He's a museum of things he'd like to forget

Hey Brother There’s an endless road to rediscover                                                                                                                                          Hey Sister                                                                                     Know the water’s sweet but blood is thicker                                                Oh, if the sky comes falling down                                     For you, there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do                               _______________________________

I may be willing to accept your identity, Freya. It doesn't mean I trust you. Then I will look forward to earning that trust.

for all the bullshit we've been through

‘  why  the  fuck  wouldn’t  you  say  something ?  ’

‘  please ,  don’t  abandon  me .  ’

‘  i  cannot  spend  another  night  in  this  home .  ’

‘  what’s  the  difference  when  you  beg  for  love ?  ’

‘  this  is  a  wasteland .  ’

‘  we  fell  in  love  and  now  we’re  both  alone .  ’

‘  i  know  it’s  hard ,  but  who  are  you  to  fall  apart  on  me ?  ’

‘  i  still  think  you’re  beautiful .  ’

‘  i  don’t  ever  want  to  lose  my  best  friend .  ’

‘  i  hate  this  flavor  with  a  passion  and  i  fucking  hate  the  aftertaste .  ’

‘  how  does  it  feel ?  well ,  it  feels  like  i’m  on  fire .  ’

‘  wake  up ,  i  know  you  can  hear  me .  ’

‘  i  bet  you  never  had  a  friday  night  like  this .  ’

‘  so  sick  of  playing ,  i  don’t  want  this  anymore .  ’

‘  the  thought  of  you’s  no  fucking  fun .  ’

‘  you  want  a  martyr ,  i’ll  be  one .  ’

‘  enough’s  enough ,  we’re  done .  ’

‘  i  don’t  wanna  feel  a  thing  anymore .  ’

‘  i  know  you  well ,  but  this  ain’t  a  game .  ’

‘  dying  is  a  gift ,  so  close  your  eyes  and  rest  in  peace .  ’

‘  do  you  know  i  count  your  heartbeats  before  you  sleep ?  ’

‘  i  really  hope  you  enjoy  the  show .  ’

‘  i  really  hope  you  enjoy  the  show  because  for  me  it’s  just  a  bad  day .  ’

‘  you  need  people  like  me  to  feel .  ’

‘  maybe  we’re  just  having  too  much  fun .  ’

‘  don’t  you  threaten  me  with  a  good  time .  ’

‘  i’m  sorry ,  i  can’t  see  that  you  truly  loved  me .  ’

‘  please  don’t  take  this  out  on  me .  ’

‘  you’re  the  only  thing  that’s  keeping  me  alive .  ’

‘  i’m  sorry ,  but  i’ve  made  up  my  mind .  ’

‘  you’re  about  to  miss  everything .  ’

‘  we’ve  got  poison  in  our  wells .  ’

‘  come  at  me  with  everything  you’ve  got .  ’

‘  when  i’m  sober  i  feel  pain .  ’

‘  separate  me  from  my  own  two  hands ,  i’ve  killed  so  many  times .  ’

‘  i’ve  killed  so  many  times .  ’

‘  i  can’t  save  the  world  from  the  creatures  that  won’t  die .  ’

‘  kinda  like  the  way  you  tell  me  “baby ,  please  come  home ” .  ’

‘  i  know  you’re  tortured  within .  ’

‘  i’ve  killed  so  many  times ,  but  i  can’t  save  the  world  from  the  creatures  that  won’t  die .  ’

‘  your  eyes  look  hungry  again .  ’

‘  i’ll  never  wander ,  my  friend .  ’

‘  am  i  the  only  one  that  thinks  that  you  should  stay  alive ?  ’

‘  please  don’t  be  afraid  of  me .  ’

‘  i  never  meant  to  hurt  you ,  no .  i  only  meant  to  do  this  to  myself .  ’

‘  let’s  go  in  style .  ’

‘  darling ,  it’s  cold  outside .  ’

‘  let’s  go  inside ,  it’ll  be  alright .  ’

