Apparently, not everyone understands my language except for my good friends and that took years of practice. I use it to invite people into my life but also keep others at a distance. I confuse people on purpose. My friend started writing about her first date experiences and her frankness really inspired me to be more upfront and honest with my thoughts and feelings. I am tired of keeping people at arm's length.

lyrics used to mean something

It cursed us all on our way home
We passed the sights like passing stones
And I will never go back there again
The tourists and the army men
The prostitutes this evening
Will start to sink under my skin
The dust and sand is what they sell
The flashing lights and ringing bells
A wish as far as I can tell
Inside this dried up wishing well
