“Some friends of mine said it sounded like I was trying to get something romantic going with someone, and that’s not what it was supposed to be about. It was supposed to be, “You’re really fun to be with and I really like you a lot because of that, but I am really, really depressed,” but I don’t know if that came across. When I said, “ready to go,” it was supposed to mean tired of living.”

I’ll auction off my ears, maybe even pawn my fears.
I feel like I’m bobbing and weaving through a maze when I listen to this! This song is like the springboard into Sound the Alarm, yet the paranoid after-thought following “In My Waking Life”. Geeking out so hard over here!
Complications
I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business
I’m glad my buddy is doing well for himself :)

I adore this song so damn much.
Everyone rock with me. Rock with me for just a second.

Think I might cry myself sleep tonight listening to this

I Hate Everyone
I’m honestly just so fed up and disgusted with the human race.
I don’t know who I am or what I’m doing and everyone I know has become a completely different person.
I was in love with everyone when life was good. I was in love with who I thought I was and who I thought my friends were.
I feel like my brain is constantly playing a game of catch-up to try to understand why. But if there’s anything I’ve learned over these past few years it’s that sometimes there is no logical explanation for certain things.
And that just drives me crazy because I try to make logical connections with everything.
Which is probably detrimental to a way of healthy thinking.
Another night of drifting. Hoping I’ll dream good dreams tonight, bottling up more feelings that will probably force their way out of me at the most inopportune time - maybe another panic attack.
Nothing ever works. Nothing is the same. And nothing will ever be the way it was ever again. Nothing’s easy. And I hate it.
I just need to finish school and fulfill my calling by NOT getting a 9 to 5 job and clocking in and out.
I need to find something I love with people I love.
I think deep down I’m just insecure and scared.
“Perhaps we dont like what we see: our hips, our loss of hair, our shoe size, our dimples, our knuckles too big, our eating habits, our disposition. We have disclosed these things in secret, likes and dislikes, behind doors with locks, our lonely rooms, our messy desks, our empty hearts, our sudden bursts of energy, our sudden bouts of . Don’t worry. Put away your mirrors and your beauty magazines and your books on tape. There is someone right here who knows you more than you do, who is making room on the couch, who is fixing a meal, who is putting on your favorite record, who is listening intently to what you have to say, who is standing there with you, face to face, hand to hand, eye to eye, mouth to mouth. There is no space left uncovered. This is where you belong.”
