In a coffee shop in a city
which is every coffee shop in every city
on a day which is every day
I picked up a magazine
which is every magazine
I read a story, then I forgot it right away
and they say goldfish have no memory
I guess their lives are much like mine
and the little plastic castle
is a surprise every time
and it's hard to say if they're happy
but they don't seem much to mind
from the shape of your shaved head
I recognized your silhouette
as you walked out of the sun and sat down
and the sight of your sleepy smile
eclipsed all the other people
as they paused to sneer at the two girls from out of town
and I said, look at you this morning
you are by far the cutest
but be careful getting coffee
I think these people want to shoot us
or maybe there's some kind of local competition here
to see who can be the rudest
and people talk about my image
like I come in two dimensions
like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind
like what I happen to be wearing
the day that someone takes a picture
is my new statement for all of womankind
and I wish they could see us now
in leather bras and rubber shorts
like some ridiculous new team uniform
for some ridiculous new sport
quick, someone call the girl police
and file a report
in a coffee shop in a city
which is every coffee shop in every city
on a day which is every day
Ani Difranco, "Little Plastic Castle"

The night has fallen down the staircase
And I, for one, have felt its bruises
Equilbrium; inebriated
Our social graces have been displaced
As we sink deeper into the drink
The volume increases....
Night time resurrects fault lines
Silent wars -- rumble somewhere below
The surfaces verses...
The surfaces verses...
The shoe is dropped, lungs explode
Shards of words of a shattered voice
And there's still a hole where the phone was thrown
The moon is rising, a revolution
I close my eyes and the room is spinning
You're screaming:
"Sweetie, the moon has raped me --
It has left its seeds like a tomb inside me
So I must learn to abort these feelings
This romance is bleeding..."
Night time triggers the land mines
Bedroom wounds -- lovers like brigadiers
Marching two by two...
Marching two by two...
A soldier's down
Flood gates burst
I've said some things I wish you'd never heard
Like, "There's still a hole where the phone was thrown."
It's growing as we speak
And it's sucking us both in
A vacuum of sorrow to swallow up the day
Cursive - The Casualty

everynight i cry myself to sleep

i just make the most of what i've been given
this is my life and i'm loving every minute

we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

Hello?
Hi its me whats up baby? im sorry listen im gonna be late tonight so dont stay up and wait for me ok?
Where are you?
what?? say... say that again
Hello?
You're really dropping out, I think my battery must be low.
Listen if you can hear me we're going to this place nearby, all right? Gotta go.
Let me tell you the story
'Bout the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out
Just to end up in misery
Was about to go home when
There she was standing in-front of me
And said "Hi, I got a little place nearby
Wanna go?"
I should've said no
Someone's waiting for me
Then I called my girl up and said
(Chorus)
Listen baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late
Don't stay up and wait for me
I said again, your dropping out
My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go
Now is done, nothing's been won
I can't take it back, what's done is done
But one of her friends found out
That she wasn't my only one
And it eats me from inside
That she's not by my side
Just because I made that call, yeah
(Chorus)
Listen baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late
Don't stay up and wait for me
I said again, your dropping out
My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby

Let Go
Drink up baby down.
Mmm, are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind,
'Cuz it's all going off without you.
Excuse me, too busy,
You're writing your tragedy.
These mishaps, you bubble wrap,
When you've no idea what you're like...
So let go
Mmm, jump in
Oh well whatcha waiting for?
It's alright, 'cause there's beauty in the breakdown.
Let Go
Yeah, let go
Just get in
Oh it's so amazing here.
It's alright, 'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
It gains the more it gives,
And then it rises with the fall.
So hand me that remote.
Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow?
Such boundless, pleasure,
We've no time for later now, you,
Can't await, your own arrival
you've twenty seconds to comply.

The reason of the last great revolutionary mind
Crawls under the rug
It's chaos left behind
And the emptiness is always passed
From one hand to the other
So i guess we're all on this one way or another
There are 800 yellow lines from here to a better pain
I'm watching the world go by
From the bar car on the peace train
And the love generation's got tickets for the catskills
And no one has realized that the damn thing's standing still
I have brought my camera so I can capture the scenery
And the looks on our faces when it falls into infinity
I am waiting for the dark outside to masquerade as day
And I am waitting for her eyes of fire to make it go away and
I have never been and never seen the sun go down that way (x3)
And I have never been and never seen the sun go down that way
And here we go. . .
And aren't you glad all the sudden you're free?
I always knew that one day it would eventually hit me.
And I always knew that in the end it was us we'd never own
So everyone
So everyone
So everyone
Welcome home
Welcome home
Welcome home
The dream pushes on through the out and into the driving rain
The band plays on even though the song will never change
And the words are like suicide
They happen fast and weep in vain
And the wind cries
Maybe or maybe not it's all the same
The last great poetic genius of our time
Probably died of starvation
Begging for a
Begging for a
Dive back into the silence of your little world
The silence of your little life
The silence of our last goodbye
Aren't you glad all the sudden you're afraid?
As if everything you'll ever do will never clean up the mess we made
I am waiting for the light outside to masqurade as night
I am waiting for her broken arms to make everything all right
And I have never been and never seen the sun come up that way
I have never been and never seen the sun come up that way
I have never been and never seen the sun come up that way
I have never been and never seen the sun come up that way
And aren't you glad all the sudden that you're free?
I always knew that one day it would eventually hit me
And I always knew that in the end it was us we'd never own

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.
God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said "yes I think we've met before"
In that instant it started to pour
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name
This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
You tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
And now you're outside me you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin
It's nothing but time and a face that you'll lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road, from real love
Live through this and you won't look back
There's one thing I have to say so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
