Oh love, I heard on the news that the world would be ending real soon, real soon
so I, I wanted to see if you'd sit with me and watch it all burn away

Don't mind the silence, everything's, everything's burned away
I'll try to save you, even though all things must end, must end.

Isn't this hell? well I ain't the man you used to hold
and share deep deep breaths with
Well I cut his neck and left him to die
so his last breath would be not a beg, but a whimper.

Don't mind the silence, everything's, everything's burned away
I'll try to save you, even though all things must end, must end.

Don't mind the silence, everything's, everything's burned away
I'll try to save you, even though all things must end, must end.
Even though all things must end,
Even though all things must end....

Don't you see the way your hand fits so perfectly with mine
We were made to stand together by some great unknown design
For now and all of time
You will be mine...

If love comes your way, don't be afraid. Unlock the box your heart's encased. Hope it won't change and beware of the games that she'll want to start playing. Oh lately babe I stay awake thinking this life gets lonely. Well maybe I'm just scared, scared to let you go. I want you to know, right from hello, your love just kept me wondering. Well maybe I'm just tired, tired of never knowing. I know i'm not good enough for you. If I can be saved, show me the way. Help me help myself baby. Don't be confused, our love is true. Just tell by the way I'm looking at you...

if you think about it there is so much more that matters cause we are so much more than habit forming actions before this ends i'll burn up everything i've hated and start a fire that you can't put out no you won't put it out call me a liar cause that's all i wanna hear and i can tell just when my charm is loosing ground we're giving up i'm counting down the days that i count off it stings at first off something terrible as it sinks into your skin call me a liar cause that's all i wanna hear if you don't miss it then your better off without it if there's no trust then i'm calling it quits burn up everything i hated, everything you love i will take what you owe so sing it louder.....

-Let go of the thing's we keep locked up inside and we will find Freedom within ourselves...

-Taking risks is the only way to make our Dreams come true... Bad dreams are only dreams...

-Sometimes love feels like you've been run over by a tank...

-Beauty can be found anywhere. As long as we are willing to look for it....

-Not everything is what it appears to be, pretty things can be poisonous and deadly too...

-No one has the right to manipulate us. Cut loose! We should all run with scissors....

-We're all searching for the right combination....

-Sending shockwaves of peace and kicking back the bombs....

-Time is running out... Wake up!

-Beware of the Big Bad Wolf!!!

-Even when things look gloomy... There is always a spark of hope....

-We all walk our own paths, but we can tell a lot from a person's sole.....

-Don't forget...There are more pawns than any other pieces....

Now I think that some of you will be able to relate with some of the things I have shared with you. Or then maybe some of you haven't but the main thing is to understand what these meanings mean.

And there's three, count 'em three
Children playing on the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach

There's Veronica
She's biting her lip
As she watches the waves turn white at the tip
And there's Vada
Radiating with joy
And luckily she still can't stand the sight of a boy
And lastly there's Dade
His hair dances in the wind
And he's wondering what love is
And why it has to end

And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly...
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now

And there's three, count 'em three
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach

There's Veronica
She's licking her lips
As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss
And there's Vada
Can't admit her jealousy
Of her sister Veronica, and how she's so pretty (and how she's so pretty)
Lastly there's Dade
Still sitting on the dock
Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks
And he wonders when his father will return
But he's not coming back

And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly...
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget everything that you have heard (forget everything)

And there's three, count 'em three
Children missing from the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach

But the sad thing
Is that they never lived passed the age of fifteen
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by her ex-lover, their father
She didn't even notice, or pay much attention
As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean
Now all her advice, it seems useless

No, heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love's completely real, so forget anything that you've heard
And live for the moment now....

Time will have to wait to hopefully save what's at stake,
and it's beautiful, but only on the outside.
Dance the silent dance; I can't believe I have this chance,
Its so beautiful; another Self-Destructive Romance.

I believe that we are the sum of time and energy and pure starlight
And this energy which made the world is the same of mankind.
Theres no separation save what separates your mind
And I hope well see this truth as one before the end of our time.
It could change everything.

...more than what I am now, more than love found, more than life lost, more than those who hurt me most, more than my dreams, more than comfortable, more than my hypocrisy, more than my addictions, more than the darkest secrets that are slowly drowning me, more than our struggle, more than always running away, more than the fear that keeps me from leaving, more than religion, more than the religious, more than loneliness, more than my defeat, more than the way my heart pounds when she is near, more than the changing seasons, more than their admiration, more than respect, more than their disapproval, more than what I've worked for, more than what I have found, more than the emptiness, more than guilt, more than each other, more than her smile, more than the shame that never lets go, more than being haunted by my wrongs, more than the new, more than I know, more than goodbye, more than the promises that he'd change, more than our futile efforts to forgive, more than all the tears shed, more than the love that always seems to fade, more than our frailty, more than disease, more than visiting hours, more than her last words, more than they ever thought i could be, more than the love i gave away too quickly, more than the love i held onto for far too long, more than the lies i believed, more than the fields of saigon, more than the machetes of kigali, more than the towers of manhattan, more than the cages of auschwitz, more than our innocence, more than the glimpses of beauty that call us home, more than all the ways we love and hope and bleed and hate and strive...

In the middle of a summer, a lifetime before now, I spent a couple of weeks alone in New York City its the only place Id ever been where anyone could be completely invisible; rich or poor, anonymous, famous Everyones invisible. I was wandering around and getting lost on the trains in the middle of the night. I was broke enough to hate how much more expensive an awful bottle of merlot is on the East Coast than it is back home in Northern California. It was night after night and day after day of chain-smoking and lonely hangovers - too much TV News, eating away at my optimism... I was listening to Bright Eyes and Death Cab albums on repeat, practically wearing holes in my shoes walking up and down the length of that crazy island. Manhattan is about thirteen miles north to south and about two and half miles east to west, roughly thirty-two and a half square miles. Thats nine hundred and six million, forty-eight thousand square feet and I felt like I had stepped all over each and every one of them

Most days I walked from when I woke up in the afternoon until I found my way back to my hotel in the early morning. I always had my headphones blaring my own soundtrack for the taxicabs and crowded sidewalk scenes. All of Central Park danced in perfect time to my playlist. A few times I found myself singing in the dank subway dungeons but not performing Not then I was just mumbling under my breath, counting syllables on my fingers and humming in my head along with instrumental ideas the band had recorded for me to write to before I left home. They say the best way to go unnoticed in a crowd is to look everyone in the eye as you pass them by; The first thing people do when confronted with a strangers glance is look away. Whereas, if you dont see them watching you, if they have time to study you, thats exactly what theyll do Well I tried that trick a lot - so nobody saw me. Nobody saw my eyes tired and stinging, cradled in nests of thick puffy bags of skin. I was using up all the ink in my pens and filling up notebooks and mini-tapes with everything that crossed my mind - most of which was useless - but when you're documenting everything it's only natural that most of what you write would be garbage, junk you amass and collect only to sift through when the dust settles...
