10. because it reminds me of earth wallowing & purging

a song by Elliot Smith, "A Fond Farewell"



like watching yourself self-destruct through addiction because life's demands are killing every last bit of humanity inside -- and sitting in the room numb is you mourning, delaying the inevitable.

we as a species might make it. we might not. but we'll all sit in this living room until we decide:
embrace the heartlessness of our old life,
embrace the fear of our new, maybe desolate, life,
or
embrace the deadening of our delayed choice.

rather speaks to the past few months of the world on fire. enjoy!
