| I'm so sorry about the lack of updates! Things have been rough at home, and outside of it, and I haven't had the time or mind to come on here at all. Thanks to everyone who commented, here's an update : ).
Also, I'm wondering why my text turns out as links? V Down there is an example. I've clicked "Remove Link", but the nasty thing won't seem to go away! ..Help?
you dont always have to hold your head higher than your heart.
lady knight, i will always pick you dandelions;
i'll remember you as the spots in my eyes when i look up at the light
"People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone."
"Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future."
"I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it."
The angst in his eyes tonight has nothing to do with fear
tonight what he's gonna try, he knows will leave her in tears
the questions he would ask, the answer she would give
the relief that yes could bring oh now he suffering
you will wear your whitest dress, I will wear my finest shirt
you will have the brightest smile and I'll give you the world
"As Long as I Live" - Andrew Landon
and all the unconscious unfolded unspoken - remember - there's
something to be said for the ones you think of last when there's
nothing left to salvage from your past. i've stopped drawing
that scene and started speaking in tongues. a new state of mind is long
overdue, it's time i inhaled with a new set of lungs.
dear polly garcia, dear the love of my life, dear my princess
this distance isnt anything compared to how much i love you.
these miles are only in our head, 3,000 is just a number.
ill be there soon, you are my home now.
"Dear Polly Garcia" - Andrew Landon
Raindrops will take these dreams out of my head,
of two faces better left unsaid, and miles away
when we're together we'll see, what is this you and me
oh, I could hold you in my arms this night away
Would you fall in love with me?
"I Loved You" - Andrew Landon
Trouble travels fast
When you’re specially designed for crash testing
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon
Come on and tell us what you’re trying to prove
Because it’s a battle when you dabble in war
You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together
Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it
And send it to somebody who’s pretending to care
"Sleep through the Static" - Jack Johnson
Who needs sleep when we’ve got love?
Who needs keys when we’ve got clubs?
Who needs please when we’ve got guns?
Who needs peace when we’ve gone above
But beyond where we should have gone?
We went beyond where we should have gone
"Sleep through the Static" - Jack Johnson
Your reflection is a blur, out of focus.
But in confusion the frames are suddenly burnt,
and in the end of a roll of illusion a ghost waiting it's turn.
Now I can see right through, it's a warning that nobody heard
It will teach you to love what you're afraid of
After it takes away all that you learn to love,
but you dont always have to hold your head higher than your heart.
Well I cant give you everything you want
But I could give you what you thought you need
A map to keep beneath your seat
You’ll read to me in time I’ll get you there
But fold it up so we don’t find our way back soon
Nobody knows we’re here
We could park the van and walk to town
Find the cheapest bottle of wine that we could find
And talk about the road behind
How getting lost is not a waste of time
The water mole will take us home
And in a moment we will sing as the forest sleeps
It’s all for the sake of arriving with you
Well its all for the sake of arriving with you
"What you Thought you Needed" - Jack Johnson
Well I will make the table into a bed
The candle is burning down its time to rest
Can’t take back things already gone
I could give you promises for keeps
And I would only take them back
If they become your own and you give them to me
"What you Thought you Needed" - Jack Johnson
Do you hear me? I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
"Lucky" - Jason Mraz
I try to picture a girl
Through a looking glass
See her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl, As her own new world
Though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe
"Live High" - Jason Mraz
You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man, And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy, Humble but you're greedy
Based on your body language, your shouted cursive I've been reading
You're style is quite selective, though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is.
"A Beautiful Mess" - Jason Mraz
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
'Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are
"A Beautiful Mess" - Jason Mraz
"I never thought I'd take that jump. A nervous laugh around someone, I'm sleeping in the palm of your hand. The way you whisper on the phone, I hear your voice when I'm alone. Cause you always understand just who I am. The best things are unexpected just like this, like a billboard in the sky you just can't miss. And I'm never letting this love go."
You're the girl in the back of the room
My wallflower that's in bloom
You're so oblivious to this
I could fall into those eyes
Pretty circles that I try to escape into, yeah
Well hallelujah when you look at me
And hallelujah you're the halo over me
And you're all that I need
"Hallelujah" - Teddy Geiger
so feel the air, feel the air, take th e map and point to anywhere
i don't care. fingers through your hair, the sky i've seen is blue and
green. oh, the summertime.
