A storm is coming, Frank says; A storm that will swallow the children And I will deliver them from the kingdom of pain. I will deliver the children back the their doorsteps And send the monsters back to the underground. I'll send them back to a place where no-one else can see them Except for me. "Another life force, out there in the void, following the same paths, sorting through the same data." "There was great activity underneath the surface, but no signal escaping." "Always of spiraling circles." "A vortex started to form." We did it all for fun Sacrifice yourself to yourself You already know the answers Infinite joy and sorrow There is no Fermi paradox Continuous apocalypse I can only tell you what you ask (and even then not everything) "Tears of joy run down my face I know that I must go I hear a voice calling my name Coming to carry me home." "Sleep, little one Did you lose your way home? Lay down all your troubles Until there's nothing left." beauty in the tragedy of everything everything everything everywhere so many hearts so little and beating so fast innocent martyrs every tiny death captured signals curled up together wish i could wrap my arms around every last little heart forever and ever I know where I will go when I die. It is a place no one knows. It is a place no one will find me. Leaving everything behind; gotta catch the train. Take me to the stars. Walking to the woods with you in 2008 I'm alone on the floor of your room Crying on the phone again Spent all November in the woods Sleeping in the snow Cascading forever, train through winter weather Things fall out of my life and disappear all the time Little things, quiet affections You're empty of my love I'll see you again one day. ======================================== (Sources; Julia Brown ("2008 demo" & "tears,") The Sheltered Storm, @sweetcafe ("Grief Consumed Cocoon," Donnie Darko (2001,) found imagery, dextromethorphan.)
