You’ll Be Bright: By Cloud Cult

All the things you’ll love,
All the things that may hurt you,
All the things you shouldn’t do,
And all the things you want to…
They’re calling your name…travel safely.

Every first kiss, every crisis, every heartbreak and every act of kindness…
They’re calling your name…travel safely.

Every empire, every monument, every masterpiece and every invention,
They’re calling your name…travel safely.

I found stars on the tip of your tongue.
You speak Poltergeist, so do I. So do I.

What comes will come.
What goes will go.
The wind will blow where the wind is blowing.
Let go of where you think you’re going.
We’ll never know why it flows where it’s flowing.

We’ve always been what we will always be.
I’m so convinced we have to get there, we can part the sea.
So bring the dead to life, turn your blood to wine.
All your life you have waited for this moment to arrive.

And you’ll be bright.

So you found the lock
But not the key that college brings
And all the trouble of a B.A. in English literature
Instead of law or something more practical

You traded all your time for money and the blues
But no trust fund or daddy doctor
What do you have to prove?

So you found your joy on Saturdays
With friends and film
Fingering your girlfriend
Your father’s pride was beaming
When you bought your first home in Garden City

Stability outwins fashion or attitude
Long sober walks upstate
You don’t miss a thing, do you?

So you found the lock
But not the key that college brings
And all the trouble of a B.A. in English literature
Instead of law or something more practical

You traded all your time for money and the blues
But no trust fund or daddy doctor
What do you have to prove?

Apparently I post a lot of photos on tumblr now.  Lindsay and I at academic awards day today. I won excellence in a senior project, and Lindsay won the outstanding scholarship award in Education. We feel as though we are ultimate grand supreme.

  But in her web she still delights

  To weave the mirror’s magic sights,

  For often thro’ the silent nights

  A funeral, with plumes and lights,

  And music, went to Camelot:

  Or when the moon was overhead,

  Came two young lovers lately wed;

  “I am half-sick of shadows,” said

  The Lady of Shalott.
