im tired. yesterday was the first day of school. it was ok. nothing special. i would kill to have maybe an extra 2 weeks of summer. that would definitely be nice. i guess the only positive thing is that i did get my braces off last week. so that made me happy. besides that - nothing really special.


Life’s nothing more than a dead end

An endless circle of realizations and doubts

Here I’ll fly and you defend

As the glass is overturned and the secrets spill out

Backstabbing must not be an option

And now our guilt is our only legacy

 

Pre Chorus:

You never know what my blind eyes can see

Maturity isn’t all it’s turned out to be

 

Chorus:

So come on we’ll cross this bridge and burn it down

Tonight embers and ashes are my rainfall

And your brightest starts will shine looking down

The past was once present if you’ll recall

So our memories are no excuses

 

Sometimes a glance over the shoulder is my hardest line

Scary as it seems, your path only points forward

So I’ll read the underlined and then you sign

A contract to finalize all that we’re for

Traffic jams keep blocking fate

Of our underage society

 

Pre Chorus

Chorus

 

Those old clichés have lost their meaning

Whose gonna set the standards for today?

Whose gonna tell us what to say?

But what if things didn’t go their way?..

 

Pre Chorus

Chorus

 

Now you know what blind eyes can see

That maturity isn’t all it’s turned out to be

Tell me your story
From beginning to old
Before you fell through the cracks
And your dignity was sold
Ferment your troubles
And drink yourself to sleep
Do you really have to fill a mold
that everybody seeks
 
Pre:We all go through this life walking a one way street
      Now we watch as you march to someone else's beat
 
Chorus:So join that army
Write your letters to home
Though you think you don't miss us
You find yourself alone
In this army of lost boys and girls
Who want a place to belong in the world
We hope you forgive yourself before the war is over
Our favorite lonely soilder
 
Tell me your story
Sing me your song
Where the chords were thrown off key
And things went terribly wrong
We put a boquet
Right above your chest
Where we know a decent heart
Laid itself to rest
 
PreChorus
Chorus
 
Remember who you were before our lonely soilder

Currently Listening
The Everglow
By Mae

Fighting to keep this alive
Constantly fighting to keep myself going
Dear friend, I haven't the slightest desire
To help keep you going

Keep to myself all the time
(Kid it's better that way)
Try to avoid all the lines
(But I can't have you stay)
And the things that they say
Fighting to keep this alive
(Kid it's better that way)
Constantly fighting to keep myself going
(But I can't have you stay)

Please don't run from your problems
You can't keep running, there's no place to go

As you escape from your life
This house becomes hollow
And all we can do is just wait
Sit here and wait for this train to arrive
I've got my bags packed and I've said my goodbyes
Constantly giving into these moments
That just bring me down
Just bring me close enough to stay around, to stay around

Keeping to yourself is no way to live your life
You can't fight what's coming
And all that you can do is sit back and realize, we'll be there
Cause you keep waiting for someone to save you
Embrace you and take you away, far away
Take you so far from this place

Running away, so far away
Running away, so far away
I can't stay, I can't stay with you here
I can't stay, I can't stay with you here

As you escape from your life
This house becomes hollow
And all we can do is just wait
Sit here and wait for this train to arrive
I've got my bags packed and I've said my goodbyes
Constantly giving into these moments
That just bring me down
Just bring me close enough to stay around, to stay around

But I won't stay around

Hey hey look kid
You came around again
Didn't think we'd see you, with how things ended back then
Hey hey old friend
I think it's been too long
Grab the guitar, let's sit around, play our favorite song

Our bodies breathe of the city street lights
Lets set our watches, because tonight's the night
Everyone, get out your cameras
Tonight's a night to remember

My heart's in sync with, these constant memories
When I look back, I wish I had more of these
Neverland is just around the corner
I'm done with this getting old

Hey hey look kid
You came around again
Didn't think we'd see you, with how things ended back then
Hey hey old friend
I think it's been too long
Grab the guitar, let's sit around, and play our favorite song

Here we are, in my car, driving under the same lucky stars, that we wished on when we were kids
Let me hear you say
Hey kid I miss this
Hey kid I miss this
Cause I miss this

Hey hey look kid
You came around again
Didn't think we'd see you, with how things ended back then
Hey hey old friend
I think it's been too long
Grab the guitar, let's sit around, and play our favorite song (play our favorite song)

Hey hey look kid
You came around again
Didn't think we'd see you, with how things ended back then
Hey hey old friend
I think it's been too long
Grab the guitar, let's sit around, and play our favorite song (play our favorite song)

Hey hey look kid
Hey hey hey hey hey hey look kid
Hey hey hey hey

Hey Hey - October Fall

how long till you learn your lesson?

what will it take?

i thought that you had listened

as we lay awake

 

you can call me stupid

you cant say I don’t know what goes on

but all along I’ve been trying to get you, and

now ill say so long

so long

 

well the memories are far from silver screens

we’ll use to raise our families

 

 

(the last stanza written by jamie)
