Welcome to my little slice of tumblr!

Hi, there! Call me HB or hey you (I’m pretty flexible). I could devour/ obsess over content, write little stories, share them with you, and talk about the stories/ characters for infinity (sort of why I made this blog). Below you’ll find links to the pieces I’ve written (currently posted either here on tumblr or on ff.net or ao3). Lots of platonic/ familial relationships, but there are a few romantic pairings throughout as well. Hope you enjoy! If you have any questions, comments, or just feel like having a chat, send me an ask/ msg. ❤️

Honeybee Could you imagine where our lives would lead? That silly ring, it wasn't meant to be Luckily you saw in me Something I couldn't see

Honeybee I can't imagine how my life would be If all your gravity did not hit me Oh, don't you see? Darling, my honeybee

But here we are After all the misses and confessions To the stars That we never really owned as ours

And if our world comes tumbling down I never could forgive myself for leaving out You're the one, you are the only one

Such a fool I took your love and I bent all the rules You took the blow and didn't let it show Stuck around to let me know Built a family of our own

Look around We made a garden of the love we found So many reasons I would fight to stay You're the courage when I fade Take a look at what we've made

But here we are After all the misses and confessions To the stars That we never really owned as ours

And if our world comes tumbling down I never could forgive myself for leaving out You're the one, you are the only one

Won't you decide? Won't you decide? I want you to soar Don't doubt anymore

Won't you decide? (What's your name?) Won't you decide? (I hope you can hear me, I needed you near me) I want you to soar (you save my life) Don't doubt anymore (let's keep this between you and I)

And if our world comes tumbling down I never could forgive myself for leaving out And if our world comes tumbling down (The world comes tumbling down) I never could forgive myself, for leaving out You're the one, you are the only one

And if our world comes tumbling down I never could forgive myself, I'll say it now You're the one, you are the only one

I'm feeling mighty lonesome Haven't slept a wink I walk the floor and watch the door And in between I drink Black coffee Love's a hand me down brew I'll never know a Sunday In this weekday room I'm talking to the shadows 1 o'clock to 4 And Lord, how slow the moments go When all I do is pour Black coffee Since the blues caught my eye I'm hanging out on Monday My Sunday dreams to dry Now a man is born to go a lovin' A woman's born to weep and fret To stay at home and tend her oven And drown her past regrets In coffee and cigarettes I'm moody all the morning Mourning all the night And in between it's nicotine And not much hard to find Coffee Feelin' low as the ground It's driving me crazy just waiting for my baby To maybe come around My nerves have gone to pieces My hair is turning gray All I do is drink black coffee Since my man's gone away

I'm searching For my true love And I know she's there Just carry on, just carry on I promise I'll find you And it won't be long Just hold on, just hold on So I'm trying To be A better man But the work goes, yes the work goes on One day When all this is washed away Some will remain Full of hope in the pouring rain And I'll see you there With wet shoes and wet hair And when the last day is done We'll make it Somehow You know we will We'll be holding hands We'll be holding hands We'll be holding hands

When you love somebody It's hard to think about anything but to breathe When you love somebody Bite your tongue, all you get is a mouthful of blood When you love somebody It's hard to figure out, hard to figure out

Keep climbing into my head without knockin' And you fix yourself there like a map pin On this ghost of this street where I'm livin' I'm in a chrysalis and I'm snowed in

Darling, darling that dam's gonna give It's inevitable the way that you live Bottles in brown paper and a mouth that slurs All the shit that it stirs Let that dogwood blossom

There'll be hell to pay in heaven For you take every street home

What happens when you're into deep to break Loneliness keeps you constantly awake What happens when the passage of time appears You see yourself as a child and it brings you to tears

You say that you're troubled and you always have been Uncomfortable in your own skin So you contemplate the riverbed Turn off the dark thoughts in your head

Darling, darling that dam's gonna give It's inevitable the way that you live Bottles in brown paper and a mouth that slurs All the shit that it stirs Let that dogwood blossom

There'll be hell to pay in heaven For you take every street home

And why would you believe you could control how you're perceived When at your best, you're intermediately versed in your own feelings?

And irony's okay, I suppose Culture is to blame You try and mask your pain in the most postmodern way You lack substance when you say Something like, "Oh, what a shame" It's just a self-referential way That stops you having to be human I'm assuming you'll balloon When you remove the dirty spoon And start consuming like a human That's what I am assuming

I'm sure that you're not just another girl I'm sure that you're gonna say that that was sexist I feel like you're running out Of all the things I liked you for

Why can't we be friends when we are lovers? 'Cause it always ends with us hating each other Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in I've just got one more thing to say

And why would you believe you could control how you're perceived When at your best, you're intermediately versed in your own feelings? Keep on putting off conceiving It's only you that you're deceiving Oh, don't have a child, don't cramp your style, I'll leave it

Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers? 'Cause it always ends with us hating each other Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in I've just got one more thing to say

I'm just pissed off because you pied me off After your show when you let go of my hand In front of some sket who wanted bit on your Nah, I'm just messing

In many ways, they'll miss the good old days Someday,  someday It  hurts to say, but I want you to stay Sometimes, oh, sometimes When we was young, oh, man, did we have fun Always,  oh, always Promises,  they break before they're made Sometimes, oh, sometimes Oh,  Maya says I'm lacking in depth But I will try my best You say you wanna stand by my side Darling, your head's not right See,  alone we stand, together we fall apart Oh, I think I'll be alright I'm working so I don't have to try so hard Tables, they turn sometimes Oh, someday I ain't wasting no more time Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh And now my fears, they come to me in threes So I sometimes Say, "Fate, my friend, you say the strangest things I find Oh, sometimes" Oh, Maya says I'm lacking in depth But I will try my best You say you wanna stand by my side Darling, your head's not right See, alone we stand, together we fall apart Oh, I think I'll be alright I'm working so I don't have to try so hard Tables, they turn sometimes Oh, someday I ain't wasting no more time

Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of a dark black night

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of a dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise

The laughing version of this song is so damn pure. 

Are you lonesome tonight Do you miss me tonight? Are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day When I kissed you and called you sweetheart? Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight You know someone said that the world's a stage And each must play a part Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange And why I'll never know Honey, you lied when you said you loved me And I had no cause to doubt you But I'd rather go on hearing your lies Than go on living without you Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there With emptiness all around And if you won't come back to me Then make them bring the curtain down

Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

Everything I do, I do in slow motion I don't know what to say Everywhere I fall, don't know name or location Baby, I'll just find my way I'll find it

Years ago now, I couldn't hold my eyes to the stars Burdened by how they slept so far away I see now this is better in so many ways All that glitter is fire, burns the skin and leaves you with haste

Everything I do, I do in slow motion I don't know what to say Everywhere I fall, don't know name or location Baby, I'll just find my way I'll find it

Heavy is my sleeping, dull is my dreaming While you are pretty through the night And you may taste the salt that rolls off my cheekbone But you don't know why I cry

Over mulled wine, all the tact fell through the floor Tripping over fine lines and you If I stay here, well, I'll have some explaining for you Sins are in the mind, where there's things that I ought to do

Everything I do, I do in slow motion I don't know what to say And everywhere I fall, don't know name or location Baby, I'll just find my way I'll find it

Heavy is my sleeping, dull is my dreaming While you're pretty through the night And you may taste the salt that rolls off my cheekbone But you don't know why I cry
