If you are going to believe anything in this world,
It's that everything has a 50% chance.
It either is, or it isn't.
It either lives or it doesn't.
It's either a sign or a coincidence.
It's never anything else.
And you can either agree with me, or disagree.


-Oedipus

Deep End

'I think I'm ready to change Leonard, I really think so.'
'But you can't change Keen, not until your one hundred percent sure.'
'But I need to change! We need me to change, and I know you know it. We're stuck here because of me. It's my fault. It's all my fault Leonard, and I need to fix it.'
'You can't just need or want it to change. You have to be ready for it, or else bad things can happen Keen. You know this.'
'Maybe we should ask the captain then...'
'Ask the captain?'
'Yes, why not give it a try Leonard?'
'But we can't ask her Keen.

She's gone.'


-Oedipus

Fill in

I close my eyes and I'm in Madrid, walking along the cobbled footpath, with red and yellow flags tied around my torso.

I blink for a second, and the enormity of Lake Geneva spills into my view.

And then I go to sleep, and all I dream about is...


-Oedipus

Rough Draft

'I'm breathing in your skin tonight.
Quiet is my loudest cry;
Wouldn't want to wake the eyes that make me melt inside.

And if it's easier to leave you be,
May your sickness come and set me free;
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me.'

All I can think of is the first night you stayed over.
And how much I just couldn't bring myself to wake you.
Why can't I let you go?


-Oedipus

Coke

'I don't even love you
We weren't even friends
It's just that I can't take it alone
I can't take it alone.

I hope I didn't just give away the ending.'


-Oedipus

Pandora's Box

Everything that has a beginning has an end.
And so it is, that everything that has an end, must begin again.

But what about something that never had a beginning,
Because you never gave it a chance?


-Oedipus

Intervention

Surrounded by darkness.
That's where the best people find themselves.

It doesnt do well to hope that you'll change when you wake up. It takes facing the unknown, where anything can happen - anytime and anywhere - to truly change.

Because to change completely requires you to break down what you know and build it back up again in a new way. And if you're not prepared for that, then there's no chance of it happening at all.


-Oedipus

Agoraphobia

We're all telling ourselves to never be trapped in boxes.
To break out of the mould,
Break free.

But how is it that we can't even cross the lines?
White, yellow, red painted lines on the ground.
We were never 3D to begin with.
Perhaps everything is mapped out for us after all.

Welcome to life and its eternally line-defined rule.


-Oedipus

Plausable Deniability

Driving by the place I shared my first kiss;

Jesus Christ I miss you.



-Oedipus

Insight

Repeat after me: I am free.

But you're not.
You're not free.
How could you be?

That's the hard part.
But I'll give you a hint;
Go on and do it,
Break through it all,
And I'll meet you on the other side.


-Oedipus

Trainspotting

Morning train rides, stuck with people I'm not going to remember in a few minutes.
I can't help but indulge in some fantasy of heroes and villains.

Which one of us woke up choosing to be the villain today?

It's a simple choice really.
But it's one we have to make every morning.


-Oedipus

Drive Away

I'm yours.
Tell me that you're all mine.


-Oedipus

Cloud Watching

I don't know where you came from.
I don't know what you've seen.
I don't know what your story is.
I don't know how you got here.

But right now you're in my world,
stunning and beautiful in your entirety.

I don't know how long I'll have you,
And I don't care.
Just let me remember this moment please?


-Oedipus
