Favorite Quote:
"It's pathetic how we can't live with the things we can't understand. How we need everything labeled and explained and deconstructed."

“Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.”

“I just don't want to die without a few scars.”

Thrills and pills, tell me I’m pretty
show me the beast you’ve made of me.

Mr. Anti-Civility:
Swing from chandeliers
let your spaceship go where it will
leaving behind pocket factories.

You’re a new kind of drunken superhero,
defending your own lacey deception
dressing in guilt from top to toe
drilling your way through the walls of
gravity.

The underworld is where we should go
I could drag you into my overcast dreamland
and we could get high on coffee and time
and create our own continuum.

I've realized that there are so many different worlds for everyone. My counter-world is the unnatural: reality.
