“And I can't see the future but I know it's watching me.”

— St. Vincent (musician)

"Laughing with a Mouth of Blood"
Actor (2009)
Context: I traded my plot of land for a plane to anywhere
Oh where did you go.
And I can't see the future but I know it's watching me.
All my old friends aren't so friendly
And all my old haunts are now haunting me.

I really want to improve myself and better myself, not just for me, but for anyone that looks up to me or anyone that's influenced by me, and that's how I want to move forward away from this.
