Morning comes a day too soon

You're back inside your tiny room

Waiting for something, so good at doing nothing

POLL 1, ROUND 3

[ifwebefriends]

As the sunlight filters in

Then your daily dread sets in

The cycle's beginning,

and in your head alarms are ringing

Something in you's fast asleep

Afraid to be who you will be

It's a losing battle,

so why are you still fighting?

Inktober 15 - Counting Sheep

An emo drawing of an OC set to Crane Wives lyrics, I am nothing if not predictable

[little-soldiers]

listening to a song out loud for the first time (instead of with headphones) and it sounds completely entirely different because theres entire vocals and instruments constrained to the side you cant hear from in the digital version

[thecranewivesrpf]

i have my alarm set to a song about waking up and being depressed because of the worlds situation and being able to do nothing to stop it and I wake up every morning and twirl my hair while scrolling tumblr seeing cool stuff about my blorbos and the world is beautiful

"Pop your pill and force a smile

Feign contentment for a while

That's all you know how to do"

You sigh into your cup of coffee as you watch the morning news

There goes your good day

There's the knot on the noose

I’ve fallen head first into my Crane Wives obsession again, so here’s songs that remind me of Yuu/The Prefect

Counting Sheep: Feign contentment for a while, that’s all you know how to do

Hole in the Silver Lining: If there’s a hole in the silver lining, I’ll be the one to find it

Easier: The only peace I have ever known is the peace I made with you; I won’t move, but I can’t stay here so what the hell am I supposed to do?

Once and For All: Once and for all means I’ve tried it before, so many times that I’m so fucking tired; that I’ll never be able to close that door

How to Rest: So life just keeps on ticking by, compelled by instinct to survive

Keep You Safe: No amount of waiting will make you brave; no amount of fear will keep you safe

The Moon Will Sing: Bore the shadows that you made with no light of my own, I shine only with the light you gave me

Hard Sell: I’m one deep breath away from a breakdown

Metaphor: I’ve gotten good at living on someone else’s page

Hand that Feeds: I’ve got no money but the change that jangles in my pockets, reminding me how little I have

New Discovery: I want to believe there’s something left for me, a new discovery waiting for me

Nothing at All: Do you ever feel nothing at all? I do, I do, I would not wish that upon you

I Talk In My Sleep: I talk in my sleep when the night is listening, and you are dreaming dreams that have nothing to do with me

Down the River: I’ve been wishing that you’d prove me wrong, that you’d come clean and rue the damage done

Curses: All my aching bones are trembling, and I may yet fall apart

Know How: Just because I know what I’m supposed to do now, doesn’t mean I know how

Not the Ghost: If only I could break the chain of disappointment weighing me down

Take Me to War: All of the words I have swallowed, all of the sharp things I’ve kept in my mouth; I am always bleeding out

High Horse: I keep tally, I keep score: I’m a petty thing on a high, high horse

Empty Page: I’m just a ten cent copy of people far more advanced than me
