Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I found the cure to growing older
And you’re the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you’ll never know
And some secrets weren’t meant to be told
But I found the cure to growing older
(Source: mvipod)
We’re the kids who feel like dead ends
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn’t even come close
At trust and love and hope
And the poets are just kids who didn’t make it
And never had it at all
And the record won’t stop skipping
And the lies just won’t stop slipping
And besides my reputation’s on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
I confess,
I messed up,
Dropping “I’m sorry’s” like you’re still around.
And I know,
You dressed up,
“Hey kid you’ll never live this down.”
And you’re just the girl all the boys want to dance with,
And I’m just the boy who’s had too many chances.
I’m sleeping on your folk’s porch again,
Dreaming,
She said,
She said,
She said,
“Why don’t you just drop dead?”
I don’t blame you,
For being you,
But you can’t blame me,
For hating it.
So say what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her.
I set my clocks early ‘cause I know I’m always late.
My words are my faith to hell with our good name.
A remix of your guts-your insides X-rayed
And one day we’ll get nostalgic for disaster
we’re a bull, your ears are just a china shop
I love you in the same way, there’s a chapel in a hospital
One foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door
Sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills.
I could write it better than you ever felt it.
One more shout out to a few of the albums that got me into music
Still absolutely love all of them.

Bury me standing under your window with the cinder block in hand,
Yeah cause no one will ever feel like this again.
And if I could move I’m sure it would only be to crawl back to you.
I must have dragged my guts a block… they were gone by the time we {talked}…
Whoa, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
But, you know that I could crush you with my voice.
Whoa, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
But, you know that I could crush you with my voice.
Stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me,
Hide the details I don’t want to know a thing.
I hate the way you say my name like it’s something secret
My pen is the barrel of the gun.
Remind me which side you should be on
Stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me
Hide the details I don’t want to know a thing
I wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel.
Top 10 ‘throwback’ albums for me.

I came onto the music scene kind of late. My dad sheltered me from a lot of everything, and I didn’t really get to start exploring music until the end of eighth/start of ninth grade really. That’s when I found fuse, and got to actually watch it for a few hours a day while my dad was at work. And when they actually had non stop music coverage and stuff too.
I also could have picked any SOAD album. Me and my group of friends like, absolutely adored the shit out of them back in the day. And I still really do love them, but not as much as back then. Toxicity is just my go to for them I think because of the years I spent starting, and ending, my days with it. I pretty much played it so much that I’ve bought like 5 copies of it. Because yes, there was a time when we used CD players, and stuff, instead of mp3 players and torrents. Also, I’m sure that there are a few albums that I’m forgetting, but I’ve just forgotten some stuff throughout time/moving away and branching out into my own music, getting influenced by a different town, etc.

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies.
And all the lovers with no time for me.
And all of the mothers raise their babies
To stay away from me.
Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams
Where the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me,
too heavy for me.
Though I carried karats for everyone to see,
everyone to see..
