(no subject)
The traffic's backed for miles
on these quiet suburban roads
while the rubber necking strangers
are dying to see this victim's wounds
cause he’s all alone
with his notebooks and poems
in this empty grave where he wrote
all of his secrets that became his lyrics
with no intent to show anyone
[Chorus]
and we give and we give
but its all for nothing
its all for nothing
we try to resist but I give
everything and its all for nothing
so the panic sets and cycles
his mind for restless sleep
while the blood sucking leeches
contaminate every line they read
just leave him alone in this dark room
this white sheet tightly wrapped cocoon
cause its no secret
I fucking need this
Like I don’t need anyone
[Chorus x2]
It's like I’m falling asleep with my eyes open
shutting down and off the lights
cause after all of this it’s all or nothing
still I wouldn’t try to fight
I've fallen asleep with my eyes open
(and you'll lie to all your friends)
(about sights you never saw)
shutting down and off the lights
(and you'll preach to all the press)
(about what you don't know at all)
cause after all of this it's all or nothing
still I wouldn't try to fight
So let me drown so I can breathe again
I’m through choking and suffocating
on alter egos and alterior motives
which weigh you down and take control of
the way you are and the things that you need
the life you live and the dreams that you dream
distort and blur all in slow motion
they broke down and now you're broken
and it’s sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but with out the beauty
so I stopped watching, I stopped caring
I lost all interest and I stopped wearing
these plastic smiles I’ll wash my hands clean
I'll forget that you forgot about me
and I’ll live the life, the big city feeling
cause it’s better than suburban dreaming
Living off the friends that hate you
who talk shit on me
like I don't know who my real friends are
anymore no I don’t know you anymore
and it’s sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but without the beauty
so I'll stopped watching, I'll stopped caring
[Singing in background]
(spill the ink and spill your guts again)
spill the ink and spill your guts again
I've fallen asleep with my eyes open
(and you'll lie to all your friends)
(about sights you never saw)
shutting down and off the lights
(and you'll preach to all the press)
(about what you don't know at all)
cause after all of this it's all or nothing
still I wouldn't try to fight
(I just thought that was a good song..) Its Garden Statement by Hidden In Plain View.
Who's cd I bought today by the way. I came home in the afternoon because school sucks and I havnt slept in 2 days. But thats another story. When I got home I just walked in the door and my mom was on the way to WalMart, the first thing she said to me when I said I was "sick" was "bullshit!" so she made me go to Walmart with her. Which ended up in going to West49 and then HMV to get the cd.
I am pretty happy about it finally being spring. When it was winter it was so depressing and everything was so grey and dull, now I am starting to realize how I always had so much fun in the summer. Just the past couple of days I have been able to do what I want and go where I want without worrying about the weather, its great. Today I also set up my trampoline, so I should be spending a great deal of time on that. So many great memories can be made on a peice of material with springs. Hopefully Lindsey won't get any more salt in her eye and/or fall off this year.
In hopes of a warm, enjoyable spring I leave you now while I lie on my trampoline and watch the sky.
