Daughter - Youth

Shadows settle on the place, that you left
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time
From the perfect start to the finish line
And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong
We are the reckless
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there
And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone
We're setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home
It was a flood that wrecked this
And you caused it
And you caused it
And you caused it
Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette
A lifeless face that you'll soon forget
My eyes are damp from the words you left
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest
And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone
Setting fire to our insides for fun
To distract our hearts from ever missing them
But I'm forever missing him
And you caused it
And you caused it
And you caused it

Out of Love - Air Supply

pinterest Julia Mint To you with the broken heart I'm lying alone with my head on the phone Thinking of you till it hurts  I know you hurt too but what else can we do Tormented and torn apart I wish I could carry your smile and my heart  For times when my life seems so low It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you I know you were right believing for so long I'm all out of love, what am I without you I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong I want you to come back and carry me home Away from this long lonely nights I'm reaching for you , are you feeling it too Does the feeling seem oh so right And what would you say if I called on you now And said that I can't hold on There's no easy way, it gets harder each day Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone I'm all out of love, I'm so lost ...

Tragedi Americano

 Tadi malam, aku membantu Ibu menguleni adonan pempek. Sudah lama sekali Ibu tidak membuat makanan khas Palembang yang dulunya selalu jadi cemilan tiap akhir pekan bagi keluargaku. Kali ini, Ibu membuat porsi yang cukup banyak. Aku sampai mengira Ibu akan berjualan pempek melihat banyaknya adonan yang harus aku bentuk. Aku segera mengenakan celemek dan mulai mengasah skill seniku.  Setelah hampir satu jam membulat-bulatkan adonan pempek, aku mendengar bunyi bel rumah. Ibu terlalu sibuk menelepon temannya sampai tidak menyadari ada tamu. Ketika aku hendak berdiri, aku melihat kakakku berjalan dengan gontai menuju pintu depan. Aku kembali fokus membentuk adonan pempek dan Ibu sudah selesai menelepon dan kembali ke dapur meracik bumbu cuko.  "Huh, banyaknyo." Ujarku sambil menirukan logat Palembang.  "Ayo cepat lanjutkan, kamu mau makan pempek, kan?" Aku hanya tersenyum getir ke arah Ibu.  Tanpa kusadari, kakakku sudah berada di dapur. Suara langkah kakinya lemas s...

Rayuan Sore kepada Laut

Image
     Namaku Laut, mataku sebiru samudera dengan tatapan selembut langit senja. Rambutku menggelung seperti ombak. Mereka bilang, tatapanku seteduh senja di Pantai Barat pulau ini. Senyumku kian merekah tak pernah meninggalkan wajahku, karena itu mereka memanggilku, 'Si Pemilik Hati Sehangat Butiran Pasir Pantai'      Raga ku beserta jiwaku menyatu di pantai dan di sinilah hatiku hancur berkeping-keping, berserakan terombang-ambing di laut biru. Aku mengenal dua lelaki bernama Samudera dan Sore. Samudera selalu datang memecah suasana, merubah dirinya menjadi ombak. Sore datang dan akan kembali pada waktu yang tepat. Ia telah membangun batu pemecah ombak untuk menjaga pasir-pasir hatiku dari dinginya air laut. source: we heart it
