The Ready Set- Logistics

Every song is the same thing,
The authors of text books spelled this out in diamonds.
I'm aware of attraction, and everyone's dancing,
A different take on the old way.
So if you're in then you're in,
Feel it like a train wreck,
Come on take a step back.
I promise nothing's holding you out.
Dive deep into city scenes,
All of your friends and you are celebrities.
You shot monotony saying "oh we won't fake, no we won't break down",
But you called me out where the nights come cheap and the party is free.
You make it fact that there's nothing that you won't try once.
I've got a secret hidden right behind my ego and it grows
And it grows but your vanity won't set you free.
Ten million colors but you say that there's not enough.
Look up, are you listening? hands up, are you watching me intently?
Do what I want, do what I say, look the same, act the same way.
Keep it moving slow. could you fall in love tonight, if I asked you to real nice?
Once or twice, three times if I say it just like...
If you're a limo I will be your paparazzi,
If you're a diamond I will be your pop cliche,
If you're a love note I will be your yellow song bird
But poetry is past-tense tension played out yesterday instead we say...
When everyone else is alive, we are the kids that condescend
And draw out boundary lines, so I'll make an anthem tonight.
Together we can cut these chains and free up all the airwaves again.
Do what you want, do what you like to, live your life.
We are eagles in the sky, take flight.

goodnesss!

Like everyday this week all I've been listening to is Meg and Dia, its crazy! I like haven't even began to get sick of them either. I love their music. I like how they sing about different random things, like they don't have song that are alike. I like it. Haha! But really they are amazing and I love, love, love their music.
That was kind of just a random thought I just had. (:

Lights- Pretend


Once in a while i act like a child to feel like a kid again
It gets like a prison in the body i'm living in
Cause everone's watching and quick to start talking, i'm losing my innocence
Wish i were a little girl without the weight of the world

It would be nice to start over again
Before we were men
I'd give, i'd bend, let's play pretend

Remember the times we had soda for wine,
and we got by on gratitude
The worst they could do to you was check your attitude
Yeah when fights were for fun, we had water in guns,
and a place we could call our own
How we lost hold of home i guess i'll never know

And when it's the end,
Our lives will make sense
We'll love, we'll bend, let's play pretend

My sister had this on her blog I thought it went really well with this song... I don't know if she wrote it or found it... but I like it.

Who doesn't wish we could go back to childhood, when days that lasted as many as twenty do now? Before fear, money, economics, lusts, and peers controlled our every motive, and thought. We never thought some of our closest friends would get pregnant, drink alcohol, or do drugs. When we thought we'd be best friends forever, and have nothing come between us. When drama was not being able to have slumber parties, or not getting invited to birthdays. Now it's losing virginity, sex, who has the coolest car, and who has the most attractive boyfriend. Unfortunately, childhood was a promise never kept. Now that we've all grown up, the colors that once painted our world, that lifted our hopes, that made darkness colorful is now gone. It seems as if growing up is a never ending plague, and the older we get the worse it seems. I wish I would have known then what I do now, and would have taken my time to enjoy my innocent days, and take my time to grow up.

Lights- Perfect

Maybe I don't say all the right things
Maybe I stumble on my words
Maybe I laugh at all the wrong times
Maybe I mumble and I curse
The last thing I want is to let you down
Cause all that I want is to make you proud

I can't explain just why I'm acting this way
I can't control it, so I go with it
I'm just a girl, I won't be changing the world
And boy you know that, I'm not perfect
But I'm perfect for you

I know I dont make all the best moves
And I know sometimes I get weak
But I know I've got nothing to lose
Maybe that's what you love about me

The best I can do, is to be myself
And hope it's enough to make you proud

When your in the room, my head is clear
You make the world just disappear
So open up your eyes and see

Masterpiece- Meg and Dia

I am no masterpiece where innocence is painted green.
Isn't it strange to think that you created all of me?

Done by the hands of a broken artist.
You painted black where my naked heart is.
I finally know what wrong is.
Now I finally know what wrong is.
Carved like a stone with your hands still shaking.
On display through a soul still breaking.
Aren't you proud you're the one that made me?

You can't erase these.
Lines you can't save me.
You can't display me.
You know what dismay means.
I can't even try to.
Remember what I knew.
Before I became your.
Model to claim no.
I am no masterpiece where innocence is painted green.
Isn't it strange to think how you created all of me?

I grew tired.
You expired.
You finished me.
Now that I'm all that you planned.
What do you think?

Done by the hands of a broken artist.
You painted black where my naked heart is.
I finally know what wrong is.
Now I finally know that you bleed for nothing.
Carved like a stone with your hands still shaking.
On display through a soul still breaking.
Aren't you proud you're the one that made me?

The Postal Service- Such Great Heights

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
And that frankly will not fly. You will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home

Too Beautiful- He Is We

What kinda' man lays
his hands on the woman he loves
calls her "Angel"
and shows no remorse,
and the blood,
he covers her body in bruises and scars
you don't understand just how beautiful
you are

you are too beautiful
your heart, I want something more
Those shades of blue
on that face of yours
Hide the smile that beats in your chest

when he's done with her beating
He just stands a side
Wipes the sweat from his brow
and yells over her cries


She stands in the mirror,
She looks less alive.
She lifts up her shirt
to see she has five
Branded fingers on her side.
She's feeling it all now
But she doesn't cry
She doesn't cry

I don't know why...

But I really like my sisters blog... I think I
look up to it... and kind of wish that mine is
as cool as her's. Haha
Please.... check it out.

Cady Groves

Funny story... at first when I heard Cady Groves, I hated her. I just thought, 'what the heck?' but now... I love listening to her... she has a really good song that just came out, One In The Same, which is on her new EP- Life Of a Pirate. She has a really good voice and has actually done duets with, Plugin Stereo, The Ready Set and Never Shout Never. Those songs are... Oh Darling and Blizzard Of '89 which ft. Christofer Drew of Never Shout Never.
Check her out!

Monster.

His little whispers.
Love Me. Love Me.
That's all I ask for.
Love Me. Love Me.
He battered his tiny fists to feel something.
Wondered what it's like to touch and feel something.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here.Looking through the window...
That Night He Caged Her.Bruised And Broke Her.
He struggled closer.Then he stole her.
Violet wrists and then her ankles.
Silent Pain.
Then he slowly saw their nightmares were his dreams.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here.Looking through the windows.
I will.
Hear their voices.
I'm a glass child.I am Hannah's regrets.
Monster
How should I feel?
Turn the sheets down.
Murder ears with pillow lace.
There's bath tubs.Full of glow flies.
Bathe in kerosene.
Their words tattooed in his veins, yeah.

This song used to be a song that I would just listen to and not think anything of...
So tonight I looked up the lyrics, which is just what you read. I love these lyrics, they aren't like other lyrics. I guess that this song was inspired by the book, East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Good song. You should really listen to it.
Also... listen to this.

The AP Tour

The AP Tour was last night in Salt Lake, and I have to tell you it was a great start to my spring break. The bands who played were, The Summer Set, Every Avenue, The Cab, Hey Monday, and Never Shout Never. Even though we had to sorta wait in the snow and rain, it was still worth it. This concert reminded me of how much I love the music scene, and how much fun concerts are. If you love any of these bands and didn't go.. you really missed out. Haha!
