Hopesfall - TheBending |

A Plague on both your houses
to set the moon and stars configured
to destruct at moments notice
wheres your sun in this pretty picture?
when did it set on that sullen face?
Two days was what I'm worth...?
This black hole breaths vengence
growing with each memory it strips
to show the stars it devours
your name dancing on its lips
wheres your sun in this pretty picture?
when did you watch it fall from grace?
Two days was what I'm worth...?
The blackened moon yet sets
on sunken eyes it used to claim
whose brilliant entirety
once could put the stars to shame
wheres your sun in this pretty picture?
when did you loose lights embrace?
Two days was all I was worth.
You made me what I am
and what I am, is you...

| Ill Never Trust Another Traitor |
[20 Nov 2003|02:55pm] |
You've stripped me of all photographs can not replace
and heart shaped notes can not retrace
I hope for now that victory smile fades quickly
youve only won your own defeat
I'll never trust another traitor
I'll never love whats not my own
I'll never trust another traitor
I'm glad to know I never showed
Does that moon still shine brightly?
With death dancing at its face?
Does that moon still shine brightly?
Between those sheets of sweat and grace?
I'll never trust another traitor
I'll never know what it is to hope
I'll never trust another traitor
I'm glad to know it was all a hoax
Does this make you feel strong?
Does this make you feel at all?
I hope for now that smile fades quickly
youve only won your own defeat
I'll see you in that place where light ends and night begins
perhaps in dreams, my arms will still hold you tightly...

for the first time in forever i cant find the words to say. Like theres so many they're just kinda brooding in my chest, looking for a release valve. Im incredibly hurt...thats pretty much my underlining feeling. I just hope that ten minutes was worth the year of (nearly) complete bliss we shared.
for the first time in a long time i didnt wake up to an instant message from you, and it killed me. and probably a phone call at 2:50. It would be so much easier to take it back, but sometimes the hard road is where we learn our lessons. i just hope yours isnt as bumpy as mine.

| SHELTER, MILITIA |
[16 Oct 2003|02:10am] |
well,
lots happened in the last cpl o days. We will be headling the halloween show at the shelter (more details on that later). We have also been added to the clutch cargos botb on Nov 23. we will also be playing a sow in rodchester with the rat king sometime soon (more details on that later). and last but not least we might be added to the fordire/big/clio show at the skating rink in dec. those shows plus the show on Nov 7th (roseville theatre) and a few others (possibly a split release party with ODR in the next month) should be keeping us busy.
So i just now found out from Ed Knight that an offshoot of militia records (rufio) has taken interest in the band and is waiting for our demo to be completed. I guess they heard "from Texas With Love" and decided theyd like to check if we were a one hit wonder band or not. This puts alot more preasure on me then before. Im going into the studio this sunday to over dubb and harmonize the two other tracks. wish me luck.

Fall Out Boy - Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today |
] |
well, last night was an eventful one. i spent most of the night worried sick about bryan. he tried to talk down his condition and made all of us worried sick about him before he showed up. at least he showed up, if he hadnt i wouldnt have minded, just want the lil fuck to be ok. so the cops came and everyone had to be out by like 10, so we only got to play like three songs, but we rocked the fuck outa the time we had. I swear if i wasnt in a band, id have no way to release all my self destructive tendancies and just lash out "in an unconstructive" manner. You can always tell how im feeling at the end of stabbing angels. Normally I sing the "my hearts" so hard i almost puke or pass out.
on a side note, it was great to see JPC play, even if it was the first and the last time. i only wished i wasnt so preoccupied with the whole bryan ordeal, and enjoyed it more. Same goes for ODR, i was too busy chain smoking on my car, and i only got to see dracula backwards...well if i had to pick a song to hear it would be that one for sure. Ill just go to there next practice and make em brownies or something to make it up to them.
today we have practice, mainly a vocal rehearsal. Trying to get ready for the demo recording this sunday, with ben from JPC.

