There's a man I've been avoiding
I see him on busy roads
Peering through the crowd
Though I cannot tell his intentions
His gaze freezes me to my core
A smirk like scavengers pecking at my soul
There's a man I've been avoiding
He waits silently at night
Watching me from the sidewalk
No matter where I went
How much I bruised my eyes
He's always there, in my peripheral
Maybe one night I'll go up to him
Shake his hand and meet him
Perhaps I'll enjoy his company
But for now I'll just run and hide
I see him on busy roads
Peering through the crowd
Though I cannot tell his intentions
His gaze freezes me to my core
A smirk like scavengers pecking at my soul
There's a man I've been avoiding
He waits silently at night
Watching me from the sidewalk
No matter where I went
How much I bruised my eyes
He's always there, in my peripheral
Maybe one night I'll go up to him
Shake his hand and meet him
Perhaps I'll enjoy his company
But for now I'll just run and hide
Gloomy Sunday
Diamanda Galás
Sadly one Sunday, I waited and waited
With flowers in my arms, for the grief I'd created
I waited 'til dreams like my heart were all broken
The flowers were all dead and the words were unspoken
The grief that I knew was beyond all consoling
The beat of my heart was a bell that was tolling
With flowers in my arms, for the grief I'd created
I waited 'til dreams like my heart were all broken
The flowers were all dead and the words were unspoken
The grief that I knew was beyond all consoling
The beat of my heart was a bell that was tolling
“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.”
- Martha Graham

I shoulda just left you alone
I'm better off on my own
What's the point in conversation?
One-way traffic is all there is
