a way to remember

…How I couldn’t be what you’d need…
But oh how I could make you bleed…

I know the border lines we drew between us
Keep the weapons down,
Keep the wounded safe;
I know our antebellum innocence
Was never meant to see the light of our armistice.
But how much would I give to have it back again?
How much did we lose
To live this way?

Antebellum, Vienna Teng

Just a snippet from one of my favorite songs from her newest record, Inland Territory.
