Deep Dish
This is only a possibility, in a world of possibilities.
There are — obviously there are — many possibilities,
ranging from small to large.
Before long, there will be short;
before short, there was nothing.
When there was nothing,
there was always the possibility of something
becoming what it is.

Shameless
We’re in a room without a door,
and i am sure without a doubt,
they’re gonna wanna know how we got in here
and they’re gonna wanna know how we plan to get out.
We better have a good explanation for all the fun that we had
‘cause they are coming for us, baby,
and they are going to be mad.
Yup, they’re going to be mad at us.
-“Shameless” Ani D
Portions for Foxes
I know I’m alone if I’m with or without you but just bein’ around you offers me another form of relief When the loneliness leads to bad dreams and the bad dreams lead me to callin’ you and I call you and say “C’MERE!” And it’s bad news Baby I’m bad news I’m just bad news, bad news, bad news
