                <description><![CDATA[ There's a weight over me today.<br />It's something I have to say.<br />Love you too much to leave, <br />Don't like you enough to stay.<br /><br />My head's in a mess<br />And I'm stressed,<br />But I guess its a test <br />In the quest for happiness<br />And the rest of that mess<br />So I best just acquiesce<br />Even though I've grown tired of you<br /><br />And that ain't meant to sound spiteful,<br />I'm just trying to be insightful.<br />When I write all my emotions<br />In the night, all the stuff I try to fight<br />Will just come out <br />And the sad fact is...<br />I'm so tired of you<br /><br />Love, its a weird thing ain't it?<br />There's no way to explain it<br />But I swear as well as pain<br />There should be joy, but we sustain<br />The same level of mundane<br />And it's numbing me through<br /><br />I often wonder if I'd miss you<br />And still have the urge to kiss you<br />If an issue was to hit through<br />To this heart that now feels disused<br />And said issue was too big to just ignore...<br />And I walked out on you<br /><br />The chances are I'd fall apart<br />And suffer seizures of the heart<br />As my chest begins to smart<br />The very second I have to part<br />I'd want to go back to the start<br />But then again... <br />Maybe I'd just feel new<br /><br />Maybe I'd get my life on track<br />And start to focus my attack<br />On all the things my life just lacks<br />And start to claw my passion back<br />Instead of living like a hack,<br />Half committed half relaxed,<br />Cause I'd have nothing to lose<br /><br />There's a weight over me today<br />It's something I have to say<br />Love you too much to leave<br />Don't like you enough to stay<br /><br />I guess lately I've had too much time to think<br />And, yeah, way too much drink<br />When paper meets the ink<br />Over-thinking is the chink in my armour<br />That's just what I do.<br /><br />And I've always been that way -- <br />Forever questioning each day <br />And every plea that's made <br />That maybe when i lay my busy mind <br />Will make me prove by finding problems and reasons, <br />That might not even be true.<br /><br />See we got together so young,<br />Before our real lives had begun.<br />But flowers don't grow up as one.<br />Each finds its own way to the sun,<br />And that's exactly what we've done.<br />We've grown up separately too.<br /><br />And for a few years now <br />It's been the problem,<br />And these realisations -- <br />I wish that I could stop them<br />But I've realised that love <br />Is all we have in common<br />and deep down you know that's true.<br /><br />But then surely that I'm still in love with you <br />Means there's something we can do<br />To get us through and to pursue <br />A brand new point of view <br />On how this gap grew... <br />Between me and you.<br /><br />So there's a weight over me <br />And I'd hate to have to leave<br />But in fate I don't believe <br />And the state of you and me <br />Isn't great as you can see...<br />So I'll keep thinking this through.<br /><br />There's a weight over me today<br />it's something I have to say<br />love you too much to leave<br />don't like you enough to stay<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wake all the children from their slumber<br />
Before they wonder<br />
Why the dreams have gone to hell<br />
<br />
Wake all the children from their sleep<br />
Down the staircase we shall creep<br />
To the basement of this white picket home<br />
<br />
Let's show them where the bad ones go<br />
For all they know<br />
For all they know<br />
Their heroes are still untouchable<br />
What they don't know<br />
What they don't know<br />
<br />
All the preachers and all the ministers<br />
Administer those sinister looks<br />
They teach from a liar's chair<br />
A pulpit mounted on a child's prayer <br />
<br />
You'll find the cross only fits<br />
When your hands and feet are nailed to it<br />
"Can we get a picture with the pauper<br />
And another with the prince?"<br />
Ma'am, he's got your daughter wrapped in his fists<br />
<br />
To the boys and girls he's alabaster<br />
But to his brothers, just another bastard<br />
With a story about a girl<br />
Enough to make you sick<br />
And how she made him king of her gracious hips<br />
Yeah, she's found a way to crown his fingertips<br />
<br />
We'll see if you can find your smile, tooth by tooth<br />
<br />
Let's show them where the bad ones go<br />
Another case of a sheep bearing a broken nose<br />
Let's show them where the bad ones go<br />
Color your criminal -<br />
Paint black lines on your bones<br />
<br />
Wake all the children from their sleep<br />
He's robbing pillow-cased dreams and selling cheap<br />
What lives below he wouldn't know<br />
So let's tell them where the bad ones go<br />
<br />
You curse the tail between your legs<br />
Blue-faced and black-jawed<br />
Your innocent eyes rotted<br />
From your bedroom in the night<br />
A lesson from the learned<br />
And if your skin won't fit<br />
Don't sell your soul just yet<br />
<br />
If the herd is the temptation<br />
That the faithless can't evade,<br />
"We ate all forbidden grapes <br />
and retreated to the vineyard<br />
To the void in which we dwell<br />
With a tortured youth and heartaches we'll sell<br />
I'll be the blood and body if you'll ring that bell."<br />
<br />
Let's see if you can find your smile, tooth by tooth<br />
<br />
Let's show them where the bad ones go<br />
Another case of a sheep bearing a broken nose<br />
Let's show them where the bad ones go<br />
Color your criminal -<br />
Paint black lines on your bones<br />
<br />
Wake all the children from their sleep<br />
He's robbing pillow-cased dreams and selling cheap<br />
What lives below he wouldn't know<br />
So let's tell them where the bad ones go<br />
<br />
You'll go down in history<br />
With notebooks, pens, and melodies<br />
But you're running from all of us<br />
You're running from all of us<br />
You're running from all your love<br />
<br />
Wake all the children from their sleep<br />
He's robbing pillow-cased dreams and selling cheap<br />
What lives below he wouldn't know<br />
So let's tell them where the bad ones go<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ What if you find out<br />
Everyone that's in your life<br />
Is only being paid off<br />
By a T.V. studio<br />
And every conversation<br />
Everyone's had with you<br />
Was scripted by the writers<br />
Living in Los Angeles<br />
<br />
Smile for the camera<br />
<br />
Put on a show for the viewers back home<br />
Hide the truth so they'll never know<br />
You hate what you got<br />
Can't you love what you got?<br />
So smile for the cameras that keep rolling<br />
<br />
What if you find out<br />
Everything that's in your life<br />
Was only put in front of you<br />
By people waiting for you to fall<br />
And every time you trip up<br />
Is all just a game<br />
Nothing's really mattered<br />
Nothing was as bad as you thought it was<br />
<br />
Smile for the camera<br />
<br />
Put on a show for the viewers back home<br />
Hide the truth so they'll never know<br />
You hate what you got<br />
Can't you love what you got?<br />
So smile for the cameras that keep rolling<br />
<br />
The banquet the reception, it was all for you<br />
Affectionate obsession from the masses grew<br />
But little do they all know<br />
You're just scared<br />
You're just scared of when they'll write you off your own show<br />
<br />
Put on a show for the viewers back home<br />
Hide the truth so they'll never know<br />
You hate what you got<br />
Can't you love what you got?<br />
So smile for the cameras that keep rolling<br />
<br />
Love what you got, can't you love what you got?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So while I'm turning in my sheets<br />
