what sarah said

and in an instance all is at peace
as the the thunder bellows in the distance,
i find myself overwhelmed with relief
how can it be that such a simple act,
unbeknown to the doer, erase layers
and layers of painstakingly thought out
rationalization?

this really should be in free verse
since i dare not say i approve of such postings
i allow them to exist for my personal reference
for in the future i will be able to reflect
and tell how worse i have become
why is it i cannot save myself
but a stranger
can


you may tire of me
as our december sun is setting
because i'm no longer the man i used to be



not really a stranger
just never one whom I thought would ever have the chance
not because they are lesser
more so because I refuse to allow anyone the chance


but even at our swiftest speed
we could not break the concret
in the city where we still reside



so maybe I will be able to post without the influence of death cab
one day

no one wants to stay
we got nothing to lose
and we'll take it to our graves

how do you like the view?
all the warning signs bearing down on you,

-well actually I don't quite care for it
not in the least bit

with such exuberance you relished in your joy,
declaring you were no longer used as a toy

-my excuse was that I was young and dumb,
doing what all I could to not feel numb

you have hardly been young and never once have you been dumb,
every action, calculated, cold and true,
doing all you can to prevent others from knowing you

-ignorance is bliss
so too is bliss happiness?

such elegant word play is only used to delay

-it was an old trick I learned from the best,
who ever wholly enjoys being forced to confess?

cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

oh the irony

people
and their actions
are predictable
yet,
never
unsatisfying

ok
so this song was on the new death cab album I download months before the release date,
a few of the tracks haven't been finalized
and one track in particular was labeled incorrectly
it was a nice surprise to discover this song

such an overcast day

so i'm pretty much a dick to any and everyone
no discrimination
just me
being an ass
and a douche
I only realize how much I hold back
by pounding drinks and then
listening to the words which come forth
from my mouth
the thing is
i know exactly what to say
to people
to cut them where it hurts the most
figuring people out becomes old
when I am right time after time
so what have i resorted to?
see the good in people
you think I would learn
but I just can't keep going on
like this, well, it's more that I don't want to
so i punch my own ticket
set sail on the seas
draw my own treasure map
and what takes place
me
being
me
aka a dick
and yes I know exactly why such actions occur
my habitual refusal to deal with
myself

what a tragic way
to see our final day

Lauren inquires as to whether I think it will make me happy,
my response
Lauren, when have I ever really been happy?
I don't want the look she gives me
her compassion is better spent towards
her patients at work
not my ass




We won't get far
Flying in circles inside a jar
Because the air we breathe
Is thinning with the words that we speak





i have become impatient
well, I have been impatient
for some time now
well
perhaps
immature is a more accurate descriptor
so now i embark
on a new endeavor
which is as ill-fated as those
coming before
but i mean
may be it'll kill a year
and summer will be back upon me
new degrees might be present
with her needing some time to fill
and i being oh too eager to oblige
events may fall into place
allowing the previous 4 years to be erased
and forgotten
all by
picking up
where we
left
off



i intentionally wrote it out
to be an illegible mess
and forget that we'd ever met
and what did or did not occur
sitting in the station it's all a blur

oh

our time has came and gone
once, twice, trice
one year short
of what could have been,
optimism at it's best,
over and over again

oh, yes?

very much do want.
tis bliss
:)

I may be considered a bad person
but I mean
I'm not

sleep

yeah, idk
just not feeling it
may be it's because I'm not a bad person
I'd rather see others bask in happiness before myself
or may be

I just
have no other choice
but to wait
because somewhere
deep within
I cannot shake
the simple thought
of you and i
running through life
together
hand
in
hand

birds de future

don't need that road to get back home,
but I take it anyways to help recall,
times from which are not far away....


oh futurebrids, how you move me

less than three

for great justice, such a great band live as well

dik is huge

so perhaps this random night
will end without disappoint
and one will become two
in such a game of hide and seek
which cupid himself
could not produce



yeah, screwdrivers and hypnotic
for the lulz
but when you party
in the jungle
you must be prepared
to burn that bitch
down
