The Hangout Thread, Happy Holidays!

Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to

And everyone's caught on to everything you do
(And I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to
(And I can't let you let me down again)

So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
'Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish
I've seen more guts in eleven year old kids

Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
Then again when your head goes through the windshield

Is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick
In the small of my back
So let's end this call and end this conversation

And is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
'Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
When you say best friends, means friends forever

I've been meaning to ask you how life looks from the nose bleed seat section,
and to ask you how it feels to bleed.
Your life's a waste and the way that I'll ask it will have revenge woven throughout,
but will be masked with the concern that a friend would bring.
You're so incomplete.

Hold a mirror to show just what you've become and read your diary to figure out where things went wrong.
I don't think I'll ever understand, how a cowardly cat can call himself a man.

You're all show and it's getting old. You're all show and it's getting old.
As for the rest of us, we'll do fine with what we have, making the best of what is left.
And you're a naysayer who will never know what it's like to really have half a life.

I've been meaning to harm you in the best way that I see fit. I'm not sure if this did the trick, but I think it did.

Hold a mirror to show just what you've become and read your eulogy to figure out where things went wrong.
I hope one day you understand that a girl on your arm won't make you a man.

You're all show and it's getting old. You're all show and it's getting old.
As for the rest of us, we'll do fine with what we have, making the best of what is left.
And you're a naysayer who will never know what it's like to really have half a life.

Inside you're begging for a cure for your disease. You're life's a crime scene and it won't help to blame me.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

It's the tearing sound of love-notes
Drowning out these gray stained windows
And the view outside is sterile
And I'm only two cubes down
I'd photocopy all the things that we could be
If you took the time to notice me
But you can't now, I don't blame you
And it's not your fault that no one ever does

But you don't work here anymore
It's just a vacant three by four
And they might fill your place
A temporary stand-in for your face
This happens all the time
And I can't help but think I'll die alone

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

So I'll spend my time with strangers
A condition and it's terminal
In this water-cooler romance
And it's coming to a close
We could be in the park and dancing by a tree
Kicking over blades we see
Or a dark beach with a black view
And pin-pricks in the velvet catch our fall

But you don't work here anymore
It's just a vacant three by four
And they might fill your place
A temporary stand-in for your face
This happens all the time
And I can't help but think I'll die alone

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I know you don't work here anymore
I know you don't work here anymore
I know you don't work here anymore
I know you don't work here anymore
I know you don't work here anymore (anymore)
I know you don't work here anymore (anymore)

Sometimes I think I'll die alone, sometimes I think I'll die alone
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, live and breathe and die alone
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, sometimes I think I'll die alone
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, I think I love to die a-

Just (just) take (take)
I think I'd love to die
Me (me) down (down)
I think I'd love to die
Just (just) take (take)
I think I'd love to die
Me (me) down (down)
I think I'd love to die alone

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I think I'd love to die alone
I think I'd love to die alone
I think I'd love to die alone
Live and breathe and die alone
I think I'd love to die alone
I think I'd love to die alone

I think I'd love to die alone

I'm not afraid of standing still
I'm just afraid of being bored
I'm not afraid of speaking my mind
I'm just afraid of being ignored

I'm not afraid of feeling
And I'm not afraid of trying
I'm just afraid of losing
And I am afraid of dying

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I'm not afraid of being sick
I'm more afraid of being well
I'm not afraid
Put the gun in my hand
I'm just afraid it will hurt like (hurt like) hell

I'm not afraid of screaming
And I'm not afraid of crying
I'm just afraid of forgetting
And I am afraid of dying

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I'm not afraid of looking ugly
I couldn't care what they say
I'm not afraid of happy endings
I'm just afraid my life won't work that way

I'm not afraid of forgiveness
I absolve you everything
I'm not afraid of lying...
But I am afraid of dying

Once, long ago there was a time in what now seems a distant land
Each small boutique was precious and unique
'Cause every little thing was made by hand
Then there came a revolution
The progress of production was its aim
Now instead of one, there are many
And each costs just a penny
But every single one looks just the same

Now there's a Starbucks on every bloody corner
McDonald's on everybody's street
There's White Castle, Wendy's and Walmart
And then it all repeats
If you're the kind that looks down on the masses
Even for your there's a feint
Get some New Rocks or a pair of Docs
Look just like those who ain't

And that is how (Tell us how)
It came to be (How can it be?)
After two long centuries
That in the name (What's in a name?)
Of human greed
The industrial revolution fixed everything for me

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

And so now if one does well with a business
They open two more and then three
They buy in bulk in big massive hulks
At which point it's nearly free
As they grow bigger their prices get lower
Until they become a chain
The smaller stores all shutter their doors and buckle 'neath the strain

And that is how (Tell us how)
It came to be (How can it be?)
After two long centuries
That in the name (What's in a name?)
Of human greed
The industrial revolution fixed everything for everyone
It came into our lives and gave us uniformity by taking choice away from you and me

And that is how (Tell us how)
It came to be (How can it be?)
After two long centuries
That in the name (What's in a name?)
Of human greed
The industrial revolution fixed everything for every bloody one
It came into our lives and gave us uniformity by taking choice away from you
(Taking choice away from me!)
Taking choice away from you and me

Now the machines are working tirelessly
Through all night and day
Making garbage in our image
For a world that's made our way
And they won't stop until every inch
From Peru to Bombay
Looks like a mall in the US of A

I feel bad about saving this message posted by someone who was drunk and deleted it later xD I can blame Google for me finding it/being a creepy fan...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

xD

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I'm sure I could still find it the same way...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Unless that Blogspot thing changed...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Yay!
