What a good show. Cathartic, not just in the usual "here I am at a musical performance" sort of way-- she had a lot to say about moving on from life's curveballs during the song intermissions. I'm no good with words so if I tried to describe it, it'd sound corny.
Can't state enough about how much I loved the whole boxing setup/motif. She started and ended the show with it and I wish I got some more photos, because the comparison of her at the start of the show versus her after an hour or so of performing is a great visual in relation to the whole boxing match thing. Fighting with yourself is a taxing affair, after all. 10/10
Here's a short clip I took from the end of the show. See:
"life is what you make it, well that's the worst advice i ever got. life give me spaghetti, i tie it into knots. life gives me lemons, i eat 'em on the spot. fuck—life gives me confetti and i smoke it like it's pot!"
The boy I love's got another girl
He might be fucking her right now
I don't have an apartment
Thought if I was smart, I'd make it far
But I'm still at the start
Guess I'm contagious, it'd be safest if you ran
Fuck, that's what they all just end up doing in the end
Take my car and paint it black
Take my arm, break it in half
Say something, do it soon
It's too quiet in this room
I need noise
I need the buzz of a sub
Need the crack of a whip
Need some blood in the cut
I need noise
I need the buzz of a sub
Need the crack of a whip
Need some blood in the cut
I need blood in the cut
I need blood in the cut
Met back up with the boy I love
Cried on the streets of San Francisco
I don't have an agenda
All I do is pretend to be okay
So my friends can't see my heart in the blender
And lately, I've been killing all my time
Reading through your messages, my favorite way to die
Take my head and kick it in
Break some bread for all my sins
Say a word, do it soon
It's too quiet in this room

Three years ago I have a week or so gap in my photo backups from when I was on ward after a 6 or so week relapse and trying to take myself out with meds. So yeah, haven’t had a drink since about this time 3 years ago. Been back on antabuse all that time, and not drinking and yeah, go me and all that.
It’s been a weird week, went to Sydney for Kflay on wednesday. Been waiting and anticipating for…
Going through the motions but I don't feel a thing
Waiting for the weightlessness that wakefulness can't bring
Taste you on my tongue, the pressure of your fingertips
Remembering just how you traced the outlines of my ribs
Don't wanna keep looking behind me or reenact the past
But it's hard because my heart's just a potato that's been mashed
Don't want to keep hoping you'll find me and make this all untrue
Right now lying in my bed all day's the best that I can do
Is it the way you touched my shoulder blades?
How you just seemed to fill in all the blanks?
When I pushed, you pulled
You always made me feel so beautiful
Is it the way your hand fit into mine?
Told me you'd hold me 'til the end of time
I'm just lost at sea without you next to me
