the front of this postcard is covered in flames
 
i'm living like a devil                             
—lana del rey, “don’t call me angel”                             
 

 
 
you said Angel, let it happen.
you said Angel, be still.
you said Angel, this is your purpose. This is all you are good for.
you said Surely you must realize that without me you are nothing.
you said Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay, always stay.
you said If you ever disobey me, angel, angel, angel, my angel, angel,
you will die
 
 
--
 
 
hello
 
from the afterlife
 
the sea
 
is dancing
 
the sky
 
is blue
