"i'd be the last shred of truth / in the lost myth of true love" ~ "talk" by hozier
i don't know if you'll be better
but you'll always be more,
and in a world where more is better
you'll be better off with it:
the endless more, the unending more.
the more the merrier and also the more the morose,
more desire and also more death,
more community and also more individuality,
more pleasure and more penance,
more future and also more past,
more dystopias, more utopias, more realisms
(no coincidence that it was more who wrote utopia),
more commodities and also more minimalism
(less is more is, more or less, the same as more of the same),
more of love and also more space in it,
more you but also more me and also more the world beyond us both.
i can't take it anymore. this one's on me:
i'll be the first shroud of lie
in that lost myth of true love.
