Check, please.

Now I just need to edit those two puppies and print the bad boys out.

This would have been done sooner, but I had to monopolize Mark's time and his phone bill. :)

Late afternoon midwestern blues

The music is on
but I don't feel the cheese
as it oozes through the speakers
like coagulated emotion.
I've got
academic hangover
and I still have another class tonight,
two papers down
and I need to make a mask
that represents me
to complete this course.
But how can I make them understand
that I'm not like them,
that I don't hide
and this is LITTLE NAKED ME
and I am fucking ready for ANYTHING
but I'm not sure I'm ready for tomorrow.

I know I shouldn't let myself get angsty.

I know I own my feelings. I know this is a mistake. Yet, here it is.

And when I asked for a separate room
It was late at night
And we'd been driving since noon
But if I'd known
How that would sound to you
I would have stayed in your bed
For the rest of my life
Just to prove I was right
That it's harder to be friends than lovers
And you shouldn't try to mix the two
Cause if you do it and you're still unhappy
Then you know that the problem is you
And its true that I stole your lighter
And its also true that I lost the map
But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to
I had to take your word on that
But if you'd known
How that would sound to me
You would have taken it back
And boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Burned it up and thrown it away
You put in my hand a loaded gun
And then told me not to fire it
When you did the things you said were up to me
And then accused me of trying to fuck it up
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright
And the license said
You had to stick around until I was dead
But if you're tired of looking at my face
I guess I already am
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright
