Ever since I could remember,
everything inside of me,
Just wanted to fit in (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh).
I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn't settle in (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh).
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
and if I seemed dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me......
I'm only a man with a chamber who's got me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide? (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh).
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made it's home inside. (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh).
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
and if I seemed dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me...

[Imagine Dragons - Monster]
Long time...?
...kiddo, you have no idea...
Let me take you aside,
to step aside and step inside...
to wind around the back of eternity with me?
Sounds good...
doesn't it?
But what does it take,
for a hop, skip and a jump around fate?
Step into the waters...
feel them wind about your feet,
watch the girl with the cornsilk hair...
with blue and sand rushing about her feet,
Listen to the wail of the seagull...
and the grey hammering its' way through the hollows in rocks,
sounds that echo out from a thousand caverns...
made tiny by the erosion of ten thousand centuries,
of waves and beating and waaves...
we wave,
goodbye as the ship sets sail...
for untold shores.
We polish the shells we collect every day,
with the tears we shed every night...
for we dance and we dance,
till our shoes are worn to wisp...
and we are walking on bare bone,
tonight.
I listen to the breeze...
and I listen to the silence,
now and again...
and I hear the static,
cold and clear in my head...
and the limbs that move in that wavering fear,
reaching out across airways...
and attics and beneath archways,
below doorways and nooks and crannies...
have you ever been in a nook?
have you ever been in a crannie?
The wind it howls...
the wind it screams,
around you and me...
Follow me across the dead leaves and moss,
and through the strange sounds creeping with the breeze...
we hear our true name,
through this forest of decay...
we can feel our feet and our souls,
being devoured by the acid here...
it eats away at the walls of our mind,
until all that is left trembles or fights...
and so we fight,
and scream and rage...
as the day reaches further around us,
its' arms like spindles and spiders...
and we toil and gain,
greed slathering diamonds upon our teeth...
to recall our name and rejoice in our shadow,
and fame...
while meanwhile our bones melt,
and we can no longer run...
and finally we embrace the gold at its' end...
we pass through this forest,
this darkness...
this gloom,
and soon we are stepping out...
into a most peaceful kind of night,
and then first morning light.
I swam against a river,
I boarded a ferry covered in tea lights...
and set sail down its way,
as the ghosts creaked in the wood about...
and the carp nibbled away at our hull,
we hummed and drank...
glasses of light and warmth,
as the darkness huddled closer still...
and the heat of the day lingered in our blood,
upon our windowsill...
we were carried across a universe or two,
on a hundred different wings...
and a sail to guide us to you,
to the new...
where the lazy eye peers from wicker chairs beneath the sun,
and the sea whispers...
and the waves extend through our soul,
and we feel the sand moulding with our toes...
and a distant figure,
at the very farthest point of the beach...
waiting patiently for you there,
with a silent breath in...
you walk forward.
Hi there,
I have been away in the story DreamTime...listening to old rumours and memories. Even some echoes...at times. I felt fear the other week, and last night I was swept and torn away by the midnight wind: as I rode back home on my electric bike.
I have had to recreate my facebook account and everything else.
Of wondrous things...I went to Dracula's the other night with a friend. I dressed in my black corsette and wild-things skirt, laced heels and freaky hat. Also went crazy with the black garish warpaint on my face. Found the man in the red feathers and with brilliant eyes intriguing and went home drunk. Scared an old man in a nearby car by drinking the cocktail blood-bag I took home from Dracs... hehe...
I also finally got a medallion of my own.
Much Love,
Miss CLScarlett xx
