Sounds Like
breath moving through the tarnished brass of a weathered instrument.
let's sing together.
an epic clash between second best and deep-seeded hope, always yelling about something when not quiet. never the teacher's pet but always getting homework turned in on time, yet somehow barely scraping by on the marks. a cry for change wrapped in a wet blanket. an electric storm connected to an ipod charger. a fire in the trees.
