Fly

I see your face but I can't understand what you're saying.
You're looking at me like you understand me, but you don't. 
It's obvious that I don't trust, anyone.
So why are you still here?
I'm tired of the pain, the hurt, and the lies.
And all the half sincere goodbyes.
Sometimes I just want it all to end.
To end.
But when I see you standing there, looking at me like you really care.
You start to make me believe, that I could fly.
So high, so high.
That I could fly.
Now I don't know what you want from me, but I can guarantee that you won't get it.
I've built up walls, yet you keep trying to tear them down.
Are you a fool or am I a fool?
Is it me you want?
Or are you just putting up a front?
I'm tired of the pain, the hurt, and the lies.
And all those half sincere goodbyes.
Sometimes I wish it would all just end.
Just end.
But when I see you standing there, looking at me like you really care.
You start to make me believe, that I could fly.
So high, so high.
That I could fly...

Freak Like Me-Santigold

So I'm completely biased when it comes to all things Santigold. I'm a big fan of her music because it deviates from the mainstream "junk" that is heard on the radio. (I hate the radio, by the way). This is one of my current favorite songs from her sophomore album, Master Of My Make Believe (great album by the way!). Enjoy.

Patience: The Non-Virtue

Patience is a virtue.

Not often instilled in the young.

Or maybe that’s just me.

I can’t speak for you.

I can honestly say,

That I’ve been to hell and back a thousand times,

But I’ve never felt a pain so deep as the one I feel for you when you’re not with me.

Wishing you were here.

But you never are.

You’re always so far away.

In a different place.

It’s too bad really.

That your timing never came.

That you and I could never seem to be on the same plane.

If I believed in fate,

I’d say she didn’t plan for us to be together.

If I believed in destiny,

I’d say we were never destined to be.

If I believed in love,

I’d say you never really loved me.

But I don’t believe in those things.

Reality has taught me that they aren’t real.

So, I’ll just blame this one on patience.

Patience is a virtue,

They say.

A virtue not often instilled in the hearts and minds of the young.

I’m still patiently waiting for the right one to come along.

I do know one thing though.

He better hurry up and get here,

Cause my Patience is running quite thin…
