CASTLE.

‘  sick of all these people talking.  ’ ‘  sick of all this noise.  ’ ‘  tired of all these cameras flashing.  ’ ‘  sick of being poised.  ’ ‘  my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it.  ’ ‘  already choking on my pride.  ’ ‘  already choking on my pride, so there’s no use in crying about it.  ’ ‘  there’s no use in crying about it.  ’ ‘  they wanna make me their queen.  ’ ‘  i probably shouldn’t be so mean.  ’ ‘  i should probably keep my pretty mouth shut.  ’ ‘  sick of feeling used.  ’ ‘  if you wanna break these walls down, you’re gonna get bruised.  ’

HOLD ME DOWN.

‘  my demons are begging me to open up my mouth.  ’ ‘  they fight me, vigorous and angry.  ’ ‘  watch them pounce.  ’ ‘  ignite me.  ’ ’  i sold my soul to a three-piece.  ’ ‘  he told me i was holy.  ’ ‘  i sold my soul to a three-piece and he told me i was holy.  ’ ‘  he’s got me down on both knees, but it’s the devil that’s tryna hold me down.  ’ ‘  sneaking out the back door, make no sound.  ’ ‘  knock me out.  ’ ‘  i want more, this is what i live for.  ’ ‘  throw me in the deep end, watch me drown.  ’ ‘  selfish, taking what i want and call it mine.  ’ ‘  i’m helpless.  ’ ‘  i’m helpless clinging to a little bit of spine.  ’ ‘  they rush me, telling me i’m out of time.  ’

NEW AMERICANA.

‘  we were a community.  ’ ‘  they made me their leader when i never asked to be.  ’ ‘  the lightning in their eyes huddled me into whatever they needed me to become.  ’ ‘  we were hopeful we would win because nothing could scare us.  ’ ‘  we feared no man.  ’ ‘  turned dreams into an empire.  ’ ‘  survival of the richest.  ’ ‘  the city’s ours until the fall.  ’ ‘  we don’t feel like outsiders at all.  ’ ‘  we are the new americana.  ’ ‘  high on legal marijuana.  ’ ‘  some say he looks just like his father.  ’ ‘  he could never love somebody’s daughter.  ’ ‘  we know very well who we are.  ’ ‘  what kind of dough have you been spending?  ’ ‘  what kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?  ’

DRIVE.

‘  i can never keep my eyes off this.  ’ ‘  my neck, the feeling of your soft lips.  ’ ‘  all we do is drive.  ’ ‘  all we do is think about the feelings that we hide.  ’ ‘  all we do is sit in silence waiting for a sign.  ’ ‘  sick and full of pride.  ’ ‘  it never felt like home to me.  ’ ‘  hey, i was wondering if you wanna like… never mind.  ’ ‘  it’s bliss.  ’ ‘  it’s so simple, but we can’t stay.  ’ ‘  would it really kill you if we kissed?  ’

HURRICANE.

‘  i let him climb inside my body and held him captive in my kiss.  ’ ‘  there’s a storm you’re starting now.  ’ ‘  i’m a wanderess.  ’ ‘  i’m a one night stand.  ’ ‘  don’t belong to no city.  ’ ‘  don’t belong to no man.  ’ ‘  i’m the violence in the pouring rain.  ’ ‘  i’m a hurricane.  ’ ‘  i found myself reminded to keep you far away from me.  ’ ‘  baby, beggin’ you to save me.  ’ ‘  though lately, i like ‘em crazy.  ’ ‘  maybe you could devastate me.  ’ ‘  little lady, come and fade me.  ’

ROMAN HOLIDAY.

‘  do you remember the taste of my lips that night?  ’ ‘  i remember when my father put his fist through the wall.  ’ ‘  i remember the fear in your eyes.  ’ ‘  didn’t know where we were running to, but don’t look back.  ’ ‘  we know that we’re headstrong.  ’ ‘  our heart’s gone  ’ ‘  the timing’s never right.  ’ ‘  but for now, let’s get away.  ’ ‘  the timing’s never right, but for now let’s get away.  ’ ‘  i imagine the weight of your ribs if you lied between my hips in the backseat.  ’ ‘  i imagine the tears in your eyes.  ’ ‘  the very first night i’ll sleep without you.  ’ ‘  when it happens i’ll be miles away.  ’ ‘  didn’t know where i was running to, but i won’t look back.  ’ ‘  feet first, don’t fall.  ’ ‘  we’ll be running again.  ’ ‘  keep close, stand tall.  ’

GHOST.

