you'll find my heart at my center of gravity; wrapped up in laughter, school work, and tragedy

it is a depressant, after all

Tonight, tonight I say goodbye
To everyone who loves me
Stick it to my enemies, tonight
Then I disappear
Bathe my path in shining light
Set the dials to thrill me
Every secret has its price
This one's set to kill
Too loose, too tight, too dark, too bright
A lie, the truth, which one should I use?
If the lie succeeds
Then you'll know what I mean
When I tell you I have secrets
To attend
Do you think I'm beautiful?
Or do you think I'm evil?
Will you take me for a ride?
The one that never ends
Too loose, too tight, too dark, too bright
A lie, the truth, which one shall I use?
If the lie succeeds
Then you'll know what I mean
When I tell you I have secrets
To attend
Tonight, tonight I say goodbye
To everything that thrills me
As I throw the chainsI forged in life
To shatter on the floor
As I dream all the evidence
Is piling up against me
As I breathe all the essence rare
Is falling off the vine
And if you knew, just how smooth
I could stop it on the dime
You could meet me at the scene of the crime

unfortunately, a band already put these words to music, and recorded them and everything, and somehow i even ended up with a copy. a friend told me that whenever i quote lyrics or an author, i need to credit them... i guess she was right. although i do enjoy the thought of some not knowing exactly what they're reading...
this happens to be "Crime Scene Part One" by the Afghan Whigs, which came on on my way home that night. so, now you know.