And once again I cannot sleep<br />
Walk out the door and up the street<br />
Look at the stars beneath my feet<br />
Remember rights that I did wrong<br />
So here I go<br />
<br />
Hello, hello?<br />
There is no place I cannot go<br />
My mind is muddy, but<br />
My heart is heavy - does it show?<br />
I lose the track that loses me<br />
So here I go<br />
<br />
And so I sent some men to fight<br />
And one came back at dead of night<br />
Said he'd seen my enemy<br />
Said he looked just like me<br />
So I set out to cut myself<br />
And here I go<br />
<br />
IÂm not calling for a second chance<br />
I'm screaming at the top of my voice<br />
Give me reason, but donÂt give me choice<br />
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again<br />
<br />
And maybe someday we will meet<br />
And maybe talk but not just speak<br />
Dont buy the promises cause<br />
There are no promises I keep<br />
And my reflection troubles me<br />
So here I go<br />
<br />
IÂm not calling for a second chance<br />
IÂm screaming at the top of my voice<br />
Give me reason, but donÂt give me choice<br />
Cause I'll just make the same mistake<br />
<br />
IÂm not calling for a second chance<br />

So while I'm turning in my sheets<br />
<br />
And once again I cannot sleep<br />
<br />
Walk out the door and up the street<br />
<br />
Look at the stars<br />
<br />
Look at the stars falling down<br />
<br />
And I wonder where<br />
<br />
Did I go wrong?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ we can split germany right down the middle<br />
you'd hate it there anyway <br />
take berlin and we'll call it even<br />
<br />
you can take all of the carry-on baggage<br />
i'll trade the saskia jokes for the alphabet language<br />
<br />
and if we find out that we have any children<br />
we'll trade them off summers and alternating weekends<br />
<br />
you call it over and i call you psycho <br />
significant other?<br />
just say we were lovers and we'll call it even<br />
we'll call it even<br />
<br />
i am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered<br />
disgused as a hero to get past your borders<br />
i know when i'm wanted i'll leave when you ask me to<br />
mind my own business and speak when i'm spoken to<br />
<br />
i am the tower around which you orbited <br />
i am not proud i am just taking orders<br />
i fall to the groud within moments of impact<br />
i hit back if hit<br />
and attack if attacked<br />
<br />
you get route two between concord and lexington<br />
i want mass ave from the sqaure to my apartment<br />
<br />
and if we should meet through some misunderstanding<br />
ill be very sweet very patient and forgiving<br />
(now get off my side of the state)<br />
<br />
and if we should meet one another in passing<br />
despite these techniques there is sometimes no avoiding<br />
(there must be some kind of mistake) <br />
<br />
we'll raise high our white flags and say hi and shake hands<br />
declaring the land we're on unamerican <br />
we'll call it even<br />
<br />
i am the tower around which you orbited <br />
i am not proud i am just taking orders<br />
i fall to the groud within moments of impact<br />
i hit back if hit<br />
and attack if attacked<br />
<br />
i am an accident waiting to happen<br />
i'm laughing like mad while you strangle the captain<br />
my place may be taken, but make no mistake<br />
from a little black black box i can say without shame<br />
that you've lost<br />
do you know what you've lost?<br />
<br />
so take whatever you'd like<br />
i'll strike like the States on fire<br />
you won't sleep very tight<br />
no hiding <br />
no safe covers<br />
make your bed and now lie<br />
just like you always do<br />
you can fake it for the papers but i'm on to you....<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The fields are near<br />
And I won't trust the air with secrets<br />
I can't stop holding this treasure in my arms<br />
For all the water in the ocean<br />
Could never turn this swans legs from black to white<br />
<br />
Let them say... <br />
Let them say... <br />
Let them say what they please.<br />
<br />
You won't be leaving my arms ever,<br />
I promise you that<br />
Even if you want me to let go honey<br />
Even if you want me to let go<br />
You won't be leaving my arms ever,<br />
I promise you that<br />
Even if you want me to let go honey<br />
Even if you say the things that make me want to miss you<br />
<br />
We went on drinkin' and celebrating something<br />
I looked at you and said that "I'm forever yours"<br />
You looked at me and said <br />
"Oh, the idea of being in love..."<br />
The idea... <br />
The idea of being forever yours.<br />
<br />
You won't be leaving my arms ever<br />
I promise you that<br />
Even if you want me to let go honey<br />
Even if you want me to let go<br />
You won't be leaving my arms ever<br />
I promise you that<br />
Even if you want me to let go honey<br />
Even if you say the things that make me want to miss you<br />
<br />
Scream it from the <br />
You said to me lonely and pleading, phantasm<br />
We only get what we see<br />
Gazing too desperately<br />
Between the things that we feel<br />
Gazing too desperately<br />
In every dilusion we're watching segregated illusions<br />
Between the things that we see <br />
And the things that we feel<br />
Oh no...<br />
<br />
It won't make them disappear <br />
<br />
You won't be leaving my arms ever<br />
I promise you that<br />
Even if you want me to let go honey<br />
Even if you want me to let go<br />
You won't be leaving my arms ever<br />
I promise you that<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ May you find solace in the gentle arms of sleep<br />
Despite the wolves outside your door<br />
In time you will see them all as harmless<br />
And their idle threats easy to ignore<br />
<br />
And if ever fate should choose to smite you<br />
Stand your ground, never walk away<br />
Please don't ever let the world defeat you<br />
Don't get buried in its decay<br />
<br />
As you drift into the gauzy realm of dreams<br />
May you take comfort in the thought that you are safe<br />
For it only takes a fraction of a second<br />
For all of this to change<br />
<br />
Return to me <br />
When slumber's fog has lifted<br />
Return to me <br />
Stronger than before<br />
<br />
As you sink beneath the soothing streams of time<br />
May you be thankful that you had another day<br />
For there comes a time when each of us will enter<br />
A sleep from which we will never wake<br />
<br />
And if ever fate should choose to smite you<br />
Stand your ground, never walk away<br />
Please don't ever let the world defeat you<br />
Don't get buried in its decay<br />
<br />
Close your eyes now, if only for a moment<br />
For it's time you get some rest<br />
The wolves are gone and nothing here can harm you<br />
Let go of your fragile consciousness<br />
<br />
Return to me<br />
When slumber's fog has lifted<br />
Return to me <br />
Stronger than before<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Thanks a lot.<br />
I've been disadvantaged from the start. <br />
He constricted the veins heading straight to my head,<br />
Rerouted the blood to my heart instead.<br />
<br />
I am braindead,<br />
Thinking in strictly in blues and reds.<br />
I'm in enough trouble man...<br />
Oh man, I'm in trouble again.<br />
Cause everyone's ears are watching me,<br />
But I never, ever felt that this would be <br />
Anything more than a makeshift personal IV.<br />
<br />
I fall three times as hard.<br />
If it's from nothing at all<br />
You all seem twice as tall as I will ever be.<br />
'Cause I feel terribly small.<br />
When my head works too hard.<br />
When you think with your chest,<br />