‘  i’m searching for something that i can’t reach.  ’ ‘  i don’t like them innocent.  ’ ‘  i don’t want no face fresh.  ’ ‘  want them wearing leather.  ’ ‘  let me be your taste test.  ’ ‘  want them wearing leather, begging, let me be your taste test.   ’ ‘  i like the sad eyes, bad guys, mouth full of white lies.  ’ ‘  you say that you’re no good for me cause i’m always tugging at your sleeve.  ’ ‘  i swear i hate you when you leave.  ’ ‘  i swear i hate you when you leave, but i like it anyway.  ’ ‘  my ghost, where’d you go?  ’ ‘  i can’t find you in the body sleeping next to me.  ’ ‘  what happened to the soul that you used to be?  ’ ‘  you’re a rolling stone boy, never-sleep-alone boy.  ’ ‘  got a million numbers and they’re filling up your phone, boy.  ’ ‘  i’m off the deep end, sleeping all night through the weekend.  ’ ‘  i love him, but i know i’m gonna leave him.  ’

COLORS.

‘  your little brother never tells you but he loves you so.  ’ ‘  you’re only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope.  ’ ‘  i’ll hope you make it to the day you’re twenty-eight years old.  ’ ‘  you’re dripping like a saturated sunrise.  ’ ‘  you’re spilling like an overflowing sink.  ’ ‘  you’re ripped at every edge, but you’re a masterpiece.  ’ ‘  everything is blue.  ’ ‘  now i’m covered in the colors, pulled apart at the seams.  ’ ‘  everything is grey.  ’ ‘  he’s so devoid of color he don’t know what it means.  ’ ‘  you were a vision in the morning when the light came through.  ’ ‘  i know i’ve only felt religion when i’ve lied with you.  ’ ‘  you’ll never be forgiven till your boys are too.  ’ ‘  i’m still waking every morning, but it’s not with you.  ’ ‘  you were red and you liked me because i was blue.  ’ ‘  but you touched me and suddenly i was a lilac sky then you decided purple just wasn’t for you.  ’

STRANGE LOVE.

‘  everybody wants to know if we fucked on the bathroom sink.  ’ ‘  everybody wants to know how your hands felt in my hair.  ’ ‘  everybody wants to know if we were high on amphetamines.  ’ ‘  everybody wants to hear how we chain smoked until three.  ’ ‘  everybody wants to hear how you laughed when you said my name.  ’ ‘  everybody wants to hear how you gripped my hips so mean.  ’ ‘  we wrote a story in the fog on the windows that night.  ’ ‘  the ending is the same every damn time.  ’ ‘  they think i’m insane.  ’ ‘  they think my lover is strange.  ’ ‘  i don’t have to fucking tell them anything.  ’ ‘  i’m gonna write it all down.  ’ ‘  i don’t have to fucking tell you anything.  ’ ‘  that’s the beauty of a secret, you know you’re supposed to keep it.  ’ ‘  everybody’s waiting up to hear if i dare speak your name.  ’ ‘  everybody wants to know about how it felt to hear you scream.  ’ ‘  they know you walk like you’re a god.  ’ ‘  they can’t believe i made you weak.  ’ ‘  these days i can’t seem to get along with anyone.  ’ ‘  these days i can’t seem to make this right.  ’ ‘  well, is this fine? will i be alright?  ’

COMING DOWN.

‘  i found god.  ’ ‘  i found god, i found him in a lover.  ’ ‘  i found god, i found him in a lover when his hair falls in his face and his hands so cold they shake.  ’ ‘  i found the devil.  ’ ‘  i found the devil, i found him in a lover.  ’ ‘  i found the devil, i found him in a lover and his lips like tangerines in his color-coded speak.  ’ ‘  now we’re lost somewhere in outer space in a hotel where demons play.  ’ ‘  we roll around beneath these sheets.  ’ ‘  i’ve got a lover.  ’ ‘  i’ve got a lover, a love like religion.  ’ ‘  i’m such a fool for sacrifice.  ’ ‘  he’s coming down.  ’ ‘  i’ve got a lover and i’m unforgiven.  ’ ‘  i’m such a fool to pay this price.  ’ ‘  i found a martyr.  ’ ‘  i found a martyr, he told me i’d never with his educated eyes and his head between my thighs.  ’ ‘  i found a savior, i don’t think he remembers.  ’ ‘  he’s off to pay his crimes.  ’ ‘  he’s got no time for me.  ’ ‘  every single night pray the sun will rise.  ’ ‘  every single time make a compromise.  ’

HAUNTING.

