lorde sways in the living room, alone with her forest fire, the voice demanding more from her in every step

mitski's in nostalgia thick as molasses, dragging her poised feet through the sickly sweet longing of a beautiful moment never had

i move in my mind, rising like a phoenix but collapsing in my own flames, chest heaving and damp with cold sweat

as i dance to the beat of your words, i finally, truly realise that you never cared—you never cared as much as i needed you to

i change the song to my own, because your music was near silence, dull and never quite there for me

a magnificent, orchestral crescendo is on the horizon, simply waiting for the conductor's signal to begin

hey !! it's a been a while. i kept trying to write smth good and failing miserably so i decided to post smth i wrote back in february. also, the songs this references are liability by lorde and two slow dancers by mitski. lmk what u think, and have a nice day/evening/night y'all <3
