Desdemona 02:39
I think that I’ve found the reason for why we are the best at bad goodbyes. I am avoiding those feelings, I’d much rather submit instead of fight back against my devils and demons. And I lack for my own solitude, a bit self-righteous but I know when it comes Autumn you’ll be leavin’. I guess I better believe in the ill-fated and the unfortunate. For love perpetually ceases, only imperfect if it fails to exist. I’ve got this terrible feeling that Desdemona should not put out her light. Impermanence starts to creep in, demanding more than you’d like to sacrifice for a love that seems so infrequent. Guess I wore my heart a bit too close to my sleeve for some metaphor that fed on some poor bastard she left weakened. And I’ve still got this terrible feeling.

Virgil 02:20
Grow broke! Break growth! I ain’t sure which hurts the most. Your dead friends or weak ends, both gone before you could pen this preemptive memoir of hell’s greatest rockstars, who’d stuck south of heaven for much better, I reckon. So, take care! Care takes! Care takes your foot up off the brakes. So hold fast, this won’t last. Could you please pour one more glass for the falsifiers and counterfeiters, who still made it farther than most of us quitters.

Celebrity 04:20
I don’t dress up, but I wear down this doctored wall of feared renown. I get fucked up to still the sound. When I wake up I wander through this day to day To get to you I’m so fucked up, you’re tried and true, you’re tried and true. You were my first thought but you shouldn’t be my last. I’d hated everything but now I only hate this sense of self. It’s not enough to dote, to touch. Aphrodite left in a rush. I must be dumb, too dumb to trust, too dumb to trust. And I’ll keep this up, until I lose all of my friends and family too I’ll vanquish all so I can be, some liquor-store celebrity celebrity. You were my first thought but you shouldn’t be my last. Hell, I’d hated everything but now I only hate this sense of self.
