[probably inspired by the immense difficulty required to have a real conversation over a fake medium. This means you, aim.]
[kinda fast, kinda fun]
Okay,
we’ve been here all day,
so what do you want?
Our shadows
are getting a little
bit too long.
Can’t give you want you want, and I
don’t know what you need.
Please turn around.
Alright,
I got a life
I’m living down.
I can’t
make amends
to this town.
And I thought you were my ticket outta here
but it looks like I was wrong.
Are you coming down?
You been up in your tree so long
that I think the thin air’s messing with you
head and now you believe
That hangin round this coal-mine town is
just the thing to bring you back your soul,
make you happy… So you…
Sigh,
I’ll wait here all night,
for you to walk in.
I don’t
need to know
where you’ve been.
Cuz when I see the light in your eyes
starting to grow dim
that’s when I know.

Bad Dreams

May 31, 2004 – 5:50 pm

[with a whimsical feel]
Sometimes I dream I lost my friends.
I told them lies that left them all defenseless
just to get away from their ugly pretenses
and let them know that I am fine alone.
Sometimes I throw out my guitar
or leave it burning and the ashes are scattered
but the muse inside just turns on in in laughter.
Seems he never shuts up.
Bad dreams… Life seems… like I’m half asleep.
Find myself on an overpass.
Souls fly by and I am driven to laughter
at the mere thought of life and death and after
and what it means to them.
Sometimes I lay down my life
and sacrifices are to great not to offer.
Dischord screaaaams, but peace is always softer.
And that’s the best we can do.
Bad dreams… Life seems… like I’m half asleep.
Give me time and it will work itself out.
That’s what I tell myself to drive away the doubt that things will
Ever change now.
And everybody must have days like these
And nights as lonely as the inside of me, yeah but
I can’t complain now.
I guess I found that the mistakes we make are the
Things that keep us wide awake yet
Bind us together.
I don’t profess to have all the answers and
Lord knows I can’t keep it all together the
Way you think I should be.
Bad dreams… Bad dreams…

I know.

May 31, 2004 – 5:37 pm

I know
you don’t
get out
that much
I guess
I can
see why.
I know
I’m not
alright
most times.
Anxious
Nervous
Not right.
The one
feeling
I get
that’s strong
enough
to feel
is bad.
You think
I’m so
special
I know.
I think
I let
you down.
