some favorite lines from How to Build an Ocean: Instructions off the top of my head:

"it feels like they're depending on my slowly ending"

"if tomorrow i'm gonna be haunted, today i'm gonna be free"

"just a reminder i've only one life to lose"

"i'm begging you to feel just a little bit less"

"give me a song that makes me feel like i'm home"

"reminds me that i gotta save up, gotta pay for my casket"

"we all sing the same old songs, we just sing them different now"

"i just wanna know you're with me, i don't care if i die with words unsaid"

"i am everyone and everything all of the time"

"i don't wanna be angry, what has anger ever helped"

"i just wanna find the perfect placement of my joy within your soul"

WELL IF YOU NEVER CALLED IT LOVE THEN IT CAN'T BE LOVE AND IF YOU NEVER CALLED IT HEARTBREAK THEN HOW CAN YOU BE HEARTBROKEN

a collection of images to describe how I feel about how to build an ocean: instructions

[rotatedaxis]

ok but i'm a committed english language nerd so i've been thinking about the prepositions in all you get is confetti a lot

specifically i'm talking about the chorus, "you can't be everything for everyone but you can be everything to someone"

like i just think the difference between being everything for someone and to someone is so specific and also so massive like. being everything for someone is all you. you're putting in all the work. but to someone? no work on your end you're just there and that's everything. idk i think it's a really cool detail

[rotatedaxis]
