I'm About To Bust!
I can't tell what kind of life I've led today
I can relate when everything stays the same
The arms are crossed and the stills must all come down
And out of the thinking air, one of us doesn't care
You're selling what you own
Selling yourself short
Stop telling what you know
Suddenly you're so sure of the life that's breeeding in the dirt
You can get only what it is you want
Tell me what you have and that's when I'll know if you have anything to start with
Set the rocks on fire, it gives you lots of joy
I derive and I know you're gonna cheer up someday
I'd say that's better 'cause at least I know you tried
'Cause it's an experiment, experiment with me
I got this feelin' that I've been here before

I love the Pete Yorn album Music For The Morning After. I don't know if I relate to a lot of it, but if I were to do a soundtrack to my life, I'd DEFINITELY do in Pete's style. Amazing stuff. I'll give you some lyrical excerpts. It's about to get REEAAL emo up in this piece.
Black: "waiting for a bottle of truth. i'm just a lonely guy in my youth. and waiting for you is all i want to do. so if you couldn't stop, you're sitting all by yourself, you will never try to argue anyone, you will never stop and see what you're dong to me."
Lose You: "i'm taking a ride off to one side. it is a personal thing. where? where i can stand up in this cage i'm not regretting. i don't need a better thing, i'd settle for less. it's another thing for me. i'll just have to wander through this world. alone."
For Nancy: and when you said i could not stay with you. thats not the way you would have wanted it to be. convince yourself that everything is all right, coz it already is.
Murry: and we both know that people change, and truth's not part of their lives. still i've seen the love in their eyes. don't say goodbye. goodbye.
On Your Side: i'm outside your house. it's 2 am. it's dark. so many mistakes came back home from bars. i'm on your side, i just want to tell you off
EZ: "it was easy when you were younger, you could put it back together. it was there if you ever wanted it, but you closed the door, and said goodbye for good."
There's a saltwater film on the jar of your ashes
I threw them to sea but a gust blew them backwards
And this is the chance I never got
To make a move, but we just talk
With your hand on my shoulders
A meaningless movement
A moviescript ending
But don't you get me started now
Here's the kicker of this whole shebang
The look that you're giving me
It tells me exactly what you are thinking
I don't mind restrictions or if you're blacking out the friction
It's just an escape, it's overrated anyways
It varies from season to season kid
