What's LJ without some lyrics being posted?

Tool - The Patient

A groan of tedium escapes me,
Startling the fearful.
Is this a test? It has to be,
Otherwise I can't go on.
Draining patience, drain vitality.
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old.

But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here.

Wait it out,
Gonna wait it out,
Be patient (wait it out).

If there were no rewards to reap,
No loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
Gonna wait it out.

If there were no desire to heal
The damaged and broken met along
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away by now.

And I still may ... (sigh) ... I still may.

Be patient.
I must keep reminding myself of this.

And if there were no rewards to reap,
No loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
And I still may.

Gonna wait it out.

Nine Inch Nails - We're In This Together

i've become
impossible
holding on to when
when everything seemed to matter more
the two of us (all used)
all used and beaten up
watching fate
as it flows
down the path
we have chose

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow

you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

awake to the sound
as they peel apart the skin
they pick and they pull
trying to get their fingers in

well they've got to kill what we found
well they've got to hate what they fear
well they've got to make it go away
well they've got to make it disappear

the farther i fall i'm beside you
as lost as i get i will find you
the deeper the wound i'm inside you
for ever and ever i am a part of

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow

you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

all that we were is gone we have to hold
all that we were is gone we have to hold
when all our hope is gone we have to hold
all that we were is gone but we can hold on

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow

you and me
even after everything
you're the queen and i'm the king
nothing else means anything

So we're playing lyric tag now, huh? *grin*
You do realize my words of song were me being semi-non-pessimistic (for once), right?

I've always thought of that New Radicals song as the cry of young pseudo-anarchists. Why must we smash people's BMWs? and I don't wanna kick Beck's ass! I like some of his music. *grin* But the chorus? Totally holds true.

But that guy wore the most horrendous hat in his video. I was all "The message is okay; the messenger needs to enter one of those stores in the mall and pick up some new gear."

Okay, I'm going to pretend to study now.

Surprisingly, I caught that. I was just offering some positive (hopefully) reinforcement in kind. You made me smiley!

On a side note, I just posted on the Merrimack in an attempt to peirce the silence. I'm pleased with how it came out; and as always in that situation, I ask you to tender your opinion.

Finally, I'll be on AIM tonight from 5-7;30 or so. I'll tell you about my day off in which I feel like I worked more than a day at work. Yeesh.

Dzang, the Merrimack's still making its way through the final frontier???

They're all counselor-less. Like they even noticed. Too many neuroses on board to count.

Think I should post something too? (I'll read your post when I get back in - sorry about the delay)

No one really noticed, because no one is posting. But feel free to post! (Since nothing's going on, I just made up some backstory for my guy.)

And no worries, read when you can.