Sometimes I think I pass you walking on the street and i believe it
Sometimes I think I see you looking back at me.. now i see it
everything you feel
saying what is real
Don't go away
say you'll stay until the morning light
Don't fade away into gray
"Light" - Graham Colton
I'm writing you for the hundredth time, 'cause ninety nine I threw away
And in my mind a thousand times I've said everything I want to say
I've said everything I want to say.
"You Find a Way" - Graham Colton
I'm not asking for forever and I don't need much of your time
I know we can't be together but you should know I'm on your side
It's where I'll always be
"On your Side" - Graham Colton
coming down off a hangover sunset
you're fragile, honest, invisible at best
i'm listening if you want me to
standing with my arms stretched open
you're whispering a secret with
like your mad love first kiss
"Laughing on the worst day of our lives" - Blue Sanders
Girl, you were looking at him a little too long for me to be your friend,
And boy, you were looking at her a little too short for me to be yours.
And I've been really too nice, I know
You probably thought that we were just a show
But you better listen up, you better listen close,
I don't think so.
"I Don't Think So" Priscilla Ahn
Come on, the day is ending.
And we are tired from walking over and under this town.
Look here, the fight is starting. As we near the people are parting.
Oh my, my tired soul
Are we shy?, are we setting new ground?
Are we high when we're watching downtown?
Are we different?
Look close, your face is changing.
Like most its only aging from all these tired tears.
Come on, its getting better. Looks like we're in for warm weather
for the next three billion years.
"Are We Different?" Priscilla Ahn
baby, these are all the things i know are true; your heart, your skin, your breath- all the things inside of you. your freckled chest, my wishing stars. venus right behind your shoulder. your rocket hair, my milky way, star lovers til we fade away.
Take me away to january. i'm done with this year, i'm tired of everyone here. i just need some time alone before i'm ready to come back home. there's gotta be something else out there for me. i could feel it in my heart the day i started to dream. there's more than this midwestern town. i can't let this place keep me down. so i tell myself: "there's a girl out on the coast of california. there's a world out there and it's waiting for you." and i can hear it calling my name tonight. take me away. i need the sand and the waves, the sunset, and let's not forget those warm autumn days. i just need to get out of here and visit the coast just to see her. there's gotta be something else out there for me. i could feel it in my heart the day i started to dream. there's more than this midwestern town.

I've been waiting, pacing along the halls ever since you left here
I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear
I can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
Swallowing glass just to stay pure.
"Cold December" - Matt Costa
Just so lost, within your thoughts, within your mind.
In between the world and you, I stand behind and wait for you.
Nothing could change, nothing could hold me back from this love.
"Down to You" - John Nathaniel
I'd travel the world just to touch you.
While finding my way, I'd make no mistakes.
I'd travel through time just to feel you,
Cause you make me believe I can do anything.
And through all these storms I will find you
I'll find my way back, isn't it what you'd do?
If i have to walk on broken glass, If i have to fall on solid ground-
I just realized, if I can't feel you,
then I can't feel me anymore.
"Ever" - John Nathaniel
There are weaks and those who try.
Is there any truth between the lines?
Or tell me am I out of line?
'Cause there's only you that makes me shine
Now this is who I am, Is there anything I could have said?
This is who I want to be,
We could take this moment and we could drift away.
"Everything I Am" - John Nathaniel
As we taste the shadows of our lies and our sweet mistakes,
We lose control, will we ever get it back?
As we try to make things better, we seem to make them worse.
If it was up to me.. If i could change the world
Is it worth fighting for?
"No Ones Breathing" - John Nathaniel
When we break the trust we've earned, we could lose it all
When we make mistakes, do we get what we deserve?
It's underneath the lies, it's what we creat.
We're scared to know how the truth slipped away.
"No Ones Breathing" - John Nathaniel
The choices that we make, make us who we are.
The ignorance we share, takes the pain away.
But it takes your breath away, when will we find our way?
"No Ones Breathing" - John Nathaniel
The lust inside her eyes I see as the fire seems to rise,
The mutual need we seem to share is the only thing we've got.
Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head
Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid
So please forgive the words I use, my mind it tends to run
Away with the small ideas, I know I'm not the only one.
"Oh Dear" - Matt Costa
So you told me what it's like to be far away,
And you've shown me what it's like to see the way
Only you, can stop the clock, can break the lock.
for good and then you see right through me.
Through everything,
and then i'll feel.
