I Want Something- Evan Greer
She's sittin in a bathroom stall with a marker in her hand, scribbling down the words to her favorite song by her favorite band. And she hopes someone will read them and maybe they'll understand how it feels. To care so much it hurts, to fight so hard you shake, to love so intensely that it scares you, to build so much that something breaks. She knows that she's not the only one, but sometimes it sure feels that way. In a little college town in Ohio. So there's a song that she sings everyday.
I want something that's better than this. And I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I think that we could build it. If we try together And if we all sing...
And 500 miles away, down I-70 there's a boy sitting in a room full of patches & PCP. And the kids all drink the same beer and they talk about anarchy and he wonders if he's the only one who remembers what that used to mean. And the punk-rock band plays on long into the night. These days the girls with the empty eyes hardly even put up a fight and he watches as his friends give up and slowly start to die, sticking needles in their arms because punk-rock boys never cry. And he sings:
I want something that's better than this. And I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I think that we could build it. If we try together And if we all sing...
And that very same night kids all across the earth felt lonely and confused, frightened and unsure. And we're trying to find one another through a system that keeps us apart to match the weapons that we hold in our fists with the passion that we carry in our hearts. And we know it's gonna take a long time and we know that we'l fuck up along the way, but I've got a feeling that we're winning as I hear more and more and more of us say:
I want something that's better than this. And I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I think that we could build it. If we try together And if we all sing... | | 5:33p |
Remembrance #9- Evan Greer
postcard schoolyard
nobody knows how hard it can be
i watch this boy sitting all alone
away from the boys who wish that they were men
how can he be
at once older and younger than them?
and the brown-eyed boy sits all alone
on his trampoline of promises
he touches no one and no one touches him
his ignorance is his only sin.
when your friends are plastic
quickly gone for
homework done, music listened, clothes worn.
if nobody knows you when you're down and out
then i've been down and out
since the day that i was born.
but that was so many years ago
surely all the tears are spent
i've been livin' in this dream world so long
got my lease on life and i forgot to pay the rent. | | 5:49p |
My Saving Grace- Armor for Sleep
Am I a toy to you?
With strings around my fingers,
for you to pull and watch as I collapsed when you want.
The coldest night to me, is a switch that you control.
Tip-toe around your words just to calm you down again.
There’s too many people that we both love
and too many secrets I don’t wanna know.
You’re still chasing him.
My saving grace is saving face.
Lost on the back burner.
Good for, good for you.
My saving grace is saving face.
I just sit and wait.
There’s always just enough of you to pull me back.
But I can see your eyes drifting past what you have.
I’m flagging down a ship when it’s on its way to sea.
The horn is blaring out, but I just don’t want to believe.
I never left you in a sandstorm.
I never left you for a second at all.
You’re still chasing him.
My saving grace is saving face.
Lost on the back burner.
Good for, good for you.
My saving grace is saving face.
I just sit and wait.
I thought you were an angel, I guess you were a vulture.
Either way, spread your wings and just fly away. [x2]
You’re still chasing him.
My saving grace is saving face.
Lost on the back burner.
Good for, good for you.
My saving grace is saving face.
I just sit and wait.
I just sit and wait. (Spread your wings and fly away) [x4] | | 6:16p |
The Happiest Place On Earth- Desaparecidos
I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live
I don't want to be ashamed to be American
But opportunity no, it don't exist
It's the opiate of the populace
We need some harder shit now
The truth is getting around
And each public school is a halfway house
Where the huddled masses sober up and up enough There's not enough to fatten the cows
And feed all of us
It's just a rationing of luck
What can't be bought gets raffled off
Oh God good God shed greed on thee
Your shining sea turned a dirty green
From the industry off the shores of New Jersey
I got a letter from the army
So I think that I'll enlist
I'm not brave or proud of nothing
I just want to kill something
Too bad that now-a-days you just point and click Swing low satellite
Hot white chariot
In the computer's blue glare
The bombs burst in the air
There was a city once now nothing is there
Our freedom comes at their expense
It makes sense, does it? Dollars and cents
They're stretching barbed wire across the picket fence
That is surrounding your housing development
Just in case you lack the confidence
Oh God my God give strength to thee
These amber waves purple majesty
Are nothing but backdrops for Disney
We'll look up close
It is superimposed on a blank blue screen
It is fantasy fucking magical
The dreams floats like a chemical
Through each snapped synapse our television past That is beautiful no more no more | | 9:41p |
Gone- Ben Folds
I thought I'd write, I thought I'd let you know
In the year since you've been gone I've finally let you go
And I hope you find some time to drop a note
But if you won't
Then you won't
And I will consider you gone
I know that you went straight to someone else
While I worked through all this shit here by myself
And I think that you should spend some time alone
But if you won't
Then you won't
And I will consider you gone
I wake up in the night
All alone and it's alright
The chemicals are wearing off
Since you've gone
The days go on, the lights go off and on
And nothing really matters when you're gone
If you think that you feel nothing at all
If you don't (If you don't)
Then you don't (No, you won't)
If you won't
Then you won't
And I will
Then I will
Yeah, and I will consider you gone | | 9:58p |
And how could I resist
when I think you're still in love?
How can I move on
when I wanna be in love with you? |
