She never mentions the word “addiction” In certain company Yes, she’ll tell you she’s an orphan After you meet her family She paints her eyes as black as night now Pulls those shades down tight Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain come The pain gonna make everything alright Says she talks to angels They call her out by her name Oh yeah, she talks to angels Says they call her out by her name She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket She wears a cross around her neck Yes, the hair is from a little boy And the cross is someone she has not met, not yet Says she talks to angels Says they all know her name Oh yeah, she talks to angels Says they call her out by her name She don’t know no lover None that I ever seen Yeah, to her that ain’t nothin’ But to me, it means Means everything She paints her eyes as black as night now She pulls those shades down tight Oh yeah, there’s a smile when the pain comes The pain gonna make everything alright, alright She talks to angels Says they call her out by her name Oh, yeah, angels Call her out by her name Oh, angels They call her out by her name Oh, she talks to angels They call her out, yeah, yeah Call her out Don’t you know that they Call her out by her name?

There is something I can’t help but find poetic about this song. It has been something that I have been unable to explain why I like it…but it also has been one that sings my own name.
So, in today’s society the idea of being “live” carries a new meaning. I came here to tell y’all that I am posting myself reading my poems on my TikTok again and then I wanted to try to make it sound good… so I was thinking about the buzz words… and live poetry reading came up… but it is not live. It’s recorded. I guess I just don’t know what the words to use here are.
I always do subtitles on my readings to be sure my own accent doesn’t make me hard to understand. So I am Pattimouse on TikTok if you want to hear me read my own poetry. I occasionally post other things – mostly the fun little memes that TikTok engenders but not very often. I’m not fond of recording videos. So I try to make sure that when I do record it is for a good reason.
so I am looking forward to going to a concert on the 15th of February. Disturbed and Falling in Reverse and Plush. so I have been listening to the first two of the 3 bands a lot more often because of that. Disturbed just dropped this new song. so I have to share my joy.
You can tell me that you try But you told me as you said goodbye And all those things you couldn’t say You just watched me walk away, again But I was there for you to the end As your lover and your best friend So why’d you cross that line and destroy my life? Please just tell the truth ‘Cause it’s a lot to defend and I can’t understand How I’m still loving you Why can’t you be by yourself? Always needing to be with someone else So uncomfortable in your own skin I didn’t realize that time alone meant time with him So why’d you cross that line and destroy my life? Please just tell the truth ‘Cause it’s a lot to defend and I can’t understand How I’m still loving you We only have one life to get right We had our second chance And yet we fucked it up again So why’d you cross that line and destroy our lives? Please just tell the truth It’s a lot to defend, I can’t understand How I’m still loving you How am I still loving you?

Someone pointed out that the song I shared last week and this one when played together form a story – no matter what order you play them. I felt that and found the story too compelling to not share.
When you imagine a prisoner of war, is this what you imagine?
“Under Your Scars” lyrics Godsmack Lyrics Play “Under Your Scars” on Amazon Music Unlimited (ad) “Under Your Scars”
Do we make sense? I think we do In spite of everything that we’ve been through Oh when you say black and I say white It’s not about who’s wrong as long as it feels right Don’t think those stars won’t align
Under your scars I pray You’re like a shooting star in the rain You’re everything that feels like home to me, yeah Under your scars, I could live inside you time after time If you’d only let me live inside of mine Live inside of mine
Wish you were here right beside me So I could watch you sleep Hold your body closer, breathe you deep And everything feels broken when you’re not next to me Would you still be you if we weren’t we?
Under your scars I pray You’re like a shooting star in the rain You’re everything that feels like home to me, yeah Under your scars, I could live inside you time after time If you’d only let me live inside of mine
So hey, if you feel like coming down If you feel like coming around Just call my name out loud, na, na, na Hey, if you feel like coming down If you feel like coming around Just call my name out loud, na, na, na, hey
Under your scars I pray You’re like a shooting star in the rain You’re everything that feels like home to me, yeah Under your scars, I could live inside you time after time If you’d only let me live inside of mine Live inside of mine

so I think I probably had something witty here…but in trying to get the posts done for the upcoming week I ended up sending it to the ether. However I planned on the song being here for the next week’s Tuesday tunes to reference… so I have to leave the mess up.
