i put my lips to the ember
and kiss november goodbye
wipe the ashes from above
and watch the crash with my eyes
lyrics by (me)

sometimes it feels like life is lived in a constant state of "car-accident". you know, like that's the actual feeling: car accident. someone might say to you, "how are you feeling today?" and you would respond by shrugging your shoulders, pulling your lips slightly to the right, and letting the words fall out, "car-accident." you know that something else should go there, like "good" or "alright". but "car-accident" slips out.

everything is a blur with the beautiful ambient light of the sun going down for the entire season.

so i guess all that's left to do is unbuckle our so-called seat-belt and get out of the car. walk away from the crash site and embrace the beauty of a new 3-month era. breathe deep the cold air that infiltrates your lungs. why? because we can. and that, in and of itself, is reason to wipe our eyes and smile.
