| I will burn the sin of you
from my skin
from my blood
and from my breath I will burn it from my bed | | |
| I feel the need to write - but everytime I try, I am at a complete loss for what to say.
there are so many things on my mind at the moment.
So I'm just going to try to knock them out one by one: I see people loving other people for what they are, for how they make them feel, rather than for who that person really is. They only love part of the person - the part that lifts them up and takes them from the light to the dark.
But that's not the whole person. It's not personal - it's just business. And it breaks my heart to see it happen because it's not fair to anyone involved in the situation.
You can't have a blinded view of people It's so difficult to tell someone
"you don't really love me, you love an idea of me." because they'll always deny it.
They truly want to believe that you are the image they have in their head. You can't put your whole salvation on someone else.
Think about the weight that must be - what it must be like for them to carry it.
To say to someone 'you have saved me, changed me, you have lifted me up.' No one can save you
No one can bring you to the light.
You bring yourself. The messenger is not important. The muse is not important.
It is the awakening that you love,
the fruits that it brings.
It's not the messenger and it's not the muse.
It's the energy that you love. | | |
| We've been in our mind, it's such a fine line....
There are men.
But there's us too,
and our past
and who we are. And who we are isn't going to change.
The way that we have lived life isn't going to change,
even though we've tried it,
tried to move away and run away,
and shut it out
and tell the Fates
'no, no, no' (Three times no)
there are only so many times
you can lie to yourself. There are men.
And they think they can be knights,
but we like Pirates. You will find no princesses here,
No sleeping beauties. And though our skin might be as white as snow,
and our lips as red as the rose;
we are the ones who deal the Apples. We have lived enough life to fill
Ages of mythology.
And though there are things we would do differently,
and words we wish we might not have said;
our scars, our pain
are from the battles we have won; Because my daughter and I,
have never lost a war. So there is no one to save.
The only serpants to defeat,
are the ones that live inside our skin;
but we are fierce creatures
that can never be tamed. And the truth of it is;
as much as we say
'no, no, no' We love who we are
and where we come from And the Power of Three
will set us free. ________________________________________________________________ --sentences.
Sisters, maybe twins, possibly cousins. We won't know unless we see their birth certificates, the real ones, not the ones they use to get ID.
This is what they do for a living. They walk in, take what they need, walk out again.
It's not glamorous. It's just business. It may not always be strictly legal.
It's just business.
They are too smart for this, and too tired.
They share clothes, wigs, make-up, cigarettes. Restless and hunting, they move on.
Two minds. One heart.
Sometimes they even finish each other's --
-- written by Neil Gaiman | | |
| I've got a new song and
a new fruit on the vine Going forward
It's all about taking the past
with me
but not in me. It is and it was
and maybe it was all just because because
I could justify all night but Mars is on the rise
so Kore has to take her turn and let's just go down
let's just go down
and see if we end up
in this embrace It's where all this talking got us, baby;
through the un-throughable door
and so Orpheus is jealous of us we went down sometime this time
but even Canossa cannot hold
heaven's prettiest light. If we're going to rise
I have to take my turn,
have to say 'yes'
to the Mother and the Father
Time and Earth are running on a limit
and heaven may be next. So, boys pick up your threads
boys pick up your threads. | | |
| The 2007 Playlist There are so many emotions involved in this year.
Even though I'm nearly 29, I feel that I did a lot of growing up this year. Re-growing. I'd gotten so far away from my center;
in a lot of ways I still am far away,
but I'm closer now. I hope I can re-establishing this connection.
There have been so many times in the past few years
that I've begun to re-connect with myself only to pull away again.
Typically, those times have been a sudden jolt of self,
as if my spirit walks up to my body and smacks in the face and says
"Look at me"
and I do,
but then quickly run away again. This year, it hasn't been that way.
It has been slow.
I've been figuring out what I need and what should be,
not what I want or what had been. Times have changed and I have changed.
What worked before might not work now. So this is how I'm cataloguing 2007.
This was not an easy playlist to create because it tracks sides of me that I am not proud of,
but I have to be honest here and talk about when I've hidden or when I've played the victim. You will also notice that while last year was the year of Snow Patrol,
this is the year of Tori Amos & her American Doll Posse album.
If you're interested in the music below,
just let me know.
I'll send you some tracks. ~~~~~~~ Girl Disappearing (Tori Amos) - "So I'm running to a constellation where they can still see you..."

My Oh My (David Gray) "What on earth is going on with my heart, has it turned as cold as stone?"
Rootless Tree (Damien Rice) - "What I want from this is learn to let go"
Secret Spell (Tori Amos) - "You losing you was not a part of this plan...turn you around, you've still got your secret spell"
Smile (Lily Allen) - "At first when I see you cry it makes me smile. At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I go ahead & smile."
Stromata (Charlotte Martin) - "I, you, we're not thinking my stromata."
Bouncing off Clouds (Tori Amos) - "You say you're waiting on faith, but I think fate is now waiting on us - make it easy, we could make this easy. It's not as heavy as it seems. We can make this easy."
Ways & Means (Snow Patrol) - "Maybe I can do it if I put my back into it"
Fade (Staind) - "Now I'm older and I feel like I can let some of this anger fade...and now I step out of the darkness that my life became"
