We are all our own devil

Artist- Company of Thieves
Song of the day- Oscar Wilde

I have succumb to the fact that I might be sacrificing my nursing school grade to attend Lollapalooza this year, but the idea of not going as I look at the lineup just makes my musical heart sad. So I'll be spending the majority of my time in the shade learning about antibiotics as bands sing to me. One local band I can't wait see is Company of Thieves. I like everything about them, including her ability to rock a sparkly headband (another dream to add to my fashion list) along with a rainbow shirt I'm pretty sure I owned when I was 4. Besides doing a fantastic ode to a great Wes Anderson film and an author who just might have invented "wit", I can't help ignore the message of this song. At the end of the day, so much awesomeness or so much shit can happen to you but both are filtered by how you decide to treat it. Now this has a lot to do with the "Full House" 30min lessons ingrained inside of me, of not being able to change a situation or person but just your own attitude (Thanks Mr. Tanner!), but there's a lot of truth to it. I know I have the grand ability to torment myself with my own issues, other people's issues, and anything else that might fit in my brain. And as you are probably rolling your eyes as I usually role mine when my mother tells me to "just don't worry" or "just stop being stressed" I am going to tell you to stop being your own worst enemy...at least for the five minutes this song plays.

And don’t you want the invitation
Big bright accent, catty smile
Oscar Wilde confrontation

Oh, live like it’s the style
Whoa, waltz on your front porch

We are all our own devil
We are all our own devil
And we make this world our hell

We are all our own devil
We are all our own devil
And we make this world our hell

Porcelain teacups decorate
Tables and the conversation
Beauty pageants, all the time
It’s running out, the time is running out

Oh, live like it’s the style
Whoa, waltz on your front porch

We are all our own devil
We are all our own devil
And we make this world our hell

We are all our own devil
We are all our own devil
And we make this world
We make this world our hell

It’s always running away
Always running from time

Time keeps on ticking away
Always running away
We’re always running in time

Time keeps on ticking away

We’re always running in time

Time keeps on ticking away
Always running away
Always running from time

Time keeps on ticking away

Oh,
We make it our hell
