Lyrical Lessons

August 12, 2014 § 2 Comments

Lately I, every time I try to lie down
Well, my mind just gets away
I can’t even close my eyes now
Between the big fish and ambition
And the lovers using words as ammunition
Between the warped planks I’ve been pacing endless
Impossible dream that I’ve been chasing. 
 
Oh God, why’ve you been
Hanging out in that old violin?
While I’ve been waiting for you
To pull me through.

“Violin” by Amos Lee

My writing has been stuck for quite a bit now. Feels like the words are being held captive somewhere between my ideas and insecurities. Waiting for the dam to break, I suppose.

    oh hey girl – i found this through your instagram and i have to admit, i have a thing for creepin on people’s blogs.. before john and i really became friends a million yrs ago, i had been on his xanga and hit ‘more entries’ an embarrassing number of times before it occurred to me that he might have one of those tracker sites that told you who read your shit. and of course he did.

    anyways, thought i’d say hi in case you have one too. 🙂 it’s good stuff!

    hope you guys are enjoying florida!
