somewhere in my chest/ all the noise just gets/ crushed by the song...
I'm writing a letter to Harriet, which, like the one in my last entry, she may never read. Then again, she might. At the very least, I'll post it here, for my own reference, as well as for any who are still attempting to follow my pro-/re-gression at this point. Until then, let's waste time rooting through song lyrics, shall we?

Oooh - can we?
