[PhoenixDeviance]

Fool;

"So the lights gone out
and everyone must hold hands
I'll go without
I never cared to understand
these silly games
your silly games"

Wonderful.

and genzoman;

"he was born with a target on his chest, or so he thought
counted the money the he dropped not the kisses that he cought
blamed it on the working mans blues and the rich had it right
but his wishes were riches, not kisses and he wished every night"

Fantastic.

This song is untitled for the moment

And all the while my brain was spinning circles in the bus lot of his heart
Empty spaces overrun by what he’d heard and what I thought I’d done
Before I even started out, my phone was ringing loudly now and leading to some shotty little quip
Like, “Why the hell’d it take you so long to let him break you?”
And I reply, “Would you even be calling had you not heard?”
Silence becomes her.

For miles and miles, I tore away until the past few days, they fell apart
An aftermath left comparable to what my parents had always said would come
And nearing on my home town, I’d forgotten what we’d said now upon breaking from this God forsaken place
My life lain in the crosshairs, I’d promised to await here should I return
“Don’t forget; I’ll always love you,” whispered softly,
Her hands hanging on me

But swinging there in silence, I could see it in her gloomy forward motion
A crassness and arrogance that what she has alone here is so pure
“Who’re you fooling honey, this place has never known me and you’re too far gone to notice; we don’t live here anymore.”

And line for line, I lifted all my blessings until they came back out in red
A troubadour of lonely words with inspiration tracing back behind him some 500 miles
The fact that I abhor this house has managed to escape me now as fallen senses pounding out again
The lost monotony overswept me, but her image never left: seeing all replies of tearing at her clothes until she’s bleeding, smile never receding

But holding there in silence, I could see it in her happy lifeless motion
A crassness and arrogance that what she has alone here is so pure
“Who’re you fooling honey, this place has never known me and you’re too far gone to notice; we don’t live here anymore.”

Never mind the empathy when it’s easier not to lie
