So here's the deal. I pick seven favorite songs (for the moment) and I list them here, explaining why they are my favorites. Then, and this is where you come in, I get to pick seven people to do it, too.

Yeah, I don't have seven people on my friends lists... so I tag no one, haha.

SO here we go, seven favorite songs of the moment. I can't describe why I like them in detail, because I just like them. It's the emotion they evoke, I suppose.
I'm also very tired and not very coherent. Excuse the stupidness...ness.


the December Drive - This Side You've Never Seen
The passion with which this song is sung is fucking amazing. You can hear the emotion in his voice. I really, really love this song. It's abso-fucking-lutely amazing.
weather ridden days.
remind you of enough to reason.
reasons not explained.
just not enough for you to care.
in time i'll know enough to know better.
make your choice now.
don't let this fade.
just like what you left before.
and what you miss now.
in time you'll know enough to know better.
just scream out loud.
i gave more.
hardly breathing on my own.
don't have the words to say to you.
and ill keep holding on.
ill keep breathing.
it's not enough.
not meant for you.
before this nigh breaks.
before this night takes you.
just breathe.


the Mars Volta - Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt
It's the Mars Volta. duh.
You must have been phlegmatic in stature
The gates of thanos are a spread eagle wide
You let the shutters make sackcloth and ashes
Out of a blind mans picaresque heart

You take the veil
You'll take the dive
You take the veil

It's not over till the tremulant sings
These ides of march
Are they so make believe
How tempts the revenant
Slice up and not across

You take the veil
You'll take the dive
You take the veil

A mass of gallon sloth
As flys have walls for feet
A rapturous verbatim-someone said but who is to know
And when you find the fringe
The one last hit that spent you
You'll find the ossuary spilling by the day

The iconoclastic had it coming for years
They know the prisons that you have yet to fear
Where thumbs hide inside of sleepingbag mouths
Adlib your memoires by casting a drought

You take the veil
You'll take the dive
You take the veil

A mass of gallon sloth
As flys have walls for feet
A rapturous verbatim-someone said but who is to know
And when you find the fringe
The one last hit that spent you
You'll find the ossuary spilling by the day

Knife me in -hobbeling
Talking in it's sleep again
Knife me in-hobbeling
Talking in it's sleep again

The one last hit that spent you
And you will find
The greatest fucking lie
Of aneurysm vespers
The ones that pile
Up the greatest fucking lies

Knife me in hobbling
Talking in it's sleep again
Knife me in hobbling
Talking in It's sleep again

Virulent hives- of bedpost piles
Virulent hives

Who brought me here
Forsaken,depraved and wrought with fear
Who turned it off
The last thing I remember now
Who brought me here
Forsaken,depraved and wrought with fear
Who turned it off
The last thing I remember now
Who brought me here


Bayside - Just Enough to Love You
Bayside is one of my favorite bands ever. I love them. Haha.
Push me out from the darkness
To a sky that's colored blue
Somewhere someone's finding happiness
While I'm still here so hung up on you

Nothing is real
And I want you to know
That I'm not alright
When you tear open my chest
I'll try not to flinch
Won't make promises
You taught me that I'm still losing what's left out
My self esteem
And I'm still watching the slow fading of all my daydreams

The hardest things to say are the words that mean the most
So I'll bite my tongue til it bleeds and I doubt you'll even know
The easiest thing to fake's a feeling to fool someone else
And I've been tricked for so long by you that I spent these last few months in my own hell

A failed apology
A day too late but now I see
That all you really want's to see me dangle neck first from a tree
But what would you need me for
You've got friends galore
And all you'll ever be to me's a stupid lying excuse for a person

I could call
But I know that you won't be there to pick up the phone
You don't have time for me
I could call but I know you won't get the phone
Don't have time for me

I hate myself
For loving you like this
I hate myself for hating myself
Just enough to love you
Just enough to love you


Thursday - I Am the Killer
Thursday is another one of my top ten favorite bands, period. This song has been stuck in my head for quite a while now.
Tuesday wakes up silent
And there aren't enough pills to sleep
And then it cuts out like miswired shortwave radio
It's over
But nothing can change to ever make it right
When you live in a nightmare
It's written all over your face.

