I told you from the start just how this would end when I get what I want I never want it again.
One day you are twenty-seven years old. It was never supposed to go down like this.
I mean, it was inevitable right? But were you really going to outlive Kurt Cobain? Not when you were fourteen, you couldn't have then because you were dying. And at sixteen you were dead. By eighteen you had left the state and you knew everything and by twenty-one ( Read more... ) -
it's true we named our children after towns that we'd never been town (epilogues))
I. I shouldn't listen to this album in the morning, when I am trying to pack or get ready or you know go through the day because it makes me want to make you be alive. Be alive for real.

all they got inside is vacancy
It's like the story about how I didn't know who to call & would count friends on my fingers, and then realized I could call AAA.
