Sing For Absolution - by Muse
Lips are turning blue A kiss that can't renew I only dream of you My beautiful Tiptoe to your room A starlight in the gloom I only dream of you And you never knew Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace There's no where left to hide In no one to confide The truth burns deep inside And will never die Lips are turning blue A kiss that can't renew I only dream of you My beautiful Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace Our wrongs remain unrectified And our souls won't be exhumed |

Yesterday, aound 4 am, a customer asked me "Why are you so awake?" immediately followed by "Why are you so alive?" That's one of the coolest things anyone has said to me. Current Music: Owen - Bad News |

Your Ex-lover Is Dead - by Stars
When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire... (Him) God that was strange to see you again Introduced by a friend of a friend Smiled and said "Yes, I think we've met before" In that instant it started to pour, Captured a taxi despite all the rain We drove in silence across Pont Champlain And all of that time you thought I was sad I was trying to remember your name... (Her) This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in Now you're outside me You see all the beauty Repent all your sin It's nothing but time and a face that you lose I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose I'll write you a postcard I'll send you the news From a house down the road from real love... Live through this, and you won't look back... Live through this, and you won't look back... There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave You were what I wanted I gave what I gave I'm not sorry I met you I'm not sorry it's over I'm not sorry there's nothing to say I'm not sorry there's nothing to save... I'm not sorry there's nothing to save... |

Let the Right One In
"Creepy, but sweet" is how my coworker described this Swedish vampire film I gave him to watch. The movie is good, and it's a horror, not an angsty teen romance. The book is 10 times better, though. I am getting friends and coworkers to watch the movie and read the book before Hollywood kills it with a US version. "Be me a little." |

Silent Shout - by the Knife
I never knew this could happen to me I know now fragility I know there's people who I haven't told I know of people who are getting old Wish I could speak in just one sweep What you are and what you mean to me Instead I mumble randomly You stand by and enlighten me In a dream I lost my teeth again Calling me woman and a half man Yes, in a dream all my teeth fell out A cracked smile and a silent shout A cracked smile and a silent shout If I explain it once thoroughly He'll have you later 'cause it's never free You were at the gigantic spree I caught a glimpse, now it haunts me I caught a glimpse, now it haunts me |

brothers on a hotel bed - by death cab for cutie
You may tire of me as our December sun is setting 'cause I'm not who I used to be No longer easy on the eyes but these wrinkles masterfully disguise The youthful boy below who turned your way and saw Something he was not looking for: both a beginning and an end But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize When he catches his reflection on accident On the back of a motor bike With your arms outstretched trying to take flight Leaving everything behind But even at our swiftest speed we couldn't break from the concrete In the city where we still reside. And I have learned that even landlocked lovers yearn for the sea like navy men 'Cause now we say goodnight from our own separate sides Like brothers on a hotel bed Like brothers on a hotel bed Like brothers on a hotel bed Like brothers on a hotel bed You may tire of me as our December sun is setting 'cause I'm not who I used to be |

the heart remains a child - by everything but the girl
i dreamed about you again last night you never have the same face twice but i always know it's you and you're always looking better than you really do and i walk around the whole next day feeling like i've still got something to say but i don't know what it is i don't know how to reach you even if i did do i wanna hear that you forgive me? do i wanna hear you're no good without me? am i big enough to hear that you never even think about me? why should you ever think about me? and i thought that i'd outgrow this kind of thing tell me, aren't we supposed to mature or something? i haven't found that yet, is this as grown-up as we ever get? maybe this is as good as it gets years may go by, i think the heart remains a child the mind may grow wise, but the heart just sulks and it whines and remains a child i think the heart remains a child why don't you love me? why don't you love me? |

Don't Take Your Love Away - by VAST
I'm looking for an inspiration And I think I found it in your heart It's the kind of thing you get when you're not looking It's the kind of thing you had from the start Put me on a ship that is sinking On a voyage to an untamed land Take away the freedoms I wanted I understand Please, don't take your love away from me Don't take your love away from me Please don't take your love away from me Please don't take your love from me Please don't take your love from me Put me inside flesh that is dying A ghost that wanders without rest Buried by desires and weakness I understand Please, don't take your love away from me Don't take your love away from me Please don't take your love from me Please don't take your love from me Hmmmmmm Hmmmmmm |

