“Take it,”
They always want you to take it
Just close your eyes, baby, fake it
Burning inside out

Shaking, screaming hysterical
I get lost in an ocean of regret
Burning inside out

Cold feet, I was a kid, I was lonely
Would’ve done anything only
To be by his side

I can’t speak
I get to feelin’ my heartbeat
It’s been a terrible news week

And I don’t know how
Oh, I don’t know how

But I, I don’t want this to be
The saga of my life
The saga of my life

I just wanna be free
Get over it in time
Push it out of my mind

Cold feet, I was a kid, I was lonely
He pushed me down on the concrete

Oh, I can’t speak
I get to feelin’ my heartbeat
I’ll just make it through this week
And I’ll get out alive

But I don’t know how
Oh, I don’t know how

And I don’t want this to be
The saga of my life
The saga of my life

I just wanna be free
Get over it in time
Push it out of my mind

Nobody believed me, nobody believed me
Nobody believed me, nobody believed me
Oh, nobody believed me, nobody believed
Oh, nobody believed me, nobody believed me

Hurray for the Riff Raff’s “SAGA”

Banoffee Cake ☘️

| cclelandnissen

Homemade Banoffee (Banana Toffee) Cake with homemade cream cheese frosting! I read that Banoffee Pie is considered an Irish traditional dessert, so naturally, I had to make it!

This turned out so tasty and moist, I’m actually pretty proud of this one! I’d recommend cutting the pieces smaller, as it is more dense, like a banana bread. And good with vanilla ice cream, but definitely not needed 😉

They say the sky is the same everywhere.
Travelers, the shipwrecked, exiles, and the dying
draw comfort from the thought.
