The Airborne Toxic Event, "Wishing Well" (Song #1 on the playlist)
Standing on a bus stop
Feeling your head pop
Out in the night
In the kind of night
Where you want to be out
On the street, on the street
Crawling up the walls
Like a cat in heat
And the air is thin
And it blows through your skin
And you feel like something
Is about to begin
But you don't know what
And you don't know when
So you tear at your hair
And you scratch at your skin
You wanna run away, run away
Just get on the ******** train and leave today
And it doesn't matter where you spend the night
You just might end up somewhere in a fight, in a fight
Or calling your room on a concrete shelf
Fighting all alone, with yourself, with yourself
And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed
In a wishing well, a wishing well
A wishing well, a wishing well
Well you're tossed in the air
And you fell and you fell
Through the dark blue waters
Where you cast your spell
Like you were just a wish that could turn out well
So you stand on the corner
Where the angels sit
And you think to yourself,
"This is it, this is it
This is all that I have
All I can stand
Is this air in my lungs
And this coin in my hand"
That you tossed in the air
And I fell, and I fell
All the way to the bottom
Of the well, of the well
Like those
soft little secrets
That you tell, that you tell
To yourself, when you think
No one's listening too well...
And she emerged from the dark
Like a ghost in my head
She said,
"I haven't forgot
Any words that you said
I just stare at the clocks
And I cry in my sleep
And I tear up your letters
And I burn them in heaps
And I gather the ashes
In that hole in the ground
Where we fell"
I find someone to love
And some place to drink
And some time when I can just sit and think
And I don't mind if I catch the stink of these drones
Lord, of these drones...
Just as long as I'm never alone
She had eyes as big as porcelain plates
And skin as thin as paper drapes...
Her face so bright, my heart just stopped
Hello my dear, I fear I'm not what I seem
Not what I seem
I should've become a better man
I should be more deserving than
The beggar, thief and courtesan I've been
Oh, that I've been
But I swear, I lie, I curse all of my dreams
But I swear there's still some good in me
And I think if you stuck around you'd see
All the honest attempts at integrity, I was had
Maybe if you helped me, I'd get it right
I lie awake every night, staring at the ceiling
Wondering why I feel so bad, why I feel so bad
But I swear, I swear, I swear I'll never get sad...

Awesomeness!
Sweet. Been a busy week, it seems, yes? Have fun!
Really, there are just some startling similarities between us. When you look closer, we aren't that much alike at all. xd I gave up on the event. I just don't have the patience or the concentration for it. Ze thread is open.

congratulations, heard about your move, so glad things are going well for you, you deserve it heart

The closest I came to living completely alone was in a dorm room my freshman year. I fell into such a deep depression that...>.> It was bad. As much as I am quiet and not one for crowds, I am not one that can handle being completely alone for overly long periods of time. I also get very paranoid and bent out of shape when I'm am by myself. It wears on me. So, no. I never had the urge, the desire, nor did my parents really want me to move out. I spend a lot of the time over the years helping my grandmother before she died and then helping my mother. She is chronically ill...type 1 diabetes, pancreatitis, chirosis, first stage kidney disease...long list of crap. So I stayed at home until I got married. I don't mind a bit.
Sleep well!
It's definitely different, living on your own. For the most part, I liked living with my parents. I never wanted to live in a house or apartment all by myself. Being out here with my family, though, it's been a wonderful thing. I'm sure it'll work out great for you. New house, new hair, new nails....Certainly seeming....new. xd I'll link you when we're ready to open. It might be a short while. We're still figuring stuff out.
i love your avi its cute
It's good to hear you're happy. That is a very far cry from a month ago, methinks. I've been here and there and everywhere. Probably going to start a charity soon with a friend of mine. I've been hanging in my art threads a bit more as of late. smile
