UNIVERSAL FEELING

Alone in my room. My father and his friends listening to music somewhere near. It seems that there are universal feelings. We all go through similar experiences and nightmares. We all cry and we all die and we all want or don't want to die. We think that this the end, and then something else happens. We promise never to smile again, and then we do. We think we'll be happy forever, and then we realize we never really were. We all need someone. At least I believe we all do. I know I do. We all dream or have dreamt or will dream. And sometimes time disappears and sometimes space disappears and sometimes we ourselves disappear. We talk and we walk and we breath no matter what. And even though we feel empty and cold, void of hope and warmth, like the sun will never know our name, like we'll fall lower and lower with every step, like we are not alive at all, like there is no one and nothing and everything is a lie, we still close our eyes and then open them. The heart still beats. Our skin is still soft, more pink than blue. Circles are still round. Squares are still not. And somewhere there is life... although maybe we aren't part of it.


"Come around" by Rhett Miller

I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart
I'm depressed upstairs and I'm remembering where
And when and how and why'd you have to go so far

Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around

I'm dressed all in white and I remember the night
You came on to me and opened up my heart
I was hollow then till you filled me in now I'm empty again
I should have never let it start

Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around

No one else can fix me although sometimes my heart tricks me
Into thinking someone else will do
But you're the only one you are the only one

Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around
So come around so come around

I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart
