New art journal page :)

Sorry for the flash - I did this in Crayola crayons (I know, right?) and they're pretty shiny, so... I'm not that pleased with how this turned out but it did the job and honestly, you can't waste a good hour's hard colouring. The quotes are mostly from Bright Eyes songs (what I was listening to at the time) and there's another that is a bit of a misquote, it reads "And you cannot bear your living body because it has failed you somewhere". Apparently that's Henry Cameron?

The main quote reads "And I know the cause, and I want to stop - but I can't do it, I just can't do it", which is from 'Devil in the Details' by Bright Eyes, as is "this is gonna be reality; you can never dream it down (I have no way of telling the two apart)" and "If there's still time to turn around, I'm going to... I was the first one I deceived - if I can make myself believe, the rest is easy." The song is here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b08Z5uVL38s
"I lifted one foot to cross the other and I felt myself slip in; it was a small mistake, sometimes that's all it takes" is from 'From a Balance Beam' also by Bright Eyes, which is here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHNVbCXK1D0
