i was listening to some music and this song came up,
so i started drawing. (above) (done by me)
(below)song (not done by me)
"No Lies, Just Love" - Bright Eyes, from the album " Don't Be Frightened Of Turning The Page"
It was in the march of the winter I turned 17
that I bought those pills
I thought I would need
and I wrote a letter to my family
said it's not your fault
and you've been good to me
just lately I've been feeling
like I don't belong
like the ground is not mine to walk upon
and I've heard that music
echo through the house
where my grandmother drank
by herself
and I sat watching a flower
as it was withering
I was embarrassed by it's honesty
so I'd prefer to be remembered as a smiling face
not this fucking wreck
that's taken it's place
so please forgive what I have done
no you can't stay mad at the setting sun
cause we all get tired I mean eventually
and there's nothing left to do but sleep
but spring came bearing sunlight
those persuasive rays
so I gave myself a few more days
my salvation it came, quite suddenly
when Justin spoke very plainly
he said "Of course it's your decision,
but just so you know,
if you decide to leave,
soon I will follow"
I wrote this for a baby
who has yet to be born
my brother's first child
I hope that womb's not too warm
cause it's cold out here
and it'll be quite a shock
to breathe this air
to discover loss
so I'd like to make some changes
before you arrive
so when your new eyes meet mine
they won't see no lies
just love.
just love.
I will be pure,
No, no, I know I will be pure.
Like snow- like gold-
like snow- like gold--
i love bright eyes. thanks for all the music :)
ReplyDeletehaha and from last post, when i was awake for a long time, the first thing that totally caught me off guard was it looked like these flashing lights framed my bookshelf and were moving in a circle, it was so funny. and then at the moment i was crocheting, and when i was snipping the yarn and pulling it apart, the yard turned alive and was starting to cry because i was pulling it away from its family.
and then i saw a girl sitting on my sisters bed with her mouth really wide open and her hands against her face like she was pretending to be a fish or something.
twas very entertaining.
yeah Bright Eyes is pretty great. They're one of the only Indie bands that I listen to. I love how he sings, it just sounds really natural (sometimes I feel lots of indie bands sound the same, or bands in general, and that they try way to hard to be something they are not) and his lyrics are amazing.
ReplyDeletehaha, dang that sounds more scary than funny. a little girl sitting on the bed next to me, the ground beneath me crying...
ok I might try it this week, just wondering how long did the hallucinations last?
haha it seems like it would be scary but really i was just more like "[insert reaction] waitt this doesn't make sense...."
ReplyDeleteit didn't last very long, i would guess like ten minutes? but my understanding of time was probably really skewed at the moment so that could be totally wrong.
and then i just went back to being a zombie
