Digital Ash In A Digital Urn

They invented LOVE all right
But they still can't make the right
Plastic or metal or whatever to hold it all in
So it just keep leaking (insert water sounds)
All over everything (insert everything)
Dripping and splashing/making music
Gives me an ear infection

Now my equilibrium's fucked
So I'm holding onto the railing all the way down
And I'm asking for your shoulder on the way up
If you help me when I'm frightened I'll help you when you're drunk
Promise you know nothing and you're someone I can trust
Neverminding hot DEATH on our heels
But never forgetting it either.

What You Don't Know

First off: The Colbert Report is excellent background noise.
I never had much background noise in my life before Emilee. It takes a bit of getting used to, but that's okay with me at the moment.

Favorite song of the moment: "What You Don't Know" by Jonatha Brooke.
The theme song for Dollhouse is based off of this song.

What you don't know wont hurt you.
Maybe their lies are true.
Try and remember, try to forget those yesterdays beatings too.

I'm already going,
I'm already gone.
There's a stranger in my place.
You'll never find me,
But I'll get along,
Cause the angels know my face.

You'll never see me coming.
You'll never know my name.
Try to remember, try to forget,
But you'll never be the same.

I can do anything,
I can go anywhere,
I can be anything,
For anyone tonight
...Just let me sleep for a little while
...Just wanna sleep for a little while.





It's kind of pop-y. Her voice can be annoying/whining. But I really like the lyrics, and I really like this show.
And I'm really bummed that the second season is not available on instant netflix, like the first one is. Probably because it just came out. Haha. Or was cancelled. I don't know exactly.

New background noise: The West Wing, Season 3.

I think I'm gonna draw a little, tonight.

Gentle Rain




We both are lost & alone in the world
Walk with me, in the gentle rain
Don't be afraid,
I've a hand for your hand
and I will be your love for awhile

I feel your tears
as they fall on my cheek
They are warm, like the gentle rain

Come little one, you've got me in the world
and our love will be sweet, very sweet

Very sweet, very sad
Like the gentle rain,
like the gentle rain.




My favorite song of the moment is quite uncharacteristic.
Astrud Gilberto is "a Brazilian singer known for her samba and bossa nova music," says Wikipedia.
"Gentle Rain" can be found on her album "The Shadow of Your Smile," released in 1965.
These adjectives describing her nationality, music, and time period are unexpected in my taste.
But I like it.

Classy, yet sadly sassy?
