just because we're breathing doesn't mean that we're alive
draw a line through the things that made you happy, the things that made you sad.
a giant strike through everything you ever thought you had. a line across those faces you only thought you knew, we're crossing out the memories of lives burnt out too soon. bitter lines block out days when we knew better and nights spent chasing dreams, the days when friends could still be everything they seemed. A line to chase away the same new beginnings with their tired old endings. A line across every failed attempt, every abandoned plan, every second chance. Block out that lingering past and erase our shitty future. Draw a line through your fears and your ego, a line through your love, lust and libido. A line through selfish pride, anger and remorse. Draw lines through those around you until it can't get any worse.
....I got the new(est) blacklisted cd finally and the lyrics are making me want to write stuff. I love writing but I'm pretty self conscious I guess...so like, while I'm writing I'm all like "you suck raymond, way to suck" and I think I try too hard and that might end up making it suck more. Regardless of that I still like posting it on the internet....I think it's because whether or not I'm good at it or people like it, writing is one of the only things that, when I'm doing it...I feel like I'm supposed to be doing it...like sometimes it just comes out and it makes me feel better.
Another thing about this band is listening to them makes me really wish I was in a band...a hardcore band probably cause they're the most fun for me live. I feel like that when I listen to hardcore pretty much all the time, but these guys make me feel like I could do it. Minus the part where I don't know anything about making music, other than that though....totally do-able.
