live inside the hope


"the very least you can do in your life if figure out what you hope for.
and the most you can do is live inside that hope.
not admire it from a distance but live right in it…"

hurt


"…and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt

i wear this crown of thorns
upon my liars chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair

if i could start again
a million miles away
i will keep myself
i would find a way"

-from "hurt" by nine inch nails

her turn to go?


"said you're gonna shoot me down, put my body in the rive
shoot me down, put my body in the river
while the whole world sings, sing it like a song
the whole world sings like there's nothing going wrong…

oh, and tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand
gonna do for a world that's just dying slow?
tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand
gonna do for his daughter when it's her turn to go?"

- from "the body electric" by hurray for the riff raft
