my second grade teacher saw this and commented on it but you know what? i stand by it

also, fun fact, the production on this song was in part inspired by this scene

winter’s a ready moment

for enduring souls like us

the wind has lost its calm

the lover’s lost her touch

I’ve wanted you a life time long

I’ve needed you for more

the rich live for the summer

the winter’s for the poor

pull your cashmere sweater off

bathe in the kitchen sink

put every dime onto a tab

then pour yourself a drink

I’d dive off stage if I had thought

there’d be a chance that I’d be caught

by a someone more near

by a someone more dear

than a champagne chandelier

hanging from the ceiling

parts of my first novel that feel relevant since Trump invoked manifest destiny and declared his intention to colonize Mars…

for the record…

i personally blame elon.

legit would listen to their top hits on repeat during class and while walking down the hallways—it didn’t hurt my grades but i also think it was sort of off putting to others…

sisters of mercy is weirdly great to study to???? i might have to make a study playlist of just their stuff

art means nothing if it is made without intention or vision. it means something only because it is a creation not a generation

also i’m this close to going full modern Dogma 95—just show me one more ai generated image, i dare you

beautiful melodies and my lovely sister

it helps to remember that it still snows after December <3

out now.

[cease-the-day]

if the winter nights implore you

to go write another book

to find reasons for existence

and to fall sink, line, and hook

if the snow’s glow under moonlight

gives you chills by light of day

and the church bells seem to haunt you

find a synagogue to pray

when my father was a boy

he asked his rabbi about god

that was the day he stopped believing

what his saturday school taught

faith is fickle in those hurting

and is vicious in the cruel

I grew up believing

believing nothing

except in my love for you
