Well this has been an interesting week/weekend. Not only is my mom depressed but it turns out my dad is too. She told me he asked her for a divorce on monday. I can't help but contemplate the tenderness of the adolesence I've been clinging onto. Goodbye youth. The thread was continuosly tugged on, I couldn't help but pick at it, and so the blankey of childhood is nothing more then shreds. A few scraps of random memories. I feel like i never even experienced it the sweet taste in my mouth has been bitter for so long i can't even remember if it was ever anything but bitter. Wasn't everthing so much brighter and livelier? I wish i could remember but now everything is so bleak and dimly lit like candle light filtered through the fingers of a hand searching for warmth. Everything is so cold, my eyes hurt from squinting through this weak light and my hands are still freezing and numb. MGMT's time to pretend pretty much captures my thoughts on childhood and the innocence i wish i could return to. It's one of my favorite new songs you should check out the video too.

sorry puella. sounds like you've got it rough these days. MGMT helps me through stuff as well....but when all seems lost, realize you've got friends all over. And you seem strong on your own as well. Bitter is not a favorable flavor- don't let the big men get you down.
The point of this song tho is also that most of these things (drugs, chicks) whatever, don't really make them whole in the end...or at least I think so. They live extreme and kind of knock it as it is all pretend....
