Carpe Nocturnem
"To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else."
This night doesn't have to end and I wonder how long we will stand outside trying to decide what we'll do, and where we'll go tonight. And I'm feeling nothing but alright.
These days I'm screaming, "Seize the night." When we make up our own music to the songs we've always known. And we will fill out dormant aspirations and know we haven't even started yet.
And we'll burn these streets, and Ryan will say and I'll believe him, "We are the reason." These written words, bruised vocal chords mean that, "We are forever. "
We hold secret hopes. We'll hold this instant. Man I swear, I never want to see this end.
And we can change this world if only for this instant. This instant's all that counts tonight. We'll close this world down, and search for something else to do to feed these hearts, to make this ours.
And these bonds are blood, flowing through dark veins the color of night. Like brothers and sisters we'll attack this world.
Fighting Song
What if we decide instead to fuck logic and choose death. It's our insanity, you see. Its our fucked up, goddamned inability. And It's our downfall, If we can't get over our quarrels. I'm tired; I'm petrified. I'm wide awake, terrified, wide awake, I'm wired...What if we decide instead to fuck logic and choose death. It's our insanity, you see. Its our fucked up, goddamned inability. And It's our downfall, If we can't get over our quarrels. I'm tired; I'm petrified. I'm wide awake, terrified, wide awake, I'm wired...
I'm fucking tired of being unsure and I'm pacing on my bedroom floor. Trying to find the words, I'm feeling anxious. Trying to find the words, so goddamn anxious. I cut meter and hopeless lines. It's a fighting song, a real triumphant one. That I have yet to write; to get a good sleep tonight. If I can clear my mind, I'll sleep tonight.
I want so bad to write a victory. I want to be overwhelmed. What if I decide to fuck this fear and choose sleep and ignore insanity. Sleep naive. Those bombs drop so far away. I want so bad to write a victory.
I'm anxious, and I don't have the answers. I'm singing this loud in desperation. I'm restless and I don't have the answers. If I clear my mind I'll get a good sleep tonight. I'm tired, I'm restless, my voice is hoarse and useless. I'm searching for the answers, in history. The only answers I see in history, they scare the shit out of me. Should I run, what if I fall? I may never know, I'll never know if we're alone. So anxious. Should I run, what if I fall? I may never know if we're alone.