There's not a thing that you don't see.<br />
<br />
I'm hardly capable of half the damage that I would like to do.<br />
I could swear that I don't care,<br />
But you know I'm too full of shit to think this through.<br />
Look at me,<br />
I pray to God<br />
But swear too much to be considered true.<br />
I'm just like me, I'm just like me.<br />
So who the hell are you?<br />
<br />
I'm but a boy,<br />
Just like the rest of these thieves.<br />
I borrow phrases, from dusty, faded, record sleeves.<br />
The story is the same.<br />
I've just personalized the name.<br />
But if it's all you need,<br />
Then I'd be more than happy to confess my shame.<br />
<br />
Cause I fall three times as hard<br />
If it's from nothing at all<br />
You all seem twice as tall as I will ever be<br />
Cause I feel terribly small<br />
When my head works too hard<br />
When you think with your chest<br />
There's not a thing that you don't see<br />
<br />
I'm hardly capable of half the damage<br />
That I would like to do<br />
I could swear that I don't care<br />
But you know I'm too full of shit to think this through<br />
So look at me<br />
I pray to God<br />
But curse too much to be considered true<br />
I'm just like me, I'm just like me<br />
So who the hell are you?<br />
<br />
I know you think you know,<br />
But these eyelids are windows <br />
That shut you out from all the things <br />
That I don't want you to know.<br />
And I refuse to tell you one single secret I own.<br />
'Cause you'll find I'm petrified <br />
Of your eyes.<br />
<br />
I'm hardly capable of half the damage that I would like to do.<br />
I could swear that I don't care,<br />
But you know I'm too full of shit to think this through.<br />
I've read the book,<br />
I prayed to God,<br />
But cursed too much to be considered true.<br />
I'm just like me, I'm just like me..<br />
So who the hell are you? <br />
<br />
The road turned into a snake<br />
It looked at my veins and said<br />
"It's in your blood."<br />
That's when I tried to run<br />
But it was way too dark<br />
I got scared<br />
Ran into your arms<br />
Oh sweet chemical predicament<br />
Can't stop, can't change the evident<br />
<br />
Predisposed to forget the best part<br />
The story where the hero dies without regard<br />
Made sure that the needle is clean<br />
When I let myself fall asleep<br />
And all I kept was a piece of your picture<br />
It slipped from my fingers<br />
When I slid into my dreams<br />
<br />
It's not as deep as it seems<br />
And unfair as it may be<br />
I'm just here to remind you<br />
Remind you not to forget to remember me <br />
<br />
I know you know how it feels<br />
To make a clean break<br />
My bones are your bones<br />
My home is your home<br />
You must be so confused<br />
I got scared and ran away from you<br />
Oh sweet divine predicament<br />
I can't hide, I can't change the evident<br />
<br />
Predisposed to trust a photograph<br />
To portray the way you used to laugh<br />
Do you recall the day you wed?<br />
Such a radiant bride<br />
You couldn't wait to see your first born<br />
Take his very first steps<br />
Then you smiled at him<br />
Cause you thought he looked like me<br />
<br />
It's not as deep as it seems<br />
And unfair as it may be<br />
I'm just here to remind you<br />
Remind you not to forget to remember me<br />
<br />
Now that I've dodged your question so much<br />
I don't possess the strength to answer straight<br />
And no, I'm not afraid<br />
At least not to die<br />
I'm afraid to live and not remember why<br />
Sweet chemical indifference<br />
I can't stop, can't change the evident<br />
<br />
Predisposed to perpetual sickness<br />
I refuse to let you all be witness<br />
Make the sure the needle is clean<br />
When you let me go back to sleep<br />
And situate the piece of her picture<br />
Underneath my fingers<br />
It protects me in my dreams<br />
<br />
It's not as deep as it seems<br />
And unfair as it may be<br />
I'm just here to remind you<br />
Remind you not to forget to remember me<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The beat that my heart skipped sounded like this..<br />
<br />
Every now and then I cower <br />
And I need to find empowerment<br />
Empowerment is paramount <br />
To how I can begin to mount<br />
A plan that I can implement <br />
To make a dent on ignorance<br />
Instead of drunk belligerence <br />
And the dissidence of miscreants<br />
Especially in this instance <br />
With the never ending persistence <br />
To use the words in each sentence <br />
As if they were blunt instruments <br />
To beat a hole in the defence <br />
Of this beauty and her innocence <br />
Which serves to just build resistance <br />
In spite of all my good intents.<br />
<br />
The beat that my heart skipped<br />
This is the beat that my heart skipped..<br />
This is the beat that <br />
My<br />
Heart<br />
Skipped<br />
<br />
This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met<br />
Now that IÂve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret<br />
No disrespect<br />
But we left a lot of people upset<br />
What we had wasnÂt really what weÂd come to expect<br />
<br />
Well good god damn and other such phrases<br />
I havenÂt heard a beat like this in ages<br />
To miss such a beat would have been outrageous <br />
When your heart skips a beat, it's ruthless and aimless<br />
<br />
She caught my attention in her fishnets<br />
And then she reeled me in, <br />
Expecting nothing more than kissed necks and quick sex<br />
But that werenÂt the case with this platinum princess<br />
SheÂd attracted my interest<br />
So I wanted to impressÂ<br />
Upon her all the positive things<br />
That come from having more than just a one night fling<br />
But thatÂs something <br />
Easier in theory than in practice <br />
Since pick up lines are tactics<br />
To get prey to the mattress<br />
And this actress<br />
Is practiced <br />
In shunning such theatrics<br />
When put upon daily by tactless geriatrics<br />
<br />
All my genuine advances are met with po-faced skepticism<br />
Throwing complements but she just straight elects to miss them<br />
Her lips were put on this earth for dispersing wisdom<br />
God forbid I suggest she lets me kiss them<br />
<br />
But I really want to know what she thinks of me <br />
Because IÂm loving every idiosyncrasy <br />
<br />
But I ainÂt one to jump through hoops to make a first impression<br />
Been there, done that -- learnt the worst of lessons<br />
We want to be loved for who we appear to be <br />
Instead of who we are<br />
So our real selves take a backseat behind the pomp and the faÃ§ade<br />
And thatÂs as true of the rude boys, downing pints and acting hard<br />
As of the kids shunning convention with clinical disregard<br />
<br />
This is the beat that <br />
My <br />
Heart  <br />
Skipped~<br />
 <br />
This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met<br />
Now that IÂve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret<br />
No disrespect<br />
But we left a lot of people upset<br />
And what we had wasnÂt really what weÂd come to expect<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Come around and say you love me<br />
Hang your heart in lights above me<br />
Is that too much to ask for?<br />
When the night descends upon us<br />
Take a shower, dry your hair by the furnace<br />
I'll watch you from the corner<br />
<br />
Telephones and old typewriters<br />
Words of love along the wires<br />
Let's make it work tonight<br />
Telepgraphs and birds that fly<br />
Through air so still you hear me sigh<br />
Let's make it work tonight<br />
Tonight, tonight<br />
<br />
Then furious, you threw the picture<br />
I, cap in hand, an awful mixture<br />
That kind of hard love is the worst<br />
I try to speak but you don't hear me<br />