‘  well ,  fuck ,  what  am  i  supposed  to  be ,  impressed ?  ’

‘  you’re  just  another  set  of  bones  to  lay  to  rest .  ’

‘  i  guess  it’s  time  to  say  goodnight ,  hope  you  had  a  really  good  time .  ’

‘  this  will  be  a  night  we  won’t  forget .  ’

‘  i  don’t  want  to  miss  when  you  cry .  ’

‘  it’s  good  enough  to  make  me  wanna  fall  in  love .  ’

‘  why  can’t  we  just  be  friends ? ’

‘  it’s  not  that  easy .  ’

‘  i  can’t  wait  to  see  your  brilliant  face .  ’

‘  can  you  come  over ?  i  got  something  to  tell  you  and  it  just  can’t  wait .  ’

‘  nightmares  no  longer  wait  for  sleep .  ’

‘  i  changed  your  mind  and  ended  up  here .  ’

‘  fine ,  maybe  i’ll  pretend  right  now .  ’

‘  i  swear  to  god ,  i’m  gonna  change  the  world .  ’

‘  i  promise  you  someday  we’ll  tell  ourselves  “ oh  my  god ,  this  is  paradise ”.  ’

‘  this  is  paradise  and  it’s  so  goddamn  good.  ’

‘  did  you  search  for  me ?  ’

‘  i’ve  been  up  here  so  long ,  i’m  going  crazy .  ’

‘  this  love  was  out  of  control .  where  did  it  go ?  ’

‘  now  don’t  be  crazy ,  yes  of  course ,  you  can  stay  here .  ’

‘  big  deal ,  i  guess  you’re  official .  ’

‘  i  only  said  it  because  i  know  what  it’s  like  to  feel  burned  out !  ’

‘  we’ve  all  been  there  sometimes .  ’

‘  tonight  i’ll  make  you  feel  beautiful  once  again .  ’

‘  darling ,  you’ll  be  okay .  ’

i often have these ideas that have no real origin, but i can actually tell you precisely why my brain wanted this: i was listening to "hey, soul sister" by train on a loop and i got thinking abt the fact that we really do just say "hey" for so many reasons. and i wanted to make that your thought of the evening! so happy november, bon appetit, wrap up warm, DO NOT ADD TO THIS LIST, and enjoy your writings!

[ GREETING ]: sender says "hey" as a greeting to the receiver.

[ ATTENTION ]: sender, having just noticed something strange or remarkable, calls for the receiver to get their attention.

[ REASSURE ]: in a bid to steady the unsettled receiver, the sender lightly says "hey" to help them calm down.

[ ANGER ]: the sender sharply snaps "hey" at the receiver, clearly angry about something the receiver has just done or had done in the past.

[ IDEA ]: having been presented with a predicament, the sender suddenly unravels a solution, introducing it to the receiver by saying "hey…".

[ GUILT ]: having just done something that they know the receiver won't be pleased with, the sender sheepishly greets them once they arrive to see the damage.

[ GOSSIP ]: the sender turns to face the receiver conspiratorially, clearly eager to share some new gossip with them.

[ URGENT ]: the sender rushes to the preoccupied receiver, desperately shouting "hey!" to get them to focus on a far more pressing matter.

[ SOOTHE ]: after finding the clearly distressed receiver, the sender pulls them into a careful embrace, gently murmuring "hey…" to try and soothe them.

[ SMILE ]: the sender (who hasn't been smiling up until they actually see the receiver in front of them) lights up with a smile as they greet the receiver.

[ TEARS ]: the sender greets the receiver while very clearly in tears.

[ FAKE ]: alternatively, the sender (who has just been crying in private) hastily wipes away their tears and tries to greet the receiver casually (to varying degrees of success).

[ WARNING ]: when the receiver begins to say things about subjects that are off-limits to the sender, the latter gives them a warning by saying "hey…".

[ LAUGH ]: having found the receiver to be decidedly unhappy, the sender lightly catches their attention before doing something to make them laugh, or at the very least, grin.

