watching the world go by
make love in the middle of a war zone
hey, you're never gonna die"

- Hunters and Collectors
 
"It's Christmas time, and the needles on the tree
A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
His voice is overwhelming, but his speech is slurred
And I only understand every other word"

from Elliott Smith's Kings Crossing.
 
Yeah, great line that.

"We can't spend our lives waiting to live." from Rise against - the dirt whispered.
 
FFDP- The Bleeding


Paint the mirrors black to forget you
I still picture your face and the way you used to taste
Roses in a glass, dead and wilted
To you this all was nothing
Everything to you is nothing


Well you're so filthy
I'm better off without you and you're better off without me
Well I'm so ugly
You're better off without me and I'm better off alone


The lying, the bleeding, the screaming
Was tearing me apart
The hatred, the beatings, disaster; it's over

As wicked as you are, you're beautiful to me
You're the darkest burning star, you're my perfect disease
 
"im just a little bit caught in the middle, life is a maze and love is a riddle"..
song from lenka and the title is the show..=)
 
oh god what happened to you? I barely recognize your face.
But we're past this. (just move past this).
oh god, I could spend the night tryin' to catch my shadow
"But it's time to grow up" she said "some things are simply out of reach"
Don't you dare stop pushing me away.

And it's a thin line between mistress and lover
it's the same bull**** line that says that this is forever
it's the same line they draw when you take two to the chest
it's the same line that flattens after cardiac arrest
And it's a line rehearsed that gets forgotten on stage
it's the line on your skin they cut so you never age
it's the same line that separates your brain from your heart
it's the line that you did that plans to tear you apart.

oh god what happened to you? I barely recognize your face.
But we're past this. (just move past this).
oh god, I could spend the night tryin' to catch my shadow
"But it's time to grow up" she said "some things are simply out of reach"
Don't you dare stop pushing me away.

and he said that he thinks that he feels like he's wasting all his time
but he can't help wond'ring if he neeRAB it all And he said

"You wanna talk about wasting time?
This isn't who I am, and it isn't who I'm ever going to be
Life is staring me right in the ****in' face not just
breathing down my neck and I barely recognize it."

he said. he said. he said. he said. he said. he said "The keys decay"

oh god what happened to you? I barely recognize your face.
But we're past this. (just move past this).

pushing me away. The satellite accellerates and I think I finally reached escape veloci-ty.
I still remeraber how it burned.
I couldn't close my eyes long enough to miss how it glowed.
And now I feel and see it each time we're close.
The sun just isn't bright enough. ****.
I get lost every second I find it.
I lose touch every time that i feel this.
the keys decay. I get lost every second I feel this.
the keys decay. I lose touch every time.

oh god what happened to you? I barely recognize your face.
But we're past this. (just move past this).
oh god, I could spend the night tryin' to catch my shadow

Don't you dare stop pushing me away.

LAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boo ****ing hoo, you're not the only one who's life's a piece of ****
And yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it
Did anybody really seriously think that you would slit your wrists
In fact I think that everybody thinks you're seriously full of ****

I am angry I am I'll and I'm as ugly as sin
My irritability keeps me alive and kicking
I know the meaning of life, it doesn't help me a bit
I know beauty and I know a good thing when I see it

This is a song from under the floorboarRAB
This is a song from where the wall is cracked
By force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact

I know the highest and the best
I accord them all due respect
But the brightest jewel inside of me
Glows with pleasure at my own stupidity

I used to make phantoms I could later chase
Images of all that could be desired
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings
And then I just got tired

But then so will a lie, it depenRAB if trying to get
To the promised land, or if your just trying to
get by" Ani Difranco
