Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass

by Lana Del Rey

Through the years I’ve called you in and out of my orbit You, in your madness the satellite that’s constellating my World mimicking the inner chaos that i’ve disowned a mirror to my past life retribution a reflection of my sadness If i’m going to keep on living the way that i’m living i can’t do it without you.

May i always keep my eyes level to this skyline assessing the glittering new development off the coast of Long Beach never to heaven Because i have faith in man as strange as that seems

for an emphasis on developing inner intuition close your eyes and feel where you hold your attention if it’s in the back of your eyes walk it down to your heart center and make that the new place from which your thoughts enter clairvoyance comes mostly from this simple function

Oh- and Jim died at 27 so find another frame of reference when you’re referencing heaven And did you ever read the lyrics to ‘People Are Strange’? He made no sense.

I love you lana

love is rising No resisting cheeks are flushing Now you’re living

Be the art that life is breathing Be the soul the world is living. Do what you want For you only

do things that you think are sweet and a sweet man is sure to follow.

Let’s pour one out to knowing not hoping

I’m a dreamer And I had big dreams for the country Not for what it could do but for how it could feel How it could think how it could dream.

you can’t fight what’s in your nature.

My thoughts are not for sale they’re about nothing and beautiful and for free i wish you could get that and love that about me

Poets- like comics are inherently quite sad better off alone

Open the front door hello I say to no one I know no one’s home
