"Bother"
by Corey Taylor
Wish I was too dead to cry
My self affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochist to which I cater

You don't need to bother 
I don't need to be 
I'll keep slipping farther 
But once I hold on 
I won't let go 'til it bleeds 

Wish I was too dead to care 
If indeed I cared at all 
Never had a voice to protest 
So you fed me shit to digest 

I wish I had a reason 
My flaws are open season 
For this I gave up trying 
One good turn deserves my dying 

You don't need to bother 
I don't need to be 
I'll keep slipping farther 
But once I hold on 
I won't let go 'til it bleeds 

Wish I'd died instead of lived 
A zombie hides my face 
Shell forgotten with its memories 
Diaries left with cryptic entries 

And you don't need to bother 
I don't need to be 
(I dont need to be)
I'll keep slipping farther 
But once I hold on 
I won't let go 'til it bleeds 

You don't need to bother 
I don't need to be, yeah 
(I dont need to be)
I'll keep slipping farther 
But once I hold on 
(Once I hold on) 
I'll never live down my deceits

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"God is like that kid that always pissed you off.  You know, the kid that always got the best and coolest toys and then, all he did with them was smash 'em and tear 'em up."

"Goodnight, Sweet Girl" by Ghost of the Robot

Are we done for now?
Or is this for good?
Will there be something in time?
With us there should
Only girl for me is you
There can be no other one
If I didn't have faith
I would come undone
So much promise in your eyes
Seems that I can only see
It only makes me wonder
If you save it all for me

Maybe you do
Maybe you don't
Maybe you should
Probably won't...
Because there will be...

There will be other guys
Who will whisper in your ear
Say they'll take away your sadness
And your fears
They may be kind and true
They may be good for you
But they'll never care for you
More than I do

I'll be always there
There to the end
I can't do much
But be your one true friend
To the end
Through the end
Our lives to spend
With each other 'till the end
Of time...

Still see the promise in your eyes
And still wonder if it's for me
But I know it's still there
Even when you sleep

So I say
Goodnight sweet girl

Your coat and hat are gone
I really can't look at your little empty shelf
A ragged teddy bear
It feels like we never had a chance
Don't look me in the eye

We lay in each others arms
But the room is just an empty space
I guess we lived it out
Something in the air
We smiled too fast
then can't think of a thing to say

Lived with the best times
Left with the worst
I've danced with you too long
Nothing left to say

Let's take what we can
I know you hold your head up high
We've raced for the last time
A place of no return

And there's something in the air
Something in my eye
I've danced with you too long
Something in the air
Something in my eye

Abracadoo - I lose you
We can't avoid the clash
The big mistake
Now we're gona pay and pay
The sentence of our lives
Can't believe I'm asking you to go

We used what we could
To get the things we want
But we lost each other on the way
I guess you know I never wanted
anyone more than you

Lived all our best times
Left with the worst
I've danced with you to long
Say what you will

But there's something in the air
Raced for the last time
Well I know you hold your head up high
There's nothing we have to say
There's nothing in my eyes
But there's something in the air
Something in my eye
I've danced with you too long
There's something I have to say
There's something in the air
Something in my eye
I've danced with you too long

There you have it.  One of my favorite break-up songs.  It's playing on my site, now.  Tell me, what did this song mean to you?  How do you identify with it (much like the thing I asked you to do with "Letter to Hermione")?

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe
In yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday
Came suddenly

Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I long
For yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe
In yesterday

Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I long
For yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe
In yesterday

That's my favorite Beatles song.  There's so much truth in it...