And in a short time
You're never the same again
The distance is streamlined
Between decision and defense:

Distorient the senses
Loss of identity
No one to trust

Life runs through this trade
I am no killer
But I still hide my face
In the coming days

I wake up every morning
From the same dream
And then I kill it
But you can't change the letters when the ink dries

I woke up on the sidewalk and everything just changed
Now the lights are blinking but I can't see anything

Everything is falling apart:
Crumpled paper
Crushed tin cans
Broken bottles
Paper scraps
We all look the same
We all look the same
But I am the killer


the Bled - I Never Met Another Gemini
I don't know. I just love it. Haha.
Slowly we peel away the layers and the light seeps through the cracks.
You whispered softly in my ear,
"the birth of mornings upon us, dear",
the bandages fell upon the floor.
And there was no one in that room.
It's quiet down the hallway where the doctors wash their hands.
Behind my eyes I feel the hollow jabs of your morphine kiss.
Your anesthetic voice is autographed upon my bones.
This reception died in vein.
In vain.
A tarnished angel leaves her ghost on the surface.
A jealous daughter starves to death for the mother as I awaited your return.
I wait for your return.
It seems the only way that I will ever feel alive.
Throw myself into my injuries and close my eyes.
I'd give anything to feel alive.
And I will wait for you tonight.
This scalpel carves a map for you.


the Ballad of Maxwell Demon
Ever since I first saw Velvet Goldmine I've been in love with this song. I love the movie and I love all of the music from it. I just can't think of a better reason to love this song than picturing Jonathon Rhys-Myers halfnaked. Haha.
Got tired of wasting gas living above the planet,
Mister, show me the way to Earth,
The boys of Quadrant 44, with their vicious metal hounds,
Never come around here no more,
Sometimes I wonder if I'm still alive,
Six feet down at age 25,
Maxwell Leather Demon rock hand jive,

I came down like water for the age of solar,
Hail to the father,
Kiss your sons and your daughters,
Goodbye, goodbye,
Steam steady roller,
Lady tongue controller,
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down,

Despite the great duress, always get off 'cause damn it!
It's the only sure fire way to win,
Your poison doesn't hurt me, no,
Tender wine disguised in a milk-fat fair kiddie show,

I'm here to celebrate the one below,
At last I've heard from good God above
As the slap on my ass by a lipstick-kissed elbow glove


InMemory - If Shadows Wrote Diaries
I just really like the lyrics of this one. I'm a pretty big InMemory fan as well. I don't know, ever since the first time I listened to this song it just sort of clicked with me. I listen to it a lot.... I don't know... I just really like this song. I really like ALL InMemory songs, actually.
Should have killed me right then
Even now, I would never trade places
Why can't everyone live
In a room full of helium balloons

It's easily, the hardest thing
I've done

Try these on for size
In three days and six weeks i'll be alright
Or I'll tear them out
Kiss me now, kiss me now

Too bad we could've been
A great pair
You be flesh I'll be concrete
And we'll bruise as we mate
But please smile, as you'll bleed on your way home

It's easily, the hardest thing
I've done

Try these on for size
In three days and six weeks I'll be alright
Or I'll tear them out
Kiss me now, kiss me now

Try these on for size
In three days and six weeks i'll be alright
Or i'll tear them out
Kiss me now, kiss me now
Kiss me now, kiss me now

It's easily, the hardest thing
I've done
It's easily, the hardest thing
I've done

You'll be concrete I'll be flesh
And we'll smile as we mate

Try these on for size
Kiss me now, kiss me now

I have a stomach ache.
the end. ♥
