anything but good

[billy_and_me]

i'm listening to the dresden dolls alot lately. a friend actually left me a myspace comment that said i remind her of amanda, which i thought was pretty freakin cool. i don't usually get compared to actual cool people very often.

oh and i wrote these lyrics on a flight today. different from the usual dark crap i've been writing lately. although it is still kind of dark i guess. but to me it's very light and hopeful. i guess i'm just weird like that. i hope everyone is having nice times. i'm hungry as all hell. i think i'm going to eat a cup-o-soup. bye bye, here's the new song:

*anything but good*

he's an automaton on autopilot now
wringing the sunshine out of my clouds
i don't know what i'll do with him
wasted, fallen down the stairs, clean up the wicked things you said.
it's too late to feel outside the lines
put all the girls on all of those magical school bus rides
i'll take back the letters that you wrote
on the backs of magazines and other things so much for those daydreams and ah

all the demons now are gone and
all the lies you told are falling down around me and
all the dreams you had are just
diving up into me and

i'm floating, i'm falling
well you know i gave you everything i had
i'm rusting, i'm dying
well you know i gave you everything i had
kept them at a distance for all these years
everyone thought you were such a saint
and now i'm ready
less than sorry
yes, i just can't feel anything but good.

pick up those photographs, throw them out again
those little ballerinas never called me their friend
i keep a photograph, a memory of you
and i'll never show anyone, just like you asked me to.

please don't throw me out again
please don't throw me out into the cold again
please don't throw me out again
i don't want to have to try and explain why

i'm floating, i'm falling
well you know i gave you everything i had
i'm rusting, i'm dying
well you know i gave you everything i had
kept them at a distance for all those years
everyone thought you were such a saint
and now i'm ready
less than sorry....

YEAH!
please don't try and explain to them the lies i told them
i don't want to see them turn cold and walk away
i can't feel sorry, can't feel empty, does that mean i'm less than you?
and if there's no one out there watching does that mean that we're alone?
oh...

i'm floating, i'm falling
well you know i gave you everything i had
i'm lonely, i'm so fucking lonely
and you know i gave you everything i had
kept you undercover for all these years
i wish i would have seen what i had done
...
and yet i'm ready
less than sorry
yeah, i just can't feel anything but good.
anything
anything
anything but good
wringing sunshine out of my clouds
(etc., to end)