"Down to You" - John Nathaniel
Sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours
Sometimes I'm not that sure
But anytime you look at me
Your thoughts I cant ignore
The second hand would pass us by
Should one of us had blinked
But in a minute realize that true love always waits.
"Oh Dear" - Matt Costa
I cant fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me.
"Cold December" - Lyrics
Sunshine, I'd really like to tell you
Oh my sunshine, Even though your skies are blue
You're drying up my bed, How can I get any rest now?
Sha la la la la la la la
Someday, You will get the best of me
Oh someday, Probably when I'm old and grey
I'm lying in my bed, And I will soon be put to rest now
Sha la la la la la la la.
"Sunshine" - Matt Costa
But bright lights have blinded your sights
They cant adjust when day turns to night
And so you watched me wash away
But maybe well catch up someday
"Wash Away" - Matt Costa
The castles we built were so tall
They only left us further to fall
And still I see them far away
But maybe we'll come back someday
Maybe we'll come back someday.
"Wash Away" - Matt Costa
And when twilight turned darkness
I was unsure of where to go
The salt burns my skin
And your eyes were cold as the ocean
This is our day today
Can you find the way back to these arms
This is our day today
Won't you find the way back to these arms.
"These Arms" - Matt Costa
You gave me your word, then you took your word back
Where once I had faith now all I see is black
Black seeing black
I gave you up rather than giving in
Where once there was virtue, it's fallen to sin
Black seeing black.
"Ballad of Miss Kate" - Matt Costa
When you're so lonely lying in bed
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Sing this lullaby to yourself.
Sing this lullaby to yourself
And if you are waiting, waiting for me
Know I'll be home soon darling I guarantee
I'll be home Sunday just in one week
Dry up your tears if you start to weep
And sing this lullaby to yourself
Cause when I arrive dear it won't be that long
No it won't seem like anytime that I've been gone
It ain't the first time it won't be the last
Won't you remember these words to help the time pass?
So when you're so lonely lying in bed
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Sing this lullaby to yourself.
"Lullaby" - Matt Costa
So come on wheels take me far away
Where I don't have debts to pay
I can't count on yesterday to find the way home.
"Never Looking Back" - Matt Costa
If I wait long enough someone might come out
If I tried I could be somebody else.
"Downfall" - Matt Costa
So I follow false prophets walking down my street
To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep
But it's all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall
"Downfall" - Matt Costa
I'm trying to lose, lose my mind
When it's gone I'll tell you where it went
About the extent of it's stay
Strum a few chords and use my voice
And make this song with the hopes that you'd play along, along.
"Trying To Lose My Mind" - Matt Costa
Well I met a girl,
She didnt like my song
She told me that old songs are better
She played me her favorite records
This is how I repayed her
I said it's okay to some but I hope that you can sing alone.
"Trying To Lose My Mind" - Matt Costa

the picture is far too big to look at kid. your eyes won't open wide enough and you're constantly surrounded by that swirling stream of what is and what was. well, we've all made our predictions but the truth still isn't out. but if you wanna see the future, go stare into a cloud. and keep trying to find your way out of that maze of memories. it all sort of looks familiar, until you get up close and it's different. clearly. but each time you turn a corner, you're right back where you were and your only hope is that forgetting might make a door appear.
somewhere weakness is our strength and i'll die searching for it. i can't let myself regret such selfishness. my pain and all the trouble caused, no matter how long i believe that there's hope buried beneath it all and hiding beneath it all, and growing beneath it all.
Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.
There are some people who live in a dream world and there are some who face reality and then there are those who turn one into the other.
The setting suns adorn the fields, the canals, the whole city with hyacinth and gold. The world falls asleep in a warm glow of light. There all is order and beauty, luxury, peace, and pleasure.
you are afraid to get what you truly want
because what if it is not enough after all?
what if you get it and you still feel alone and apart?
is it so much better to wrap yourself up in the longing?
"i trace the hills with my eyes and wish for a moment that a pen could draw a single line to poignant. i wonder, are we the only creatures here who wish for more? do eagles sometimes cast a jealous gaze on their brothers, hoping they will one day soar as high? are we alone here, digging our heels into the ground, trying like hell to push our inadequacies out of the way so we can be stronger and more beautiful? no idea. but the line is still there against the sky. perfectly defined. i have that."-Brendan Ekstrom
i'm thinking of the words to say, i'd like to think that this was fate. reference to a song you love, spell confusion with a "k" like a star without it's strings, i'm hanging here on these two wings. for that smile and those eyes i'm falling. if time could stop, how could i make this more poetic? when there's nothing more pathetic to be said.
empty fields move me so much more than rooms filled up with friends. the way the trees look dead reminds me that there's more to life than living. and maybe giving up's not bad but part of letting go of you.
it's times like these where silence means everything. and no one is to know about this. it's a campaign of distraction and revisionist history.
at this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. some are running scared. some are coming home. some tell lies to make it through the day. others are just not facing the truth. some are evil men, at war with good. and some are good, struggling with evil. six billion people in the world, six billion souls. and sometimes...
all you need is one.