When you're gone you still feel near me<br />
For awhile, for a little while<br />
<br />
I've tried telephones and old typewriters<br />
Words of love along the wires<br />
But nothing is working tonight<br />
I've tried telegraphs and birds that fly<br />
Through air so still you hear me sigh<br />
But nothing is working tonight<br />
Tonight<br />
Please let's make it work tonight<br />
Please let's make it work tonight<br />
Tonight<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Even though I know it's only chemical<br />
These peaks and valleys are beginning to take their toll<br />
Try to convince myself that all it takes is time<br />
But the most derisive voice I hear is mine<br />
<br />
It opens all the scars on me<br />
It leaves me shaken in my belief<br />
It takes my hand just to drag me down<br />
It makes me a stranger in the crowd<br />
<br />
Give me isolation just for now<br />
I feel a hard rain coming down<br />
I promise that I will be back soon<br />
But for now I'll return to my cocoon<br />
<br />
There is thunder in the distance and the sky grows gray<br />
There is lightning in the clouds in search of prey<br />
It's not a matter of if as much as when<br />
The clouds will break and the rainfall will begin<br />
<br />
It opens all the scars on me<br />
It leaves me shaken in my belief<br />
It takes my hand just to drag me down<br />
It makes me a stranger in the crowd<br />
<br />
Give me isolation just for now<br />
I feel a hard rain coming down<br />
I promise that I will be back soon<br />
But for now I'll return to my cocoon<br />
<br />
Cracks in the chrysalis spread out like tiny snakes<br />
That hiss a litany of rumors and mistakes<br />
But I'm afraid their cause is fraught with futility<br />
There is nothing more that they can take from me<br />
<br />
It opens all the scars on me<br />
It leaves me shaken in my belief<br />
It takes my hand just to drag me down<br />
It makes me a stranger in the crowd<br />
<br />
Give me isolation just for now<br />
I feel a hard rain coming down<br />
I promise that I will be back soon<br />
But for now I'll return to my cocoon<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello, if you're there pick up the phone<br />
I'm calling from 30,000 feet above you<br />
The captain's just informed us that our plane is going down<br />
So I'm calling for one last time to say I love you<br />
<br />
I'm not certain how much time I may have left, so I'll be brief<br />
I'm sorry if this message only amplifies your grief<br />
But I couldn't bear the burden of never having said goodbye<br />
And the pain you feel, I promise you, will go away with time<br />
<br />
I'm sorry I won't be there to see our children grow<br />
Please tell them that I loved them more than they will ever know<br />
Tell my family and friends how much I loved them all as well<br />
I'm sure that we will meet again, but only time will tell<br />
<br />
I'm sorry most of all I won't be there when you grow old<br />
To be there by your side and keep you warm when you are cold<br />
Forgive me, but I think my time is drawing to a close<br />
So I've one last thing to tell you now before I have to go<br />
<br />
I...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is a letter<br />
From God..<br />
To man<br /><br />H-Hey there<br />
H-HowÂs it going?<br />
Long time no.. <br />
See?<br />
I-I know I havenÂt been around much lately but <br />
It didnÂt seem like you wanted me to be.<br />
<br />
The last time I sent down a message, you nailed it to a cross.<br />
So I figured... I'd just leave you to it and let you be your own boss.<br />
But IÂve been keeping an eye on you, I have. And itÂs amazing how youÂve grown.<br />
All your technological advances and the problems youÂve overthrown.<br />
<br />
And all the beautiful art youÂve created with such grace and such finesse.<br />
But I admit there are a few things, IÂm afraid, have impressed me less.<br />
So IÂm writing to apologise for all the horrors committed in my name.<br />
Although it was never what I intended, I feel I should take my share of the blame.<br />
<br />
A lot of the good I tried to do was corrupted when organized religion got into full swing.<br />
What I thought were quite clear messages were taken to unusual extremes.<br />
My teachings taken out of context to meet the agenda of others.<br />
Interpretations taken in many different ways and hidden meanings ÂdiscoveredÂ.<br />
<br />
Religion became a tool for the weak to control the strong. <br />
With all these new morals and ethics, survival of the fittest was gone.<br />
No longer could the biggest man simply take what ever he needed,<br />
Because damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded.<br />
<br />
Some of the deeds committed in my name just make me wonder where I went wrong.<br />
Back at the start when I ÂcreatedÂ all of this, the foundations seemed so strong.<br />
See all the elements were already here, long before I began.<br />
I just kind of put them all together. I didnÂt really think out a long term plan.<br />
<br />
I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky, <br />
So you could navigate this globe or simply watch a sunrise.<br />
I covered the earth with plants and fruits, some for sustenance and some for beauty.<br />
And made the sun shine and clouds rain so their maintenance wasnÂt your duty.<br />
<br />
I tried to give each creature its own attributes, without making them enveloped.<br />
I gave you all space to grow and, in your own way, space to develop.<br />
I didnÂt know that such development would cause rifts and jealousy.<br />
Cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly.<br />
<br />
You see, I wasnÂt the creator, I was more the curator of nature<br />
And I want to set things straight with homosexuals right now: I donÂt hate ya.<br />
I was a simple being that happened to be the first to yield such powers.<br />
But I just laid the ground. It was you that built the towers.<br />
<br />
It was you that invented bombs and the fear that comes with them.<br />
And it was you that invented money, and corrupt economic systems.<br />
You invented terms like Âjust warsÂ and terms like Âfriendly fireÂ,<br />
It was you that didnÂt know when to stop digging deeper and when to stop building higher.<br />
<br />
It was you that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,<br />
And it was you that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth.<br />
It was you that used my teachings for your own personal gain<br />
And it was you that committed such tragedies, even if they were in my name.<br />
<br />
So I apologise for any mistakes I made and when my words were misconstrued,<br />
<i>But this apology is to Mother Nature, because I created you.</i><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Since my previous artist quit on me.. for various unknown reasons.. I'm looking to comission someone to do artwork for me, for my book. Character sketches, full color, etc. and so on.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in getting paid for some drawings... leave a message here, or contact me on AIM. If your style is what I'm looking for, we'll discuss how many pictures, what kind, the price.. things like that.<br />
<br />
I want a single artist that I can kinda work closely with.. which means I'll probably make you read the book to get a good idea of what you'll be drawing. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I know what youÂre doing, <br />
I see it all too clear <br />
I only taste the saline <br />
When I kiss away your tears <br />
You really had me going, <br />
Wishing on a star <br />
But the black holes that surround you<br />
You are heavier by far <br />
I believed in your confusion, <br />
You were so completely torn <br />
