myurbandreami'm in a really... wistful mood, i think. i'm taking a breather (literally) from spackling in the bathroom- it gets really hot in there even with the door and window open, because of the shape of the room and the heat that the lights give off. especially having two people in there, and the smell of the spackle in the heat gets to me after a bit. *huffs* anyway, today's feeling really slow and... sedate. i want to put music on and just clean up all day. it's that kind of day.
--how to save a life
step one, you say we need to talk
he walks, you say
sit down it's just a talk
he smiles politely back at you
you stare politely right on through
some sort of window to your eye
he goes left and you stay right
between the lines
of fear and blame
and you begin to wonder why you came
where did i go wrong
i lost a friend
somewhere in all this bitterness
...
let him know that you know best
cause after all you do know best
...
lay down a list of what is wrong
things you told him all along
pray to god he hears you
and i pray to god he hears you
...
as he begins to raise to raise his voice
you lower yours, and grant him one last choice
drive until you lose the road
and break with the ones who follow
he will do one of two things
he will admit to everything
or he'll say he's just not the same
and you'll begin to wonder why
--prelude 12/21
this is what i brought you, this you can keep
this is what i brought, you may forget me
i promise to depart, just promise one thing
kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
this is what i brought you, this you can keep
this is what i brought, you may forget me
i promise you my heart, just promise to sing
kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
this is what i thought, i thought you need me
this is what i thought so think me naive
i promised you a heart, you'd promise to keep
kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
kiss my eyes and lay me to
sleep
--left and leaving
my city is still breathing, but barely, it's true
through buildings gone missing like teeth
the sidewalks are watching me think about you
sparkled with broken glass
i'm back with scars to show
back with the streets i know
well never take me anywhere but here
