dear xanga,

i'm sorry...i know i've been distant. it's just that...well...i've met someone new...it's called myspace, and it's much cooler than you. i'm sorry i know it hurts. you have always been there for me xanga, through thick and thin, you always listened...but the time has come...i just wanted to say goodbye...shhhhh, dont cry now. i really hope that we can still be friends. maybe if you dont care, i could come back every now and then...post a lil something ya know? *winkwinknudgenudge* i will always love you but i'm just not "in love" with you. i've found something more fulfilling. please understand. until then, dear, sweet xanga....

All Figured Out

I regret the time I've wasted
It's pounding through my head
But you'd never understand
What I wish I could've said
It's a shame we have to die
Still I look you in the eye
And back away

I never meant to stay here
I swear I tried to stop
But you hooked your claws into my skin
And you dragged me to the top
You pulled me to the edge
Tied your noose around my neck
And you pushed me off

I'm torn and cracked
And I'm never coming back

Perhaps some day
You'll find your way
You never had a doubt
You've got it all figured out
That's what you'll say
But you dont know
Where you should go
You've released all your doubts
You've got it all figured out
At least you hope

Now I'm frozen in this moment
And the air's perfectly still
We just can't stand face to face
And I guess we never will
You're so fucking jaded
But I've been liberated
And now you will be the one left standing here...

the show was amazing despite the fact that i was up in the thin air of the 2nd balcony.  she was in a good, chatty mood, and gracefully frolicked offstage a couple of times.  the show left me in good spirits, but the best part was afterward.  we decided to stick around the alley in the back for awhile.  it was cold and windy, but there was a group of maybe 12 of us...all just talking and wondering if this was even where she would come out.  after about 2 hours, the group withered down to just a few, and then we heard "oh my god!  here she comes!"  and sure enough, there came our wee little tori in all of her faerie splendor.  she didnt sign anything or really stop to talk, but i was literally within one foot of the greatest musician of her time.  she looked directly at me and said " i love you!  i have to go!" as they pulled her up onto her tour bus.  i didnt get an autograph or a hug, or even a picture, but i was satisfied.  it was a good experience for me...it rekindled my love for tori, i was feeling that we had drifted...but i have a new appreciation for The Beekeeper, and now i cant wait for her to come to MY town.

i am bursting from within
radiating, i am
with some sort of idea
but i cant seem to say it
i just cant seem to say it

im trying and im trying
to push this through my skin
but i just cant seem to play it
i cant seem to play it

my hand are stuck
and my voice is fucked
no songs are bubbling out of me
my skin is sealed tightly

and thats how i know

when touching lines
bring tears to my eyes
neither happy nor sad
just wistful for release

it will come

i am bursting
