The NEW and IMPROVED Random Thread!

And all the awkward ways
That you recoil
When I get close
And oh, the awful grin
That greets me when
I'm all alone

So down on hands and knees,
Choking, gasping, dripping spit
I just can't make good
On any of these promises

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Then he asked me,
"What does that mean?"
What's another word for desperate?
Repetition makes an impression
What's another word for desperate?
I won't be around here for too very long

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

So tip the bottle back,
Bubble foam, and watch it break
We can all be sure
Something awful's coming this way

So take this medicine
And measure doses,
Take your time
'Cause they'll tear into you
They will, they will, they will, they will

So what's another word for desperate?
I won't be around here for too very long
I won't be around here for too very long

And they'll tear into you

Take it apart and let it all go
Holdin' it back it's all just so...
Why did I care?
How did it go?
Wait for a while and I guess that
I won't be around here for too very long
I won't be around here for too very long

And all our sins come back to haunt us in the end
To hang around and tap us on the shoulder
And smile
Silent
It's all implied
"You'll die trying to live this down. You might as well forget it"

Still, I'm convinced wondering what if is the worst thing there is

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

So we bottled and shelved all our regrets
Let them ferment and came back to our senses
Drove back home and slept a few days
Woke up and laughed at how stupid we used to be

And all these lines fall short of what I had in mind
A failed attempt to capsulize a feeling
So I just try fail and try and try again
Someday I swear I'm going to get it

'Cause I'm convinced giving in is the worst thing there is

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

So we bottled and shelved all our regrets
Let them ferment and came back to our senses
Drove back home and slept a few days
Woke up and laughed at how stupid we used to be

We'll get over it
Sad, strong, safe and sober
We'll move forward
And know where we went wrong
But "you can't go home again"

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

We'll get over it
(But "You can't go home again, you can't go home again")
Sad, strong, safe and sober
(You can't go home again, can't go home)
We'll move forward
(You can't go home again, you can't go home again)
And know where we went wrong
(You can't go home again)

So we bottled and shelved all our regrets
Let them ferment and came back to our senses
Drove back home and slept a few days
Woke up and laughed at how stupid we used to be

Damage control.
They're so thoroughly modern.
We'll tell you how it goes
It's not a serious problem.
So we can be convinced
And we can get convinced,
But either the truth, it's bound to get twisted.
You can take a break when the fate of the world is waiting on your next decision.

So I focused on what I've been promised
And then they tore us open,
They bled us dry of our dignity and money.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

It's all under control
So keep holding it together.
Well things just fall apart,
But you know we can't wait forever.

So come on try and keep this, keep this, you can grit your teeth and do your job
They'll never know the difference.
Keep it going one day,
A month, a year or more.
Ignore that sinking feeling.

So I focused on what I've been promised
And then they tore us open,
They bled us dry of our dignity and

So I focused on what I've been promised
And then they tore us open,
They bled us dry of our dignity and money.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

We should've seen it coming (Should've seen it)
We should've seen it coming (Should've seen it)
We should've seen it coming (We should've seen it)
We left ourselves wide open

So I focused on what I've been promised
And then they tore us open,
They bled us dry of our dignity and

Maybe we could all retain a bit our ourselves.
Remember who we were and keep on moving.
(So I focused on what I've been promised)
Put things in perspective.
Try and learn a lesson.
(And then they tore us open)
It's not life or death,
It's only business.
(They bled us dry of our dignity and money)

Your name here, believe me
It's not what you think
Wish what you want
It's all the same to me
Well not really but anyway
It's just it's nothing so simple
Nothin' so silly
Nothin' so mundane

Go east on Sunrise Highway
Turn left at Carmen's Avenue
Go right at the first stoplight
And I'll be outside waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Your name in lights
It was only a matter of time
Your name in parentheses
'Cause after this mess
I guess you'd bet that I'd collapse before you do
Well maybe that's true, or maybe it's not at all

Go east on Sunrise Highway
Turn left at Carmen's Avenue
Go right at the first stoplight
And I'll be outside waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you

Go east on Sunrise Highway
Turn left at Carmen's Avenue
Go right at the first stoplight
And I'll be outside waiting for you

Replacing old dreams with flattery from new loves
A hurricane; self help into this evacuation from this
You never meant to, you never meant to

Call me
Call me
I'll answer
Do you think that this could work out?
Do you think you could come around?
Do you think that this could work out again?
I don't, I don't want to be forgotten
While you're putting all your time in
Into things that don't mean anything to me

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

It's too bad and it's even sadder
Losing everything that I thought
This was a lost cause
It was and I never knew it
I never knew it
Try them on and let them go
It might be best to just forget me
Walk away and know you're better off to
You're better off to

Call me
Call me
I'll answer
Do you think that this could work out?
Do you think you could come around?
Do you think that this could work out again?
I don't, I don't want to be forgotten
While you're putting all your time in
Into things that don't mean anything to me

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Wasting faster than the hourglass it's slow but I'm not ready, not okay
Don't make this harder than it already had to be

Call me
Call me, I'll answer
Do you think that this could work out?
Do you think you could come around?
Do you think that this could work out again?
I don't, I don't want to be forgotten
While you're putting all your time in
Into things that don't mean anything to me

Do you think that this could work out?
Do you think you could come around?
Do you think that this could work out again?
I don't

And it takes more time than I've ever had
Drains the life from me
Makes me want to forget
As young as I was, I felt older back then
More disciplined, stronger and certain

But I was scared to death of eternity
I was saved by grace
But destroyed by naivety
And I lied to myself
And said it was for the best

And now faith is replaced with a logic so cold
I've disregarded what I was
Now that I'm older
And I know much more than I did back then
But the more I learn
The more I can't understand

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

And I've become content with this life that I lead
Where I drink too much and don't believe in much of anything
And I lie to myself
And say "It's for the best"

We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on something that will never come
We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on something that will never come

We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on something that will never come
(I lie to myself)

We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on something that will never come
(And say "It's for the best")

We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on something that will never come
(I lie to myself)

We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on something that will never come
(And say "It's for the best")

Moving in slow like the smoke
From your cigarette
Every step closer's a step
That we both will regret
Keeping a tally but who can keep track?
Your overreacting is taking me back
To a time better left alone

Holding on to the phone
Holding on to this glass
Holding on to the memory of what didn't last
Waiting for betters words; they'll never come
So dry your eyes, it's better now it's done

Keep a tight grip like a child
Holding onto a swing set
Waiting and hoping to find what I can't figure out yet
Please don't, unless this is something you mean
Another nightmare instead of a dream
Better left alone

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Holding on to the phone
Holding on to this glass
Holding on to the memory of what didn't last
Waiting for betters words; they'll never come
So dry your eyes

Holding on to the phone
Holding on to this glass
Holding on to the memory of what didn't last
Waiting for betters words; they'll never come
So dry your eyes, it's better now it's done

I never lost so much
I never lost so much
I never lost so much

Holding on to the phone
Holding on to this glass
Holding on to the memory of what didn't last
Waiting for better words; they'll never come
So dry your eyes

Holding on to the phone
Holding on to this glass
Holding on to the memory of what didn't last
Waiting for betters words; they'll never come
So dry your eyes, it's better now it's done
