Goyte performing “somebody that I used to know” with Kimbra. So so gorgeous.
“…You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I’ll admit that I was glad it was over
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
No you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know…”

Your Bruise - Death Cab For Cutie
It’s a backwards attraction to your forward eyes
But you’re so far-sighted that you can’t place trust in what or who you recognize.
I think your bruise was understated, ‘cause you can’t feel this anymore
It’s getting bluer and you can’t keep faking that you can’t feel this anymore.
I need to get this out: this band is…LEGENDARY.

“No language” by OWEN off the album Ghost Town
I guess I’m still angry
I’m still punching walls that look like you
…
There are consequences for inactions, too
No common words
No language
I’ve no way to curse you and your burnt skin
I’m still seeing red
…

If even half of it’s true, then I’m not surprised that you’ve been kicking yourself to sleep.

Why Aren’t I Home - Athletics
No safe place to exist, but to pretend we never did.
As the cold crawls and twists into the nakedness beneath my skin
Cutting me open and dry
I drink all your jacks and gins
- the only water I can take in
the only subsidy my broken vessels tolerate
.
Too many battles have this body waged
War cries and rations to drunkenly survive
on the choicest and most precious of hope
but refuse and reject I continue to
to stigmatize in kaleidoscopic colors
what we once loved to create
.
They said we were the symmetry
they said, they said
so many lovely things
so many lovely now ugly
so ugly
.
and I can’t look at you now
each scrape of vision my lids catch
are blinding yellow pinpricks
that’s how bright you are
my everlasting star
Pandora
in false utopia
.

…If I couldn’t sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot
I started out clean but I’m jaded
Just phoning it in
Just breaking the skin
Can you help me I’m bent
I’m so scared that I’ll never
Get put back together
You’re breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent…
“Bent” by Matchbox Twenty - to this day remains one of my favourite songs.
Q: What advice would you offer to young aspiring writers, who long to live a success story like your own?
—Roth: One piece of advice I have is: Want something else more than success. Success is a lovely thing, but your desire to say something, your worth, and your identity shouldn’t rely on it, because it’s not guaranteed and it’s not permanent and it’s not sufficient. So work hard, fall in love with the writing—the characters, the story, the words, the themes—and make sure that you are who you are regardless of your life circumstances. That way, when the good things come, they don’t warp you, and when the bad things hit you, you don’t fall apart.
