“I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.”
A line from Arwen, to Strider, in the Peter Jackson fim adaptation of The Lord of the Rings Trillogy.
–
“I’ll tell you something right now
I’d rather burn my whole life down
Than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning
I’ll tell you something about my good name
It’s mine alone to disgrace
I don’t cater to all these vipers dressed in empath’s clothing
God save the most judgmental creeps
Who say they want what’s best for me
Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see
Thinking it can change the beat
Of my heart when he touches me
And counteract the chemistry
And undo the destiny
You ain’t gotta pray for me
Me and my wild boy
And all this wild joy
If all you want is gray for me
Then it’s just white noise
And it’s just my choice
There’s a lot of people in town that I
Bestow upon my fakest smiles
Scandal does funny things to pride
But brings lovers closer
We came back when the heat died down
Went to my parents and they came around
All the wine moms are still holding out
But it’s over.
Now I’m dancing in my dress in the sun and
Even my daddy just loves him
I’m his lady, and oh my God
They should see their faces
Time, doesn’t it give some perspective
No, they can’t come to the wedding
I know he’s crazy but he’s the one I want
I’ll tell you something right now you ain’t gotta pray for me
Me and my wild boy and all this wild joy…”
