Closer. it was like evangelion revisited. dark, cynical, twisted, snarling at you with every twist. yet behind it - beautiful, reassuring, real and brilliantly crafted. its ranked one of my favourites already. i guess maybe in part because i could relate to the characters, probably strumming a chord on my heartstring, pulling me back into a realm of intense reflection of how love always seems to end in a brutal exchange of raw honesty.

how far will you go to hurt someone before you hurt yourself?

I guess the closer love gets, the closer you are to its hurt, icy cold spells that tear you apart and hopelessness that exist. Yet, the closer you are to this reality. You are also breathing next to this faceless optimism that it is better to hurt than not to have experienced the guilt of love at all.

if love is like cancer, in stages and until death pulls us apart. i guess i would be cradled in her infancy tonight, today.

tommorow....3 weeks, 3 months, a year ...

will we be strangers?

Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
