Audience of One

I simply love every word, every phrase, and every verse in this song.

I can still remember
The words and what they meant
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement
The days blurred into each other
Though everything seemed clear
We cruised along at half speed 
But then we shifted gears 

We ran like vampires from a thousand burning sons
But even then we should have stayed
But we ran away
Now all my friends gone
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway 
But what are we running from ?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone ? 

Identities assume us 
As nine and five add up
Synchronizing watches 
To the seconds that we lost
I looked up and saw you
I know that you saw me
We froze but for a moment
In empathy 

I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
You gave my emptiness away 

But you ranaway
Now all my friends gone
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway 
But what are we running from ?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone ? 

We’re all ok, until the day we’re not
The surface shines, while the inside rots
We raced the sunset and we almost won
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on 

We ran away
Now all my friends gone
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway 
But what are we running from ?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone ? 

"I Find it Kind Of Funny, I Find it Kind Of Sad" (That I am in emotional turmoil b/c of one little show about an island....)

How could you do this

i loved you so much

so cute so sweet

i thought you loved her

and what kind of sick and twisted mind would do that

there were easier ways ya know

I hate you

i used to love you

what is wrong with you?

i can't believe you

did you really think it would work out?

Did you think she would fall for that,

and forget what you have done?

Did you think that she would love you?

What did you expect?

Hah, well I'm sure you didn't expect that.

But you know what?

Even though I almost feel bad for you,

you totally deserved that

i mean,

YOU HACKING KILLED HER DAD AND YOU WERE IN COHORTS WITH THE GUY WHO KILLED YOUR MOM

BOTH OF YOUR MOM

that brings me to another topic

dude,

she's your half sister

WHAT HAS GONE WRONG

gah i'm so mad at you

so mad

so sick

so twisted

and yet,

i thought you were more

i loved you

Confrontation With A Cow

I'm jogging, and I'm very tired.

But I keep on going.

I need to do this,

Come on girl.

I start up my ipod.

Second Chance comes on

and my feet are running along

somewhat to the beat

"thump, thump, thump"

and the rain starts coming

down

down

not too heard though

I'm running past southview, past adam's house, and past lovely houses.

I make it up the hill,

it's all down from here

down 

down

and I look to my left as I am running

At the cows,

now trotting

jogging

at their dinner.

I smile.

It's so pretty right here,

and I look at one particular cow

coming closer

and closer

and it stops.

She stands there

staring at me

only a few feet away.

I stop too.

Just looking at her big, brown, beautiful eyes.

A couple seconds and a couple of cars pass

probably wondering what I'm going

Soon I start jogging back,

as does the cow for her meal is waiting.

It was like one of those moments in the movies

where the boy notices the girl

and the girl stares back

confrontation

with true love

except my confrontation

was with a cow
