Minneapolis Lyrics ..
Those who are capable of holding up their end of a conversation.
"I can't tell you exactly what I'm looking for, but I'll know it when it happens. I want to be breathless and weak, crumpled by the entrance of another person inside my soul. I want to be violated by insight."
-Aimee Bender, "Call My Name"
