Four Paper Roses

I wonder if she even knows
The meaning of the azure rose,
My hopeless hope set in a vase --
Perhaps I'll tell her, just in case.

In reckless love I gave to her
A rose in shades of lavender,
For I believe that in her heart
She knows I've loved her from the start.

A yellow bloom tipped red like fire
I made to show my true desire
To be a friend, and so much more --
To be the man she's waiting for.

A single rose of deepest red
I placed into her hands and said,
"This rose contains my love so true;
I've always been in love with you."

I'm a Hard Rocker in a Parallel Universe.

I'm face down on the shore
I'm drowning in the high tide
And now just as before
I'm dying on the inside

What's left for me to say
I put myself in these chains
Now turn your face away
The darkness bleeds from my veins

False Reality

This foolish heart has traded truth
For false reality;
Now holding on to empty hope
Will be the death of me

Pretty Much, Yeah.

"If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
so let me ask
would you like that?
would you like that?

and I don't mind
if you say this love is the last time
so now I'll ask
do you like that?
do you like that?

No

Something's getting in the way
something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
so tell me how it should be

try to find out what makes you tick
as I lie down
sore and sick
do you like that?
do you like that?

there's a fine line between love and hate
and I don't mind
Just let me say that I like that
I like that

Something's getting in the way
something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
as I burn another page
as I look the other way
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane
so tell me how it should be

Desperate, I will crawl
waiting for so long
no love, there is no love
die for anyone
What have I become

Something's getting in the way
something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
as I burn another page
as I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane"

-- Breaking Benjamin, "Diary of Jane"

In the Fall

In the Fall I fall for you,
but Winter turns your love so cold;
in the Spring I rise again,
and in the Summer, I grow bold:

In the Fall...

8 Oct

"So, guess I got old
I was like trash on the sidewalk
I guess I knew why
Often it's hard to just sweet talk

I was old news to you then
Old news, old news to you then."

-- Fleet Foxes, "Lorelai"

Later That Same Thursday

That demon Doubt well he won't win out
No, not this time around; I stand on solid ground
Oh Apathy, now let go of me
I'm walking in the Light, by faith and not by sight
