The Great Depression

And so one morning just before dawn You came
Out of the forest towards my window
With a smile in Your hand
As the moist air up to Your knees started swirling like smoke
I saw Your lips move
Asking: "Did you lose something?"
I stood glued to the window

Emotions running through my vein
How I know a word I can’t explain

I think I’ve known You all along.
Just lost Your face in the crowd for awhile
I think I have been holding my breath all my life.
Can I exhale and go into exile?
Ask me now and I’ll run away with You.

And so with the dawn You’ve come
Eye to eye with nothing in between but this fragile glass
Your lips move again
I try but I can’t detect the vibrations in the air
How I’ve longed to inhale Your breath
It’s still early and I see your words getting caught
In the window slowly turning into frost

I see Your hand move and I can’t detain
Scraping down a word I can’t explain

I think I’ve known you all along.
Just lost Your face in the crowd for awhile
I think I have been holding my breath all my life.
Can I exhale and go into exile?
Ask me now and I’ll run away with You.

- Blindside, Ask Me Now

no time to gripe about school, but it's implied. wicked song. even wicked-er day. today started a bit iffy, with grey clouds looming overhead as soon as i woke, but remembering that the sun is bright and ever gleaming just beyond the clouds. and lo and behold, my grey skies were cleared for me later on. just hold out.

EDIT: more bloody spammage of lyrics. deal.

Look, listen to my voice
If you're making the choice.
Tell me, all the girls and the boys,
Either scream or rejoice.
Let's make that noise.
Either move or we will all be destroyed.

Move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do.
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it.

Can you hear me? Stop, look, listen to my voice,
It was never my choice to feel all alone.
This is my home.
Back up, you don't know if you've never been here,
You've never been to the place inside, I face my fears.
It takes everything I am.

If you come near me, stop, look, listen to my voice.
If you're making the choice tell all the girls and the boys,
Either scream or rejoice.
Let's make that noise.
Either move or we will all be destroyed.
Back up and let go if you've never been here,
You've never been to the place inside, I face my fears.
It takes everything I am.

I come crashing to the floor,
And I know there must be more like me.
I've seen this all before, I can't carry this anymore, break free.
Breathe, and leave until the storm is over.
'Cause underneath, there's a diamond passing over.
So breathe, let's leave until the storm is over,
Because I want to take you away.

- Thousand Foot Krutch, Move