Well it must have been that yesterday <br />
Was the day that I was born <br />
ThereÂs not much to examine, thereÂs nothing left to hide <br />
You really canÂt be serious if you have to ask me why <br />
<br />
I say good-bye... <br />
<br />
ÂCause I am barely breathing <br />
And I canÂt find the air <br />
I donÂt know who IÂm kidding <br />
Imagining you care <br />
And I could stand here waiting <br />
A fool for another day <br />
But I donÂt suppose itÂs worth the price, worth the price <br />
The price that I would pay <br />
<br />
Everyone keeps asking, <br />
WhatÂs it all about? <br />
I used to be so certain <br />
Now I canÂt figure out <br />
What is this attraction? <br />
I only feel the pain <br />
ThereÂs nothing left to reason <br />
And only you to blame <br />
Will it ever change? <br />
<br />
ÂCause I am barely breathing <br />
And I canÂt find the air <br />
I donÂt know who IÂm kidding <br />
Imagining you care <br />
And I could stand here waiting <br />
A fool for another day <br />
But I donÂt suppose itÂs worth the price, worth the price <br />
The price that I would pay <br />
But IÂm thinking it over anyway... <br />
<br />
IÂve come to find <br />
I may never know <br />
Your changing mind <br />
Is it friend or foe? <br />
I rise above <br />
Or sink below <br />
With every time <br />
You come and go <br />
Please donÂt come and go <br />
<br />
ÂCause I am barely breathing <br />
And I canÂt find the air <br />
I donÂt know who IÂm kidding <br />
Imagining you care <br />
And I could stand here waiting <br />
A fool for another day <br />
But I donÂt suppose itÂs worth the price, worth the price <br />
The price that I would pay <br />
But IÂm thinking it over anyway<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Love is not the need for absolute freedom, its chains become our heart's armor and anchor.<br />
<br />
Love is not dependance or independance, it is the knowledge that your other is always there when you need them.<br />
<br />
Love does not depend completely on trust, but it is about not having to worry about trusting.<br />
<br />
Love is not earned, or given as a reward. It exists without rhyme or reason and cannot be called on command.<br />
<br />
Love is not fragile, though it can be easily forced into hiding.<br />
<br />
Love is not calculated by a measure of time passed, but still grows stronger with every day gone.<br />
<br />
Love is not fat free, but can be a good diet plan.<br />
<br />
Love is not easily forgotten, but sometimes easily overlooked.<br />
<br />
Love is not a good excuse to die, but rather enjoys being a reason to live.<br />
<br />
Love is not always about happiness, but rather your desire to see through the hardest times together.<br />
<br />
Love is not about having every single thing in common with your other, rather it is about loving them through your differences.<br />
<br />
Love is never normal, nor can it be measured by any such lable. It is quixotic, ornery and down right strange sometimes.<br />
<br />
Love is not a flame, rather a small spark that grows. Its light can lluminate darkness.<br />
<br />
Love is not on sale at Wal-Mart, though their valentines specials are pretty good.<br />
<br />
<br />
--<br />
I'm not ready for this<br />
Though I thought I would be.<br />
I can't see the future<br />
Though I thought I could see.<br />
<br />
I don't want to leave you<br />
Even though I have to.<br />
I don't want to love you.<br />
Oh, I still do.<br />
<br />
Need some time to find myself.<br />
I wanna live within.<br />
Can I go my own way?<br />
Can I pray my own way?<br />
<br />
I don't want to leave you.<br />
Oh, I need you.<br />
Am I ready for this?<br />
Did I think I would be?<br />
Can I see the future?<br />
No, I can't see.<br />
<br />
I don't want to leave you<br />
Even though I have to.<br />
I don't want to love you.<br />
Oh, I still do.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Everything,<br />
On our own.<br />
We don't need<br />
Anything,<br />
Or anyone.<br />
<br />
If I lay here,<br />
If I just lay here...<br />
Would you lie with me, and<br />
Just forget the world?<br />
<br />
Oh can't you see,<br />
You belong to me..<br />
How my poor heart aches, <br />
With every step you take<br />
<br />
If I lay here,<br />
If I just lay here...<br />
Would you lie with me, and<br />
Just forget the world?<br />
<br />
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace<br />
I dream at night I can only see your face<br />
I look around but it's you I can't replace<br />
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace.<br />
I keep cryin', baby.. baby.. please<br />
<br />
I don't quite know<br />
How to say<br />
How I feel<br />
Those three words<br />
Are said too much<br />
They're not enough.<br />
<br />
Oh can't you see<br />
You belong to me<br />
How my poor heart aches<br />
with every step you take<br />
<br />
If I lay here,<br />
If I just lay here..<br />
Would you lie with me, and.. <br />
Just forget the world?<br />
<small><br />
I'll be watching you..<br />
Every breath you take -- <i>Let's waste time</i><br />
Every move you make<br />
Every bond you break<br />
Every step you take<br />
<br />
Ill be watching you<br />
Every single day  -- <i>Chasing cars</i><br />
Every word you say<br />
Every game you play<br />
Every night you stay<br />
<br />
Ill be watching you<br />
Every move you make -- <i>I need your grace</i><br />
Every vow you break <br />
Every smile you fake<br />
Every claim you stake<br />
<br />
Ill be watching you<br />
Every single day -- <i>To remind me</i><br />
Every word you say <br />
Every game you play<br />
Every night you stay</small><br />
<br />
If I lay here..<br />
If I just lay here..<br />
Would you lie with me, and.. <br />
Just forget the world?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Autopilot Off<br /><br />Divine intervention<br />
So few and far between<br />
Like lightning when it touches to the ground<br />
Answer me the question<br />
I'm ready to believe<br />
I hold my breath before I let it out<br />
<br />
The face we show<br />
The one we hide<br />
The hands we hold and leave behind<br />
For all we lose<br />
And all we find<br />
Here while we live and while we die.<br />
<br />
The wait for redemption<br />
It gets heavy on the mind<br />
And I burn my eyes out staring at the sun<br />
At this intersection<br />
We are looking for the signs<br />
And up ahead these roads they bend to one<br />
<br />
The ties we bind<br />
The ones we break<br />
The solid ground beneath us shakes<br />
What it tears down and what it makes<br />
And what we give is all we'll take<br />
<br />
To ride along the horizon<br />
When these days are gone<br />
It's what we become<br />
As we ride along the horizon<br />
When theses days are gone<br />
It's what we become.<br />
<br />
The face we show<br />
The one we hide<br />
The hands we hold and leave behind<br />
For all we lose<br />
And all we find<br />
Here while we live and while we die.<br />
The ties we bind<br />
The ones we break<br />
The solid ground beneath us shakes<br />
What it tears down and what it makes<br />
And what we give is all we'll take.<br />
<br />
Divine intervention <br />
Hanging in the air we breathe<br />
And I'll fill my lungs with all that they can hold<br />
As for all the questions<br />
We've got everything we need<br />
To guide us now whichever way we go.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Asphyxiated<br />
I wanna break this spell<br />
That you've created<br />
You're something beautiful<br />
A contradiction<br />
I wanna play the game<br />
I want the friction<br />
<br />
You <br />
Will be <br />
The death <br />
Of me.<br />
Yeah, you<br />
Will be <br />
The death <br />
Of me<br />
<br />
Bury it,<br />
I won't let you bury it<br />
