I'm sick of this everyday life, today.

2009-09-16T20:19:00.000-07:00

twitch twitch.

2009-09-14T16:19:00.001-07:00

i could fall in love with anyone i meet.
i'm a little in love with everyone i know.

2009-08-25T16:48:00.001-07:00

i'm best at breaking up
at pulling out when the going gets tough
dodging blows and waving goodbye
because i'll save my own skin every time

I want someone who loves me when my hair is dirty
when my eyes won't stay open because I stayed up all night with you
who loves that I run on coffee and tunes
i want somebody who loves me like you do

2009-08-13T23:38:00.001-07:00

there's no way i can handle that.

2009-08-09T08:26:00.000-07:00

I want someone who loves me when my hair is dirty
when my eyes won't stay open because I stayed up with you
who loves that I run on coffee and tunes
and want to cover myself with words from shitty bands I love.

2009-08-01T10:07:00.001-07:00

careful, or it's turning on you.

2009-07-23T19:56:00.001-07:00

you're not as jack kerouac as you think you are.

2009-07-22T19:41:00.000-07:00

I will not take responsibility for decisions you make. enjoy your problems.

2009-07-16T05:16:00.000-07:00

that's not how I like my mornings to start.

keep it to yourself.

2009-06-16T19:14:00.000-07:00

idly annoyed.

2009-06-11T20:07:00.000-07:00

~~mine.~~

kind of wish you were.

2009-06-09T21:13:00.001-07:00

I'm the worst tease I know
drag you along
wanting me
but you can't but it's so much fucking fun
to tease us both into thinking we could be wrong.

2009-06-06T21:07:00.001-07:00

i'm the best at breaking up
at pulling out when the going gets rough
dodging blows and wave goodbye
keep my feet on the ground
and keep my own hands dry

-

loved you like a cliche
always there for a reason
it only makes sense we end with a song
when we started out a few missed notes
a minor chord and one deep breath

-

now my fingers are blue
though this started out golden
and you're learning too fast
that when it comes right down to it
it's my own skin i'll save every time.

2009-06-06T16:29:00.001-07:00

stop this.
get out of my head.

i miss you, i think.

2009-05-24T22:00:00.001-07:00

do you believe in god?

2009-05-20T17:00:00.000-07:00

it's like I'm fucking it up so I have a reason for why I feel like this.

2009-04-22T14:40:00.000-07:00

im fucking tired.

2009-04-19T12:01:00.000-07:00

sometimes things are wrong all around
even though you justify it once
it'll come back to tear your head off
some other way.

one liners.

2009-04-19T10:17:00.000-07:00

it's never hard to end it all, it's starting that's the bitch.

it's raining but pretty warm. it's a good night to be drunk and in love.

my skin misses your fingers

it's a bad day for dreams, youre the only one who's biting

i'd rather kill the cause, not the symptom

sometimes it's colder in the sunlight than it has been in the shade.

you're an everyday tragedy

it's a bad day for dreams, you're the only one who's biting.

2009-04-14T14:11:00.000-07:00

suicidal escape, for the young and hopeless.
older you get, you can't let go
a death wish is built on the ideal
that someone wants to see you live.

i trust you when you're not trying to help me kill myself
i trust you when you're not trying to help.

i'm not good, but i'm feeling higher
drunk in the dark it looks the same
so close your eyes and breathe a little faster
it's gonna get better before it gets worse.

mistakes can only teach you
if you don't like being wrong
take all my sorry's that i've said
shove them back into my mouth

i trust you when you're not trying to help me kill myself
i trust you when you're not trying to help.

i'm not good, but i'm feeling higher
drunk in the dark it looks the same
so close your eyes and breathe a little faster
it's gonna get better before it gets worse.

and i trust you
and i trust you when you're not trying to help me kill myself
i trust you when you're not trying to help.

2009-03-20T20:49:00.001-07:00

it's the wrongs that make the words come to life.

-

sometimes it's just hot that way.

see you in my head
watch you do what you've never.

2009-03-09T06:34:00.000-07:00

I've got limited time to care
too bad you were last in line.

2009-03-01T13:04:00.000-08:00

the scene of the crime
is where the end started
and where we broke

and now it's where
we close the book
on whatever we had

and it's harder than what
i've ever had to do
but i plan on coming
out the other side
of this trial by fire.

2009-02-11T07:50:00.000-08:00

there's nothing i can do to save you.

