bless, ohh


and if it's an illusion, i don't want to wake up

i'm gonna hang on to it

because the alternative is an abyss, is just a hole, a darkness, a nothingness

who wants that? you know? so that's what i think about control

and that's my story, and i'm stickin' to it

that was beautiful mommy, that was perfect


keep playing.

love, emma
