Category : Music and Movies

I like this kid too much and I couldn’t miss the day he appeared as special guest on Ellen Degeneres’ show. He came, he sang, and he got some presents too. I told you, Josiah, I told you! I’m watching you, can you tell? Way to go, Ellen, for promoting the real thing! Video here. Enjoy!

I showed up at her door
no gifts or explanations for
the way that i’ve been acting
for the time just kept on passing
i tried to kiss her lips
she said lets put an end to this
a simple overreaction
it sent my head into a backspin
i dont know where to run
to run

she was a teenage girl
i made sure to promise her the world
spent money fast as lightning
anything just to keep her smiling
my voice was all she heard
sentences filled with empty words
i thought i was so clever
i never knew that our line would sever
i dont know where to run
ohhh ohhh
i dont know where to run
ohhh ohhh
i have nowhere to run

i wake up on the floor
my head replays that closing door
my heart wont stop rewinding
inside clocks all out of timing
she starts to disappear
there’ll be no turning back from here
when all is said and done
and i begin to run

Remember Josiah? Here’s another song of his, which I really really love. It’s called “Her” and it fits my mood perfectly. Enjoy!

Car door’s frozen
I can’t get to you
Your window’s open
The cold air’s pouring through
Your bones are broken
The belt won’t let you loose
And i’m left hoping
That you might wake up soon

I just stand and watch as they pull you from another world
Unraveling twisted plots, oh i wish you were another girl

And i’ll set the world on fire
Cause i could not satisfy her

Empty hallways
You can’t get to me
Open doorways
But you’re still searching for your keys
And i can’t open
The ears for which i sing
So i’ll just pass along
And baby you’ll start to hear me

You just sit and stare as if i’m from another land
In your comfortable chair, oh i wish i were another man

And i’ll set the world on fire
Cause i could not satisfy her

Satisfaction seems to be
The key that turns, the air we breathe
It brings us now so confidently crawling on our knees
So you try to satisfy the hours
But you’re ignorance won’t fight the fires
And your innocence can’t kill desire
So you’re not as perfect as you seem to be

You didn’t get to know her because you didn’t deserve to know her, you just thought you knew her, you just hoped that image was hers. She stopped loving you way back when she fell sick because of what you brought upon her. And everything else was supposed to be revenge. And it was. And you felt it. You thought she would be devastated when you left, but there was nothing left of you inside her heart. How can you hurt something if it is not there? She wasn’t there, you just thought she was. Empty, hollow, echo… Will you be happy? Yes, you will. Will it last? No, it won’t. Were you worth it? She thinks not. All of them will think not.
