Stories by katethegreat

Just paint the picture of a perfect place
They got it better than what anyone's told ya
They'll be the king of hearts
And you're the queen of spades
Then we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers
I know we got it good, but they got it made
And the grass is getting greener each day
I know things are looking up
But soon they'll take us down
Before anybody's on our way

They got all the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They got all the right moves in all the right places
I said everybody knows where we're going


Do you think I'm special, do you think I'm nice?
Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?
Between the noise you hear and the sounds you like
Are we just sinking in the ocean of faces
It can't be possible that rain could fall
Only when it's over our heads
The sun is shining every day, but it's far away


It don't matter what you see, I know I could never be
Someone that'll look like you
It don't matter what you say, I know I could never fake
Someone that could sound like you

All the right friends in all the right places
They got all the right moves in all the right places
I said everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down

On January 30th 2025, Madison Fox is returning home from tour and three and a half months away from turning 40. 

Justin Timberlake and his four year old daughter are eagerly awaiting her return, before he rejoins Nsync for the release of their first album in 24 years, and the No Strings Attached 25th Anniversary World Tour. 

Seems like just yesterday they were Waking Up In Vegas… 

 

“It's some kind of love, it's some kind of fire

I'm already up, but you lift me higher

You know I'm not wrong, you know I'm not lyin'

I don't mind if the world spins faster

The music's louder, the waves get stronger

I don't mind if the world spins faster

Just let me take you to a better place

I'm gonna make you kiss the sky tonight

Yeah, if you let me show the way

I'm so excited to see you excited

I'll take you to a better place”

I settled down
A twisted up frown
Disguised as a smile, well
You would’ve never known

I had it all
But not what I wanted
Cause hope for me
Was a place uncharted
And overgrown

You'd make your way in
I'd resist you just like this

You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free
So, I did it myself

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more


Open your eyes
Like I opened mine
It's only the real world
A life you will never know

Shifting your weight
To throw off the pain
Well you can ignore it
But, only for so long

You look like I did
You resist me just like this

You can't tell me to heal
And, it hurts remembering
How it felt to shut down

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more

The truth never set me free
So, I'll do it myself

See her walking alone
In this city of heartache and stone 
She finds her way down
To where she once found all her dreams 
She doesn't understand why
Something she'd given her heart to could die 
But that's just the way it works out, they say 

She's coming back down
This carousel ride has stopped spinning around
She wants to say she's sorry and stay
But it's too late now
This carousel ride has shut down

I am coming to the end of this road
My cursed hands they are worn and swollen
For a long time I've been carrying this load
Now I'm resting my arms and these things have been old

Oh now where do I go when there ain't no signs or pointing arrows
So many things that I wanted to fulfill
That I could not think straight and I could not sit still
And I could not sit straight and I could not think still

I am doing the best that I can with what I've been given
These things I have taken nothing has ever turned out as I planned
But that's how the path in life is what you make

And oh now where do I go when there ain't no signs or pointing arrows
So many things that I wanted to fulfill
That I could not think straight and I could not sit still
And I could not sit straight and I could not think still

Animal born in, oh, to my self
I got so many reasons to look outside myself
All the old familiar faces
And the unfamiliar faces
That's what every day is, and I do it again
Oh in the morn' I wake with the sun
Oh in the evening another day is done
And oh I feel restless
I never have guessed that I'd
Be at this point at the end of this road

Is it true? Well it's true enough I guess
Join the chorus of the second best

What's left of you that's real
A mutated ideal
With limited appeal, I suggest

If hitting is an art
Then it's drawn us apart
When you erased your heart and beat your chest

Is it you? Well it's you enough I guess
You're an angel in a see-through dress
Is it true, yes it's true enough I guess

Perhaps it's just as well
That I still look like hell
At least the world can tell us apart

Is it true? Yes it's true enough I guess
Come join the chorus of the unimpressed
Is it true, yes it's true enough I guess
Sometimes it's better to be second best

At least you know
You were taken by a pro
I know just how you feel
She talked a perfect game
Deflecting all the blame
You took the jack
And changed the flat
And got behind the wheel--
Now you`re
Driving sideways
Taken in by the scenery
As you`re propelled along
And your companion
Will not help you to navigate
For fear she may be wrong


And you will say
That you`re making headway
And put it in overdrive
But you`re mistaking speed
For getting what you need
And never even noticing
You never do arrive
Cause you`re
Driving sideways
If you roll down the window you`ll see
You`re where you don`t belong
And your companion
Will not help you to navigate
For fear she may be wrong


And you`re powered by
The hopeful lie
That it`s just around the bend
And when this, by default
Comes screeching to a halt
Let`s hope that you
Know what to do
To start it up again


Driving sideways
Hitting scan on the radio
So she can sing along
And she`ll sit
Thinking you`re going to handle it
Until she`s proven wrong
Until she`s proven wrong
Until you prove her wrong

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart
Ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Film by katethegreat (NC-17) [Comments - 74]

He was her assignment, and it was all downhill from there.

See them walking hand in hand, Across the bridge at midnight, Heads turning as the lights flashing out, It's so bright, There's a camera rolling on her back, And I sense the rhythm humming, In a frenzy, all the way down her spine, Lipstick cherry, all over the lens as she's falling, In miles of sharp blue water, coming in where she lies, The diving man's coming up for air, Cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, And she wonders how she ever got here, As she goes under again, Wider baby smiling, you just made a million

You touch these tired eyes of mine
And map my face out line by line
And somehow growing old feels fine
I listen close for I'm not smart
You wrap you thoughts in works of art
And they're hanging on the walls of my heart

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
And never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours

You healed these scars over time
Embraced my soul
You loved my mind
You're the only angel in my life
The day news came my best friend died
My knees went week and you saw me cry
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
And never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
I know I don't fit in that much
But I'm yours

Send another long love letter
Just another long love letter
Send another long love letter straight to me

The butterflies are out from Charlottesville this morning
They were carryin' a letter addressed to me
As I tore the envelope open sunshine came pourin' out
All at once I set them best wishes free


You wrote "how's it been" in some crazy pen on paper
The red wine stain on the back had me green with envy
And the blues you sang on the b-side of that mixtape made me smile
Realized this love of ours might never be

You're upstate with Shakespeare 
I'm out west with Cassidy
As our long love letters pass like strangers in the night


Send another long love letter
Just another long love letter
Send another long love letter straight to me


You went on and on 'bout some new song and a change of seasons
Bout how Buckley's sketches kept you up all night
Though I did my best to lay to rest your fears about gettin' old
Truth be told it's been so long you just might be right


You're upstate with Shakespeare
I'm out west with Cassidy
As our long love letters pass like strangers in the night

Send another long love letter
Just another long love letter
Send another long love letter straight to me 

As I tore the envelope open sunshine came pourin' out
Realized this love of ours was so meant to be


Send another long love letter
Just another long love letter
Send another long love letter straight to me

All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why


But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be


I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Past Featured Story

Here we stand
Somewhere in between this moment and the end
Will we bend
Or will we open up and take this whole thing in

Everybody else is smiling
Man, their smiles don't fade
You don't even wonder why
You just don't think that way

Maybe you and me got lost somewhere
We cant move on, we can't stay here
Maybe we've just had enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love

You and me tried everything
But still that mockingbird won't sing
Man this life seems hard enough
Well maybe we ain't meant for this love