I won't let you smother it<br />
I won't let you murder it<br />
Our time is running out<br />
Our time is running out<br />
You can't push it underground<br />
You can't stop it screaming out<br />
<br />
I wanted freedom<br />
Bound and restricted<br />
I tried to give you up<br />
But I'm addicted<br />
Now that you know I'm trapped<br />
Sense of elation<br />
You'd never dream of<br />
Breaking this fixation<br />
<br />
You <br />
Will squeeze <br />
The life <br />
Out of me<br />
<br />
Bury it,<br />
I won't let you bury it<br />
I won't let you smother it<br />
I won't let you murder it<br />
Our time is running out<br />

You can't push it underground<br />
You can't stop it screaming out<br />
<br />
How did it come to this?<br />
<br />
Yeah, you <br />
Will suck <br />
The life <br />
Out of me<br />
<br />
Bury it,<br />
I won't let you bury it<br />
I won't let you smother it<br />
I won't let you murder it<br />
Our time is running out<br />

This ship is taking me far away<br />
Far away from the memories<br />
Of the people who care if I live or die <br />
<br />
Starlight<br />
I will be chasing a starlight<br />
Until the end of my life<br />
I dont know if its worth it anymore<br />
<br />
Hold you in my arms<br />
I just wanted to <br />
Hold you in my arms<br />
<br />
My life<br />
You electrify my life<br />
Let's conspire to ignite<br />
All the souls that would die just to feel alive<br />
<br />
Ill never let you go<br />
If you promise not to fade away<br />
Never fade away...<br />
<br />
Our hopes and expectations<br />
Black holes and revelations<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ This ruined puzzle is beige, with the pieces all face down<br />
So the placing goes slowly. <br />
The picture's of anything <br />
Other than it's meant to be<br />
But the hours they creep<br />
The patterns repeat<br />
Don't be concerned <br />
You know I'll be fine on my own<br />
I never said "Don't go."<br />
<small><i>Don't go...</i></small><br />
But I've hidden a note<br />
Its pressed between pages<br />
That you've marked to find your way back<br />
It says "Does he ever get the girl?"<br />
But what if the pages stay pressed<br />
The chapters unfinished<br />
The story's too dull to unfold<br />
<i>Does he ever get the girl?</i><br />
<br />
Well this basement's a coffin<br />
I'm buried alive<br />
I'll die in here just to be safe<br />
I'll die in here just to be safe<br />
'Cause you're gone<br />
I get nothing<br />
And you're off with barely a sigh<br />
I never said "Good-bye"<br />
<i><small>Goodbye...</small></i><br />
But Ive hidden a note<br />
Its pressed between pages<br />
That you've marked to find your way back<br />
It says "Does he ever get the girl?"<br />
But Ive hidden a note<br />
Its pressed between pages<br />
That youll read if you're so inclined<br />
<i>Does he ever get the girl?</i><br />
<br />
But the hours they creep<br />
The patterns repeat<br />
Dont be concerned, <br />
You know I'll be fine on my own.<br />
I never said "Don't go"<br />
<small><i>Don't go...</i></small><br />
<br />
<i>Does he ever get the girl?</i><br /><br />---<br />
Why yes, I am feeling somewhat emo today. ]]></description>

---<br /><br />So... <br />
<br />
I've recently purchased a new camera -- CANON EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT 350D -- and a few lenses to get me started. <br />
<br />
I kinda wanna get serious about my photography, so I've also subscribed to the print service, like I've wanted to do for so long now.<br />
<br />
I'm adding a few of my older photos to my prints, but I will certainly be updating with newer pictures.<br />
<br />
For those of you reading my story, though very few right now (I am really honored to the few readers I have), don't worry. I'm very dedicated to getting it finished, even if may never be great enough to be published or anything, I definately going to finish it.. and push very hard to find someone who will be willing to publish it.<br />
<br />
My skills as a writer may not be the best, but I love telling stories. To those of you who have watched and commented on my deviations through my struggles, hopefully I'll give you something worthwile in return.<br />
<br />
We'll see where it goes.<br /><br />---<br />
I'm waiting to panic. I'm thinking, Im thinking. I'm thinking, I'm thinking. My head's exploding like a mushroom cloud ]]></description>

I can see for miles<br />

And chaos in the aisles<br />

I'd rather be wrong.<br />
If this is sight, <br />
I'd rather be blind. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so..<br />
Today I watched 300.. and I honestly have to wonder; what is the big deal? There was absolutely no substance to this movie whatsoever. Sure if you like gore, but Dawn of the Dead did that better. The fight scenes were OK, but nothing to marvel at. I love fighting, and I love gore and drama and action. This movie tries to do too much, and falls short all at once in most places, then in other places it's way over done.<br />
<br />
What a load of crap.<br />
<br />
I don't get it. Even the ending was pretty lame. Why are people pissing their pants over this movie? It's dumb and pointless. I liked Gladiator much better, or The Patriot... Braveheart?<br />
<br />
I hate it when movies make me feel like I've wasted my time. The last one to do that was House of 1000 Corpses.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Thanks to everyone who made it possible.<br />
I really appreciate it.<br />
--<br />
The space<br />
Between who I am<br />
And who I am compelled to be<br />
Keeps filling up with sand<br />
And I<br />
Cross back and forth at night<br />
It doesn't mean a thing<br />
If I can't keep you in my sight.<br />
<br />
The space<br />
The hollow in my chest<br />
Fills up with kerosene and<br />
Empties in the dust<br />
And you<br />
You keep me burning up all things<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I gave you the world -- the world which was mine to give. My life, my hopes, my dreams, my love... Oh but of all the things I gave you, it is that one thing which I gave you the most of.<br />
<br />
In the end you must've wanted something that I couldn't give.<br />
But what was it? I gave you everything I could, and even things I thought I couldn't.<br />
<br />
I gave you my whole world, and you just walked away with it.<br />
<br />
And yet, I still stand.<br />
<br />
For you, I lived.<br />
For myself, I thrive.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So to the ironbound section of the Avenue L <br />
Where the desperate faces come to see what you sell <br />
Life divine, feelings once mine, <br />
Charcoal color of your soul <br />
<br />
If I carved your heart right onto my skin <br />
You were never in my thougts when I turned to sing <br />
Cut the wire, wait a pointless hour, <br />
Meaningless never should have been <br />
<br />
So the architect wants a prettier song?<br />
Like a dead end anthem for the kids gone wrong <br />
Immaculate dreams, chasing beautiful scenes, <br />
Designs for life <br />
<br />
Hey Mr. Nameless, do I seem a bit insensitive? <br />
I'm trying to forget what you are... <br />
Well I'm hoping you have seen us <br />
And it should not come between us <br />
So how could you let it go this far?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I really, REALLY like the new Naruto. I knew my faith in him wasn't misplaced. He's such a badass. Half as annoying and twice as smart. <3<br />
<br />
Oh, I suppose Gaara rocks too. He makes a good Kazekage. he looks a lot more innocent and calm than he used to. I like it.<br />
<br />
Sasuke, however... might as well put him in a dress. He's such an angsty little girl. His new clothes are ugly too. Poop. <br />
<br />
"I hate my brother, but I am gonna grow up to become just like him!" <br />

