Tired

I came up with a story idea, inspired by Final Fantasy (just kind of in general - elements from all of them got to me). Let me know what you think, yeah? It's about this girl and a mercenary army (like SeeD, for those of you who know what I'm talking about) who suddenly stops being able to sleep, and starts having to take these... I dunno what you'd call them... genetic supplements that replicate the effects of REM sleep to a degree - enough to keep her alive, but not enough to stave off the side effects of, you know... not sleeping. She'll hallucinate and stuff and have slow reaction time and the theme will be what you see through her eyes and whether it's real, or a delusion created by her sleepless mind. I'm excited to get planning it - what do you all think?

I finished The Lovely Bones a couple days ago, and good God, was it ever impressive. There are a lot of opposing views on it, from what I've heard, but you can firmly plant me in the "THIS BOOK IS AWESOME" camp.

I've finished the lyrics for Burning Bridges, Au Revoir (the song I wrote about our directing class) and A Flawed Design, and started a song called Twenty-Twenty Hindsight. I'll post the lyrics in a separate post, as usual.

My back crunches. It really can't be healthy. I lean forward or shift my arm and shoulder forward, and it crunches so loud that other people can hear it; it rocks my body enough that it feels like I'm tearing my right shoulder blade right off. It doesn't hurt, but I can definitely feel it... I feel like I should maybe be worried about that. Again, let me know what you good folks reckon about it - I dunno what to do, yet.

I think I could live in my room, if I moved a fridge in here. I mean, it's only two rooms, but those would serve as bedroom/kitchen/living room/dining room/etc. and bathroom - I really don't see why you get people complaining about small quarters. I think it's due to the fact that they grew up in a way that they got used to larger spaces, but that still doesn't fill all the plot holes, because I grew up in average sized houses, too, and I almost prefer smaller spaces.

I've never understood the fascination with houses, while I'm on that - what's wrong with apartments? What's wrong with renting? I really like my apartment, and don't see the problem with sharing a building, really. Bah, whatever, I don't think I'll ever understand.

Sleep well.

Lyrics! How exciting!

I reckon I'll start off with some of my newest stuff, because I'm into it more than my old stuff, right now. It is, for the most part, unfinished and still in progress, and I only have a rough idea for what I want to do with it, musically, but still, let me know what you think of it.

A Flawed Design
Took blueprints at face value
You didn't look to see
If the calculations were off at all
If there was something wrong with me

You thought the plans were sound
You didn't take the time
But now that you're looking into this
You won't like what you find

This is a structural weakness
This is a flawed design
This is a crack in the surface
It'll all fall down with time

All you saw was a strong foundation
But all is not as it seems
I've got my share of skeletons down in the basement
& they're ruining the support beams

Burning Bridges
Leave your things
Dust will settle
Memories
Are left to rust

This is my island
Floating alone
Thin rope bridges
To all that I've known

Severing ties
Burning bridges
I'm burning down buildings
Where nobody goes

Nameless sites
Abandoned cities
I'll burn down a world
That nobody knows

Digging My Own Grave
Shovel into the flesh of the earth
We make mistakes, but we don't learn
The hole gets deeper, I'm the first to return
& wait for our rebirth

Rainfall
You try to stop the forward motion
Cause I'm standing on the ledge
& I stare out at the ocean
As you push me off the edge

The crowds watch in horror as
I teeter on the brink
The guilt around my manacles
Ensures that I will sink

Drip, Drop, the rain falls
& so do I

Please don't try to save me from
The deep ocean's mighty teeth
I'm taking solace in
All of the jagged rocks beneath

The Violent Storm
Put my back to the wall
& see how tall
I've become
See what I'm capable of
What I've already done

If you give me no choice
I'll never play nice
Again
I'll do what I have to to win
I didn't make this begin

But the winds of change are blowing
& it's quite a violent storm
It's been tearing at me for a very long time
& I can't take it anymore

Anyways, comments would be very much appreciated. let me know what you think, yeah?