2009-02-06T09:00:00.000-08:00

torn between wanting you (say no)

2009-02-04T09:00:00.000-08:00

this is the biggest small town ever
can't decide if i'm in the mood to escape
or if i'm too scared to be a stranger to anyone but you.

2009-02-01T12:24:00.001-08:00

fuck you, stay away.

2009-02-01T11:48:00.001-08:00

you're wasting it.
we all are.

2009-01-30T10:25:00.000-08:00

i'm no good at failure
one too many times
dead end kid, dead man walking
saved me one last day

regrets are for the lost
bad memories for the wicked
misses and catastrophes
i live for what i've done

mistakes can only teach you
if you don't like being wrong
take all my sorry's that i've said
shove them back into my mouth

regrets are for the lost
bad memories for the wicked
misses and catastrophes
i live for what i've done

it's not that i mean
to fuck up all the time
but sometimes the world fucks up itself
and it comes around my fault

regrets are for the lost
bad memories for the wicked
misses and catastrophes
i live for what i love
i live for what i've done.

2009-01-17T17:51:00.001-08:00

that was my favourite part.

2009-01-17T14:09:00.000-08:00

2009-01-13T20:07:00.001-08:00

i'm starting off my morning by waking up in the afternoon
you can try to change me all you want
but i can promise you
i'll always come up a few cents short

you and me we're gonna be
you and me we're gonna be
you and me we're gonna be
heartbreakers

it'd take me twenty eight days
to walk to you from my old house
i'm guessing my sneakers are really lucky
because i don't miss anything that much

-

my inability to recall my past mistakes
is probably my major tragic flaw
i fall again, again, again, again
again, again repeat a hundred times.

2008-12-28T11:10:00.000-08:00

i'm starting off my morning by waking up in the afternoon.

you and me, we're gonna be heartbreakers.

2008-12-25T08:53:00.000-08:00

it's not that I mean to fuck up
but sometimes the world fucks up anyway
and it ends up being my fault.

second guesses' currency
doubts make the world go around
betrayal is what makes you feel alive.
can't get out of my head
because i'm out of my mind

and it's easy to believe
you're worthless when you're tired
but there's nothing nothing nothing nothing left but
press the pound key, if you love me.

you keep thinking i care
i do but it's never been about you
i wasn't expecting all these
near misses and almost catastrophes

and it's easy to believe
you're worthless when you're tired
but there's nothing nothing nothing nothing left but
press the pound key, if you love me.

just say the word i'll give you
back everything you need
and nothing you could ever want
i'd bet anything that's all you'd take.

and it's easy to believe
you're worthless when you're tired
but there's nothing nothing nothing nothing left but
press the pound key, if you love me.

2008-12-17T12:32:00.001-08:00

"what a match.

i'm half doomed and you're semi-sweet."

2008-12-16T20:59:00.001-08:00

i wasn't expecting all this.

2008-12-07T19:46:00.000-08:00

don't take your shit out on me

i can care about anything i want to, it's not up to you to decide what's important to me. if this is, it is.

it's not up to you to ignore my friendship and do that to me. that fucking hurts.

it's not up to you to call me on something that i'm not doing, to doubt me in what i'm doing, or to claim that's not what i'm doing.

that fucking hurts more, that you couldn't believe me when i asked you.

thanks.

2008-12-07T13:45:00.000-08:00

i don't have rhythm or rhyme but i tried
too many near misses and almost catastrophes
secrets this good aren't meant
for someone like me

it's easy to believe
you're worthless when you're tired
there's nothing left but
press the pound key if you love me.

take all my sorries and shove them back in my mouth
choke on them because i can't take anything back
regrets are for the lost,
bad memories for the wicked

it's easy to believe
you're worthless when you're tired
there's nothing left but
press the pound key if you love me.

so kiss this whole thing farewell and good bye
so kiss this whole thing farewell and good bye

it's easy to believe
you're worthless when you're tired
there's nothing left but
press the pound key if you love me.

2008-11-17T20:52:00.001-08:00

i don't have rhythm or rhyme but i tried.

2008-11-17T18:59:00.000-08:00

you keep telling yourself that.

2008-11-17T18:55:00.001-08:00

neon lights are heaven for the vampire set.

doesn't matter how high you are
you're always looking for the person
who's there to snap the cord.

2008-11-04T12:34:00.000-08:00

new song, trick.

lolarious version of me playing welcome to the black parade, badly.

cover of empires' hayley, for angie.

2008-11-02T21:17:00.001-08:00

she wears sneakers in the snow
and doesn't get why her feet get cold
she wears trucker caps and doesn't care
that that trend is so oooold.

