20 notes
It’s nothing I’ll forget when the moon gets tired
You are stuck to me everyday
Believe in what I am because it’s all I have today
And tomorrow who knows where we’ll be
From here I can hardly see a thing
But I will follow anyone who brings me to you
For now, forever, for on and on and on
In case you haven’t heard I’m sick and tired of trying,
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,
plugged in and ready to fall. ❞
Its easy if you burn out like a star. ❞

themagiciansassistant-deactivat asked: omg I LOVE Alkaline Trio, and Sadie is one of my favourite songs too, I think the end bit is beautifully written but I never had any idea that it had anything to do with Charles Manson! It all makes so much more sense now, wow that's amazing. Haha brilliant! :) I’m always fond of Alkaline Trio lovers. When I first started listening to them I was confused about the song even though I loved it, then I downloaded a live version of Sadie and at the start Skiba mentions the book Helter Skelter so I bought it! Im sure there will be some cheap Helter Skelters on eBay, I’d definetly recommend, its quite interesting :) Love ittt xo |
It all comes from one of my favourite songs ‘Sadie’ by my favourite band Alkaline Trio. Iv also started reading a book called ‘Helter Skelter’ which is a true crime book by Vincent Bugliosi with Curt Gentry. The book is written about the Manson Family murders in 1969. Alkaline Trio wrote the song based on this book.
Her real name is Susan Atkins, though she liked to be known within the Manson family as Sadie Mae Glutz.
Alkaline Trio name her Crazy Sadie.
Atkins was convicted for her participation in eight of the Manson family killings, including the most notorious, “Tate/LaBianca” murders. She was sentenced to death, which was subsequently commuted to life in prison.
You’re on your own my little nightmare you cannot stay here
It’s far too bright for you
If they attack you just lay there,
Play dead dear, it’s your only hope of pulling through.
And seconds they seem like a lifetime.
A dream, recurring, a dream that can’t come true.
And they’ll pin it all on you
after all you’ve been put through.
“Sadie G. she’s crazy, see?”
That’s what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A., you’re losing
every opportunity to put us all away.
Go run along my little nightmare.
Your job is done here.
You’ve scared them all to death.
If they revive them just sit there.
Just smile dear. Make them thankful for every breath.
The sentence may seem like a lifetime,
a scream, that curdling the blood they found on you.
And your knives and clothing too.
Charlie’s broken .22
Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way that you’ve bound and gaged.
You’ve shot and stab.
You tried to set them free, but they’ve thrown away the keys.
“He represented a God to me that was so beautiful that I’d do anything for him.
I’d do anything for God.
Even murder, if I believed it was right.
How could it not be right if it is done with love?
I have no remorse for doing what was right to me.
I have no guilt in me.”
