Woke up and wished that I was dead.
With an aching in my head, I lay motionless in bed.
I thought of you, and where you'd gone, let the world spin madly on.

And everything that I said I'd do-
Like make the world brand new, and take the time for you-
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
and the world spins madly on.

I let the day go by,
I always say "good-bye";
I watch the stars from my windowsill-
The whole world is moving, and I'm standing still.

I woke up and wished that I was dead.
With an aching in my head, I lay motionless in bed.
The night is here, the day is gone-
and the world spins madly on.

I thought of you, and where you'd gone-
and the world spins madly on.

All around me are familiar faces-
worn out places, worn out faces.
Bright and early for their daily races-
going nowhere, going nowhere.

Their tears are filling up their glasses-
no expression, no expression.
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow-
no tomorrow, no tomorrow.

And I find it kinda funny, find it kinda sad-
the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.
I find it hard to telll you, I find it hard to take-
when people run in circles, its a very very mad world.

Children waiting for the day they feel good-
hapy birthday, happy birthday-
and to feel the way that every child should-
sit and listen, sit and listen.

Went to school and I was very nervous-
no one knew me, no one knew me.
"Hello, teacher, tell me what's my lesson?"-
look right through me, look right through me.

And I find it kinda funny, find it kinda sad-
the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.
And I find it hard to tell you, find it hard to take-
when people run in circles its a very very mad world

whenever i go to sleep, i generally listen to a playlist that has both of these songs on it. both of them are quite depressing, but i can relate to both of them easily enough. especially the line of the second one,
"Went to school and I was very nervous-no one knew me, no one knew me." that's going to be one too many of us in the very near future.

as my move in date looms ever closer, my mounting excitement is battling my mounting anxiety. how are you supposed to stay in touch with anyone from other schools, when you're so far away and when you're so busy (knowing my friends, we'll all get involved on campus in something somehow, in addition to taking difficult classes.) yes, i'm excited to meet new people and form new friendships and establish myself separately from my family, but that doesn't mean i want to lose my high school friends. everyone i've talked to who's in college says that they've only stayed in really close touch with approximately 2 of their high school friends. that's not enough.

there are also so many people that i still want to see before i leave (which, btw, is september 7, if anyone's interested), and yet plans just don't get made. *sighs*

this is fact not fiction for the first time in years.