Always makes sense.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ There are things <br />
I have done. <br />
There's a place <br />
I have gone. <br />
There's a beast <br />
And I let it run <br />
Now it's running my way. <br />
<br />
There are things <br />
I regret <br />
That you can't forgive <br />
You can't forget. <br />
There's a gift <br />
That you sent <br />
You sent it my way<br />
 <br />
So take this night <br />
Wrap it around me like a sheet. <br />
I know I'm not forgiven <br />
But I <br />
Need a place to sleep. <br />
So take this night <br />
And lay me down on the street. <br />
I know I'm not forgiven <br />
But I <br />
Hope that Ill be given some peace. <br />
<br />
There's a game <br />
That I played.<br />
There are rules <br />
I had to break. <br />
There's mistakes <br />
That I made<br />
But I made them my way.<br />
<br />
So take this night <br />
Wrap it around me like a sheet. <br />
I know I'm not forgiven <br />
But I <br />
Need a place to sleep. <br />
So take this night <br />
And lay me down on the street. <br />
I know I'm not forgiven <br />
But I <br />
Hope that I'll be given some peace.<br />
<br />
Some peace... <br />
Some peace...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm looking at you through the glass<br />
Don't know how much time has passed<br />
Oh God it feels like forever<br />
No one ever tells you<br />
That forever feel like home<br />
Sitting all alone inside your head<br />
<br />
How do you feel?<br />
That is the question<br />
But I forget <br />
You don't expect an easy answer<br />
When something like a soul<br />
Becomes initialized and folded up<br />
Like paper dolls and little notes<br />
You can't expect a bit of hope<br />
So while you're outside looking in <br />
Describing what you see<br />
Remember what you're staring at is me<br />
<br />
Cause I'm looking at you through the glass<br />
Don't know how much time has passed<br />
All I know is that it feels like forever<br />
No one ever tells you<br />
That forever feel liks home<br />
Sitting all alone inside your head<br />
<br />
How much is real?<br />
So much to question...<br />
An epidemic of the mannequins<br />
Contaminating everything<br />
We thought came from the heart<br />
But never did right from the start<br />
Just listen to the noises<br />
Null and void, sad voices<br />
Before you tell yourself it's just a different scene<br />
Remember it's just different from what you've seen.<br />
<br />
I'm looking at you through the glass<br />
Don't know how much time has passed<br />
And all I know is that it feels like forever<br />
And no one ever tells you<br />
That forever feel liks home<br />
Sitting all alone inside your head<br />
<br />
Cause I'm looking at you through the glass<br />
Don't know how much time has passed<br />
And All I know is that it feels like forever<br />
But no one ever tells you<br />
That forever feel liks home<br />
Sitting all alone inside your head<br />
<br />
And it's the stars,<br />
The stars --<br />
That shine for you<br />
It's the stars,<br />
The stars --<br />
That lie to you<br />
<br />
I'm looking at you through the glass<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ In the sea.. It's so easy to lose yourself. It's so easy to fall under the waves and drown, or be eaten by sharks. And in the sea of people, those things are just as easy. You get lost in the crowd and then... The one person you want most to find.. the one person you want most to see you, probably never will.<br />
<br />
Do you sail alone? Would you sail alone? Would you aimlessly drift until your boat runs into another, and then would you pray to whatever god you had faith in that it was not an enemy you had just found.<br />
<br />
And if your boat sprung a leak with no one in sight, would you just drown, or would you try to swim to safety, only to find out you had been going in the wrong direction? What then, would you do? Do you take another's boat and cast them off?<br />
<br />
We come into this world cold and alone.... I hope I don't die that way. I don't wanna die alone.<br />
<br />
Where's this angel's savior now...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ We're now up here alone <br />
Terror on the intercom<br />
Can someone save us?<br />
Systems malfunction <br />
Blast it, this damn machine<br />
Over and out Captain <br />
Something lurks, creeps on the counter  top <br />
Somewhere behind you <br />
Parasitic cyst, I can't stand to watch <br />
It's coming up and out of your chest <br />
<br />
Remember when we were young... <br />
<br />
Sit up, right on the table <br />
A photograph of earth feeding me a way  back <br />
Frightened I tear alone <br />
Or maybe not the the only one there.<br />
Hello? Hello? When it rings will you  answer? <br />
There in the corner tall, short stance  - it's you <br />
Come on. Kill me. <br />
You made a good friend to me<br />
But while you were outnumbered and torn  <br />
They made us do good things... <br />
<br />
Oh dear god, I don't feel alive <br />
<br />
When you're cut short of misery <br />
Will you pray it be the end? <br />
Give a look surprise wide eyed to me <br />
Then you'll know just what I am<br />
The scar that triggers your fear <br />
Come know me in a different light now<br />
Come know me as God <br />
<br />
You've made a good friend to me<br />
But while you were outnumbered<br />
You made us do things to know...<br />
<br />
Run sand hourglass <br />
It's my time, will I be worth? <br />
Spin 'round carousel <br />
When your horse isn't screwed in <br />
<br />
Oh dear god, I don't feel alive<br />
When you're cut short of misery  <br />
Will you pray it be the end?<br />
Give a look surprise wide eyed to me  <br />
Then you'll know just what I am <br />
The scar that triggers your fear<br />
Come know me in a different light now<br />
Come know me as God ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Two people touching lips<br />
Hands on each other's hips<br />
Nothing else in the world but one  another<br />
<br />
The 42nd floor<br />
On a distant shore<br />
I wonder how we strayed so far from  this<br />
<br />
Remember when we were<br />
Just flesh and bone. You sir,<br />
May have forgotten how good your world  could be<br />
<br />
So, put down your hollow tips<br />
And kiss your lovers lips<br />
And know that fate is what you make of  it<br />
<br />
Please end this<br />
Please end this<br />
Before this ends us<br />
ends us, ends..<br />
<br />
I wanna stay inside<br />
I wanna stay inside for good<br />
I wanna stay inside<br />
For good<br />
<br />
I read the news today<br />
And everything they say<br />
Just makes me want to stay inside and  wait<br />
<br />
but the better part of me knows<br />
That waiting in the throes<br />
Is all on par with reading with my eyes  closed<br />
<br />
"What Can I do?", You say<br />
It's just another day<br />
In the life of Apes with ego trips<br />
<br />
Put down your hollow tips<br />
And kiss your lover's lips<br />
And know that fate is what we make of  it<br />
<br />
Please end this<br />
Before this ends us<br />
<br />
I wanna stay inside<br />
I wanna stay inside for good<br />
I wanna stay inside<br />
For good ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Keep the noise low, <br />
She doesn't want to blow it.<br />
Shaking head to toe while your left  hand does the 'show me around'.<br />
Quickens your heartbeat, <br />
It beats me straight into the ground<br />
You dont recover from a night like  this.<br />
A victim, still lying in bed -  completely motionless.<br />
A hand moves in the dark to a zipper.<br />
Hear a boy bracing tight against sheets  barely whisper,<br />
"This is so messed up."<br />
<br />
Upon arrival the guests had all stared.<br />
Dripping wet and clearly depressed, <br />
