    sparrow no more

    so realizing that even though i have been given the world,
    the world that i have been given is only within their boundries,
    because its okay by them
    and i'll never be completely free

    my heat is beeping


    i'm not sure why
    but i've always had a fascination
    with the war in Uganda and the child soldiers there
    ever since Fall Out Boy came out with the video for "Me and You"
    and Pete Wentz got really into it
    (i know its a very lame reason but hey, it's something)
    then my friend Alex gave me the Invisible Children movie, which i later passed on, and Jessica and I watched it
    I was captivated and just wanted to do something about it
    lately i've been thinking about how after college i want to join some kind of group and do humanities there against the war
    recently its just always in the back of my head
    i can't stop reading and thinking about it
    for the longest time i've been wanting to read something intelligent, other then teen love stories (hah)
    and could never find anything interesting
    but finally I'm interested

    [[i’ve always known i’ve wanted to do something greater with my life than just live it for myself, maybe this is what i’ve been looking for, and i’m just now realizing it]]

    edit: this ties in with not only me, but my connection with god and wanting to be something greater, and my music and how this organization has always been closely tied to it in that many musicians support this cause
    it's honestly one of my passions in life
    to go to Africa and see it and try to help it
    i've finally found some passion in my life besides music, and I'm really excited
    on april 25th i'll be doing an event with my friends
    i can't wait

    to finally be using my life for something other than just living
    and be something for someone else
    i know who matters will be proud when i do.

    hush.

    i
    sinned
    underneath
    religion
    and
    dreams
    in
    a
    place
    that
    was
    not
    my
    own
    and
    i
    wont
    call
    it
    home
    [[Nothing comes as easy as you.
    Can I lay in your bed all day?
    I'll be your best kept secret
    And your biggest mistake.]]
    [[Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness
    Cause all of our moves make up for the silence
    To the love, I left my conscience pressed
    Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
    "What did it ever do for me" I say

    And oh, the way your makeup stains my pillowcase
    Like I'll never be the same]]

    Fab Times.

    Can't Please Everyone
    Can't Please Anyone
    I'm in it for myself
    you better hold on
    to me now
    because baby,
    in just a short while,
    I'll be gone.
    I'm leaving you
    not my dreams
    dead end town
    dead end hearts
    This is it
    this is the part where
    i turn and run
    told you i'd break you
    and you know how i
    love to be right.
    Can't Win
    Can't Fight
    Can't Lose
    You.

    two

    maybe its just because i can't find my balance
    but all i want is you?
    forever and right now can be two very different things but
    they can also be the same
    when found in a person.
    for now, they are separate.
