"Mr. Chainsaw" 2004-04-09 - 12:24 a.m. older - previous - next - profile - host - my band - my lj I found out today that 'Hellboy' is the #1 movie in the country, while 'The Passion' has fallen to #5 the irony is delicious so if you missed the entry I had up here earlier but have now deleted; I called in sick to work today fuck it I don't particularly care I don't want to go to work tomorrow, though honestly, the job sucks I'll just have to think about Kill Bill Vol. 2 and sing 'Armageddon' to myself and try not to think too hard about what I'm doing I've been listening to that Alkaline Trio CD I bought almost constantly for the past two days I don't know why; but for some reason I just started listening to the whole thing and now I can't stop I don't know I had to cancel band practice tonight, because I didn't have the gas/gas money to drive downtown; and couldn't get it from my parents that kind of pisses me off, because I really want to play music we've got a drummer now; and we can really start going our goal is to be playing shows by the end of the month I think we can do it and I can't wait I just.. love to play music; love the feeling of having lyrics come out of my mouth in a melodic way the way they vibrate in my vocal cords when I'm really singing I love feeling the strings through my pick, love the way the frets feel underneath my fingers it's just... if I couldn't do it I don't know what I'd do and I need to start doing it again the way it sounds with the bass and the drums behind me [physically, not in an "I'm the frontman" kind of way; I usually wind up with my back to them in the practice room] it's such an indescribable feeling when we really do it right and if we can do it right in front of other people... I only hope it feels as good as it does in my dreams see, I can still be deep(ish) Sweet Dreams When was it that you lost your youth or traded It for something more for them to use so jaded Why is it that you never said I love you more than just a friend I pray this gridlock never ends And when we get there just depends I found out recently that you are leaving For good I hope I softly tell my ceiling It's better now to be alive Sleeping is my 9 to 5 I'm having nightmares all the time Of running out of words that rhyme Everything that you could never say Would never matter anyway I took a hammer and two nails to my eardrums long ago Before that steak knife took my eyes I looked up to the sky For the last thing I would ever see For the last time I cried When was it that you sold your life or wasted Every bite of that small slice you never tasted I guess I should be one to talk There's nights that I can't even walk There's days I couldn't give a fuck And in between is where I'm stuck From blocks away I heard somebody screaming That small child inside of you that you left bleeding You stabbed him up not once but twice Cubicles will now suffice Some say it's the roll of the dice I think they're wrong I know I'm right Every breath that I could barely breathe Could barely make it past my teeth I took a blowtorch to both of my lungs a long, long time ago Every step that i could take Every one more difficult to make Mr. Chainsaw came and took my legs a long, long time ago In case you're wondering I'm singing about growing up about giving in In case you're wondering we're singing about growing up About giving up and giving in -Mr. Chainsaw Alkaline Trio � � |