I cant F-in' wait till the show tonight. its seems like the week has gone by so damn slow, in my anticipation for this weekend. We were so close to not being able to play the damn thing, so right now im very grateful for being able to. Bryan had a doctors appointment at 7:15 and had a slim chance of making it to the show in time. So corey (the drummer for ODR) offered to fill in (i love that MF). So after we get done practicing with corey for about 3 hrs, larry decided then to tell us that bryan left us a message saying that he pushed the appointment back and would make it on time. I almost destroyed larry (yes destroyed, u cant kill larry he is a robot, very few ppl know this). i think i was too happy that bryan would make it to dish out some mech destroying power beams, o well ....maybe next time. so after, the band - bryan +griffin and corey went to wendy's. Corey polished off the most food i think ive ever seen someone order at wendy's. Griffin got pissed at his gf, and moped the whole way home.
O YA, thats right. guess whos bitch ass can drive? WRONG! its me!....ya i know im cool u dont have to tell me.

P.S. hope to see yo asses at the show in Berkley tonight, its gonna be THE BOMB AND THE WHOLE 20 PEICE!

hey,
Just got off the phone with zach, had a good time discussing band shit. I still have yet to take a shower, since i got back from the show. The show was nuts, so it made my b-day that much better. Dee and I wound up hanging out with the guys from One Day Remains afterward at National (the whole band was there). Brian was supposed to come to the show, but alas , dont no when ill see that crazy cat next (prolly friday at FDLS and Silverstein).
the band is doing great, and thats making me excited as fuck. Trying to get a recording done, the demo will prolly be getting recorded next weekend (the ADF/ODR split). which we'll prolly be throwing a cd release party through the disco alliance. Merch will becoming shortly there after in the form of shirts and stickers. that makes me all nice and giddy. So far the response for the band has been extremely positive, and that makes me want to get out of bed in the morning.

Im a bit late on this post but o well...
Friday's show at Eko was fucking amazing. So many ppl showed up to supports us, and the audience was totally into it. It made me realize again why i play music. One Day Reamins is the fucking shit, and i all ready miss the fuck outa those guys...I cant wait till we go into the studio together. The highl;ight of the show had to have been griffin getting on stage and doing the ASL cover with us, that kid is my fuckin' bud. Wait, ok maybe it was the crowd doing the hand sways with me. I dont think ne one realizes how cool that looks up on stage.
I sat in my car for the first time ever tonight. Im so damn excited to be able to drive, i think im gonna piss myself.
To Zach: Your the fucking shit kid, dont let what people say effect you. Your as much a part of this as all of us. Take ur punchs like Rocky, and smoke there ass in the final rounds.
I would like to thourolly apologize to Quit Your Life for being an ass and not watching your set. As soon as i can drive (couple of days) ill be at your next show and make it up to you, i mean not that i matter (but still).
one year older, one more year not living up to my own expectations.

A Static Lullaby - Annunciate While You Masticate |

i had to wear a hoodie yesterday, which means fall is around the corner. I love fall, i think its the air and the premature darkness. Ironically with the dying of the surroundings, the birth of numerous friendships have occured (my attempt at sounding enlightened *wink, wink*). The guys from One Day Remains are the fucking shit...no seriously. We played are first show with them, and instantly became buds. Luckliy we get to play another show with the guys tonight at eko, It's going to be GRRRREEAT! In recent weeks I've taken up oil painting, which im extremely grateful for since its prolly the one thing that dulls my boredom. maybe ill scan some shit and post it....maybe. So right now my life is pretty much waiting for the band to get enough money for a recording. Ive been listening to the live cd for two days straight , and would rly like to hear something less overdriven and less level chaotic.
see ya tonight,
Ryan

could you go with out
your security blanket
of love and hate
your toys, your name
the blank stares of un caring fucks
and still remain the same?
could you go with out
the objects we put in place of freedom
freedom of thought and grace
freedom from ignorance and mediocrity?
would the undertoe of loss take you with it
or could you learn to swim upstream?
who would be your heroine then
who can save you from your self
can you watch your own scars callous over
or will you bleed upon the backs of others
so they can drag you down
to wallow in their own good deeds
skin cannot be made metal with money
play things can not be sold souls
when will you realize, you are not your possesions
and your possesions cant stake you as their claim
I hate the gears and pistons that they put in place of friends
I hate the world of plastic they've made to melt
I hate the synthetic heart that beats in my constructed chest
I hate what they've made us into and the air they've given us to breath