Brompton Oratory - by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Up those stone steps I climb Hail this joyful day's return Into its great shadowed vault I go Hail the Pentecostal morn The reading is from Luke 24 Where Christ returns to his loved ones I look at the stone apostles Think that it's alright for some And I wish that I was made of stone So that I would not have to see A beauty impossible to define A beauty impossible to believe A beauty impossible to endure The blood imparted in little sips The smell of you still on my hands As I bring the cup up to my lips And no God up in the sky No devil beneath the sea Could do the job that you did, baby Of bringing me to my knees Outside I sit on the stone steps With nothing much to do Forlorn and exhausted, baby By the absence of you. |

fluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
So, it wasn't a cold. It was the flu. I have been forced to take three days off from work, coughing the whole time. And I have infected one of my roomies. Played lots of WoW, grinding rep. Bored bored bored. Watched a little TV, and only read one book. All systems weakened. No appetite, no thirst, no desires at all. I hope I get out of this soon. Have to work tonight, regardless. Bleh. |

Arrgh. I got a cold last night. Lost In Translation helped a lot this morning, but I think sleep is needed. Now. |

I offered to buy some dark chocolate Lindt truffles for one of my female customers this morning. She seemed pretty down, and agreed. When I actually brought them up to the register, she demurred, and gave me a big hug. I hope she is happier now. Current Music: Sarah Mclachlan - Ice Cream |

I wonder how much I am influenced by other people while talking to them, and how much they are influenced by me. Who has the greater pull? I've been getting into some really interesting conversations at work with total strangers, ranging from religion to music to pretty much anything. It's awful how many people that I come into contact with are unhappy, and/or unassertive. I don't know whether to smack them or hug them. Current Music: James - Space |

grumble grumble
I almost never log onto Myspace, but today I did. And couldn't check my mail. And couldn't check my friend invites. And couldn't do anything. Bugger. |

Fine - by James
I'm a boomerang In the outback Keep your throwing arm steady So I get home I'm a vampire bat Out of Shanghai Haven't eaten for four days I've ordered in, Chinese takeaway I show more than I hide I care more than I cry I'm a phonograph baby My wires are live And I'm in crisscross Fine. Fine. I feel fine. Fine. I'm a fortune cookie Full of cheap advice I'm a suicide rookie Blowing last call I show more than I hide Care more than I can cry I'm a phonograph baby My wires are live And I'm in crisscross Fine. Fine. I feel fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. I feel fine. Fine. I feel fine. Fine. I feel fine. Fine. I feel fine. Fine. All you said. And all you heard. It's all played back, and I'm on last call. All you said. And all you heard. It's all played back, and I'm on last call. All you said. And all you heard. It's all played back, and I'm on last call. All you said. And all you heard. It's all played back, and I'm on last call. |

Shining - by James
I hold a vision that all visions are impure The rising of the serpent, the apple and the fall Don't trust the angels, may be devils in disguise Don't trust this preacher, all his words won't make him wise There are no promises that anyone can speak The future's full of secrets The past can never keep Yes I know, I'm falling down This incline is far too steep Tell me when I hit the ground You're too high for me to reach We can weather uncharted oceans Though the map reads lost at sea When we break through or get broken Will you stand here close to me Close to me You are the universe and God knows I'm the fool I've journeyed 'round the outer worlds to return home to you I've found a lover, knows me better than myself Sees through all my subtle lies and touches me to health We can weather uncharted oceans Though the map reads lost at sea When we break through or get broken Will you stand here close to me Close to me We can weather uncharted oceans Though the map reads lost at sea When we break through or get broken Will you stand here close to me Here comes the choices It's consume or be consumed Jump if you feel crazy And jump if you're no fool |
