Losing myself in someone else
Losing myself in something less than what I deserve
But damn it feels so good
Even when it feels like hell
I love the feeling more than the act itself
I love the feeling more than I love myself
Pretend I’m not alone for just a sec
Pretend I’m okay with being selfless
Give myself over to the fantasy
As if it’s the only way I’ll be happy
The illusion fades as the sun rises
Gotta run before reality hits
You can’t escape what grows within you
Can’t kill it without killing yourself

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?
