Its been an odd week. Can't find the right words to express how amazing Day of Silence was, it will come as a later post I promise. Its Friday, the last day of classes before finals, and for that I am very grateful, and I should come out of this semester with a 3.0 (keeping fingers crossed). Midnight rains spent on the balcony while the chill of rain runs through me. I am looking forward to summer, I acutally have a job I will enjoy. I am a lab assistant over the summer woohoo!! No more restaurants! At least for now anyways, just the other day I was thinking I should get a part time job in another restaurant just for the hell of it, I kinda miss the kitchen commrade. That is about it for now, hope finals and end of the semester stuff is going good for all of you guys.


I Don’t Know:
Cannot find the words to say I'm sorry
Don't know how to show you I was wrong

Wasted all that you had given to me

Now I'm left with nothing and no one

And I find it's my fault

I'm the only one to blame

For the tears and the pain

I don't know what I can say

Or would it matter anyway

'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me

For all that I have put you through

Is there anything that I can do

All my life has lead to this decision

To return and ask you this one thing

And if I had one chance or if a million

Would it ever be enough for me

To explain what I've done

Now I know that I was wrong

Will you hold me again

I don't know what I can say

Or would it matter anyway

'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me

For all that I have put you through

Is there anything that I can do

I would give my life to find your mercy

I don't know what I can say

Or would it matter anyway

~I Don’t Know, Third Day Album: Come Together

Knuckle Down

that's just my cowgirl alter-ego

riding on her bar room bull

dripping with the sweat of irony

as the cowboys whoop and drool

shooting glances at the mirror

to see if her scar is showing

she is truly going nowhere tonight

lecherous old lady wanna-be

much too young and shy

flailing her whole life

just thinking she can teach herself to fly

vehement romantic

frantic for forever right now

but forever's going nowhere tonight

sick of goading her self-loathing

she thinks, i think i'd better leave

'course whiskey makes me smarter

and i'm happy as can be

but please excuse me darlin

it's not you

it's me

and there's a dusty old dust storm on mars,

they say

so tonight you can't see it too clear

still i stood in line to look through their

telescope

looked like a distant ship light

as seen from a foggy pier

and i know that i was warned

still it was not what i hoped

yes i know that i was warned

still it was not what i hoped

i think i'm done gunnin to get closer

to some imagined bliss

i gotta knuckle down

and just be ok with this

i'm gonna knuckle down

just be ok with this

'course that star struck girl is already someone i miss

i swear some stuff you just see better from further away

and i think i communicate best now, the less i say

and i can't dance if the band can't play

and the vibe is going nowhere tonight

'cuz somewhere between Hollywood and its pretty happiness

and an anguish so infinite it's anybody's guess

is a place where people are all teachers

and this just one long class

and that ass will get you nowhere tonight

there's a dusty old dust storm on mars they say

so tonight you can't see it too clear

still i stood in line to look through their

telescope

looked like a distant ship light

as seen from a foggy pier

and i know that i was warned

still it was not what i hoped

yeah i know that i was warned

still it was not what i hoped

i think i'm done gunnin to get closer

to some imagined bliss

i gotta knuckle down

just be ok with this

gotta knuckle down

just be ok with this

'course that star struck girl

is already someone i miss
