Chronicles

Leonard and Keen,

'There is no remembrance of former things;
Neither shall there be any remembrance of things
That are to come with those that shall come after'

In graves there is only dust.

Happiness; a rare feeling imposed onto one
When God feels sorry for you.


-Oedipus

Out of Mind

You're there.
Staring me right in the face.
'Go on and take it.'
You finally want me.

But I can't
Because as much as I have wanted you,
For so long,
Now is too late
And I can't go back again.
Not back there.
Not anywhere.

You and I ended a long time ago
And now it's your turn to accept that I was never yours to begin with.


-Oedipus

Autumn Leaves

You caught the same tram as me,
But you got off a stop before I could get on.

You bought coffee from the same cafe as me,
But you finished yours before I got there.

You lived on the same street as me,
But you moved before I finished unpacking.

And now that i know these things,
As with all good things,
Everything would be so much better,
If you could only stay longer.


-Oedipus

Fire

I want you and me
to be happy.

I want you
and me
to be happy.

And some nights I can see it,
And it feels so good.

And some days I miss you.
Some days moreso than others I miss you.
Some days, I still think about you,
And me,
And us,
as both a collective and single word.

There isn't really any other point to this entry.
But I guess if anything,
I wish that I could say these things out loud
Instead of having to forget about it all.


-Oedipus

'You gave me something that I didn't have,
But had no use.'


-Oedipus

Easy

Today I found simplicty
In a song I loved but had forgotten,
In seeing a friend for lunch,
Indulging in Jazz
And in making my own breakfast for once.

Today I found simplicity,
And in doing so,
Found happiness.


-Oedipus

Eternal Sleep

I wrote this for you.
I wrote this for you.
I wrote this for you.

But I know you won't read it.


-Oedipus

Little Bit

'I think I'm a little bit,
Little bit,
A little bit in love with you.

But only if you're a little bit,
Little bit,
A little bit in love with me.'


-Oedipus

Pockets

Let me tell you a story
About my first love.

It went like this
Then it went like that
And then that was it.


-Oedipus

Inside

'It is better to be alone,
Than to be in bad company'

But on most days,
I would rather be alone.
Because I can't handle the fact
That I hate almost everyone that walks past me.


-Oedipus

Grenade

'Can I take you down?
I really wanna take you down.
I really wanna take you now.'


-Oedipus

Quiet City

I've found you again.
I hope you stay longer this time.


-Oedipus

Dirty Seconds

Get out of my fucking mind.
This place is mine, my own.
And you no longer belong here.

Jungle

If only I could say something filled with wisdom.
Something simple, but so complex at the same time.
It has to be filled with inspiration, and entirely coated with suspense.
It's got to make you think twice, do a double take.
But it has to be a lot bigger than that, so in a few years
You'll finally understand it.
Something that rolls off the tongue,
But the meaning of it simply sits at the tip.
(A sidenote; we like to use tongue metaphors too much)
It has to be witty and unique,
Like those genius boys who are nothing but smart alecs.
And it has to make you think it's about you,
When really, none of this ever was.


-Oedipus

Win

Spending my mornings looking up new inspiration
Instead of going to see my friend.

I cannot wait to design
And build
And make
And win awards
And draw
And design
And build
And make

This is the most casual post I've ever written

But here's the winning entry for the Mak Vertical Garden Competition in LA by Fletcher's Studio.

Imagine how long all that rendering would have taken.

Upside Down

I wish I had my own little monkey
To play guitar to.


-Oedipus

Untitled

I can control everything I want to.

It's just that I can't be bothered.
