When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue Could scarcely cry ” ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep!” So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep. There’s little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head That curled like a lamb’s back, was shaved, so I said, “Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head’s bare, You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.” And so he was quiet, & that very night, As Tom was a-sleeping he had such a sight! That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned, & Jack, Were all of them locked up in coffins of black; And by came an Angel who had a bright key, And he opened the coffins & set them all free; Then down a green plain, leaping, laughing they run, And wash in a river and shine in the Sun. Then naked & white, all their bags left behind, They rise upon clouds, and sport in the wind. And the Angel told Tom, if he’d be a good boy, He’d have God for his father & never want joy. And so Tom awoke; and we rose in the dark And got with our bags & our brushes to work. Though the morning was cold, Tom was happy & warm; So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.

William Blake, "The Chimney Sweeper"

I have a million things to do before being in England including all the uni readings and getting my visa and passport. Also work and seeing friends and homework for here. I think I’m gonna get Ace Attorney and play it.

Like y'all don't even know about how much I love Jawbreaker.

Ugh, it's so disgustingly cliché (maybe???) and emo but "Dear You" saved my little life when I was in like late middle school or something even though it was a pretty polished album, god it is so good

and I don't even hate any of their songs

it's just

so good

so sad sometimes

but so good at words

I could just fall into a pit of those four albums and never resurface or need other music

it's just so damn sad that they broke up when I was like 5 or 6
