bow in the presence of greatness
‘cause right now thou has forsaken us
you should be honored by my lateness
that i would even show up to this fake shit
(day 13: a song you used to like but now dislike and why (i used to be obsessed with this whole album when i was like a stupid little kid and i would just listen to this song over and over and over and i’m pretty sure i will be sick of it for the rest of my life))

welcome to a new kind of tension
all across the idiot nation
where everything isn’t meant

just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
to fall down at your door
(day 9: a song that makes you feel sad (is it okay if i do two because i couldn’t pick this is like the most depressing song in the world to me))
deadman’s gun /// ashtar command

and you’ve given them all you can give
and luck won’t save them tonight

si esta bien
agradezco y te corresponderé

(day 5: a song with the most beautiful lyrics you know (this is really really hard to choose so i just chose a decemberists song because i love all their lyrics))

i’m made of bones of the branches,
the boughs, and the browbeating light
while my feet are the trunks
and my head is the canopy, high
