don’t get me wrong
I’ve got no ill will for you
it’d just been so long
I thought I’d always know you
but you’re so far gone
up where the air gets thin
you cut the kite strings

I’ve read my name in lights
I’ve seen my face in papers
but in my civilian life
I spent ten good years waiting
waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting for you

- Dessa Darling

and I don’t live my time like I should
but they’re killin’ off my childhood
taking all my heroes, babe
one by one
everyone famous is gone

- Samantha Crain

I know what it’s like to love a dude who loves something more than he loves you. You know? So, um, that would’ve been too sad to write about. So you invent a violinist.

if nothing’s able to stay static
perhaps we left some strips of fabric
bloodied up and streaming
in the fencing

Frontier Ruckus, “Junk-Drawer Sorrow“