He'd headed straight for the stairs.<br />
No longer cool, but a boy in a stitch.<br />
Unprepared for a life full of lies and  failing relationships.<br />
He keeps his hands low,<br />
He doesn't wanna blow it.<br />
He's wet from head to toe, and his eyes  give her the up and the down.<br />
His stomach turns, and he thinks of  throwing up<br />
But the body on the bed beckons  forward,  and he starts growing up.<br />
<br />
The fever, the focus,<br />
The reasons that I had to believe you  weren't too hard to sell.<br />
<b>Die young and save yourself</b><br />
The tickle, the taste of...<br />
It used to be the reason I breathe, <br />
but now it's choking me up.<br />
<b>Die young and save yourself.</b><br />
<br />
She hits the lights,<br />
This doesn't seem quite fair.<br />
Despite everything he learned from his  friends, <br />
He doesn't feel so prepared.<br />
She's breathing quiet and smooth.<br />
He is gasping for air.<br />
"This is the first and last time", he  says.<br />
She fakes a smile, and presses her hips  into his.<br />
He keeps his hands pinned down at his  sides.<br />
He's holding back from telling her  exactly what it really feels like.<br />
<br />
He is the lamb, she is the slaughter.<br />
She's moving way too fast, and all he  wanted was to hold her.<br />
Nothing that he tells her is really  having an effect.<br />
He whispers that he loves her, <br />
but she's probably only looking for ...<br />
So much more than he could ever give,<br />
A life full of lies and meaningful  relationships.<br />
He keeps his hands pinned down at his  sides,<br />
He waits for it to end and for the  aching in his gut to subside.<br />
<br />
The fever, the focus,<br />
The reason that I had to believe you  weren't too hard to sell.<br />
<b>Die young and save yourself.</b><br />
The tickle, the taste of<br />
It used to be the reason that I  breathed, <br />
but now it's choking me up.<br />
<b>Die young and save yourself.</b><br />
<br />
Up the stairs, the station where... <br />
The act becomes the art of growing old.<br />
<br />
The fever, the focus,<br />
The reason that I had to believe you  weren't too hard to sell.<br />
<b>Die young and save yourself.</b><br />
The tickle, the taste of<br />
It used to be the reason that I  breathed, <br />
but now it's choking me up.<br />
<b>Die young and save yourself.</b> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm sorry<br />
I heard about the bad news today<br />
A crowd of people around you <br />
Telling you it's okay<br />
And everything happens for a reason<br />
<br />
When you lose a part of yourself<br />
To somebody you know<br />
It takes a lot to let go<br />
Every breath that you remember;<br />
Pictures fade away, but memory's  forever<br />
<br />
An empty chair at all the tables<br />
And I'll be seeing you when all my days  boil down <br />
But it's better where your going anyway<br />
<br />
I'm sorry <br />
I heard about the bad news today<br />
It's really hard to get through<br />
Tough times and long days <br />
But it really just depends on the  season<br />
<br />
When you lose a part of yourself<br />
To somebody you know<br />
It takes a lot to let go<br />
Every breathe that you remember<br />
The pictures fade away<br />
but memory's forever<br />
<br />
An empty chair at all the tables<br />
And I'll be seeing you when all my days  boil down<br />
For now well say goodbye<br />
We know its not the last time<br />
I've lost the best part of my day<br />
But its better where your going anyways<br />
<br />
An empty chair at all the tables<br />
And I'll be seeing you when all my days  boil down<br />
<br />
For now we'll say goodbye<br />
We know it's not the last time<br />
I've lost the best part of my day<br />
<br />
This is the last thing <br />
I will remember<br />
Its better where you're going anyway ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ little child, be not afraid<br />
though rain pounds harshly against the  glass<br />
like an unwanted stranger, there is no  danger<br />
I am here tonight<br />
<br />
little child, be not afraid<br />
though thunder explodes and lightning  flash<br />
illuminates your tear-stained face<br />
I am here tonight<br />
<br />
and someday you'll know<br />
that nature is so<br />
the same rain that draws you near me<br />
falls on rivers and land<br />
on forests and sand<br />
makes the beautiful world that you'll  see<br />
in the morning<br />
<br />
little child, be not afraid<br />
though storm clouds mask your beloved  moon<br />
and its candlelight beams, still keep  pleasant dreams<br />
I am here tonight<br />
<br />
little child, be not afraid<br />
though wind makes creatures of our  trees<br />
and their branches to hands, they're  not real, understand<br />
and I am here tonight<br />
<br />
and someday you'll know<br />
that nature is so<br />
the same rain that draws you near me<br />
falls on rivers and land<br />
on forests and sand<br />
makes the beautiful world that you'll  see<br />
in the morning<br />
<br />
for you know, once even I was a<br />
little child, and I was afraid<br />
but a gentle someone always came<br />
to dry all my tears, trade sweet sleep  for fears<br />
and to give a kiss goodnight<br />
<br />
well now I am grown<br />
and these years have shown<br />
that rain's a part of how life goes<br />
but it's dark and it's late<br />
so I'll hold you and wait<br />
'til your frightened eyes do close <br />
<br />
and I hope that you'll know...<br />
that nature is so<br />
the same rain that draws you near me<br />
falls on rivers and land<br />
on forests and sand<br />
makes the beautiful world that you'll  see<br />
in the morning<br />
<br />
everything's fine in the morning<br />
the rain'll be gone in the morning<br />
but I'll still be here in the morning ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I fed the clues of a lost day killed in  motion,<br />
But I thought of it so like there's no  other way it could've been done<br />
Will they size my fit for a puzzle I  wish not to play part in?<br />
A heart stained in hate, a feeling I  fear will play circles<br />
<br />
But you, <br />
You were my favorite<br />
<br />
I severed my ties to shroud this body  under the streets of this city,<br />
And wait for the day when I am summoned  to walk across the face.<br />
Well slowly but clearer now, in visions  that play and plague memories.<br />
I love them with all, as a son should  to mother and father.<br />
<br />
But you, <br />
You know you were my favorite<br />
<br />
Would I walk through the door,<br />
Shedding the light of all life?<br />
With the rise and reform,<br />
Would I come as before?<br />
<br />
Pray you're not the only one.<br />
<br />
If given mistakes would I take them  back?<br />
If erasing them could, if erasing them  would.<br />
But would they be, the words that I  would say?<br />
Your face and a door between.<br />
I've parted three ways for you, the  newo that I loved.<br />
<br />
Did you ever really know before my face  shamed to break?<br />
Did you ever really know before my mind  scared to think?<br />
Did you ever really know before my  name, sung to these?<br />
Did you come clean in the end from the  start?<br />
<br />
Dear Ambellina, the prize wishes you to  watch over me<br />
Dear Ambellina, the prize wishes all to  watch over me.<br />
<br />
I've fought the decisions that call and  lost my mark as the relevant piece in  this.<br />
I will come reformed.<br />
In short for the murders of those I  court, I bless the hour that holds your  fall.<br />
Sincerely, I will kill you all<br />
<br />
I will call you <br />
Out from shelter <br />
Burn your wings <br />
You'll know no better<br />
I will call you <br />
Out from shelter <br />
Burn your wings <br />
And learn their letters. ]]></description>
