Drake ft. Rihanna - Take Care

[Rihanna]
I know you’ve been hurt, by, someone else.
I can tell by the way, you carry yourself.
If you let me, here’s what I’ll do.
I’ll take care of you.
I’ve loved and I’ve lost.

[Drake] [Verse1]
I’ve asked about you, and they told me things,
But, my mind didn’t change and I still feel the same
What’s a life with no fun, please don’t be so ashamed.
I’ve had mine, you’ve had yours.
We both know, we know.
They won’t get you like I will,
My only wish is I die real,
Cause that truth hurts and those lies heal.
And you can’t sleep thinking that he lies still.
So you cry still, tears all in her pillowcase,
Big girls all get a little taste, oh
Pushing me away, so I give her space oh.
Dealing with a heart that I didn’t break.
I’ll be there for you, I will care for you
I keep thinking you just don’t know.
Tryna run from that, say you done with that,
On your face girl it just don’t show.
When your ready, just say your ready.
When all the baggage just ain’t as heavy,
And the party’s over just don’t forget me.
We’ll change the pace, and we’ll just go slow.

[Hook] [Drake]
You won’t ever have to worry.
You won’t ever have to hide.
And you have seen all my mistakes,
So look me in my eyes.

[Rihanna]
Cause if you let me, here’s what I’ll do.
I’ll take care of you.
I’ve loved and I’ve lost.

[Verse 2] [Drake]
It’s my birthday, I’ll get high if I want to,
Can’t deny that I want you,
But I’ll lie if I have to. Cause you don’t say you love me,
To your friends when they ask you.
Even though we both know that you do, you do.
One time, been in love one time.
You and all your girls in the club one time.
All so convinced that you’re following your heart,
Cause your mind don’t control what it does sometimes.
We all have our nights though,
Don’t be so ashamed.
I’ve had mine, you’ve had yours.
We both know, we know.

[Hook]
You hate being alone when you ain’t the only one.
You hate the fact that you bought the dream
When they sold you one.
And you love your friends,
But somebody should have told you somethin,
To save you.
Instead they say......

(“Don’t tell me, I don’t care, if you hurt.
I don’t tell you, you don’t care if you’re true.
Don’t tell me, I don’t care, if you hurt.
I don’t tell you, you don’t care, if you’re true.”)

[Rihanna]
I know you’ve been hurt, By, someone else.
I can tell by the way, you carry yourself.
If you let me, here’s what I’ll do.
I’ll take care of you.
I’ve loved and I’ve lost.

I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.

[Chorus:]
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

When laying with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better

'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say,
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.

[Chorus:]
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where it felt something die
'Cause I knew that there was the last time, the last time

Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you.

[Chorus:]
I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Where it felt something die
'Cause I knew that there was the last time, the last time, oh, ohhhh!

Oh noooo
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh

all that we see or seem
is but a dream within a dream

I think theres some kind of beauty in being scraped down to the raw part of your soul. as painful as it is, youre splayed in this completely vulnerable state, bleeding out for anyone who chooses to look. & its innocent & pure, ..its freedom in its own sweet insanity.

it was there into the night I followed you. lighting wishes on galaxies spinning past..
I sat & stared into the light of your dawn, trembling at the sight of your heart..

“Don’t move the way fear makes you move.
Move the way love makes you move.
Move the way joy makes you move.”
— Osho

American Head Charge - Ridicule

Ridicule my own
So precious alone
These faces of everyone
Remind me of home
You're plotting riddled sin
All my needs giving in
Blow me a kiss and leave me to the dogs

So, you think you got it
You think you know me
You wanna bring me down
I am in my finest hour
Ridicule my own
So precious alone
These faces of everyone
Remind me of home
You're watching me dying
How am I looking?
Why don't you take a picture
You're plotting riddled sin
All my needs giving in
Blow me a kiss
And leave me to the dogs

My fear, traps me waiting for it
My past is glowing red and yellow, again

Run, back where you came from
Not that it matters
I'll never see you again
My fists strain to sift mercy
Ridicule my own
So precious alone
These faces of everyone
Remind me of home
You're plotting riddled sin
All my needs giving in
Blow me a kiss and leave me to the dogs

My fear, traps me waiting for it
My past is glowing red and yellow, again
My fate will show me where to follow

this is where insanity begins: too much attention wasted on the wallpaper and hours spent meeting anything but your eyes - H

...I am in love with life. my fondness for an overindulgence of the senses makes for such a vibrant, passionate existence..

The way you make love is the way God will be with you. ~ Rumi

“Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.”
— Deepak Chopra

you give me wings..

let me find myself in you when I forget..

I love you,
always.
forever.

“But I don’t want comfort. I want poetry. I want danger. I want freedom.”
— Aldous Huxley

its already a dream..

“I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and think: to think and live; to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.”
— Sylvia Plath

'KARMA REPAIR KIT. Item 3: Reduce intellectual and emotional noise until you arrive at the silence of yourself, and listen to it.'

“When you start to really know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.”
— Lisa Unger

'Don't hate your body. It is merely a vessel. Your spirit is what makes you beautiful'

“If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences.”
— H.P. Lovcraft

“It is love, not reason, … which is stronger than death, and from that alone can flow the sweetness of civilisation. Reason in itself is too abstract and impersonal a force to face down death. But such love, to be authentic, must live ‘always in silent recognition of the blood-sacrifice.” One must honour beauty, idealism, and the hunger for progress, while confessing in Marxist or Nietzschean style how much blood and wretchedness lie at their root.”
— Terry Eagleton, summarising Thomas Mann’s argument in The Magic Mountain (Reason, Faith and Revolution, pp.163f.)

live, laugh, love. do this daily, with absolutely everything in you & never look back. there are few things more important in this earthly existence. no regrets.

there's beauty in the breakdown..
