Tear In Your Hand

Jenn — Sat, 03 May 2008 22:27:43 +0000

by Tori Amos

All the world just stopped now
So you say you don’t wanna stay together anymore
Let me take a deep breath babe
If you need me
Me and Neil’ll be hangin’ out with the dream king
Neil says hi
By the way I don’t believe you’re leaving
Cause me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream
I think it’s that girl
And I think they’re pieces of me you’ve never seen
Maybe she’s just pieces of me you’ve never seen well

All the world is all I am
The black of the blackest ocean
And the tear in your hand
All the world is danging…
Dangling’… Danglin’ for me darlin’
You don’t know the power that you have
With that tear in your hand
Tear in you hand

Maybe I ain’t used to maybes
Smashing in a cold room
Cutting my hands up every time I touch you
Maybe maybe it’s time to wave goodbye now
Time to wave goodbye now
Caught a ride with the moon
I know I know you well
Better than I
Used to haze all clouded up
My mind in the daze of why it could’ve never been
So you say and I say
You know you’re full of wish
And your “baby baby baby babies”
I tell you they’re pieces of me you’ve never seen
Maybe she’s just pieces of me you’ve never seen

All the world is all I am
The black of the blackest ocean
And the tear in your hand
All the world is dangin’…
Dangling’… Danglin’ for me darlin’
You don’t know the power that you have
With that tear in your hand
Tear in you hand
With that tear in you hand

Reflection and Change

Jenn — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 06:22:57 +0000

If you would have told me five years ago that I would be living in Austin and making it… I would have laughed. Believing in myself is not something that I’ve ever done but I’m many miles from home and doing well. Sometimes I am still baffled about how I got here… but I’m here.

In the rush of things I’ve kinda lost myself. Not that I’m unhappy with my life here but really unhappy with how I’ve stopped taking care of myself. So I’m making myself some goals and changing things about the way I live. Made a trip last night to Central Market and stocked up on some healthier food options. Another goal is to be more active so I made a calendar of various activities to partake in 4 times a week. This won’t be easy but I want to get back to liking the skin I’m in again. Wish me luck…