‘  keep on haunting me.  ’ ‘  i was as pure as a river, but now i think i’m possessed.  ’ ‘  you put a fever inside me and i’ve been cold since you left.  ’ ‘  i’ve got a boyfriend now.  ’ ‘  i’ve got a boyfriend now and he’s made of gold.  ’ ‘  you’ve got your own mistakes.  ’ ‘  i’m hoping you could save me now.  ’ ‘  you’ve got a fire inside, but your heart’s so cold.  ’ ‘  i’ve done some things that i can’t speak.  ’ ‘  i’ve tried to wash you away, but you won’t leave.  ’ ‘  won’t you take a breath and dive in deep?  ’ ‘  i came here so you’d come for me.  ’ ‘  i’m begging you to keep on haunting me.  ’ ‘  i know you’re gonna keep on haunting me.  ’ ‘  you weren’t looking for me.  ’

GASOLINE.

‘  are you insane like me?  ’ ‘  have you been in pain like me?  ’ ‘  have you bought a hundred dollar bottle of champagne like me just pour that motherfucker down the drain like me?  ’ ‘  would you use your water bill to dry the stain like me?  ’ ‘  are you high enough without the mary jane like me?  ’ ‘  do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me?  ’ ‘  do the people whisper about you on the train like me?  ’ ‘  you shouldn’t waste your pretty face.  ’ ‘  you can’t wake up, this is not a dream.  ’ ‘  you’re part of a machine.  ’ ‘  you are not a human being.  ’ ‘  low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline.  ’ ‘  i think there’s a flaw in my code.  ’ ‘  these voices won’t leave me alone.  ’ ‘  my heart is gold.  ’ ‘  my hands are cold.  ’ ‘  my heart is gold and my hands are cold.  ’ ‘  are you deranged like me?  ’ ‘  are you strange like me?  ’ ‘  are you lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?  ’ ‘  do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me?  ’ ‘  you’ll never take the blame like me.  ’

CONTROL.

‘  they send me away.  ’ ‘  the house was awake, the shadows and monsters.  ’ ‘  the hallways, they echo like gold.  ’ ‘  i sat alone in bed till the morning.  ’ ‘  they’re coming for me.  ’ ‘  i tried to hold these secrets inside me.  ’ ‘  my mind’s like a deadly disease.  ’ ‘  i’m bigger than my body.  ’ ‘  i’m colder than this home.  ’ ‘  i’m meaner than my demons.  ’ ‘  i’m bigger than these bones.  ’ ‘  please stop, you’re scaring me.  ’ ‘  i can’t help this awful energy.  ’ ‘  goddamn right, you should be scared of me.  ’ ‘  who is in control?  ’ ‘  i paced around for hours on empty, i jumped at the slightest of sounds.  ’ ‘  i couldn’t stand the person inside me, i turned all the mirrors around.  ’ ‘  i turned all the mirrors around.  ’ ‘  i’m well acquainted with villains that live in my bed.  ’ ‘  they’ll never die when i’m dead.  ’

YOUNG GOD.

‘  baby girl, you know we’re gonna be legends.  ’ ‘  i’m a king and you’re a queen.  ’ ‘  we will stumble through heaven.  ’ ‘  if there’s a light at the end, it’s just the sun in your eyes.  ’ ‘  i know you wanna go to heaven, but you’re human tonight.  ’ ‘  do you feel like a young god?  ’ ‘  you know the two of us are just young gods.  ’ ‘  they’re running, running, running again.  ’ ‘  baby girl, don’t get cut on my edges.  ’ ‘  i’m the king of everything.  ’ ‘  my tongue is a weapon.  ’ ‘  there’s a light in the crack that’s separating your thighs.  ’ ‘  if you wanna go to heaven, you should fuck me tonight.  ’

BONUS: IS THERE SOMEWHERE.

