insanely. sane.

deepandsuperficial:

Maybe I wasn’t asking you to love me, maybe I was asking you to understand, because for so long I’ve been hurt and for so long you’ve ignored it, and maybe it is bad timing, but maybe, I don’t care. I’ve been here all along just waiting, waiting for you to notice, waiting for you to care. Waiting for you to say that you’ve been waiting too, and you haven’t and maybe you never will or maybe you’re afraid to. But it all hurts the same, and in the end, I’m the one that’s left broken and when I lay down to sleep, I’m still the one crying, so screw the bad timing. I’ve loved you then, like I love you now, like I probably always will. — unknown

kill the lights

likelava:

you have always done this. you have always surprised me. you’re incredible and i’m vulnerable. you hold something i can never see but always try to feel. you’re a warm light i refuse to live without. I feel awkward and inadequate when it comes to you. i feel courageous and invincible when it comes to you. and you are going to hurt me. you always have. but you will never destroy me. and I will always follow after you. I will learn how to mold you, and you will never stop shaping me. you’re not mine, nor are you the product of someone elses expectations. you’re elusive and violent while i’m soft and plain, and we can never reach one another. but i’ve seen our possibilities curl, i’ve seen them cut short, seen them break and taught them how to become. and i am a kamikaze soul willing to spend the rest of my life doing something i might not even be good at — hoping it speaks to someone. and knowing that if it doesn’t i’ll still fight, because it means something to me. and I don’t know what you are, but you don’t belong to me. then again, the things I love, never do.

Steer

Sung by: Missy Higgins

Feel it falling off like clothing
Taste it rolling on your tongue
See the lights above you glowing
Oh and breathe them deep into your lungs

It was always simple, not hidden hard
You’ve been pulling at the strings playing puppeteer for kings
And you’ve had enough

But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know
that you control where you go
You CAN steer

So hold this feeling like a newborn
Of freedom surging through your veins
You have opened up a new door
So bring on the wind, fire and rain

It was always simple, not hidden hard
You’ve been played at a game called remembering your name
And you stuffed it up

But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know
that you control where you go
You CAN steer

‘Cos you’ve been listening for answers
But the city screams and all your dreams go unheard

But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know
that you control where you go
You CAN steer

Yea get out of the box and step into the clear
‘Cos now you finally know you can steer…
