absolutum dominium

- The Postal Service

I'll be the grapes fermented,
Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit
Like a perfect gentleman
I'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick
Where you will sit and contemplate your day

I'll be the waterwings that save you if you start drowning
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink
I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite
Albums back to back as you're lying there drifting off to sleep.
I'll be the platform shoes and undo what heredity's done to you
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes
I'll be your winter coat buttoned and zipped straight to the throat
With the collar up so you won't catch a cold

I want to take you far from the cynics in this town
And kiss you on the mouth
We'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change,
We'll give ourselves new names (identities erased)
The sun will hear the grounds
Under our bare feet in this brand new colony
Everything will change

i don't believe there is such a thing as being too busy to blog. haha. i suppose my frequent updates may make one presume tt i don't have much of a life, but i don't think so leh... and maybe i am a slacker and i don't study hard enough and i'm not focused or motivated enough... but it seems tt a lot of people read my blog anyway. so what does tt say about me? or you? just curious.
