" i think i know what's on your mind; a couple words, a great divide; waiting in the wings a sparring spite.
crawling out the foreground from behind.
even though you're the only one i see.
if you ask, i got you free.
please don't lay for a chance, it'll never be...
take anything you want, it's fine. keep up the slow life for the night.
don't take it back, i'll just deny this constant noise all the time.
even though you're the only one i see.
if you ask, i got you free.
please don't lay for a chance it'll never be...
the wind in front of you.
even though you're the only one i see

" it's the way that you blush when you're nervous. it's your ability to make me earn this. i know that you're tired, just let me sing you to sleep.
it's about how you laugh out of pity, 'cause let's be honest i'm not really that funny. i know that you're shot, just let me sing you to sleep.
if you need anything just say the word, i mean, anything. rest assured if you start to doze then i'll tuck you in, plant my lips where your necklace is closed.
it's those pills that you don't need to take; medicating perfection now that's a mistake. i know that you're spent, just let me sing you to sleep.
it's your finger and how i'm wrapped around it. it's your grace and how it keeps me grounded. i know that you're weak, just let me sing you sleep.
if you need anything just say the word, i mean, anything. rest assured if you start to doze then i'll tuck you in, plant my lips where your necklace is closed.
while you were sleeping i figured out everything: i was constructed for you and you were molded for me. now i feel your name coursin' through my veins. you shine so bright, it's insane you put the sun to shame.
if you need anything ,just say the word, i mean, anything (i really do). rest assured if you start to doze then i'll tuck you in, plant my lips where your necklace is closed... "

' reckoner, you can't take it with you; disavow the pleasure. you are not to blame for bittersweet distractors. better not speak his name; dedicated to all you, all your needs. because we separate it ripples our reflections. because we separate it ripples our reflections. reckoner, dedicated to all you, all your needs... '

* these are soundtrack songs. spotlight, eyes on fire and super massive black hole are from the first 'twilight' soundtrack. meet me on the equinox and hearing damage are from the 'new moon' sountrack. i already know how overwhelmingly cool i am so no need to mention it. did i mention i'm a huge nerd and am purchasing the 'new moon' soundtrack on friday? i feel giddy.

newest obsession

one word: radiohead.
i'm a huge fan of in rainbows at the moment after downloading the entire radiohead discography. i feel so left out of an inside joke having not discovered the vast love i have for this band sooner. thom yorke is a genius. radiohead is perfect for this dreary, snow covered grey skied landscape i find myself living in now. perfect accompaniment for the lonely reading i do on the c-train. tonight i'll think about listening to pablo honey. maybe kid a. the possibilities are infinite at this point, since nothing i've listened to has been bad.
then again, i'm in a honeymoon stage. i'm sure there will be stuff i'm not completly enamoured with.
or maybe not.
i'm also highly intrigued as to what thom yorke has submitted for the nm soundtrack. like the huge nerd i am, i'm eagerly anticipating friday, now that they've bumped up the release date for the soundtrack. so many songs to pour over! so many questions, only to have their answers delivered to me almost a month later.
insufferable.
speaking of insufferable, i have to go read that horrific book because i'm hooked like a junkie. at least i'm past the part where i openly weep in public. did i ever get some weird stares on the c-train as i wiped my tears on my jacket. people don't know how to react when there's someone crying. especially when it seems like it's over nothing. i can't help it.

enough. anyways, a quick playlist since i'm head over heels in love.

10. videotape
9. 15 step
8. last flowers to the hospital
7. reckoner
6. down is the new up
5. 4 minute warning
4. jigsaw falling into place
3. bodysnachers
2. faust arp
1. house of cards

these are my all time favorites from in rainbows. they just put me in a mellow mood when i listen to them. and believe me, that's a good thing.

' if the fish swam out of the ocean and grew legs and they started walking. and the apes climbed down from the trees and grew tall and they started talking. and the stars fell out of the sky and my tears rolled into the ocean-- now i'm looking for a reason why you even set my world into motion. 'cause if you're not really here then the stars don't even matter. now, i'm filled to the top with fear but it's all just a bunch of matter because if you're not really here then i don't want to be either. i want to be next to you, black and gold, black and gold, black and gold. i looked up into the night sky and see a thousand eyes staring back and all around these golden beacons i see nothing but black. i feel a way of something beyond them, i don't see what i can feel. if vision is the only validation then most of my life isn't real. 'cause if you're not really here then the stars don't even matter. now, i'm filled to the top with fear but it's all just a bunch of matter because if you're not really here then i don't want to be either. i want to be next to you, black and gold, black and gold, black and gold...
