— alone apart - the swell seasonhow many times have i been here?
how many times i’d be lost?
and how many times i’d be drowned in the sea
if you weren’t there to rescue me?we’re sailing, sailing every night
we’re drifting, drifting alone apart
not to show that we’re in need
but i’d heal your wounds if you bleedhow many times have i hurt you?
how many times have you?
and how many times i’d been on my knees
begging, begging please forgive me?we’re sailing, sailing every night
we’re drifting, drifting alone apart
not to show that we’re in need
but i’d heal your wounds if you bleedthank you for being so patient with me
i’ve been weaker than i ought to be
despair and jealousy blinded my mind
and i couldn’t see how you’re trying for me
lauren o’connell singing “flint (for the unemployed and underpaid)” originally by sufjan stevens. it’s a song from an album that speaks of michigan’s true spirit and issues…an album that always causes me to stop and think about how my favourite state is doing. lauren does an incredible job covering this.

i was a hit last night. my two favourite parts: walking past a guy who stops me and says, “hey, you have syphilis.” and having someone behind me see all the blood on my dress and go, “who did you kill?” so i turned around to answer and they screamed. best. halloween. ever.
so is the guy who sent me this, even if he can’t spell my last name.
