Kinuko Craft — Mists of the Dusklands — 2010
oh Elise it doesn’t matter what you do, I know i’ll never really get inside of you…
to make your eyes catch fire the way they should.
The way the blue could pull me in…if they only would, if they only would
at least i’d lose this sense of sensing something else that hides away from me and you.
There’re worlds to part with aching looks and breaking hearts,
and all the prayers your hands can make,
0h i just take as much as you can throw…and then throw it all away
oh i throw it all away
like throwing faces at the sky, like throwing arms round yesterday.
I stood and stared
wide-eyed in front of you
and the face I saw looked back
the way I wanted to
but i just can’t hold my tears away
the way you do
Elise believe I never wanted this…
I thought this time i’d keep all of my promises.
I thought you were the girl always dreamed about…
but I let the dream go, and the promises broke and the make-believe ran out…
You could stay and watch me fall
And of course I’ll ask for help
Just stay with me now
Take my hand
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me…
I hate being jarred awake from a dream that is so real…you were just here. I could touch you, smell you, see your smile…you were real, it was real, not this-this can’t be real.
And then I woke…even then I carried the sadness around, just over my shoulder all day. Like something you were going to say, but forgot…I preferred the dream, I wish to sleep…
If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.
