about

Embracing life in the real world also entails getting your hands dirty dealing with actual problems -- or recognizing which ones you can't solve on your own. Wry stoicism and manly detachment can seem like a good way to power through. Sometimes, though, this doesn't actually fix what's wrong, and certainly doesn't do anything for anyone around you who actually needs real help. Do it wrong, and it leaves a mark.

lyrics

strong enough
to lift you up
well, that's the whole idea
and it always seems
to rally me
every time I see you

that's the thing that brought us here
as I'm sure you know
now that we've come so far, my dear
take it with you when you go

I thought that I'd
treat the world like a threshold a thousand miles wide
you'd be the bride
and I'd carry you, carry you, carry you all the time

searching for
some gorgeous war
a beautiful disaster
to be the man
with the steady hands
and all, yes all, the answers

but it doesn't work that way
as I'm sure you are aware
we don't really get a say
fate drags us everywhere

I thought that I'd
treat the world like a threshold a thousand miles wide
you'd be the bride
and I'd carry you, carry you, carry you all the time

try to save what no one can
you see some things that no one should
now, sweetheart, I can barely stand
I shouldered all the weight I could

I thought that I'd
have started getting better at leaving this behind
instead I find
that I carry you, carry you, carry you all the time

about

The Napoleon of Crime Washington, D.C.

"He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson. He is the organizer of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city. He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker. He has a brain of the first order . . . My horror at his crimes was lost in my admiration at his skill." -- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Final Problem" ... more
