I don't believe you.
Tonight my house makes noises like footsteps on the stairs And the rain is too light to wash my hands but heavy enough to hear, Heavy enough to reflect the glare of lights from the freeway and the sprawl. I creak and moan with the wind Or scrape along the floor with phantom chairs, and heels, and tables. The scratches call for sympathy But I’ve only enough pity for myself tonight.

I don’t know what I’m doing or why I continue to act in ways that I know will only leave me (and quite potentially other people) feeling shitty and confused. But I do. It’s selfish and makes me utterly sick with myself. And I have no idea how accurate my perception is - maybe I’m being totally melodramatic, maybe I’m not. So I’ll just get angry with...

On music
“It drains me and it shakes me and it hurts like hell every time I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of its meaning, like when you’re going to have your dog put down and it’s wagging its tail all the way there. That’s what they all look like to me and it breaks my heart. I wish that song hadn’t picked us as its catalysts, and so I don’t...

On getting away with it.
dearcoquette:
isn’t cocaine illegal? then how do you do drugs, openly advertise the fact that you are taking an illegal narcotic on the internet, and get away with it?
Get away with it? Fuck you. May no vehicle in which you travel ever go faster than the posted speed limit. May you be audited by the IRS every year. May you live your entire life and never break a single rule or law, be it for...