And all this like a message comes to shift my point of view. And watching through my own light as it tints the shade of you.
Do you wake up on your own and wonder where you are and live with all your faults?
I wanna wake up where you are.
I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days, governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.
"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.”

Let's run away to a place where the air
tastes like rain and the sun shines like
Sunday morning. You bring your laugh
and i'll bring my sense of humor,
and we can waste the days, one week after another.
If tomorrow never comes
i would want just one thing
i would tell it to the stars and the sun
i would write it for the world to see
and it's you
the light changes when you're in the room
oh it's you.
"Up there, the sky, looks down at me and all i can do
is stare back and ponder the meaning of life and creation."
The stairs in the sky illuminate below,
The light is the sign that love will guide you home.
The stars in the sky illuminate below,
If the world were to die, the light would guide you.
"True Love" - Angels and Airwaves
morning rolled around and it became past 6 o'clock.
'it's okay. you're tired. go back to bed. im sure he's
just sleeping in' so gently, the eyes shut, and the hopes
danced around in forms of dreams. it makes getting
up harder to do. then the phone rang. and your
voice sang. and i got out of bed with a smile
on my face. and a little bit of euphoria, only a trace.
For the first time in a long time, my life is real.
It doesn't matter who ends up with who,
because in some unearthly way,
it's always going to be you and me.
you were just a boy on a bed in a room,
like a kaleidoscope is a tube full of bits of
broken glass. but the way i saw you was pieces
refracting the light, pictures no one else knew.
Love comes when manipulation stops.
When you think more about the
other person than about his or her reactions to you.
When you dare to
reveal yourself fully.
When you dare to be vulnerable.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities
or pride; so I love you because I knew no other
way than this, where 'I' does not exist, nor 'you'.
So close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so
close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
I love you not only for what you are, but for
what I am when I am with you. I love you not
only for what you have made of yourself, but for
what you are making of me. I love you for the part
of me that you bring out.
Oh how I love the memories I have of you. I shouldn't, but I do. I indulge in them sometimes.. remembering. I try to reminisce with each one, retrieving every detail possible. It becomes increasinly harder to be as accurate, and to keep the memory alive.. but I still try. Its comforting. It makes me smile, it makes me cry.
But it was real and it was nice.. and as long as I remember that,
you my love, will always breathe.
And baby, maybe you've been saved and you just don't know it
And maybe, maybe you've been hurt and you're scared to show it
But sometimes does your pain become too much for you to bear?
And sometimes, do you run away?
And I said maybe, maybe you won't stay and it doesn't matter
Cause lately, lately I have changed and I feel much better
-"I'm Not (Happy For You)" by One Less Reason
And if a shade falls one, I need you to know that I won't scream
And if everything you need happened to leave you, I won't leave
Don't tell me that it's over now
If I said the right thing, if I said the wrong
Would it matter if I might die if you'd kiss me goodbye?
I'm sorry, but you're all that I know
-"All that I Know" by One Less Reason
Not a lot of good can come from this, and there's not much that you've shown
While you were adding me up, I never amounted much
I'm just the person that needed you more
Did you fall, did you break, did you make a mistake?
Did you lose how it felt to win? Don't tell me that it's over now
If I said the right thing, if I said the wrong
No matter how far I go, you will always be home
I'm sorry, but you're all that I know
I know that you don't compromise the place you wanted to be
When you were down on your luck, when you were killing us
Did you ever stop to think of me?
-"All that I Know" by One Less Reason
You are calm and reposed, let your beauty unfold
Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones
Spring keeps you ever close, you are second hand smoke
You are so fragile and thin, standing trial for your sins
Hold onto yourself the best you can
You are the smell before the rain, you are the blood in my veins.
