do you still hate me? (jawbreaker)

Been hearing about you
all about your disapproval
still I remember
the way I used to move you
I wrote you a letter
I heard it just upset you
why don't you tell me?
how can I do this better?
are you out there?
do you hear me?
can I call you?
do you still hate me?
are we talking?
are we fighting?
is it over?
are we writing?
we're getting older
but we're acting younger
we should be smarter
it seems we're getting dumber
I have a picture
of you and me in Brooklyn
on a porch, it was raining
hey, I remember that day
and I miss you.

cross your heart and hope to die (trever keith)

I won't be long
I just remembered something
you should go on
before the light behind you
fades
such a shame about the weather
it feels
like it's never going to change

unbreakable
what's already broken
and so it goes
not a word is spoken
and the knife gets twisted deeper with a grin
and it doesn't feel like anything
begin to slowly fade
such a shame about the weather
it feels
like it's never going to change

so all along you wanted something
(cross your heart and hope to die)
and all along I didn't care
I don't blame you for never being there
all together now we crumble
into this

I won't be long
I just remembered something
you should go on before the light behind you
fades

so all along you wanted something
(cross your heart and hope to die)
and all along I didn't care
I don't blame you for never being there
all together now we crumble
into this.

the music that died

It's been twenty years
since you and I
laid eyes on one another
what a horrible thought--
twenty years
since you broke me
we were all gods then
raping, conquering
unstoppable and chaotic
I still feel you in me
pulsing, convulsing
to the music that died
so long ago

your blood
so hot
your skin
so perfect
remains in the clear and cold
Colorado air
damn me
damn me and these latent
photographs and fantasies
I can't separate
God's truth from fabrication
I can't breathe
this awful air
without you
strangling me
burning girl
meet
burning boy
it's no wonder
we set the world on fire
you set me up
you tore me down
two years later
you got the fuck out of town
what a girl
burning down the world
one hotel room at a time
one broken bottle
and one broken heart
at a time.

face up (lights)

It's late and I am tired
wish I could spark a smile
the place is flying high
but right now I want to be low
don't want to move an inch
let alone a million miles
and I don't want to go
but I know I gotta go
I just want to feel alive

the times
you don't want to wake up
cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
the sun
is always going to rise up
you need to get up
gotta keep your head up
look at
the people all around you
the way you feel is something everybody goes through
dark out
but you still gotta light up
you need to wake up
gotta keep your face up

seems like the more you grow
the more time you spend alone
before you know it
you end up perfectly on your own
the city's shining bright
but you don't see the light
how come you concentrate on things
that don't make you feel right
I just want to feel alright

I'm looking for more than a little bit
I'm gonna have to find my way through it
gonna leave a mark
I'm gonna set a spark
I'm coming off the ground
I won't be looking down.

monkey in a teacup

Some days
are made for sun
some days
are made for rain
some days
there's nothing but pain
some days
there's you
some days
there's me
someday
we'll be together
just wait and see.

quiet (lights)

*Thought I'd re-upload this.  It seems appropriate.  Of course, when isn't it?  Sorry for the sound quality.*

I'm not yours, and you're not mine
but we can sit and pass the time
no fighting wars, no ringing chimes
we're just feeling fine
this is where we're supposed to be
sitting by a broken tree
no tragedy, no poetry
just staring at the sky

I could wait a thousand hours
stay the same in sun and showers
pick apart a hundred flowers
just to be quiet
tell me when you'll feel ready
I'm the one,
there's not too many
hold my hand to keep me steady
just to be quiet
with you, with you

I like it here, beside you dear
you're even more than you appear
and in the clouds my head is clear
every time you say hello

Here's my heart and here's my mouth
and I can't help if things come out
'cause there are words I want to shout
but maybe I'll stay low

I could wait a thousand hours
stay the same in sun and showers
pick apart a hundred flowers
just to be quiet
tell me when you'll feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
hold my hand to keep me steady
just to be quiet

with you, with you, with you, with you

I'm not yours, and you're not mine
but we can sit and pass the time.

spilled milk

I came for you
I came for you,
it's true
I came for nothing
nothing at all

it's just another line--
"I don't have the time"
I gave you everything I had
and you gave me nothing
nothing at all

stop asking me what's wrong
it's just another fucked-up song
stuck in my head
playing over and over
a thousand times
it doesn't mean anything
it means nothing at all

form the words
formulate the lies
I can see
right-fucking-through you
it's there in your eyes
but you always look away
that's okay
I can walk away
and still remain the same
I will always have
what I've always had--
nothing
nothing at all.
