I SEND THE PAIN BELOW

i realize i havent done a real update in nearly a week now. nothing really new has happened. comments have been disallowed indefinitely thanks to some recent shananagins and going's on. they may or may not be opened up later.

for any of you who may not know this, the vast majority of my post titles are either song names or song lyrics. and contrary to popular belief, i rarely ever write my own poetry anymore, so most of the poems posted here are mere plagairisms. nothing more. the last post was by the dresden dolls. i bought a new cd of theirs over this past weekend. and when i say new, i have no idea when it was put out, but i've never heard it before. the line about her doing her thing while watching school kids out the window struck me. i thought it was an odd song. the song i'll be copying for this particular post is by duncan sheik. it was playing on a radio in another office a few minutes ago. realizing i havent heard it in a while, i looked up the lyrics because i like this song. i'll post it for you now:


I know what you’re doing,
I see it all to clear
I only taste the saline
when I kiss away your tears

You really had me going,
wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you
are heavier by far

I believed in your confusion,
you were so completely torn
Well it must have been that yesterday
was the day that I was born

There’s not much to examine,
there’s nothing left to hide
You really can’t be serious
if you have to ask me why
I say good-bye...

‘Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day

But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price,
worth the price
The price that I would pay

Everyone keeps asking,
what’s it all about?
I used to be so certain
and I can’t figure out

What is this attraction?
I only feel the pain
There’s nothing left to reason
and only you to blame
Will it ever change?

‘Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care

And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price,
worth the price
The price that I would pay

But I’m thinking it over anyway...

I’ve come to find I may never know
Your changing mind
Is it friend or foe?
I rise above
Or sink below

With every time
You come and go
Please don’t come and go

‘Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care

And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price,
worth the price
The price that I would pay

But I’m thinking it over anyway


that's the end of the song. in addition to the dresden dolls cd, i also bought portishead's first cd. or what i'm assuming is their first cd. it is titled simply "portishead". it rocks ass. not as much ass as dummy rocks. but ass ample enough.
