rating oddly familiar [may 18 2006, 22:15]

i just noticed that there's an insane amount of reds and yellows around here. while this is nothing really new – i've always been writing in here when things sucked and not so much when things were good – it's still something i'd really like to work on. i'll try.
ah, tomorrow maybe. today is default procedures again, not getting crazy during school because egocentric teachers keep screwing things up, not getting crazy during the rest of the day because... well, just because of the din of the operating universe that's somehow passing me by. again.
it's like standing at the bus station and seeing buses arrive and leave, people enter and get out, chatting, talking, laughing, carrying bags or pushing prams, getting on, getting away.
weird.
on a somewhat unrelated note, i notice that walking with music is my drug now, the thing that keeps me going. i can hardly seem to find the time and patience to sit down and listen to a good album (just as stadium arcadium is promising to be, at least in parts) and so i've got to find alternatives, little windows when i can't help but have time.
that's why i walk, people. it's not because i'm afraid to drive, not because, well, i don't know what you think why i don't drive. i don't because i absolutely love walking or – to some people's amazement – even take the bus. i can't help the speed, i can't get there any faster, i just have to take the way i want to take and wait until i'm there. and while i'm on the way...

ah, blurb. haven't had lyrics in here for a while. about time.
i'm the addict on the corner
i'm the lawyer in the tower
i'm the body with the coroner
no, the leader with all the power

you're the pillow with the cool side
the sand during high tide
the cocktail poolside
the water when clouds collide

from the inside out, we were formed
from the inside out, we will fall
soon this all will come to an end

i'm a local but a foreigner
still the addict, yet i'm sober
still the body with the coroner
many friends, yet still a loner

you're the pillow with the cool side
the sand during high tide
the cocktail poolside
the water when clouds collide

from the inside out, we were formed
from the inside out, we will fall
soon this all will come to an end
soon this all will come to an end

from the inside out, we were formed
from the inside out, we will fall
soon this all will come to an end
soon this all will come to an end
too depressive, you say? ah, screw that. and i'd be really surprised if you didn't hear that song somewhere else soon (for a valid range of 'soon'). really surprised.
