on the ocean

"and i shall watch the ferry boats, and they'll get high,

on a bluer ocean against tomorrow's sky.

and i will never grow so old again,

and i will walk and talk,

in gardens all wet with rain..."

-van morrison

"the sea always filled her with longing,

though for what she was never sure."

-cornelia funke

"she loves the serene brutality of the ocean,

loves the electric power she felt with each breath

of wet, briny air"

- holly black

"i walked beside the evening sea

and dreamed a dream that could not be;

the waves that plunged along the shore

said only: dreamer, dream no more!"

-george william curtis

"i am longing to be with you, and by the sea,
where we can talk together freely and
build our castles in the air"


-bram stoker

"i thought of you and how you love this beauty

and walking up the long beach all alone

i heard the waves breaking in measured thunder

as you and i once heard their monotone

around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me

the cold and sparkling silver of the sea -

we two will pass through death and ages lengthen

before you hear that sound again with me"

- sara teasdale

i am doll parts

"i am doll eyes

doll mouth, doll legs

i am doll arms, big veins, dog bait

yeah, they really want you, they really do

i want to be the girl with the most cake

i love him so much it just turns to hate

i fake it so real, i am beyond fake

and someday, you will ache like i ache"

- from doll parts by hole

write a story of your own

is seeking the unknown"

i come undone

"oh make me over
i'm all i wanna be
a walking study
in demonology...
...when i wake up
in my makeup
it's too early for that dress
wilted and faded somewhere in hollywood
i'm glad i came here with your pound of flesh
no second billing, cause you're a star now
oh cinderella they aren't sluts like you
beautiful garbage, beautiful dresses
can you stand up
or will you just fall down?"

i dance without sleeping

"walking on the edge of rage and understanding

between the black and the white

this child is so angry

alone here tonight

alarming desperation

leads me to believe

with all my shields and protection

it's only me i deceive

dance without sleeping

dance without fear

dance without senses no message i hear

dance till i'm numb

dance till i think i can overcome"

- from dance without sleeping by melissa etheridge

why can't i keep you?

"same song again and again

you rob me twice and i keep coming back

tell me what the matter is little man

i've got a pretty face and i wear a nice dress

why can't i keep you?"

- from keep you by wild belle

in my dreams

"in my dreams i'm dying all the time

as i wake its kaleidoscopic mind

i never meant to hurt you

i never meant to lie

so this is goodbye

this is goodbye

tell the truth you never wanted me

tell me

in my dreams i'm jealous all the time

as i wake i'm going out of my mind

going out of my mind"

twisted bunny tip #39:

DO put all of your disagreeable people in one basket

catch the wind

"in the chilly hours and minutes

of uncertainty

i want to be

in the warm hold of your lovin' mind

to feel you all around me

and to take your hand

along the sand,

ah but i may as well try and catch the wind"

- from catch the wind by donovan

(go to project playlist on right to hear)

"found yourself in a new direction

aeons far from the sun

can you come?

would they come to breach you?

let you know you're not the only one

you can't keep hangin' on

to all that's dead and gone

if you built yourself a myth

you'd know just what to give

do you lie?
oh, let the ashes fly"

-from myth by beach house

*my new most favorite song.. totally obsessed

"the truth is unspoken, a promise is broken

i'm under surveillance, they know what my name is

i need some protection, some love and affection

there's 1000 reasons but one is the number

welcome to my spaceship

you're beautiful forever

she's right here where you left her

and the heart's a lonely hunter"

metal heart

"it's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do

be true 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo

oh what cha trying to prove

hiding you're not worth a thing

sew your fortunes on a string

and hold them up to light

blue smoke will take

a very violent flight

and you will be changed

i once was lost but now i'm found was blind

but now i see you

how selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming

metal heart you're not hiding

metal heart you're not worth a thing"

-from metal heart by cat power


heart graphic from graphics fairy

"i heard you were here then you disappeared last night

when they killed the lights

words we didn't say

your eyes that took us down two more

and we were ready for

you came up behind me, grabbed my wrists in the dark

and said 'don't look at what you can't see'"

-from all night by sam phillips
