how do you feel about time travelers

[eldritches]

 

cherry wine hozier I want it, it's a crime That she's not around most of the time Way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine Open hand or closed fist would be fine The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine Her fight and fury is fiery Oh but she loves Like sleep to the freezing Sweet and right and merciful I'm all but washed In the tide of her breathing And it's worth it, it's divine I have this some of the time

and now for something completely different

children's work dessa Before you came along i was a lone cub. fell in love with language, tried to tell the grown-ups about the storm clouds, the weather in my head. hadn't heard the word for melancholy yet. Then you came in five years behind - we thought you couldn't talk, turns out you were just shy. Mom said it was serious, dad said you'd be fine. I thought you were the prophet of 1989, You were so tender, we thought something was wrong with you. So patient, we thought that you were deaf - you were so solemn, so tiny but so ancient. Ma took you to see doctors, you scared her half to death, And I made you a library of tiny books with spines two inches high. You didn't say too much, But your smile taught me how to quiet down my mind. But I've learned how to paint my face, How to earn my keep, How to clean my kill. Some nights I still can't sleep, The past rolls back, I can see us still. You've learned how to hold your own, How to stack your stones, But the history's thick. Children aren't as simple as we'd like to think. You slept in my bed, and if I kept quiet I could hear all the voices in your head.

the second I heard this I was like ITSUMEI!!!!

you and i PVRIS You and I. I know it's warmer where you are, and it's safer by your side, but right now I can't be what you want - just give it time. And if you and I can make it through the night, and if you and I can keep our love alive, we'll find we can meet in the middle. Bodies and souls collide, dance in the moonlight when all the stars align for you and I - for you and I. I know it's cold when we're apart, and I hate to feel this die, but you can't give me what I want - just give it time. And if you and I can make it through the night, and if you and I can keep our love alive, we'll find we can meet in the middle. Bodies and souls collide, dance in the moonlight when all the stars align for you and I - for you and I. But for now we stay so far, 'til our lonely limbs collide. I can't keep you in these arms, so I keep you in my mind. But for now we stay so far, 'til our lonely limbs collide. I can't keep you in these arms, so I keep you in my mind. (Reaching out, can't feel you now.) We can meet in the middle, bodies and souls collide, dance in the moonlight when all the stars align for you and I - for you and I.

laughs all the way to hell

avalanche walk the moon 18 thousand year old soul Leader and shooting star In the place she waits But she moonlights rock and roll Play the rain dance with her guitar Sometimes you only get one chance You got a look in your eyes I knew you pure in past life One glance and the avalanche drops One look and my heartbeat stops Ships pass in the night I don't want to wait 'til the next life One glance and the avalanche drops One look and my heartbeat stops Last call and everybody's watching The voice screams out like a storm Sometimes the past echoes in the future Starting long before we were born Sometimes you only get one chance
