Innocent and Sweet

The things I said were never meant to get around
And the trends I started were never meant to make a sound

I'm calling to angels in hope
Still falling through the unknown
I'll keep my pride tonight
I fought for what was right
Please remember me as innocent and sweet

I tried to get them to open up their minds
To worry about love and never about time
And maybe they'll listen and after I'm gone
And I'll keep my reason
Sealed tight in this song

I'm calling to angels in hope
Still falling through the unknown
I'll keep my pride tonight
I fought for what was right
Please remember me as innocent and...

I'm calling to angels in hope
Still falling through the unknown
I'll keep my pride tonight
I fought for what was right
Please remember me as innocent and sweet

Why is it that everyone is focused on appearances? Who tells us what is beautiful and what isn't? Who decides this fine line? Who tells us that we should feel uncomfortable when we're not 105 lbs? Who decided that being 105 lbs will make us happy? Why are we so convinced that it will? Why do our thighs have to not touch, our stomachs have to be flat, and our arms not be flabby? Who are we trying to satisfy? Others? Ourselves? Why would we kill to be a certain way? I'm still breathing. What else is there?

Take My Hand

Calm your nerves now
Don't worry, just breathe
Are you sure now?
Don't bother packing, let's just leave
Said they wanted change
I hope that you remain the same
To show that this is not a game
Let's end this tragedy today

Now take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over

Lay down with me
Let me hold you, baby just breathe
This is ending
We will get through eventually
Said they wanted change
I hope that you remain the same
To show that this is not a game
We'll end this tragedy today

Now take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over

Take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
And did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over now

We won't be a part of
We won't be a part of this
We won't be a part of
We won't be a part of this
We won't be a part of
We won't be a part of this
We won't be a part of
We won't, we won't

Take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over

Now take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over

Take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over, it's over, it's over now

We won't be a part of
We won't be a part of this
We won't be a part of
We won't, we won't

I wish I could runaway right now... if only I had resources.

The City is Contagious

The word is out; this town can hardly breathe
When air is filled with dust and dying dreams
Attaching wings to all the sights
We're making sure these buildings fly
We worked too hard to leave without a fight

Go ahead and tell everyone you know
We stole the show

Right now, this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up; you're hearing more than sound
Right now, this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need

The word is out; this town, it never sleeps
A feeding ground for those who still believe
Kissing curbs to bide our time
On this last night to feel alive
We will never leave this place behind

Go ahead and tell everyone you know
We stole the show

Right now, this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up; you're hearing more than sound
Right now, this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need

Make us; this city's contagious
Caught inside its pages
We are leaving it all
Hate us; it'll only save us
Stronger than we came up
We are leaving it all

Hate us; it'll only save us
(Right now, this town is for the taking)
Stronger than we came up
(We'll bring neon to its knees)
We are leaving it all
(Our time to shine beyond the pavement)
We've got everything we need

Right now, this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up; you're hearing more than sound
Right now, this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need

The future is bright. There's no where to go but up.

Vegas Skies

It's twelve o' clock and I need your attention
It's like the alcohol making my head spin
Your scent is the rum, the room is a bottle
Keeping me hopeless till I wake tomorrow

And if tonight ever makes a difference
The way that I feel the way that I'll remember it
I'll take this down until the glass remains
Swallow the words that I was meant to say

It's a long drive back to Vegas skies
So why don't, I make one more wrong turn tonight so

Say goodnight our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together
And know that the timing was right

All of these guards they stand tall and defensive
Putting up walls around what was once innocent
They won't let me in, but I'm stronger than that
'Cause you stole my eyes and I've never looked back

Girl last night I forgot to mention
The way that I feel the way that I'll remember this
When we're this young we have nothing to lose
Just a clock to beat and a hand to choose

It's a long drive back to Vegas skies
So why don't, I make one more wrong turn tonight so

Say goodnight our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together
And know that the timing was right

It's a long way down
Just fall into place and you'll fall into me
We'll make it out you'll see

So say goodnight our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together

And say goodnight our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together
And know that the timing was right

Romantic things in movies
The warm and fuzzy feeling
Coca-Cola Classic
Coca-cola Classic + Vodka
Corona + lime
Focus (the water, not the car)
Sweet dreams
Pizza right after drunkenness
Rocking out to lame music
Lame people
12 hours of sleep
Finding a seat on the subway
TAI
The smell of clean
Slow songs about love
Fairytales
Bad asses
Tattoos (the cool ones)
Piercings in the right places
Everything bagels + herb and garlic CC
Big zip-up hoodies
Purple and grey together
British accents, then Australian
Black skinny pants
Charm
England
Band t-shirts
Black socks
Roger Federer
Ben Barnes
Fashion
Black nailpolish
Always Be My Baby

Note: A 'Hate' blog will follow

Today I did nothing that I wanted to. Exhaustion was just too powerful. I didn't study, just tried to sleep some more. But I couldn't. Anyways, I got my tattoo touched up today. My god, it hurt way more than last time! The whole time I was clenching my hand, desperately trying not to move. After it was all done, it was all stingy. I didn't remember it being stingy last time. Oh the sacrifices for the things we love. I think I just wasn't mentally prepared/psyched as last time. Anyways, I asked 'Steve' if moshing was allowed with the tat. 'No', says 'Steve'. Haha, I might have to hold back on the moshing until it's healed =(. So its now about 1am. I have class at.. 8am? Not cool, Anita. Not cool. Well, I'm going to end the uneventful tales of my life, so you can all get back to yours. Cheers.

You've Got The Nerve

These chains won't break
These locks will hold all of your mistakes
You've set in reserve
Try not to shake
They'll never know all of these things
You've come to deserve

You've got the nerve
To count your sins but not your blessings
The way you instigate is often interesting
It's too sad to see that you believe in me
Sit in the corner
Think about the life you're missing
You can keep talking
But you know we'll never listen
It's too sad to see that you believe in me

I told you things
I guess I should have known
That you would let them out
Lies stay a while but
They through them out
You lie to me
You seemed torn up
I let you in, but you let me down

You've got the nerve
To count your sins but not your blessings
The way you instigate is often interesting
It's too sad to see that you believe in me
Sit in the corner
Think about the life you're missing
You can keep talking
But you know we'll never listen
It's too sad to see that you believe in me

It's not too late
You're not too sure
We think you have it in you (x2)

You've got the nerve
To count your sins but not your blessings
The way you instigate is often interesting
It's too sad to see that you believe in me
Sit in the corner
Think about the life you're missing
You can keep talking
But you know we'll never listen
It's too sad to see that you believe in me

And these chains won't break
These locks will hold