And I can't help loving her
And I can't help loving her.

when she tells me stories
they always involve a giant squid
she always dreamt of moving
where the loch ness monster lives.

And I can't help loving her
And I can't help loving her.

And maybe someday my girl will see.
And then her and I can swim across the sea.
Because I can't help loving her.
Oh, I can't help loving her.
And I can't help loving her
And I can't help loving her.

2008-11-02T20:51:00.001-08:00

pasted on grin of trying
to keep my head above drowning
one foot in and one foot out the door
I'll listen but you'll keep talking.

2008-10-21T09:44:00.000-07:00

i know you're there.

enjoy yourself(ves).

2008-10-11T13:29:00.001-07:00

like a whole new world
i can't remember the last time i was this happy and not lying to myself.

2008-09-25T21:02:00.001-07:00

New (first?) song for the band. This is me playing it so they can write their parts.

This is how bands separated by 6000 miles do this, right?

Anyway, here we go.

2008-09-24T08:28:00.000-07:00

i want to, i will.

i'll get there.

2008-09-14T20:31:00.001-07:00

press the pound key if you love me

2008-09-12T17:12:00.000-07:00

coming into something
bigger than expected
funny how when you
mash a bunch of things together

sometimes it works.

2008-08-31T21:06:00.001-07:00

i feel like this isn't me.

it's hard to say,
like there's something
crawling around
something that's bigger.

it's fall
time to put on the mask
time to pretend i have some sort
of talent that if i had i wouldn't be here.

sometimes i'm weak.
sometimes i break.
sometimes i get sick of smiling.
sometimes
sometimes.

tell me when to stop. x3.

i did something that i am not ashamed of.
even though you'd like me to be.
but tonight isn't about that.

i'll emulate and imitate
and never originate.
and you can fuck off, because i'm happier that way.

these are never songs, just fragments of poetry
i apparently missed writing when i was fifteen.
like everyone else with the internet or a spiral notebook
i'm aware that i'm just another cliche (and no, i don't do it best.)

sometimes all it takes is one thing to make you smile.

at least i don't have that hair.

2008-08-31T21:00:00.001-07:00

it's easy to trick yourself into thinking you're worthless when you're tired.

2008-08-31T20:53:00.000-07:00

suddenly feel like nothing can go right
or write.

or anything.

what happens when you're on a dead set path to nothing
with no option b.

2008-08-27T12:12:00.001-07:00

wish I could take the puzzle pieces
pile themback intoplace
pick up each worried life
And make it a perfect picture
Snapped into spaces
Instead of broken into bits.

Friends close and far
Keep me going to the end
For you if your head is as mixed up
As mine gets sometimes (may contain nuts)
I love you, i'd do anything to make you Guys smile (I'd swim the ocean for you)
Say the word
And I'll give you back more than you need

Always different from the other side
Keep your hands on my body
Your skin on my mind.

I'm so bad at guitar.

because it's gonna get better before it gets worse.

2008-08-11T19:09:00.001-07:00

fall in love after i'm in love already
feel with all i've got
landing's never soft
brace myself for
recoil and retaliate

and i'll keep you close
even though somewhere
it's killing me to do it
because it'd hurt more
if you weren't here
and i'll tell you everything i know
but i'd never tell "you."

2008-08-11T19:08:00.002-07:00

take all my sorries and shove them back into my mouth
choke on them because i can't take anything back
i don't do mistakes in the past, only in the present tense
regrets are for the lost, bad memories for the wicked

2008-08-11T19:08:00.001-07:00

the first hit always comes free
i'm smiling hopeless still.

2008-08-11T19:07:00.003-07:00

i'm the best at breaking up
at pulling out when the going gets rough
dodging blows and wave goodbye
keep my feet on the ground
and keep my own hands dry

all i know is that my hands are shaking
because you let me know yours are too.

we sit and wait for news
while you sit on the edge of-

we wait for cell phone calls
and stilted laughter
of "i almost-"
but "not quite".
guess you got lucky, this time.
because,
"it's ok, i'm ok."

2008-08-11T19:05:00.005-07:00

two sides of the game
at once it's played
keep one your toes
if it falls
you're going down fast and hard

2008-08-11T19:05:00.003-07:00

miss something i can't even name
my heart breaks for something i'm not sure of
i feel like i'm not me
like my skin doesn't fit
like i'm half underwater
not bothering to try to breathe

2008-08-11T19:05:00.001-07:00

We got out clean
Nothing but a note
And a list of songs
To remind you that
We survived each other.