‘  light up one and hand it over.  ’ ‘  rest your head upon my shoulder.  ’ ‘  i just wanna feel your lips against my skin.  ’ ‘  this is right where it begins.  ’ ‘  your lips hang heavy underneath me.  ’ ‘  i promised myself i wouldn’t let you complete me.  ’ ‘  i’m trying not to let it show that i don’t wanna let this go.  ’ ‘  i don’t wanna let this go.  ’ ‘  is there somewhere you can meet me?  ’ ‘  you clutched my brain and eased my ailing.  ’ ‘  your girl’s got red in her cheeks ‘cause we’re something she can’t see.  ’ ‘  you’re stuck in my brain.  ’ ‘  all i do is cry and complain because second’s not the same.  ’ ‘  all i do is cry and complain.  ’ ‘  second’s not the same.  ’ ‘  i’m sorry but i fell in love tonight.  ’ ‘  i didn’t mean to fall in love tonight.  ’ ‘  you’re looking like you fell in love tonight.  ’ ‘  could we pretend that we’re in love?  ’

BONUS: EMPTY GOLD.

‘  i must confess how hard i tried to breathe through the trees of loneliness.  ’ ‘  you must confess how hard you need to see through the heart beating out of my chest.  ’ ‘  feel like we’ve been falling down like those autumn leaves.  ’ ‘  baby, don’t let the winter come. don’t let our hearts freeze.  ’ ‘  if the morning light don’t steal your soul, we will walk away from empty gold.  ’ ‘  we’re the underdogs in this world alone.  ’ ‘  i’m a believer, got a fever running through my bones.  ’ ‘  they can throw their stones.  ’ ‘  they can’t break our hearts.  ’ ‘  they won’t take our souls.  ’

BONUS: TROUBLE.

BACK TO YOU. 

‘  let a couple years water down how i’m feeling about you.  ’

‘  i gotta convince myself i don’t want it even though i do.  ’

‘  you could break my heart in two.  ’

‘  you could break my heart in two, but when it heals, it beats for you.  ’

‘  i know it’s forward, but it’s true.  ’

‘  i wanna hold you when i’m not supposed to.  ’

‘  you’re stuck in my head and i can’t get you out.  ’

‘  if i could do it all again i know i’d go back to you.  ’

‘  we never got it right.  ’

‘  what’s the point in hiding?  ’

‘  everybody knows we got unfinished business.  ’

‘  this isn’t what it could be.  ’

‘  it’s just a thing you make me do.  ’

‘  i could fight, but what’s the use?  ’

‘  you know i’d go back to you.  ’

LOVELY.

‘  thought i found a way out.  ’

‘  you never go away.  ’

‘  thought i found a way out, but you never go away.  ’

‘  i guess i gotta stay now.  ’

‘  i hope some day i’ll make it out of here.  ’

‘  need a place to hide, but i can’t find one near.  ’

‘  isn’t it lovely, all alone.  ’

‘  tear me to pieces.  ’

‘  hello, welcome home.  ’

‘  something’s on my mind.  ’

START AGAIN.

‘  can’t i just turn back the clock?  ’

‘  i just wanna roll my sleeves up and start again.  ’

‘  i know that i messed it up time and time again.  ’

‘  i swear i was looking for disaster.  ’

‘  just because i come home after doesn’t mean you’ll take me in.  ’

‘  my world is spinning like it just might explode.  ’

‘  i need to see some light come in.  ’

‘  feeling like maybe i’m unappreciated.  ’

‘  feeling like my presence in your life has been alleviated.  ’

‘  i feel like everything i’ve done before is different now.  ’

‘  you never knew it ‘cause i never showed you.  ’

‘  you gave me the world, so i feel i owed you.  ’

‘  i promise that we’re gonna make it somehow.  ’

‘  open up your mind and maybe we could start again.  ’

FALLING SKIES.

‘  even though the sky is falling down, don’t let me go.  ’

‘  don’t let me go.  ’

‘  i don’t want to die.  ’

‘  i don’t want to fight.  ’

‘  i have never seen the person you are perceiving.  ’

‘  i don’t wanna be alone when i start breathing.  ’

‘  so tell me, what does it matter?  ’

‘  right now you are my only hope.  ’

‘  it’s only you and me.  ’

‘  hold me close, don’t let me go.  ’

‘  let’s smoke a cigarette before the world explodes.  ’

‘  dying by your side, what a heavenly way to die.  ’

‘  we are in the middle of a fucked up crazy design.  ’

‘  stand by my side.  ’

‘  there’s no way to control it.  ’

‘  we might as well be holding each other.  ’

THE NIGHT WE MET.

