This house I hate is not my home.
The rooms I roam are not my own.
The room which I lay in is not right
So I lay awake and I cry at night.
The walls are white, the floors are cold
I wish everything was peeled and old.
I want the walls to look lived in,
I want the floors to look caved in.
I want to live on the ground floor,
I want to have a closing door.
Every place is dismal and small
Nothing belongs to me at all.

I Went To Church This Morning
I went to church this morning
And I sat down in the pews.
I sat through all the hymns,
and I began to think of you.
I wondered what you'd think if you knew that I was here.
I wondered if I was supposed to feel that somehow, God was near.
I went to church this morning,
A yoga-loving Buddhist
Pastor Tony looked at me,
And I knew that he knew this.
I went to church this morning,
and I didn't take Communion.
Forgive me, but the blood of Christ
Is not what I dip my food in.
They played religious music,
then they went up and broke the bread.
I thought I'd be a hypocrite,
so I sat and stared instead.
They had a "crown of thorns".
It was sitting on the table.
They all believed in Jesus.
But me, I wasn't able.
I went to church this morning,
Around my neck, I wore no cross.
I wore a silver aum instead
To support my Eastern cause.
I went to church this morning,
And I listened to them sing.
I only thought of how false it was
And how it didn't mean a thing.
The prayers which they offered forth
Seemed to be falling on deaf ears.
But these people openly admitted
Their sickness, hopes and fears.
Starting their "Our Fathers",
The congregation truly believed
That God was going to help them
If they knelt down on their knees.
I went to church this morning,
And it solidified my belief
That church is not my favorite thing
And brings people no relief.
I went to church this morning,
And I don't believe in God.
I do not care that Jesus
Was nailed upon a cross.
I don't believe in heaven,
I don't think I'll go to hell.
I left the church as I entered
And all was good and well.
And I sat down in the pews.

and I began to think of you.

Since when is competition the root of all evil?
I'm no capitalist, but I don't think that absolute equality is the way to go.
You know what? You have stupid kids. They're born stupid.
We need stupid people and we need smart people. We do not need everybody inthe world to think that they're as good as the person beside them. Because while they have the same rights and opportunities, they do not have the mental capacity to embrace those opportunities.
There is no reason that people who are different should be "equalized".

There is no reason that people who are different should be "equalized".
I rarely find reason to write anymore.
It's not because I have nothing to write about, god, no.
It's because there are so many things in my head...
That it's really difficult to pull one out and elaborate on it.
Every thought is unoriginal.
I'm fairly sure I've thought all of them before.
This song is so good.
I wish I had the capacity to type out the lyrics.
[Why can't you come out and say it?]
I don't get what I'm doing here. Usually, I can pick my target, hover around it for a couple of days, then make it torturously apparent that I might be interested.
Then, it happens, and that's how it goes. I always get it pretty much all right.
I always make it obvious, but not so obvious that they think they might have a shot.
Right now, I feel stupid and like I'm either making it too obvious or not obvious at all. Or maybe they suspect, but don't care enough to engage.
The designer says I'm a fighter, but I can't feel my fucking legs.
Come out and say it.
Why can't you come out and say it?
Maybe this is a totally stupid idea. Maybe the stigma and the apathy is still there from eighth grade. Maybe it's still like that. Four years later, and we're still in the same place.
But we can't be. We've both grown enough to realize how stupid that is.
And you can only be SO similar to a person that you think is cool and good-looking without actually being interested, right?
The sound of dialogue, translated by a hack...
She still has time to surprise attack.
This year is bizzare. I feel like I'm floating around everything I do, and not actually engaging in it.
Right now I'm totally tuned out because of this song.
But I can't feel my fucking legs.
