The Hangout Thread, Tildes, and Italics

[Raven_the_Bird]

Plastic blue
Conversations in my room
Saving every tear for you
Trusting every word untrue
Twilight fading

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Fate changes faster than the death of light
You provide the envy
And I'll provide the spite
Reflections cutting every face in two
Casting shadows in the pale shade of blue

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I can play the intro for Video Kid (56 keys/whatever) I just forget most of what you do after 28 if I don't use my keyboard often. I was stuck on the first 14 forever.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Next phase, next craze, next nothing new
Got the pretty boy beat him up black and blue
Broke the sissy boy's teeny toy heart in two
Turned him into a video kid like you

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I know we're just pretending
There's no window for escape
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

There's something like the third line in a few other TBM songs...I didn't notice til the new EP...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Shot the pretty boy killed him on commodore
Need a new game, need a new something more
Got a new face got a new way to score
Got a voice like something I've heard before

I know we're just pretending
There's no window for escape
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break

[Raven_the_Bird]

The message misleading
We're lying, we're cheating
We're only repeating
The motions preceding

I know we're just pretending
There's no window for escape
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break

[Raven_the_Bird]

Her fabulous invention, what strange imagination shown
Her glorious intentions, a sea of doubt beneath her own
"You're not the first to dream this, little girl
You know it's never happened once in this world
It never crossed my mind that one so young could hope to find a power greater than my own."

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

She never did what they told her to
And they'll never see her dream come true

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

The edge of revelation, believing all the stories told
A final moment taken before this story's end unfolds
"You're not the first to dream this, little girl
You know it's never happened once in this world
It never crossed my mind that one so young could hope to find a power greater than my own."

She never did what they told her to
And they'll never see her dream come true

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Now she flies over clouds in twilight skies
Nothing to bind her, no one will find her this high
Far above the rainy weather,
All plans have come together,
And for the first time she feels just fine

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

It's getting late
It all just wanes and pales and fades away
If we just want it too much
And what a shame if all there is
Is all that's gone away
There's nothing left here for us

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Dead light holiday
Killing time to make us stay
Hollow as the promises of yesterday
On and on the music plays
Memories in paraphrase
Falling past my window
Like the morning rain

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

It's all the same
So many words remaining
Always too late
It never seems worth taking
And all the days
And all the nights lost sleeping
And in the end
The secret's not worth keeping

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Dead light holiday
Killing time to make us stay
Hollow as the promises of yesterday
On and on the music plays
Memories in paraphrase
Falling past my window
Like the morning rain

Dead light holiday
Killing time to make us stay
Hollow as the promises of yesterday
On and on the music plays
Memories in paraphrase
Falling past my window
Like the morning rain

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Five glasses changed my mind.
Seems like the ticking hands are taking their time.
I guess I've been at home for longer than it takes to unwind,
So slap me if I step out of line.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Now in smaller spaces, careless lust intoxicated.
Away from prying eyes and rabid smiles and everything's shattering.
My invitation was involuntary dilation and now I can't recall your name.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I think we've met before
It was last Christmas on our parent's accord
You where the young man in the costume that was hard to ignore
And I was feeling hopelessly bored...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Now you're conversations scholarships and occupations.
You look so different than before when...Nevermind...Anyway...
This reckless violation, tarnishing my reputation
Has left me nothing kind to say