‘  i’ve been searching for a trail to follow again.  ’

‘  take me back to the night we met.  ’

‘  then i can tell myself what the hell i’m supposed to do.  ’

‘  then i can tell myself not to ride along with you.  ’

‘  i had all and then most of you, some and now none of you.  ’

‘  i don’t know what i’m supposed to do.  ’

‘  haunted by the ghost of you.  ’

‘  i don’t know what i’m supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you.  ’

‘  your eyes were filled with tears.  ’

‘  when you had not touched me yet.  ’

TANGLED UP.

‘  i just think about you.  ’

‘  got me wondering why we never tried again.  ’

‘  i can’t live without you.  ’

‘  i’m starting to find this is a fight i can never win.  ’

‘  i can’t get you off my mind.  ’

‘  you do this to me every night.  ’

‘  we’re wasting time.  ’

‘  go on without me.  ’

‘  it feels like a bad dream.  ’

‘  let me love.  ’

‘  i need us.  ’

‘  on and on it goes now that i’m alone.  ’

‘  let me run.  ’

‘  i get myself all tangled up.  ’

TIME.

‘  i wish i could’ve turned the clocks around.  ’

‘  the weight of the world is pulling me down.  ’

‘  everything was easy.  ’

‘  you don’t know what you got until you fall to the ground.  ’

‘  i can’t sleep at night.  ’

‘  are we breaking down?  ’

‘   i never thought i would want us to turn back around. ’

‘  are we out of time?  ’

‘  we’ve come so far.  ’

‘  i wish i could’ve seen the stars align.  ’

‘  it was never gonna happen any other time.  ’

‘  everything was easy when i didn’t know you.  ’

‘  you don’t know what you got until it’s gone into the blue.  ’

MY KIND OF LOVE.

‘  she thinks i’ve got a heart of stone because i left her all alone.  ’

‘  i’ve got a heart of stone.  ’

‘  i left her all alone, lonely tonight.  ’

‘  she thinks i’m gonna break her heart, i tell her that i’m not, but maybe she’s right.  ’

‘  maybe she’s right.  ’

‘  i know i can’t hold you like he does.  ’

‘  i don’t have those emotions in me.  ’

‘  it’s true, i can’t love you like he does.  ’

‘  i can’t love you like he does, but it’s my kind of love.  ’

‘  i’ll show you love.  ’

‘  she thinks i’m just an animal.  ’

‘  i’ll throw this thing we have into the fire.  ’

‘  she tells me that i will die alone.  ’

‘  my kind of love, it’s a deeper love.  ’

‘  it’s a darker love, my kind of love.  ’

YOUR LOVE.

‘  you say you’ll take me higher than i’ve been.  ’

‘  it was a feeling i never wanna live in.  ’

‘  holding on you anyway.  ’

‘  i’m trying to stop the heartache.  ’

‘  i don’t want your love.  ’

‘  i don’t want your love if you can breathe without it.  ’

‘  i don’t want your love if you don’t dream about it.  ’

‘  i won’t be the one if you don’t want me to.  ’

‘  i don’t want the way you feel about me.  ’

‘  i don’t wanna stay if you can be free without me.  ’

‘  don’t wanna give it up if you can’t give it back.  ’

‘  i never was a dreamer, never wanted to pretend.  ’

‘  when the night comes i still feel you.  ’

‘  in my dreams, you never end.  ’

‘  i want you to be with me.  ’

‘  i want you to be free.  ’

‘  i want you to remember that i don’t want you to fall.  ’

THE KILLING MOON.

‘  under the blue moon i saw you.  ’

‘  soon you’ll take me up in your arms.  ’

‘  too late to beg you or cancel.  ’

‘  i know it must be the killing time.  ’

‘  fate, up against your will.  ’

‘  he will wait until you give yourself to him.  ’

‘  so cruelly you kissed me.  ’

‘  your lips a magic world.  ’

‘  the killing moon will come too soon.  ’

PROMISE NOT TO FALL.

