Are you interested in films, by any chance? I like really old films. You can really see what the world looked like, thirty, fifty, a hundred years ago. You know the clothes, the telephones, the trains, the way people smoked cigarettes, the little details of life. The best films are like dreams you’re never sure you’ve really had. I have this image in my head of a room full of sand. And a bird flies towards me, and dips its wing into the sand. And I honestly have no idea whether this image came from a dream, or a film. Sometimes I like it in films when people just sit there, not saying anything.

my all time favourite moment in workaholics. 

(if you get the reference you are the cats pyjamas)

Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? 

Have you ever confused a dream with life?
Or stolen something when you have the cash?
Have you ever been blue?
Or thought your train moving while sitting still?

this is how i feel. 

this is how i feel. 

“ I want a soul mate who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don’t already know, and make me laugh. I don’t care what you look like, just turn me on. And if you can do that, I will follow you on bloody stumps through the snow. I will nibble your mukluks with my own teeth. I will do your windows. I will care about your feelings. Just have something in there. ”

it’s a real shame i cannot swim.

song: alas i cannot swim

artist: laura marling

There’s a house across the river, but alas. I cannot swim
And a garden of such beauty that the flowers seem to grin
There’s a house across the river, but alas, I cannot swim
I’ll live my life regretting that I never jumped in

There’s a boy across the river with short black curly hair
He wants to be my lover and I want to be his peer
There’s a boy across the river but alas, I cannot swim
And I never will get to put my arms around him

There’s a life across the river that was meant for me
Instead I live my life in constant misery
There’s a life across the river but I do not see
Why I should please those that will never be pleased

Battles - Atlas - All Tomorrows Parties Documentary

such a great music festival documentary. 

its all gonna break.
when i was a kid, you fucked me in the ass
but i took my pen to paper and i passed
you know i love the shit cause the shit it tastes so good
i got pastures waiting in the woods
its all gonna break
treat me like a sign, sounds like so/oh well
i know times like these are the hell
and when you do the tricks, the tricks look so good
i got buried rumors waiting in the woods
and they try to climb awake
and call me over
skies they rape and skies are sober
minds they fake and minds rolled over
it’s good, it’s good, it’s good

i know that your dying
i know it’s true
i know theirs seven thousand things you rather be and rather do,
and i know that you fuck what you love
and you love what you fuck.

i’ll keep them out girl, i’ll keep it true
i’ll do anything inside the skin of you
cause i know that the sound of your heart
is a god i can trust
like a man 
not a boy
i don’t love i just fight with the violence in ourselves
its all gonna break
and you all want the lovely music to save your lives
and you all want the lovely music to save your lives
keep it coming
their is no lie to save your life
keep it coming
this is the lie to save your life
why are you always fucking ghosts
why are you always fucking ghosts
why
it’s been such a long
life that we trust
your heart is a whore
and love is just lust.
you want what you can’t
and you can’t cause of fear
we’ve got to get
out of here
why are you always
its been and it settles down and fights to love.
its all gonna break.
