Steady Chime

“Why can we never go back to bed?
Whose is the voice ringing in my head?
Where is the sense in these desperate dreams?
Why should I wake when I’m half past dead?

Sure as the clock keeps its steady chime,
Weak as I walk to its steady rhyme,
Ticking away from the ones we love,
So many girls, so little time.”

_{[ 4 O’ Clock – Emilie Autumn ]}


The story behind this photo and the other ones from this series is pretty funny: my dear BriarRose and I were all around the bend for EA’s gig and wanted to take some photo inspired by her, when I watched the striped blanket of the bed I slept in and said, “You know what? This blanket really reminds me of the cover of the 4 O’ Clock EP”. We looked at each other, BriarRose put on the outfit she wore at the gig, we got some stuff to make the set look more Emilie-ish and there we were taking the photos!
The outfit was made by BriarRose herself.