[ PROTEST ]: after the receiver does or says something that the sender deems to be unfair, the sender tries to exact justice by saying "hey!".

[ BREATHLESS ]: having clearly just sprinted down to the receiver, the sender tries to catch their breath while greeting them.

[ SAVE ]: after just saving the receiver's life in a very heroic fashion, the sender smoothly greets them while helping them escape.

[ FLIRT ]: the sender meets the receiver in a social setting, and attempts to flirt with them with the very traditional pick-up line: "hey.".

[ APOLOGY ]: the sender, having recently done something that hurt or upset the receiver, reunites with them and addresses the elephant in the room by greeting them with a sincerely apologetic tone.

[ AWKWARD ]: after a particularly rough first encounter, the sender meets the receiver again, and awkwardly greets them with more than a touch of embarrassment.

[ GENTLE ]: having found the receiver in an emotionally compromised position, the sender closes the door and approaches them carefully, gently saying "hey…" to try and get them to communicate what has upset them.

[ HARD ]: preparing to deliver what they both know will be bad news, the sender tries to prepare the receiver by quietly greeting them in a solemn tone.

[ WAKEN ]: walking into the receiver's bedroom, the sender gently shakes their shoulder to waken them, and whispers "hey." to encourage the process along.

i'll take that as an apology.

if you want to bed me, you have only to ask.

that's rather saucy of you, isn't it?

magic can kill. knives can kill. even small children, when launched at very fast speeds, can kill.

so let us pretend that i do, indeed, believe murder is wrong.

you say that like it's a bad thing.

why have we not made love as of yet?

how will you ever learn how to pleasure each other unless you talk about it?

it drives me mad with desire.

do i detect a bit of jealousy there? feeling territorial, are we?

sounds intriguing, if you ask me.

you get the most delightful wrinkle in your brow when you are curious.

shall i describe the rest of the ritual to you?

those stories you heard? all true.

i see where this is going. downhill. and quickly too.

you seem rather charmed by the idea.

i am willing to take my chances.

it is flattery only if i exaggerate the truth to please you. i am but stating a simple fact.

now i regret that extra pie at lunch.

so let me get this straight. you have... never wooed? not once? you are woo-less, as it were?

perhaps you have people you need killed.

i said no such thing.

politics and death go together like kisses and lovemaking.

you are... feeling all right, yes? perhaps you are tired?

one day you will realize that you have wasted your youth and beauty on bitterness and suspicion, mark my words.

i'm sorry... are you speaking to me?

does that make you jealous?

i admire you. you are a wicked, wicked woman.

i do not think you a fool. we are not so dissimilar, after all. i know what you are doing.

if you like, i could hoist you up on my back.

i don't go into forests as a rule.

i can think of many other things we can do other than sleep.

when the prey is caught, it deserves a good death, a clean death.

i am not permitted to tell you what they mean.

surely you can see i am serious now. i honestly wish to know.

didn't you desire companionship during those two years?

adventure has changed you.

so i imagine it has been some time for you.

i simply offer my services should you ever feel the need for... release.

has anyone told you what marvelous eyes you possess?

you should be admired by painters, copied by sculptors, exalted by poets.

i am so confused. i think i may cry. may i lay my head in your bosom?

i couldn't help hearing about your... predictament.

how could one kill such a creature without bedding it, first?

could you destroy something as pretty as i am?

one would have to be blind not to realize how very pretty we all are, and how important that is to preserve.

creating a new life can be a great deal of fun.

your form is wonderous, that's true.

i've thought about your predicament, my friend.

surely this must bring you discomfort, knowing you can never partake in such pleasures.

which girl? i saw many and i watched them all.

on second thought, i suppose it would be rude of me to intrude on another man's domain.

you are only slightly more attractive to me than a slime-filled pool of swamp water.

are you dispensing professional advice now?

and here i was becoming rather fond of the idea of you watching me closely.
