to the tune of 'silent night'

silent night
broken night
all is fallen when you take your flight
i found some hate for you
just for show
you found some love for me
thinking i'd go
don't keep me from crying to sleep
sleep in heavenly peace

silent night
moonlit night
nothing has changed nothing is right
i should be stronger than weeping alone
you should be weaker than sending me home
i can't stop fighting to sleep
sleep in heavenly peace.

holy. fuck.

at the end of damien rice's eskimo is this.
acapella. a woman who's name i'd tell you if i had the album here.
it breaks my heart in all the right ways and in all the right places.

find it. listen to it.
let it kill you.

xo michelle.

You have played this for me before... and when I read it my breath caught in my throat and for a second it seemed that the world was going by at speed while I sat in slow motion... waiting for my breath to exhale.

Damn that's good.
