It seemed impossible

and dangerous to confuse

then. They shot all the sparrows

and could not go back.

Nearly asleep—

they smiled.

Because it was told to shut up?

Can you feel the heat? The flames are chasing me

I wanna burn this house to the ground

After playing with fire

I wanna burn this map of the stars

Now I'm on fire (I’ll die for it)

-StarMaps, Aly & AJ

I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map

And knew that somehow I could find my way back

Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too

So I stayed in the darkness with you

At the stake

We don't fight the flames

Are you born in vain

If you die, a saviour?

A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground

With no one around to tweet it

While I bathe in cliffside pools

With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief

-The Lakes, Taylor Swift

I’m almost never serious, and I’m always too serious. Too deep, too shallow. Too sensitive, too cold hearted. I’m like a collection of paradoxes.
