One Forty Six

Seek to understand before being understood.

Do not conform me.

We are what surrounds us. And we pass that on.
And a way of life remains and a way of life changes.

"He tells me to grow up and I tell him
that I'm not gonna pretend that stupid shit
is anything more than stupid shit."

I feel fucked. I'm high and sweaty in a little red dress.
But it was fun. Oh it was fun. But every up has a down.

They say in thinking keep to simple, in conflict be fair. They say don't compare or compete simply be yourself. They say fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill, keep sharpening your knife and it will dull. They say cahse after money and your heart will never unclench. Care about what other people think and you will always be a prisoner.

He had eyes bright enough to burn me.

Forget all those places that you've never really been and all those situations you somehow found yourself in. Let your body sink into me, like your favorite memory, like a line of poetry, or a fucking fit of honesty.

I'll possess you but I don't need you to be another one of my possessions.

With heavy hand and jealous glow,
you touch me so sinful and slow.
We say goodbye but never let go. 

And then everything became an oil painting.
The world was pure art. How could no one see it before?

She's been all sorts of places but she hasn't been anywhere at all.

Mine as usual. [=

You fall in love with someone because of the tilt of his smile, or because he could make you laugh, or in this case, because he made you believe you were the only one who could save him.

Why must conversions always come so late?
Why do people always apologize to corpses?

I am a simple girl with a dangerous mind.

There was a young man in a t-shirt, listening to a rock-n-roll station. He's got breezy hair, a breezy smile. He said, "Love must be my destination."

Sometimes perfection can be perfect hell.

"And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older and see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it's already happened."

"I hate you." And I remember looking in his eyes and speaking my deepest truth. "I hate me, too."

Like I was saying, the look in the eyes of death was intoxicating. Taking in into our lungs, laughing at ourselves where others would probably cry. And more importantly, I'd probably just die. Staring face to face with the deamons and not back down. Takes a constitution that most people just don't have. A life gets soiled with sex, drugs, and rock n roll.

Sorry it's been a while. I have trouble with consistancy. My icons btw. Share them with the world.

We sat together on billboards, watching the liquor slowly disappear, watching the sun dip into the sea, watching the cars race, watching the world crumble.

Internalize everything. Then throw it out.

He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence and it was often difficult to tell which was which.

You're the kind of girl that can take
down a man and lift him up again.

Drugs have tought an entire generation of American kids the metric system.

"He was always high on drugs. I was not a drug man, but in case I wanted to hide from myself for a few days, I knew I could get anything I wanted from him."

I can't fight the dark if you don't give me some light.

And based on your body language and shoddy cursive I've been reading, your style is quite selective, though your mind is rather reckless. Well I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness it.

Because life goes on when it aint so sweet.

I know you don't like grey skies. We know our multiplication tables. You got straight A's while I was writing fairytales. And looking out window seals asking why the sunshine liked my eyes and kissed my cheek when it knew I was in love with the moon. And of course with you. Well I sped it up cause you don't like slow songs. You're more of the literal kind. Yeah, you're more like the ocean's waves. You get closer at the end of the day.

I made these again. Enjoy.

"If God dropped acid, would he see people?"

One day, his name just didn't make me smile anymore.

We'll be jumping through the windows and sneaking down the halls, dancing on the ceiling, dancing on the wall. The last thing I remember before the lights went out, I jumped on the table and I started to shout.

You can't rely on someone to make you feel alive.

I just want to move to Morocco and live with Penny Lane inside a sheepskin coat and eat cotton candy all day and never have to think about anything.

You're bling to your beauty, but beauty sure ain't blind to you. You're intrigues by words, songs, photographs, anything that you can decode. Anything you can tear apart and bind within your mind.

I loved her. She only loved me sometimes.

Some people have a hard time explaining rock 'n' roll. I don't think anyone can really explain rock 'n' roll. Maybe Pete Townshend, but that's okay. Rock 'n' roll is a lifestyle and a way of thinking... and it's not about money and popularity. Although, some money would be nice. But it's a voice that says, "Here I am... and fuck you if you can't understand me." And one of these people is gonna save the world. And that means that rock 'n' roll can save the world... all of us together. And the chicks are great. But what it all comes down to is that thing. The indefinable thing when people catch something in your music.

Every deep thinker is more scared of being understood than misunderstood.

"One day you'll be cool. Look under your bed, it'll set you free."

These were made by yours truly. Please share them. Please comment.

"If I feel physically that the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry."
-Emily Dickinson

I wanted someone to take my hand and lead me home, but that's not the way it works.

We were in a place that was utterly lost.
Its human history could have been written on a finger nail.

Don't let them tell you that there is a right way to fall in love.

"Don't gain the world and lose your soul.
Wisdom is better than silver or gold."

He was always high on drugs. I was not a drug man, but in case I wanted to hide from myself for a few days, I knew I could get anything I wanted from him.

It's time for you to outgrow your insecurities.

We tell ourselves stories in order to live.

We cannot find the cornerstone of our foundation
because everything and nothing are the
cornerstones of our foundation.

It takes life to love life.

So I stood there and drank a cup of coffee
and watched waves wrap into the bay.
