in my head...

Damien Rice. Lonely Soldier.

Lonely Soldier go home,
Lonely, but never alone..
Good eyes, see nothing to shoot
Good feet, feel good, givin' up good boots

Ask your father how'd you fall
Ask your father how'd you fall
Like a leaf, sitting on the ground
Good for nothing, except kicking around..

She died with her hand stretched out
She died with a hungry mouth
She died with her mind full of doubt
and thought of weakening..
And so may your river never dry
May your mouth never lie
May you be satisfied to never know why
Sometimes, someone just wants to die...

Where did you get those cuts on your hand?
I thought I told you bout playin in the sand
There's always someone careless with glass
There's always questions no one won't ask

She died with her hand stretched out
She died with a hungry mouth
She died with her mind full of doubt
and thought of weakening..
May your river never dry
May your mouth never lie
May you be satisfied to never know why
Sometimes, someone just wants to die...

So Lonely Soldier go home,
Lonely, but never alone..
Good eyes, see nothing to shoot
Good feet, feel good, givin' up good boots

today...so far...

so today. I woke up at 6am. and stayed awake. this never happens. I usually work every night until 11.30, so I'm always sleeping late in the morning.

I don't remember what woke me up, maybe a dream. I think it was about vampires.

then I talked to Sam for a bit before he went to work. then I watched an episode of Life.
I meant to go outside, but I thought it would be too cold. so I didn't.
so I did random shit on my computer for a few hours...then I got bored. and decided to go back to bed.

so I fell asleep again. one time, Andy put his hands on my back, and I think I was dreaming again, because I thought they were Stephen's. hmmm. I don't know what this means.

and then I woke up at one. and took a shower. and now I am on my computer again. I have to work soon. so I think I might go be with Andy for a bit.

Damien Rice's "Lonely Soldier" has been stuck in my head today. listen to it.
