The What's On Your Mind Thread and the Battle of Hogwarts

[Raven_the_Bird]

This isn't highschool, this isn't highschool...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Eight songs so far...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

None on that one.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

And again.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

And none. That's all.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

So it's sad this doesn't suit you now
And me fresh out of rope
Please ignore this lisp
I never meant to sound like this

So take me and break me
And make me strong like you
I'll be forever grateful to this and you

It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Fix me to a chain around your neck
Wear me like a nickel
Even new wine served in old skins
Cheapens the taste

I shot the pilot,
I'm begging you to fly this for me
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised
Do you understand?

It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

But how could I miscalculate?
Perfect eyes will have perfect aim
If I can choose, it's only you

We're wrecking and I'm dry like a drum
A disgrace, so fine, I'll leave
We're spinning take our time in trials measured in miles
We slave for days and weeks

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you

How could I miscalculate?
Perfect lies from a perfect aim
If I can choose, it's only you

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Back in school, they never taught us what we needed to know
Like how to deal with despair or someone breakin' your heart
For twelve years, I've held it all together
But a night like this is beggin' to pull me apart

I played it quiet left you deep in conversation
I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen
I remember, I kept thinking that I know you never would
And now I know, I want to kill you like only a best friend could

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

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

As if it happening wasn't enough
I got to go and write a song just to remind myself how bad it sucked
Ignore the sun, covers over my head
Wrote a message on my pillow that says 'Jesse, stay asleep in bed'

Don't apologize
(I hope you choke and die)
Search your cell for something which you hang yourself
They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven
But they don't tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

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)

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

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

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

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

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

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

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

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

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Passed out on the overpass
Sunday best and broken glass
Broken down from the bikes and bars
Suspended like spirits over speeding cars

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

You and me we're kings over the parkway tonight
And tonight will go on forever while we
Walk around this town like we own the streets
And stay awake through summer like we own the heat

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Singing 'Everybody wake up it's time to get down'
(Wake up, everybody, everybody wake up it's time to get down)
And when I pass the bottle back to Pete
On the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever
(Cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever
(Sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party
(This offer)
'Cause we keep them going constantly
(Stands forever)

And we'll never have to listen
(New haircut)
To anyone about anything
(New bracelet)
'Cause it's all been done and it's all been said
(Eyeliner)
We're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

The hell out of this town find some conversation
The low fuel lights been on for days, it doesn't mean anything
I've got another 500, 'nother 500 miles
Before we shut this engine down, we shut it down

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever
(Cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever
(Sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party
(This offer)
'Cause we keep them going constantly
(Stands forever)

And we'll never have to listen
(New haircut)
To anyone about anything
(New bracelet)
'Cause it's all been done and it's all been said
(Eyeliner)
We're the coolest kids and we take what we can get
(Wait forever)
