what's been said and this guilt I can't shed.
It still rings in my ears - Oh, get out
the butcher's knife.
I've been screaming for years
but it gets me nowhere
just get out the butcher's knife.

That organ's playing my song,
but this song's gone on too long.
What a day to sever such ugly extremities.
"What a lovely day", says the butcher
as he raises his arm.

my little i am poem. [Sunday

[ mood | destroyed. ]

I am all the wrong in the right.
I wonder what it would be like.
I hear the words of inspiration so close, but so out of my hands.
I see what i need.
I want it within reach.
I am all the wrong in the right.

I pretend i dont know whats going on.
I feel so many wrong emotions for all the wrong reasons.
I touch the arm of the one i love.
I worry that someone can see through me.
I cry a thousand times a day.
I am all the wrong in the right.

I understand why there is pain.
I say "you have to work at being happy, and that is why it is so easy to be miserable"
I dream.. only he knows my dream.
I try to ignore it.
I hope i can get over it.
I am all the wrong in the right.

He swam steadily for most of the day.
Suddenly he found himself approaching an enormous floating cavern.
Could it be an island?
Pinocchio looked closer and he saw two huge rows of sharp,
yellow teeth and he realized his mistake.

So he would sulk and drink and mope
and cross his arms and hope to die.
And then a fairy came one night
to bring this sorry boy to life.
She pulled some strings
and spun him about.
That boy sprang up
and began to shout,
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my face they're alive!"
And she would cry, "Liar, liar!
What have I done?
You're no lover, and I'm no fighter."

(The story goes on)

So he would buy her things and kiss her hair
to show he was for real.
And she would take those gifts and kisses
though just stringing him along.
She knew about those wooden boys-
it's an empty love to fill the void.
"Pinocchio! Oh boy, how your nose has grown!"
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!
I'll prove it to you!"
But then it grew
He had grown tired of her
So it was true
He left her apartment
And he walked all night long
'til he was stopped by the shore of the ocean.
But still he walked on, amongst the whales
and the waves, and screamed
"Liar, liar!"
And his wooden body floated away.
He just drifted away.

And now I wonder how i was made...
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face,
my name is Driftwood

There's times where I want something more
Someone more like me
There's times when this dress rehearsal
Seems incomplete
But, you see the colors in me like no one else
And behind your dark glasses you're...
You're something else

You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lucky
Underneath it all
You're really lovely

You know some real bad tricks
And you need some discipline
But, lately you've been trying real hard
And giving me your best
And, you give me the most gorgeous sleep
That I've ever had
And when it's really bad
I guess it's not that bad

You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lucky
Underneath it all
You're really lovely

So many moons that we have seen
Stumbling back next to me
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
Better... better...

You've used up all your coupons
And all you've got left is me
And somehow I'm full of forgiveness
I guess it's meant to be

You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lucky
Underneath it all
You're really lovely

You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lovely
Underneath it all
And you're really lovely

i talked to some old friends last night, it was good to hear from them. but i also remember why i had to pull myself away from them in the first place.

im not very funny today.

but jen, you will be glad to know that i packed my lunch today.. with a turkey sand. and.. string cheese.. =D

but then i bought breakfast this morning and that defeated the purpose of doing so.. but i was very hungry.


sadie slept with me for a long time last night. until like 11 or 12.. but then she was snoring too loud and i had to put her in her bed. but it was cute.. when i went to bed i put her in her bed but then after i was asleep she jumped the gate and crawled into bed with me. its weird that she is big enough to jump onto the bed now... i remember when she couldnt even see the top of the mattress. aaww now i miss her.. she sleeps on my feet every morning when i am getting ready for work.. what a doll.

