bad things come in threes

Threes (demo version)
by The Format

Eliza's in the elevator
Finding words that rhyme with sunny
I think it's funny how she just leaves funny out
And me, I'm on my way downstairs
Gonna gaze and wander aimlessly
I'm gonna figure out what Manhattan's all about
And how I wish it would rain tonight
I'd find a good excuse to stay inside
And watch those props come tumbling through the air
'Cause it's been the worst year of my life
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna die
So could you please, could you please, could you please
Grow out you hair?

William plays harmonica and guitar
By the side of the sidewalk
I'd love to stay and steal his melody
'Cause he hasn't an answer to force
No one cares about his voice, no
No, not a choice
Sometimes I wish that nobody loved me
And now I wish I could stab my throat
There goes your wife, your car, your home
There goes the life I've convinced myself I wanna own
And Becca you could come back to my clothes
The only note I'll hold is the one you fold
Could you please, oh could you please, oh could you please
Grow out your hair?

Grow it dark and long like the winter
With no split ends, split ends are like friends
I don't need them
And if you've got older friends
Then I suggest you listen to them
Cause they're all I want, the world, the fallen home?
All the prophets...cause they're all in the window?
Yeah, my life is just like religion
I'm making it up as I go, oh, oh, oh.

Well they say all bad things come in threes
Well the last year has made the last three look so easy
You were supposed to keep the disease between you and me
So bandage up your wrists, throw away your prescriptions, and
And baby come back for me, yeah

My legs gave in on Forty-Second,
Lord, I think it's a hint...

be strong, believe

pray for some wings

Girl with broken wings
by Manchester Orchestra

On the porch, she will sit,
light another cigarette,
and take a sip of anything that makes it right.
She's outside, trying to hide from the fight just inside,
where her mom and her dad destroy each other
and on the phone she will call
every boy, yeah, one and all.
They will touch her in all the right places.

And in her room, she will slide
down the bed and try to fly,
and she will fall once again for the feeling
and as he grabs her brown hair,
she is faking
that the feeling he gives her is real
as the floor underneath the bed is
breaking
she will finish what she starts with "i love you."

so from her head to her toes,
nervous hands and runny nose,
all of this just for one night of feeling
and in her ears she will hear
all the things that hide her fears
of dying young and making plans for the future.

and all the marks on her arms
symbolize a fractured heart
and all the boys that were smart
left her alone

so from the roof, she will fly
15 feet down the side
of the house where she once was happy

yes it's true, she's aware
that she is breaking
and it's true, she can't do anything
well in her blue underwear
she is thinking how
in jesus' precious name
she got here

well it's sad but it's true
she is ending
but for now, she will pray for some wings
on a black cadillac she is landing hard
yet her parents' biggest worry is the car

You just have got to love this song! It's so sad, yet perfect. It really gets to me.. every time!
Do you guys know any other song, that is about as tragic as this perfection?
be strong, believe

alive.not.necessarily.living.a.life.


I had this feeling life was pasing by
I slowly realized it was flashing before my eyes
Now I am stuck here to stay
'Cause it's hard to die when you are already dead
I am already dead

BE STRONG. BELIEVE.

Shallow? might seem that way!

If you'd ask whoever that knows who I am, they would guaranteedly call me shallow. Though I'm quite not, just another act of mine.. However I prefer to call myself self-consious, you see, I'm very aware of myself, but not in a shallow kind of way. You know, I'm not the girl who believes herself to be the most prettiest girl in the world... I am just aware-aware of myself, of my flaws to tell the truth. Anyhow, I could rise from where I am sitting just to stand in front of a mirror, doing nothing, for the next thirty minutes or so. I would studdy my very own reflexion, counting all the flaws of mine, telling myself that I'm not capable of becoming perfection itself. It's sort of tragic I suppose, though I'm used to it... used to be as ugly as ugly might be, to others.

BE STRONG. BELIEVE.

Freaking Perfection

Every day it's all the same
I'm falling into this depression thing
Every night I'm awake
Lying there just to fake
I wish I was pretty
Freaking Perfection
But they took it all away
And when I try to take it back I fail
My brain delude me
Want to make me high
Though I'm always down
And all I'm begging for is prettiness
Freaking Perfection!

BE STRONG, BELIEVE!
