Random Lines

I woke up today feeling very melancholy. While I was at work, a couple lines popped into my head. They are very sad and emo-esque, but some of the more creative things I think of are of that nature. Oh, well. Sue me.

The constant barrage of self-esteem crushing words have finally taken its toll.
I have spent years constructing my ego, it took you weeks to destroy my soul.
You tore down my walls to peer to my insides.
You took out my insides to get to my pride.
I used to be so tall
and this endless tag team has diminished my will.
I feel so small when you are around.
In your inifinite wisdom, don't you recognize this sound?

What will it take for you to surrender?

Anger and Acrimony

This song was written right around the same time as "In a Perfect World." It has the air of earlier AFI (as opposed to IAPW being from the more "Sing the Sorrow" era). The anger and verocity of the lyrics. I was drinking straight gin then because I thought I was cool and had real problems, but this song was mainly about the fact that to make a move on a girl, I had to get drunk with her first. Psh, High School, what a crazy innocent time?!

One of my favorite lines in this song was "This war is waged over useless land." I couldn't win her heart and frankly, I didn't know if I wanted it or if it was all just 'useless'. Enjoy.

Anger and Acrimony

Consuming as my belligerent self takes over.
Assumptions of placidness
Militancy runs through these porrous veins
Quarrelsome, I reach for the burning desire
Out.

Aggressivly, I’m shut down.
Burst to life as to your surprised, blind self
This war is waged over useless land.
Land that will never be walked on again
Dead.

We are the calmless one.
Come and be shown the heavenly purgatory
We are the calmless one.
Ride down the rage to us.

They hear the tranquil building, as we are swept away.
Forming to a new molding, a new type of day.