[ music | point of no return- phantom. ]

You have come here In pursuit of your deepest urge In pursuit of that wish which till now Has been silent, Silent.
I have brought you that our passions may fuse and merge, In your mind you've already succumbed to me, dropped all defenses Completely succumbed to me. Now you are here with me, No second thoughts, You've decided, Decided.
Past the point of no return, No backward glances, Our games of make-believe are at an end. Past all thought of “if” or “when”, No use resisting Abandon thought and let the dream descend.
What raging FIRE shall flood the soul? What rich desire unlocks its door?What sweet seduction lies before us?
Past the point of no return. The final threshold, What warm unspoken secrets Will we learn? beyond the point of no return.
You have brought me To that moment when words run dry, To that moment when speech disappears Into silence, Silence.
I have come here Hardly knowing the reason why. In my mind I've already imagined Our bodies entwining Defenseless and silent. Now I am here with you no second thoughts,I've decided,Decided.
Past the point of no return no going back now, Our passion-play has now at last begun.
Past all thought of right or wrong. One final question, How long should we two wait before we're one?
When will the blood begin to race? The sleeping bud burst into bloom? When will the flames at last CONSUME us?!
Past the point of no return, The final threshold. The bridge is crossed
So stand and watch it burn! We've passed the point of no return.

Say you'll share with me One love, one lifetime. Lead me, save me from my solitude. Say you want me With you here Beside you. Anywhere you go Let me go too, thats all I ask of you.

things always seem to work out. that feeling in my stomache that i thought could only be fixed by abandonment(sp?), is gone. here's to another two years.. "clink"..

ladies, lets throw a get trashed party. we've been working way too hard.

NASCAR was amazing friday night. i had way too much fun. i got drunk and didnt pass out in a random place or throw up! it was too much of a good time.

saturday i cut off a chunk of my finger nail. then ate too much and got sick. then drove around pir for 3 hours just to get jenna and drive all the way back to glendale just to have my phone calls and texts be "ignored".. then to find out that they werent ignored but it was too late cause i was already upset. all in all it was a bad night..

and i dont even want to think about sunday.

but ultimately... friday made it all worth while..

next saturday my family is coming over to my house for a bbq..that should be interesting.

Autumns Monologue

Oh why can't I be what you need?
A new improved version of me.
But I'm nothing so good
no, I'm nothing...
just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs
of violence, of love, and of sorrow.
I beg for just one more tomorrow!
Where you'd hold me down, fold me in
deep deep deep in the heart of your sins.

I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two
and each piece of me dies
and only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me. You dont.

Here I'm pinned between darkness and light,
bleached and blinded by these nights.
Where I'm tossing and tortured till dawn
by you, visions of you, then you're gone.
The shock bleeds the red from my face,
when i hear someone's taken my place.
How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel?
When all, all that i did was for you...

I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two
and each piece of me dies
and only you can give the breath of life!
But you dont see me. You don't.

I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two
and each piece of me dies
and only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me. You don't.

I'd break in two over you,
I'd break in two over you! Over you
I'd break in two,
I would break in two for you.
Now you see me, now you don't.
Now you need me, now you don't.

it starts to sprinkle.. then out of no where.. it is white out side.. i can not see the cars on the road or the building across from us.. it is so loud, people are yelling and kids are screaming.. all you could hear was noise.. just plain noise.. the building was shaking.. this lasted for like 5 minutes but it seemed like it was lasting alot longer.. i didnt know what to do. i was stunned, i had never seen anything like it before ever in my life. finally the rain starts to stop but the wind is still going and all i could hear was blowing and sirens and all i could see is trees bent in half.. at that point i was totally freaked out.. the door was flying open then a customer stopped it.. i couldnt move.. then it all just stops, and goes back to sprinkling like nothing happened.. i look out side and there is shit everywhere..a fucking roof is in the middle of the road.. the sirens are even louder than before powerlines had fallen in the road and there was news about a car that got blown off of the road just a couple miles down.. BLOWN off of the road.

now anytime anything makes a sound i jump..
i thought i was going to fucking die.

then, the phone starts ringing off of the hook, all three lines at once.. people asking about the classes and what to do and its a test week so parents are freaking out because they cant get their kids here and i am just soo tired all i say is " they can make up the missed time ", as if they dont already know that..

on top of it all, i have been working sense 8:00 this morning, and wont be done till 9:00 tonight and i am running on 3 doughnuts. im starving and sleepy and terrified.. david deaton karate studio is the very last place i want to be right now..
