Dearest Dulcinea when your heart’s already full,
where does that leave all the love I have?

I still see your face, you’re safe in my sleep again,
I’m starving for you, but you will never know.
I still see your face, you’re safe in my sleep again,
I’m starving for you, but you will never know.

I’d like to hope,
But I’m cut to the bone.
Let confirmation die and break this engagement.
Is it your fault?

I still see your face, you’re safe in my sleep again,
I’m starving for you, but you will never know.
I still see your face, you’re safe in my sleep again,
I’m starving for you, but you will never know.

To put it simply,
My heart is racing unobserved.
You’ll never know.

As your world keeps turning
As your world keeps turning

I can see you bathed in golden light,
The rays a final dawn.
Touching you in ways I never could, and you’re exalted.

It gets me so frustrated,
Everyone’s an expert.
I’m so sick of it
.
Makes me want to gouge a thousand eyes.
Ch-ch-ch-choke five hundred throats.
Feed them to the fishes,
Swimming in, swimming, in swimming in, my moat, oh.
While I sit in my castle, (perched all alone)
Disconnected
On a sullen throne
.

It never ends.
Never ends, never ends
.
Carry on the sin.
It never ends, it never ends
We can never rest.
It’s like,
Kissing cousins It’s like breaking bread
.

Sing it!
Born of detriment,
Come on sing it!
Born of all the ills that lead us in.

We’ll tear ourselves apart,
As if hope was gone.
When holy hounds come howlin’,
You could face them but it won’t be long.
Until you realize your,
Vileness fits like a glove.
So wear it proud, and we’ll just keep on,
Running,
Running,
Running,
Running

Hope’s gone,
Hope’s gone.
I keep running like hope’s gone.
Hope’s gone,
Hope’s gone.

I keep running like hope’s gone.
Hope’s gone.
Hope’s gone,
I keep running like hope’s gone.
Split in two so I just keep on,
Runnin’,
Runnin’,
Runnin’,
Runnin.’

Things that I do too much

Ignore my favorite bands for long periods of time, and then go on benders listening to one of them for months, while still ignoring the other bands without meaning to, and then hating myself for not listening to said ‘other bands’ more often, and continue to repeat the cycle over and over and over and over and over again.

Current phase is Anberlin.

Pick 10 artists that you love before reading the questions 1. Weezer...

Pick 10 artists that you love before reading the questions

4. Haste The Day
5. Senses Fail
6. The Killers
7. Coheed and Cambria
8. Anberlin
9. Closure In Moscow
10. Oh, Sleeper

What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
Somebody Told Me

What is your favorite song of 8?
Favorite Anberlin song? Impossible. Not the song. Just impossible to pick. They’re all fucking amazing. SKIPPING-

What kind of impact has 1 left on your life?
Such a huge one. The one where when I meet Emery, whenever they decide to tour Florida again, and I get to meet Toby (I’m gonna make that shit happen) I’m probably going to break down into tears explaining to him how much he saved me through my young years, how much I respect them for the music they’re doing now with things like I Never Got To See The West Coast, and the whole of WDWWW in general, because it helped me out AGAIN through all my most recent depression, and I know I wish I had a song like West Coast when I was going through my first huge depressed round of shit. Imagining doing it without them is an impossibility.

What are your favorite lyrics of 5?
I won’t forget the day that, that I came to
And I started thinking that there’s more
Than just perfect prom queens and silver spoons
And all I ever wanted was someone to
knock me back to the bliss of ignorance
‘Cause I feel like running head first into traffic.

How many times have you seen 4 live?
Zero :((((((((((((

What is your favourite song by 7?
Oh you know it’s A Favor House Atlantic. Best song ever. So many memories. So much throwback.

Is there any song by 3 that makes you sad?
The Conversation used to, but not many anymore. I can’t let their songs make me sad. If something affects my love with MCS to the point where I can’t listen to any and every single song then I would KILL. EVERYTHING.

What is your favourite song by 9?
Ughhhhh. I always love Reindeer Age in the mornings. I’ll go with that.

When did you first get into 2?
I wanna say it was back in ‘06. Fell in love with the self-titled.

How did you get into 3?
Watching Fuse one morning before school Everything Is Alright came on, my dad watched the music video with me, and I loved it. The sound and all of it, and then my dad explained to me the meaning (because he felt the need to try to drop wisdom bombs on me all the time to seem smarter or whatever haha) and I respected them still way more. 

What is your favourite song by 4?
Probably When Everything Falls. But it’s hard to just narrow it to that when everything I’ve ever heard from Haste has been nothing short of purely amazing. From start to finish. When Everything Falls just got my foot in the door with them, and I guess that I respect the shit out of that song for it. Especially the confidence it taught me to have in life with everything.

How many times have you seen 9 live?
Never -.- damn Aussies need to tour Amurika’!

What is a good memory concerning 10?
The time I picked up their bar tab, and then we took them out to iHop hahahaha. Greatest night EVER! Zac Mayfield hand fed me pancakes. Shane Blay openly just made fun of him for not being able to handle liquor every 2 seconds. We straight up talked medicine, religion, life, the navy, and everything with them for hours and hours and hours, and had the best fucking night ever. Probably the best 120ish bucks i’ve spent ever (grand total bar tab, two 20 dollar shirts, and ticket, and random drunk that followed us to iHop from the bar they played at that bailed on his tab that I picked up, for the whole night.)

Is there a song by 8 that makes you sad?
Inevitable will forever make a part of me sad. But I’m learning to just get past those things again. Who knows if that’ll ever happen, and that’s still a beautiful song, and I mostly just smile and scream along whenever it comes on, but it will always be one of those songs probably.

What is your favourite song by 1?
Allllllll of them. I cannot pick a favorite by them. They are my top 3 #1 spot bands, along with MCS and AOF, none of which do I have a single favorite for.
