Paper thin conviction,
Turning another page,
Plotting how to build myself to be
Everything that I am not at all.
Sometimes I get tired of pins and needles,
Facades are a fire on the skin.
And I'm growing fond of broken people,
As I see that I am one of them.
I'm one of them. [x2]
Oh, why must I work so hard,
Just so I can feel like the nobles ones?
Obligations to my heart are gone,
Superficial lines explain it all.
Sometimes I get tired of pins and needles,
Facades are a fire on the skin.
Oh, I'm growing fond of broken people,
As I see that I am one of them.
Sometimes I get tired of pins and needles,
Facades are a fire on the skin.
Oh, and I'm growing fond of broken people,
As I see that I am one of them.
I'm one of them.

i was scowling and walking very slowly today on the way to get my water jugs filled because I was thinking, "why do we try to be so attractive to each other? to be seen and get love? it doesn't work that way. We can't just be attractive and love each other. It just doesn't. Love is a careful and mysterious thing. careful. not rash and horny."

that's susceptible to the rash attraction "love"

also, i was thinking, "People have unspeakable darkness in them, and I don't really want that uncovered. At least not to be left in my hands. I don't want it."
It should be a slow build to giving.
also this guy wrote an article in Vogue(yeah vogue has words in it) about his past girlfriends and what he was like in the relationship. One girl said something about love giving/receiving that was rattling:
"You seemed quite sure (as I probably was as well; we were two prickly people cautiously attempting to disarm ourselves) that there was no such thing as a surfeit of affection and regard, that the supply was always going to be finite, and that any giving of it had to be quickly counterbalanced by a getting of it."
wow.

also i think we are funny that our blogs are so personal. I mean, everyone who keeps one is going to be personal. It's THEIR blog. I just mean how much of our feelings are told on our blogs.

yeah, i know. not everyone writes so publicly and personally. it has taken me years to finally agree to make this thing known because of that:)
