You’ll hang the hearts black
And dull as the night

You see, I’m this girl who Gets Things Done.  That’s been my m.o. for a [...]

“shakes – give all your secrets away
shakes – give us your soul today
shakes – give it all away”
[Tones On Tail - Performance]
It seems to be working.
My hands – well, mainly my right hand – has a tremor today. I’m twitchy. But you know what? I’ve been unerringly… perky. I don’t feel unnaturally happy or high, [...]
