“Well, it’s tough to be somebody/ And it’s hard not to fall apart/ Up here on Rehab Mountain/ We’re gonna learn these things by heart”
Everybody needs a place to stand And a method for their schemes and scams If I could only get my record clean I’d be a genius
Titus. Andronicus. Is. Back.
If things are as bad as the newspaper says, we’re in for a real big war/ If this is the shit that we’re to be dealing with then we made a real bad deal/ But shit isn’t new until it happens to you, spinning like a reel-to-reel
Tonight, I can’t stop thinking of this great Warren Zevon song. This guy, this great everyman philosopher who said perhaps the only thing one needs to know to get through life relatively ok: …
“Last night is sinking in/ It’s in my blood and on my skin/ I feel it ringing in my head/ Colliding with my day// When you let go of all your fear/ The perfect life does not exist”
the weather’s warm. city warm. i’ll play pacing, by tep no, or bloodlines, by mimicking birds. that sound—like a foggy night. like this feeling at the edge of your heart. like a cliff. like the wind. wondering if and when you’ll land and what it’ll all look like when you do.
What am I gonna do?/ I can’t survive on my Amerika/ If the worst is true/ Is it just a waste of time?/ What am I trying to find?/ Are you alive, oh my Amerika?
“Turn your back on the world / Live off the grid / Turn off your phone / You’ll be glad that you did.”
