i know a girl.

she puts the colour inside of my world

but she's just like a maze

where all of the walls all continually change

it takes one to know one.

you're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black.

words, bright eyes

ageless beauty.

cruelty makes its holes but on the shoreline time will hold its promise
we will always be a light, you can see it from the surface, see it

so loosen your heart, underestimated, undefeated in this love
we will always be a light, you can see it from the surface, see it

hope there's someone, cause i'll be gone for a while.

where i'm going you can't save me.
where i'm going you can't save me.
where i'm going you can't save me, yet.

words, the veils.

too young

baby when i saw you turning at the end of the street, i knew a time was gone and it took me like ages

i tried my best to smile, but deep inside my heart i felt it was shouting like a crowd dancing

i guess i couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is.

it's bad.

sometimes the beauty is easy

sometimes you don't have to try at all

sometimes you can hear the wind blow in a handshake

sometimes there's poetry written right on the bathroom wall

and it's bad that i wrapped you in a fantasy, and i carry you with me

and it's bad that i took a second look, i guess i'm an open book

you know i didn't really intend to embrace you that long

but then again, i wasn't the only one holding on

words, ani difranco

she's got you high.

she's got you high and you don't even know yet.

it's the search for the time before it leaves without you.

have you lost your mind or has she taken all of yours too?

what's this about? i figured love would shine through.

we've lost romance, this world has turned so see through

open your mind, believe it's going to come to

romance alive and hope she's going to tell you

this one is about me.

i have been given this award by where the wild wolves dream. thank you so much.

i would like to pass this award onto the following seven delightful blogs, who all play a role in my daily dose of inspiration;
studded hearts.
love more.
daughter of the soho riots.
this is glamorous.
young shields.
boubou tea time.
here comes the sun.

i now have to tell you seven random things about myself, so here goes.

1. i like change, love it in fact. thrive off it. i don't like things to stay the same, there's no excitement in that.

2. i always have a bunch of fresh wild flowers on my desk in my bedroom. my mum picks them for me, it's so cute. it makes my room feel brighter and me feel happier.

3. i'm obsessed with photography. my walls are covered, and my laptops memory has reached it's maximum more than once with the amount saved on my hard drive.

4. i find coming up with seven things about myself hard. i'd rather talk about you.

5. when i eat, i have to eat a bit of everything and go around the plate until i have one bit left of everything and i do it in reverse order of what i like best. same with coloured lollies.

6. i love it when you walk past a cute guy on the street and you both check each other out and then pretend not to but both turn around once you've past, and it's al really awkward but you both walk off with a shy smile on your face.

7. i am so unbelievably excited for the next few months. there is so much to look forward to, i am at the beginning of the rest of my life.

no stars, no presidence.

were blessed but not lucky now, we may burn up upon re-entry

no stars no presidence, we may float through empty skys

how could you know there was something out there

how could I know what was on your mind if you were not dreaming too

i've been working on a piece that speak of sex and desperation.
i've been screwing on the tracks of abandoned train stations.
one, two, three four, art star, do do do do do do.

is your bed made?

but this feels so unnatural.

words, vampire weekend

every time you close your eyes.

sleeping in is giving in, no matter what the time is.
sleeping in is giving in, so lift those heavy eyelids.

people say that your dreams are the only things that save you.
come on baby in our dreams, we can live our misbehaviour.

everytime you close your eyes,
every time you close your eyes, lies, lies!

people try and hide the night underneath the covers.
people try and hide the light underneath the covers.

hiding from your brothers underneath the covers,
come on hide your lovers underneath the covers.

now heres the sun, its alright! now heres the moon, its alright!
now heres the sun, its alright! now heres the moon, its alright!
