Keep the Sun

We did away with the old ones
Tried our best to find some warmth in the cold months
On our chest we put the thought that if we wanted
We could keep until we're old and the youth's gone
And I'd drawn
Upon the time that i spent here
A lot has happened overall in the two years
And I think that if we're trying to be clear
There might be something that I won't get to keep here


Say what you will, cause I don't care
This is the very last time I can see myself here
I won't be sitting and thinking what I have been missing no,
I'd rather keep the sun than meet you there
Say what you will, I think i'm past
All the trouble we caused the year before last
I simply know that it's over and we're getting older, oh
I think we all should have to learn from that


We found ourselves living re-runs
Tried our best to tell ourselves it was still fun
On my mind there was the thought it was over
Here and lost and now we're grown and the youth's gone
And I thought
Was I alone in my thinking
I'm bored but i Know you still love all the same things
I'm only waiting for the last ones to catch up
And I bet you'll waste another night drinking

I have not posted in so long...

That the site didn't even remember my password. Neither did I, so I had to run through three emails to get it. Duh, me.

Anyway, big stuff has been happening. We had our first brush with a major label, and they wouldn't meet our terms - I feel that we're better off (not everybody does though). My studio project is taking off, and I have a few guys that frequent the place to record powerpop and assorted tunes. One such client decided to fuck me over, and I have a court date coming up for that. I have yet another song done for the cd, called "Let You Go", and no, it's not going out to anybody so don't ask <3.

We played Stillwater on friday. There's a few people in my life (not that I want them there) who still refuse to grow up, but there's really nothing anyone can do about it. I was the bigger person, and kept my own ass out of the mud-slinging, and am better off for it.

The Supersecret EP is finally coming out, and I can't wait to take it back down and replace it with our new shiny amazing songs. It's killing me because the EP isn't even technically released yet.

I'm writing miles of shit; maybe I'll just try to pick up again tomorrow.

And oh yeah, my birthday is on Thursday. I've been so wrapped up in shit that I totally forgot about it. We celebrated a bit yesterday, and my mom made a cake shaped like an easter bunny. It was awesome.

I fucking love everything except school right now. I'll survive the semester, but I'd so much rather just make music all the time.

Happy bday to me, 20 years old.

What's Right

I'm writing in this thing for the first time in like two months - the last time it was just lyrics, and I'll throw some for the newest song at the bottom of this.
I'm panicked by the shit going on around me and the things I love.
We're talking to people who could shape the future of the band and my future. It's not a situation to be taken lightly either. I'm absolutely petrified that I'll do the wrong thing, but there's no possible way for me to know.
I'm about to hit a point where I have to take a huge leap of faith either in myself or the people we're going to be relying on, and depending on how either pans out, the decision WILL make or break the band one way or the other. It's like a 50-50 if I do nothing, and a 50-50 if we all act. This is as important as things get for me, and I'm brick-walled.

I put your name on my chest,
You put your words in my head.
Do I know if what I'm doing's right?

Oh, I hope I know what's right
Cause we may only have one night
To take all these chances,
Have my questions answered,
Do I know if what I'm doing is right?
