13/08/24 It’s like falling in love when you’re ten So I’ve written 101 songs about you. And you haven’t heard them. And she’s far enough away to never meet you. She won’t worry about the subject matter This has to work cause all I have is this I finally got that cd I’ve been looking for And you’d hate it I saw that film I’ve been wanting to see And you’d hate it I’m going to bleach my hair ... » Continue Reading

12/08/24 Marriage counselling I know that I’m a cynic but I don’t think it works. It didn’t work for my parents and it wouldn’t work for us. I have this vision of us sat in the pastor’s office and I’ve just shut down the way that I do and you’re pretending that you don’t hate me Cause you would You’d hate me You’d learn every terrible thing I’ve ever done and you wouldn’t love me anyway And ... » Continue Reading

11/08/24 I’m tired of being down, I got no fight I was stargazing with my sister and watching the meteorites I know now that this will be the time I look back on fondly We saw a shooting star I should have wished for something else But I do want that Longer goodbyes I hope it happens Of course with someone else And not quite like that But still If I cry when we say goodbye, wi » Continue Reading

09/08/24 11:39 PM Black as midnight on a moonless night I like the chord change on screaming infidelities I had something to say I can’t remember it now Expect me to apologise for things that you’ve done wrong You’re owning up to nothing Cursive I assume the worst but still pretend to be shocked so you feel like you’ve hurt me Does that make you feel better? » Continue Reading

09/08/24 Midnight When I’m back from the road then you’re out on it I have nothing to say but I keep screaming. There’s something inside of me. There was something. It died a long time ago Now there’s a black hole consuming me I need confessional I need someone to hear what I’m saying and not know anything else about me I’m sick of people saying the wrong things I’m sick of people thinking... » Continue Reading

07/08/24 Won’t you take me by the hand, take me somewhere new I should have stalled I should have smiled I should have bought that jumper I think I’m starting to come into my own. I feel a little more comfortable in my skin when I don’t think too much. Black cats are not unlucky I wish I’d ignored you. I wish I hadn’t looked up. I wish I hadn’t said hello I wish you hadn’t done that to me » Continue Reading

06/08/24 Last chances Or “you need to give up” My letters to you are addressed to everyone else, anyone else. Even as I say “you” I don’t mean you. I mean the “you” that whoever reads this imagines. In which case would be the “you” who dominates every thought with no care for shredding up my life. The “you” who, no matter how many curses I have placed on your name, no matter how many vows of ... » Continue Reading

04/08/24 How much is too much? How many times have you given up on something? I’m a quitter with a heart of copper I’m ready to be consumed by bright lights (I would die) I wish I was someone else, some other time - the right person at the right time With the right words and the right sound The right tongue, the right voice I just wish what we all wish. I wish I was different Formaldehyde is... » Continue Reading

Speakeasy Why do you have to talk to me like that? Why can’t it just be easy? Why can’t we be like everyone else? Maybe everyone else is like this Maybe I’m this vermin that is chewing up the cables of your dream life All I know is that those pills don’t counteract our clashing personalities And by that I mean the same personalities. That’s what’s wrong. I’m you but I’m angrier and I’m louder ... » Continue Reading

02/08/24 I’m sorry every song is about you I need to stop comparing my relationships with those around me to bloodsports. It’s kind of dark I wrote another song. I haven’t been writing as much as a few weeks ago. I can’t find much to write about. I have no muse. And yet I will persist. I still haven’t written anything particularly happy. I think that comes with maturity For now I will continue t... » Continue Reading

01/08/24 I’m sorry my blog posts are so long. Once I start I can’t stop. I keep talking until there’s something of some value. I hope there’s something of some value Are you there God? It’s me, edie I don’t believe, I wish I did. I keep saying I don’t believe but I keep finding myself praying. I’ll say it’s something else but it’s not. What’s the difference between praying and begging? I’m on my... » Continue Reading

31/07/24 I tried to cut my nose off to spite my face It seems I’m not spiteful enough to push through the pain. Are you prepared for everything to be a letdown? I'm told constantly “people let you down” as if I don’t know. As if I haven’t known. I know all too well. When is too young to learn? Then I can pick out that day when I learned. I don’t remember the colour of the car but I remember the ... » Continue Reading
