Top songs

objects lost in drawers (found again at the most inconvenient times)
to die in the country
from gardens in the city we keep alive
to live by a body of water is to forget it exists
after all this time, Beirut
to die on any hill (if it's easy enough to climb)
everything is wrapped in cling film
it is 5:00pm and nothing bad has happened to us (yet)
come back later
