You say that my hair has started to feel like straw when it used to be so smooth. But you taught me to forgo all compassion.

Okay, I'll admit that you're painfully cute, and although it's worth tripping over my own intestines to run to you, there is only so much pain I can take.

Is this just the walk in the woods before you put the bullet in my brain? I think I'll kneel down to pick a flower for your hair and strain my flooding eyes wide open so I can stare right into yours as I die. Once bursting bubbles, thick and deep, coloured like Greek waves close to the shore in July, now rusted-over dirt, and cankerous, swollen blood clots.

The agnostic fireman soon became an atheist, and it's often the most bitter that spurn all hope for even the possibility of anything good.

It doesn’t matter how much you restrict the windows because I will be coming in. And if you shut them too tight, I’ll just break my ribs. That’s all.

It took me no time at all to understand
That there are seven days in a week
And twelve months in a year,
And how spring comes round again
Every three-hundred-and-something sleeps
It took me a little more time before
I fully grasped the lunar cycle
And why the summer lengths of 2006 and 2007 varied by about a quarter of an hour,
And why a day on Venus
Lasts longer than a Venus-year
But I still can never work out when you're going to call, and when you're not
So I spend my whole life waiting

Yeah, can I have your attention please? Due to problems in the Kings Cross area at present, this train will be terminating here. All passengers please use the Jubilee line services. Once again, all passengers please use the Jubilee line services from this station.

I have a blister on my toe for running to Vancouver in Converses, and it irks me that the curve of that blister is greater than the curve of your lips whenever I see you smile.

I was sitting there quietly waiting for you to speak your turn so I could steal more time to use my eyes to admire you in sparkling skin-tight navy jeans and a black shirt with the top three buttons undone and a fuchsia jumper, and play the part of the impassive listener so interested in what you had to say. But I just like your face and your accent beyond words. And when you say that your mother is fifty-four and still turns heads in the street, I begin to wonder if other people's heads turn to see you along with their hearts and lungs and stomachs and all the parts of the brain responsible for reason, and then continue to revolve like circles are the new straight lines and there are no other forces in the world save the glitched gravity that stops you soaring up to heaven like a holy firework.

I want more tattoos. I want your lips tattooed on the inside of mine. And I bet your metal tongue is knurled for a better grip, just like the inside of your thighs.

I bet you're also gorgeous in places unbeknownst to anyone who has ever walked the Earth because the freckles that shyly inhabit your back look like city lights viewed from the exosphere, like a silkscreen over the reticent, dyspeptic blood of boiling volcanoes. And I can just imagine every undiscovered constellation hiding beneath your collarbones, waiting to surprise me.

The Inalienable Dreamless
by Discordance Axis
An often overlooked grindcore classic. Unique riffs with a well-honed formula, rhythmic and oblique drumming, and some of my favourite high-pitched shrieking this side of the Earth's crust. Listen.

If you haven't heard of this classic, what are you doing here!? Although far from being my favourite (Hybrid Noisebloom was my first noise love), it is important to recognise its legacy and influence.

The Sound of The Spectacle
by The Saddest Landscape
This has little in common with the above (who actually played together and more), but there are many good reasons why this band's heart logo was tattooed over my wrist. Remember what you love and why.

Topographic Relief Vol 6
by Various Artists
Warped, woozy vaporwave that builds suspense and unease with long, gauzy sheets of sound. Psychedelic and hypnotic.