-"The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot" by Brand New
Yellow faces in the distance scream
"The beauty is in what isn't said"
I'm rising to my feet, because tonight the world turned in me
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe
Oh, I know it's alive and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me
-"Chase This Light" by Jimmy Eat World
If you were calling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match
Cause I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am
If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching, I'll make it better
Cause I love the way you call me baby
And you take me the way I am
-"The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson (such a cute song)
I close my eyes, thought I was lost but I was stranded
I go outside, to my surprise the sky had landed
I thought it made more sense if I could only keep you guessing
I was a fool to think that I should stop you from undressing
Now I'm believing all the words you say that I can't say to back to you
-"Fall" by Something Corporate
So I've stayed up for the past few nights And over time I have realized
That after all of the time that I gave and I gave, It never kept you awake
But it pushed me to stay right here, And wait around for you
Just wait right here, I'll be back for you
And I have lost my chance, To give this my best.
You're not mine and I know it, But that night I couldn't hold it in
Because I feel just right, When you're standing next to me
I've got these perfect pictures in my head of possibility
It was the words you whispered then, They led me to believe
You led me to believe.
jLust nod your head if your mind's been changed
shake it, love, if some hope remains
just say the word and of course I'll stay, roll your eyes and I'll go away
just please don't leave me guessing
just please don't keep me waiting...
The Beauty of Originality lies within the Originality of Beauty.

| Sorry for the lack of updates, orchestras been every day and almost every hour of my life has been occupied the last two weeks. I'll update as often as possible. (:
she's got this journal filled with all her black ink guilt,
and love is the only thing keeping her alive.
she's got her mind made up that all she needs is love,
her heart is the only thing helping her decide
to breathe again, to breathe again.
"Breathe Again" - Jimmy Robbins
I'll be there to split your lips like when the ice berg hits,
and the ship has to break apart, show its teeth and smile.
"Breathe Again" - Jimmy Robbins
I did a lot, I know you say- I've got to get away.
"The world is not yours for the taking"
Is all you ever say.
I know I'm not the best for you, But promise that you'll stay.
'Cause if I watch you go,
You'll see me wasting, you'll see me wasting away.
"Like a Knife" - Secondhand Serenade
But what do I know, if you're leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding.
But these scars will stay forever, These scars will stay forever
And these words have no meaning If we cannot find the feeling,
That we held on to together, Try your hardest to remember.
But hold your breathe Because tonight will be the night,
That I will fall for you, Over again.
Don't make me change my mind Or I won't live to see another day,
I swear it's true Because a girl like you is impossible to find,
You're impossible to find.
"Fall for You" - Secondhand Serenade
There goes my ring, it might as well have been shattered.
And I'm here to sing, about the things that mattered.
About the things that made us feel alive for oh so long.
About the things that kept you on my side when I was wrong.
Waiting for your call,
I'm sickcall, I'm angry, call, I'm desperate for your voice.
I'm listening to the song we used to sing in the car.
Do you remember, butterfly, early summer?
It's playing on repeat... Just like when we would meet.
'Cause I was born to tell you I love you,
and I am torn to do what I have to,
to make you mine. Stay with me tonight.
"Your Call" - Secondhand Serenade
And that's why I'm wondering why
You had to tell me, What's going on in your head
What's wrong, Come around to another time
when you don't have to run.
"Secrets" - Howie Day
Leave it here,
I know that you've been running, dear,
I've been thinking, we'd stay here,
Don't you worry about a thing,
'Cause I'll be here, yeah, I'll be here,
And I'll be waiting for you.
So sorry about all of the times,
I had to, needed to,
Believe in it, see it through my eyes,
But don't you worry about it,
'Cause I am here for you,
As long as you need me to.
"Dont Be that Note I Cant Hold" - The Scene Aesthetic
Come on, take a step towards me,
So you can figure me out,
I've been hoping,and praying for a single way,
To show you what I'm all about,
And I know, and I know this is the only way of pleasing the crowd,
But when this is over and done with and we walk away,
There should be no doubts.
"Beauty In the Breakdown" - The Scene Aesthetic
You say, you say that we're all tied up,
And wrapped around in useless, states of mind,
But at the same time we're still young,
We have the time to realize that we were wrong .
"Beauty In the Breakdown" - The Scene Aesthetic
Come on love, run with me, Get the hell out of this town,
So we can get a better feel for each other,
I'll take you, back to, when you, Remembered how you used to
Just live your life a little for me, Take the time to let it go,
Step away and watch me grow.
"Beauty In the Breakdown" - The Scene Aesthetic
