"...'For I aint, you must know,' said Betty, 'much of a hand at reading writing-hand, though I can read my Bible and most print. And I do love a newspaper. You mightn't think it, but Sloppy is a beautiful reader of a newspaper. He do the Police in different voices." - Mutual Friend, Charles Dickens -
"The fire of wild abandon burns
so beautiful and bright
The ashes fade away after
consuming all the light
The fire of wild abandon
burns so beautiful and hot
I used to know the way back home
but somehow I forgot
Through all the smoke I canât see you
Whatâs the thing you been turned into?
Something fun, or someone new
The fire of wild abandon
Feel the lie becoming true
Whose eyes are you seeing through?
Teeth, turn in on yourselves and chew
The parasite expanding
Through all the heat waves you canât see
The thing you thought I used to be
Distorted uncontrollably
Beyond misunderstanding
And in the wreckage, nothing there
Only the cold spell in the air
I cried for you like you were dead
But itâs just that youâre something else instead
And as I felt myself float away, way up there
Up above all the houses
and the people and the trees
And I thought Iâd go back,
back down there, be like them
But I canât anymore,
âcause I donât know which one was me
I donât know which one was me"

"I fire myself ten times a day
I throw myself in a watery grave
With fourteen horses on top of my head
I hear the voice again and again" - I Fire Myself, Mary Timony -

â...Thank God you let me crash on your couch
Who's my God that Iâm prayin' to now?

Made her go home, felt the virus
Web of life is my weed, false dreams stripped by silence
âŠ
Deals they had us sign, for years, it had mĐ” blind
Think I had to hit rewind and think about why I do shine
âŠ
My whole family cursed, now get the fuck out my ride
âŠ
Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin'
âŠ
If a killer say shit, then get these motherfuckers
...
Get the fuck outâ - Buzzcut Feat. Danny Brown - Brockhampton

"You lie in the graveyard
Well you're rotting away
When I talk to you daily
You've got nothing to say
You lie in the graveyard
Well you are down making plans
Well you control all my thoughts
Well you make dust fall"- Graveyard , Butthole Surfers