‘  you’ve got your back against the wall.  ’

‘  everything is your fault.  ’

‘  you promise not to fall.  ’

‘  you said yo were.  ’

‘  promise me to call it off.  ’

‘  i’m feeling things so be sure.  ’

‘  promise me it will all be good.  ’

‘  does this feel good to you?  ’

‘  you promised not to fall, didn’t you?  ’

‘  we finally struck a line.  ’

‘  i can see in the darkness there in your eyes.  ’

‘  you’re pretending that it’s all fine.  ’

SANCTIFY.

‘  i’m the one who knows who you are.  ’

‘  give me your confession.  ’

‘  life’s been tearing you apart.  ’

‘  i know how it can hurt.  ’

‘  don’t break.  ’

‘  sanctify my body with pain.  ’

‘  sanctify the love that you crave.  ’

‘  i won’t be ashamed.  ’

‘  you don’t have to be straight with me.  ’

‘  i see what’s underneath your mask.  ’

‘  i’m a man like you.  ’

‘  there’s fire in you.  ’

‘  you know it’s gonna hurt.  ’

‘  you’ll find redemption when all this is through.  ’

‘  forgive me for finding the truth.  ’

‘  love takes it toll on me.  ’

‘  i’m just like you.  ’

‘  maybe it’s heavenly.  ’

SOUVENIR.

‘  it’s so hard.  ’

‘  it’s leading me astray.  ’

‘  it’s my creation.  ’

‘  you’ll understand.  ’

‘  it’s not important now.  ’

‘  all i need is coordination.  ’

‘  i can’t imagine my destination.  ’

‘  ask my opinion.  ’

‘  no excuse.  ’

‘  my feelings still remain.  ’

WATCH ME BLEED.

‘  heaven comes to he who waits.  ’

‘  i know i’m getting nowhere.  ’

‘  all the deeds of yesterday have really helped to pave my way.  ’

‘  there’s no one near me now.  ’

‘  watch me bleed.  ’

‘  although my face is straight, it lies.  ’

‘  my body feels the pain and cries.  ’

‘  i am full, but feeling empty.  ’

‘  i’ll hide my pain.  ’

‘  i won’t complain.  ’

‘  i’ll lie right back and take the blame.  ’

‘  i try to tell myself i’m living.  ’

‘  where do i go?  ’

‘  where do i run?  ’

‘  what’s left of me or anyone when we’ve denied the hurting?  ’

FALLING (IN DREAMS).

‘  i never would have told you.  ’

‘  i will not forget it as long as i live.  ’

‘  i will not forget something that i cannot forgive.  ’

‘  i’ve gone far enough.  ’

‘  it’s your time.  ’

STRENGTH.

‘  give me love.  ’

‘  give me hope.  ’

‘  give me strength.  ’

‘  give me someone to live for.  ’

‘  who will light the fire that i need to survive?  ’

‘  who will be the life blood coursing through my veins?  ’

‘  i need someone i can depend on.  ’

‘  i’m a man of emotions who can’t hid the tears.  ’

‘  i’m a man of feeling who can’t hide the pain.  ’

‘  no one knows my name.  ’

‘  i’m at the point in my life where i need affection.  ’

‘  i need to know that i’m still alive.  ’

‘  open up a door and let me out of this place.  ’

‘  i’ve been caged up for so long.  ’

‘  i don’t know if i’m living or dying.  ’

“I’m so tired… ”

“I don’t want to be alone.”

“My hands are shaking.” 

“Don’t get up. I’m comfortable like this.”

“Please stay. I’d like some company.”

“Could I get a hug?”

“Would you pet my hair?”

“Will you sing something for me?”

“I just want to be close to someone for a little bit. Is that okay?”

“Can I lay my head in your lap?”

“You can touch my hair but don’t mess it up!”

“Here, lay down in my lap.”

“You know, you’re pretty comfy.”

“Come here, ya big lug/small fry.”

“Just take my hand. It’ll be better, I promise.”

“I’m not letting go.”

“I’ll hold you as long as you need.”

“It’s okay to stay, you know.”

“I’m so happy you’re here with me.”

TL:DR: I alone run 12 blogs with blog I run with one other person. In September I had a house fire and am technically homeless thus much of my absence is due to this fact alone. However most of my blogs now have minimal queues that post 5 times a day.
