this is my boyfriend’s brother snuggled up with our siamese, pagoda.

Thanks, Steve.
Posting designs like this one makes me paranoid, because I can’t shake the feeling that it’s not original. I enjoyed the process...
This should be on Things Organized Neatly (which is a great site, by the way).
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I’ll shine down on my mother
She’ll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain’t always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain’t even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had, just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had, just enough time
And I’ll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I’m as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I’ve
Never known the lovin’ of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there’s a
Boy here in town says he’ll, love my forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had, just enough time
So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I’ll sell them for a dollar
They’re worth so much more after I’m a goner
And maybe then you’ll hear the words I been singin’
Funny when your dead how people start listenin’
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep ‘em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had, just enough time
So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
I get all my bad habits watchin’ you
It’s true
Well, I wish that things were so different
Change it myself
It’s what i’ll do
But, I can’t figure it out, yet
Just how to make it perfect for you
But, I’m closer than I was
Yesterday
Yeah, I’m closer than I was yesterday
They say that life is for learning
Well, teach to me to live
While I’m here
Messages twisted and turning
What should I give
Make it clear
‘Cause I can’t figure it out, yeah
I can’t figure it out, yet
Just how to make it perfect for you
But, I’m closer than I was
Yesterday
Yeah, I’m closer than I was yesterday
Don’t you know there’s no difference
I’m not the same
I’m only here
To be with you
And now I’m closing the distance
Dropping the claim
Trading the past for something new
Something new
Why would you work without living
Spending your soul
What’s it worth?
Well, I hope you make it to heaven
Waiting for life
Here on earth
‘Cause I can’t figure it out, yet
I can’t figure it out, yet
No, I can’t figure it out, yet
Just how to make it perfect for you
But, I’m closer than I was
Closer than I was
Yeah, I’m closer than I was
Yesterday
Yeah, I’m closer than I was
Yesterday
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
I’ve seen your face before my friend, but I don’t know if you know who I am
Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you’ve been
It’s all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember, don’t worry, how could I ever forget
It’s the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, oh no you don’t fool me
Well the hurt doesn’t show, but the pain still grows
It’s no stranger to you and me
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord
And I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord, oh lord
And I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord…
I’ve been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
I had disengaged to avoid being totaled
I would run away and say good riddance soon enough
I had grown disgusted by your small-minded ceiling
To imagining myself bolting had not been difficult
Soon be my life
Soon be my pace
Soon be my choice of which you’ll have no part of
And I know about you.
Well I know the trouble when the trouble starts,
And I know the signal of a straying heart,
And I know the stirrings of a double cross,
And I see suspicion arise around you.
I haven’t ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize once again I’m not in love
But it’s not as if I mind
that your heart ain’t exactly breaking
Because you never know where life is going to take you
And you can’t change where you’ve been -
But today, I have the opportunity to choose.
I’ve dealt with my ghosts and I’ve faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I’ve found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I’m at peace with myself
I’ve been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I’m movin’ on
Come out angels
Come out ghosts
Come out darkness
Bring everyone you know I’m not running and I’m not scared
I am waiting
And well-prepared
I’m in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there’s nowhere to run
I’ve got a hammer
And a heart of glass
I gotta know right now which walls to smash
I got a pocket
Got no pills
If fear hasn’t killed me yet, then nothing will
All the suffering and all the pain
Never left a name
I’m in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there’s nowhere to run
I’m in the war of my lifre
At the core of my life
Got no choice but to fught ‘till it’s done
No more suffering, no more pain
Never again
I’m in the war of my life
At the door of my life
Out of time and there’s nowhere to run
I’m in the ware of my life
At the core of my life
Got no choice but to fight ‘til it’s done
So fight on
Fight one everyone
Fight on
Got no choice but to fight ‘til it’s done
I won’t give up
I won’t run
I won’t stop for anyone
