and tart, and red, and deep,
And I would love to find you growing wild out by the woods.
I would make a basket with the front of my t-shirt and take home as many of you as I could.
And to say that you are pretty would be like saying that the ocean is blue,
‘Cause the ocean is full of all kinds of colors,
And I see all kinds of things when I look at you.
And I want to explore you with my tenni shoes off,
Standing ankle deep in a tide pool,
With my khaki pants rolled up,
And to say that you are funny would be like saying that the night sky is black,
‘Cause the night sky is filled with stars and comets and planets that no one has seen yet.
And I want to look at you,
Lying down on my front lawn,
I’ll try to take you all in at once,
But you just go on and on and on.Perfect.
If you’re so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight?
And if you’re so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you’re so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you’re so very good looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight?

Tegan and Sara - Dark Come Soon
Dark, you can’t come soon enough for me
Saved, from one more day of misery
Everything I love
Get back for me now
Everyone I love
I need you now
Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine by Modest Mouse
You can be ashamed
or be so proud of what you’ve done
but not no one, not now, not ever or anyoneTake ‘em all for the sense of happiness
that comes from hurting deep down inside
Andrew Jackson Jihad - Self Esteem
This place is taking all my self-esteem
And everybody is afraid of me
And I can’t make eye contact with anyone I see
This place is taking all my self-esteem
And everybody is afraid of me
And I’m afraid to go out in the streets
Reminders of my failures everywhere that I will be
Everybody is afraid of me
And people freak me out
People make me scared
People make me so damn self-aware
La Dispute - The Last Lost Continent
And I still hear my friend say,
“You know, you wouldn’t believe the things I saw when I was stationed overseas.”
But he somehow keeps smiling in spite all of that,
While I keep finding ways to push the good out for the bad
Oh, how selfish of myself to always say that it was more than I could take,
Like it was pain I couldn’t shake,
Like it could break me with it’s fingers, throw my body in the lake,
And I would slowly sink away
But the truth is it was sorrow that I made and wouldn’t face.
See, I keep falling for the future after tripping on the past.
And I am always tearing sutures out to make the anguish last like it defines me.
Or reminds me I’ve found comfort in my suffering
And uncertainty in happiness and death,
Because what’s next is such a mystery to me
and I am terrified of all the things I feel but cannot see.

are you ten years ago // tegan and sara
You collapse -
the pressure of this life is so you can’t be held accountable -
if you go, you go. If you go, you go.
When you act like this,
when you get so sick of yourself
the whole world falls away and since
I feel like I have only missed the feeling that I’m here again,
the feeling that I’m clear again; I’m not taken.
