William, It Was Really Nothing

A long day of design means rekindling your love of your favorite band. Since the Broken Bells, Phoenix, and new Arcade Fire cd, I had forgotten entirely about the music that evoked so much feeling inside of me. On many occassions during my self-mutilatory days, I would lay in darkness with Ben Gibbard's soft voice calming me until I eventually fell asleep. It was all I had to seperate myself from the world. But today, I was able to listen in a different light; I no longer need an escape. My life is everything I could ever want.

"I've been slipping through the years, and my old clothes don't fit like they once did. So they hang like ghosts of the people I've been. But it's like my heart can't be tamed, and I fall in love everyday, and I feel like a fool. I have to face the truth, that no one could ever look at me like you do, like I'm something worth holding on to."
