  • “When I write, I am speaking. I am saying, “I exist. I am alive. I am not dead yet.” When I write, I am neither here nor there, I have vanished into a dead zone, a crawlspace all my own. I am speaking into a long tunnel. Each word I write is a mark, is a weight. I am saying, “I have a voice. It was not smudged out.”

  • “‪I always think about that great Joan Didion line: “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.” It’s true. It’s a human impulse to create narratives, to rationalize and explain things with stories. But each person’s stories are different.”

  • bright lights, loud noises: the 1st

    brightlightsloudnoises:

    it’s the 1st
    and the words I chose to use
    with you over the phone
    were poor—
    sophomoric—
    as some asshole might say

    and ya,
    I know better but
    my impatience gets
    the best of me
    and who the
    hell has time
    for tact anyway,

    who the hell has
    the time
    to drink coffee
    over a magazine
    on a…

    Always fall
    For the bullshit.

    ok i need to go to work

    but, damn kimbra can SING live

    this performance is better than the album version.  the weird little inflection she adds in the chorus just takes it to a new level

    brightlightsloudnoises:

    some days
    were built to
    rip you apart

    sometimes
    if your lifestyle
    lets you
    you can sleep
    through them

    but more often than
    not
    you have to
    take them head on
    sober

    like bowling pins

    as the ball rolls
    towards you
