About Me

I am going to be a DRAGON for halloween!!!!

and though I know that my actions are impossible to justify/ they seem adequate to fill up my time/ and if I could talk to myself like I was someone else/ then maybe I could take your advice/ and I wouldn't act like such an asshole all the time/

one day we will die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea/but for now we are young/ let us lay in the sun/ and count every beautiful thing we can see/ love to be/ in the arms of all i'm keeping here with me/
