coming soon. to an airport near you.

 









"the atlantic was born today and i'll tell you how.
the clouds above opened up and let it out.
i was standing on the surface on a perforated sphere
when the water filled every hole.
and thousands upon thousands made an ocean
making islands where no island should go.
oh no!
most people were overjoyed;
they took to their boats.
i thought it less like a lake
and more like a moat.
the rhythm of my footsteps
crossing flood lands to your door
have been silenced
forever more.
and the distance is quite simply
much too far for me to row
it seems farther than ever before.
oh no!
i need you so much closer.
i need you so much closer.
i need you so much closer.
i need you so much closer.
i need you so much closer.
i need you so much closer.
i need you so much closer.
i need you so much closer.
i need you so much closer.
i need you so much closer.
i need you so much closer.
i need you so much closer.
so come on, come on.
so come on. come on.
so come on, come on.
so come on, come on."
-death cab.  aka my lifeline for the last 18 months.
