it's dangerous to be numb
to let auto-pilot kick on
always gotta have something to say,
even if its nothing
be content with your nothing
shout out nothing with everything you have

you're not just another mouth of lipstick vogue... you're not just love... you're death, a real murderer... i succumb to you... i shut it all down... i put to rest what could've been a brilliant career... a part of me wants to part ways at some point

raw bark in the water of the marble shrine

fight fight fight.... don't give up... this is what you were here for. fight. breathe. fight some more. this is a war. life asks you to succeed, and not succumb. people limit you from your success. no person in particular prevents you, rather than life itself, serving its own needs, as it always should. you fit into its needs if you can just do what you're gonna do. which isn't too hard, actually... if you take it one moment at a time. you'll find the appealing opportunity lying before you. you'll reach out and grab it. life sets it all up for you. you just have to partake.

will i partake? you betcha. i'm done with not serving myself. and i feel proud to acknowledge this. the journey is too fun and winding to dole out your emotional capacity in such a hopelessly noble way.

then there's the other corner of the room, stepping up in the back of your head. he's ready to say something... he disagrees. duh. you're reminded once more that this kind of writing just isn't appropriate. must get a bs tr a ct. must
lose
you. i
must sin

in every variation, there is opportunity for

anything

he felt once the world was entering its final phase; he could almost feel the fires of doom. he eventually got comfortable and sang and danced. but for this moment, years later, he glimpsed something grossly familiar... the end, and peoplewerereducedtobeast.nomoreforthislife

i am your speaker. i speak for the living and the dead. i am everyone. i have them all. i contain your essence. i'm open and willing, and i'm in touch. billions and billions of screeching ghosts soaring through my mind... howling at me to save them. the world cries for salvation. will you do nothing?

lipstick vogue


elvis costello's first two records have been, for the last year or so, a recurring dream... something i can't escape. his words are plastered on everyone and everything i see. his melodies have been dancing around in my head before i ever heard them. i... am... exhilarated... every time. its that much fun. no joke

no effin joke
