The Sky is Green

It's hard to not be stupid about things.

Maybe it's a survival mechanism, but there is some really stubborn part of people that doesn't allow them to let go, no matter how much reason tells them they should.

Probably playing Dolly Parton on repeat isn't much help either.

I've had to think up a way to survive
Since you said it's over
Told me good-bye
I just can't make it one day without you
Unless I pretend that the opposite's true
Rivers flow backwards
Valleys are high
Mountains are level
Truth is a lie
I'm perfectly fine
And I don't miss you
The sky is green
And the grass is blue

How much can a heart and a troubled mind take
Where is that fine line before it all breaks
Can one end their sorrow
Just cross over it
And into that realm of insanitive bliss

There's snow in the tropics
There's ice on the sun
It's hot in the Arctic
And crying is fun
And I'm happy now
And I'm glad we're through
And the sky is green
And the grass is blue

And the rivers flow backwards
And my tears are dry
Swans hate the water
And eagles can't fly
But I'm alright now
Now that I'm over you
And the sky is green
And the grass is blue
And I don't love you
And the grass is blue

Quote from the Summer

Remember when I worked at a children's bookstore?

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
-- G. K. Chesterton

A Lack of Logic

If anything, not that it's news, my one month sejour at the Senate has convinced me that people are hopelessly irrational.
