Suburban War

Aug 24, 2010 20:31

I'm not going to be a teacher anymore.
I have an internship writing and editing for www.datingish.com.

I have hipster bangs.
The red has been working out, so I'll keep working with it.
People think I'm a redhead now. I kind of like that.

I had a religious experience at an Arcade Fire concert in Madison Square Garden.
(I no longer have much religion in my life. Thanks, CLS.)

I will graduate in December.
I plan to live in sin with my boyfriend.
I don't know what I want to do with my life, but I know what I don't want to do.

I am smarter and more secure than my parents. Now they come to me.
That's the circle of life, Simbaa.

One wedding down this year, three more to go.
The next phase of life must have started, must have missed that somewhere.
I feel no pressure to marry.

Tara Verlin got married and didn't invite me.
This had no impact on my life whatsoever.
That chapter was closed two chapters ago.

Press on. Press on.

In the suburbs I, I learned to drive
People told me we would never survive
So grab your mother's keys we leave tonight

You started a war
That you can't win
They keep erasing all the streets we grew up in

All my old friends, they don't know me now.
