Stay by Lillix
February 23, 2008
I’m unlisted, I’m resisiting, all the lies the minds are twisted
Can’t believe in honesty, please don’t turn your back on me
I am breaking, molding, making. All these thoughts are over taking.
Everything I want to see, hoping you will stay with me.
I… am weakening. I… am weakening. Stay.
Am I folding? No, I’m holding on to what the signs are showing
Everything that’s meant to be doesn’t come so easily.
I… am weakening. Yeah, I… am weakening
If I was gonna lose you, so what I’m gonna lose you
Either way, either way.
But my heart didn’t choose to, so what I’m gonna lose you, yeah.
Either way. Either way, stay.
You got it, you got it all…
And you got it, and you got it all…
Oh… why am I weakening?
If I was gonna lose you, so what I’m gonna lose you
Either way. Either way.
But my heart didn’t choose to, so what I’m gonna lose you
Either way. Either way, stay…
Oh… stay. Stay… Stay…
I know I’ve been posting lyrics a lot lately, but there’s nothing to talk about and I think a lot of these songs describe how I’m feeling. I’ll actually write a post tomorrow though.

Inda
February 19, 2008
I’m feeling better after listening to Ken Oak Band non-stop yesterday. The day didn’t start off so great, but it got better toward the end. I have a lot of mixed emotions right now, but in a good way. I don’t really think I can describe how I’m feeling at the moment.
Inda by Ken Oak Band
She’s come full circle
I’m here at square one
She can do what she wants
I’m trying to do what she’s done
So now it seems that I’m ready
For you, so have we begun?
The universe is full of
Reflections but you have eyes
That can see in another dimension
All the things that I’ve tried to hide
All my thoughts are just useful thinking
You found time to think of me
I guess it’s true what they say in this lifetime
You just might find the thing that you need
You say that we’re moving forward
Faster than we really know
Your laughter slowly takes over
Your confidence I’ll never know
The universe is full of
Reflections but you have eyes
That can see in another dimension
All the things that I’ve tried to hide
All my thoughts are just useful thinking
You found time to think of me
I guess it’s true what they say in this lifetime
You just might find the thing that you need
Songs can put your feelings into words.

Gravity
February 10, 2008
I finally got my voice back. I actually started talking yesterday, but it was still a little hoarse. I’m finally beginning to get my normal voice back today. I’m still coughing a lot though. I’ll keep taking my antibiotics and such. I should be able to go back to school on Tuesday. I’m a little drowsy from the medication so I may seem a little sleepy or tired when you read this.
I was really bored yesterday, especially in the morning so I decided to watch some TV. Well, there wasn’t really anything on so I just watched some music videos on VH1. They have like this music video countdown or something every Saturday and Sunday. I think they have it on the weekdays too. I think I used to watch them with my cousin during the summer a few years back. Good times. Anyways, I bumped into one particular artist named Sara Bareilles. I thought her song Love Song, was pretty catchy so I decided to download her album to check it out. It’s a really good album and I loved 95% of her tracks. I think my favorite song from that album is Gravity. It’s the last track and it’s a bit different from her other tracks on the CD. It’s more slow and ballad-like. I really love that song.
I highly recommend this album so you can check it out if you’re interested. Here’s the live version of Gravity.
Gravity by Sara Bareilles
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do I’ll still feel you here ’til the moment I’m gone
You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain
Set me free, leave me be. I don’t want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be
But you’re on to me and all over me
You loved me ’cause I’m fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you’re everything I think I need here on the ground
But you’re neither friend nor foe though I can’t seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know is that you’re keeping me down

Come Around Soon by Sara Bareilles
February 9, 2008
I could use another cigarette
But don’t worry daddy, I’m not addicted yet
One too many drinks tonight and I miss you
Like you were mine
All your stormy words have barely broken
And you sound like thunder though
You’ve barely spoken
Oh, it looks like rain tonight and thank God
‘Cause a clear sky just wouldn’t feel right.
He’s taken and leaving
But I keep believing
That he’s gonna come round soon
(He’ll come round soon I know)
You may be my final match
‘Cause I chase everything when you play
Throw and I play catch
It never took much to keep me satisfied
But all the bullshit you feed me you miss me
You need me
This hungry heart will not subside
He’s taken and leaving
But I keep believing
That he’s gonna come round soon
Until I see him again
I’m staying believing
That it won’t be deceiving
When he’s gonna come round
Well I may seem naive if I cry as you leave
Like I’m just one more tortured heart
These cracks that I show as I’m watching
You go aren’t tearing me apart
I may seem naive if I cry as you leave
Like I’m just one more tortured heart
These cracks that I show as I’m watching
You go aren’t tearing me apart
The angels said I’d smile today
Well who needs angels anyway?
Self-explanatory.

I Won’t Last A Day Without You by The Carpenters
February 5, 2008
Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don’t belong, I’m not that strong
It’s nice to know that there’s someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you’re always there
When there’s no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won’t come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won’t last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face
A lonely place
It’s nice to know that you’ll be there if I need you
And you’ll always smile, it’s all worthwhile
When there’s no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won’t come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won’t last a day without you
Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you’re bringing
I can’t really lose when you’re near
If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They’re not unkind, just hard to find
One look at you and I know that I could learn to live
Without the rest, I found the best
When there’s no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won’t come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won’t last a day without you
When there’s no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won’t come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won’t last a day without you
What can I say? I think the lyrics explain how I’m feeling at the moment.

Hit the Heartbrakes
November 26, 2007
Hit the Heartbrakes-Black Kids
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Call the ghost in your underwear.
Call the ghost in your underwear who?
Call the ghost in your underwear “boo”.
It’s fine, all right, you can stay the night,
but please be gone by next morning’s light.
Oh, please don’t pout.
Don’t cause a scene.
Oh, babygirl, don’t be mad at me.
Oh, boo, what can I do?
It’s not me, yeah, it’s you.
You’ve been hittin’ the heartbrakes hard.
It ain’t no use, cos we’re still gonna crash,
cos you’re still keeping after me.
It’s flattering, but really!
Abracadabra!
Every summer you disappear.
Cos it’s so sticky in the Dirty South.
It’s hot as balls.
Hey now, watch your mouth!
I must repeat: I think you’re sweet.
But ain’t no way that I’m gonna meet
your mother, your father,
your dog or your brother,
your nephew and niece, girl,
I just can’t be bothered.
Hit the heartbrakes.
Hit the heartbrakes.
Hit the heartbrakes.
Hit the heartbrakes, baby,
you’re driving crazy.
Miss Invisible

Miss Invisible by Marie Digby
There’s a girl
That sits under the bleachers
Just another day eating alone
And though she smiles there is something just hiding
And she cant find a way to relate
She just goes unnoticed
As the crowd passes by
And she’ll pretend to be busy, when inside she just wants to cry
She’ll say…
Take a little look at the life of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little closer, I really really want you to put yourself in her shoes
Take another look at the face of of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little harder and maybe then you will see why she waits for the day
When you’ll ask her her name
The begining, in the first weeks of class
She did everything to try and fit in
But the others they couldnt seem to get past all the things that mismatched on the surface
And she would close her eyes and left and she fell down the stairs
And the more that they joked
And the more that they screamed
She retreated to what she is now
And she’ll sing…
Take a little look at the life of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little harder I really really want you to put yourself in her shoes
Take a little look at the face of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little closer and maybe then you will see why she waits for the day that you will ask her…her name
And one day just the same as the last
Just the days been in counting the time
Came a boy that sat under the bleachers just a little bit further behind…
