The Pains of Being Pure At Heart “Heart In Your Heartbreak” (by cvijetics)
"Take a look around when you're going down Cuz you'll never feel so high As when you hid in her arms in the sky and the world slept And there's no use to say just how much it kills When it still kills all the same Every thought of her name like a hand to an open flame She was the heart in your heartbreak She was the miss in your mistake And no matter what you take, you're never going to forget She was the tear in a rainstorm She was the promise that you would've sworn And no matter what you say, it's never gonna come back An ambulance goes by, and you wonder why It never stops when you want it to It never stops when you need it to take you away And your friends don't understand that the world could end, And it would feel no worse than this Every thought of the look in her eye Like a cold California sky She was the heart in your heartbreak She was the miss in your mistake And no matter what you take, you're never going to forget She was the tear in a rainstorm She was the promise that you would've sworn And no matter what you say, it's never gonna come back And no matter what you pray, It's never gonna take the pain away And even if she'd stay you know it's wrong And no matter what you pray, it's never gonna take the pain away Cuz even if she'd stay, you know she's gone

You see, sorrow gets too heavy and joy it tends to hold you
With the fear that it eventually departs

Chad Van Gaalan - Graveyard
i laid you down
in a wooden box with lonesome thoughts
down in the graveyard
you came round
inside the pitch black of your coffin in the ground
you let your ghost
leak through the earth above your grave
and coast around
to find your love
that you left behind
inside of this old town
who are you
who are you
so come on down
come and walk around and through the graveyard
come on by
come and slip and slide right through the ground
you’ll be close
back to your coffin in the ground
out by the sound
of your lover
who’s been buried right beside you in the ground
who are you
who are you

I feel for you, you little horror
Safe at your mother’s breast
No lucky break for you around the corner
‘Cos your father is a bully
And he thinks that you’re a pest
And your sister, she’s no better than a whore
Life seems so rosy in the cradle
but I’ll be a friend, I’ll tell you what’s in store
There’s nothing at the end of the rainbow
There’s nothing to grow up for anymore
Tycoons and barrow boys will rob you
And throw you on the side
And all because they love themselves sincerely
And the man holds a bread-knife
Up to your throat, is four feet wide
And he’s anxious just to show you what it’s for
Your mother works so hard to make you happy
But take a look outside the nursery door
There’s nothing at the end of the rainbow
There’s nothing to grow up for anymore
All the sad and empty faces
That pass you on the street
All running in their sleep, all in a dream
Every loving handshake
Is just another man to beat
How your heart aches just to cut him to the core
Life seems so rosy in the cradle
but I’ll be a friend, I’ll tell you what’s in store
There’s nothing at the end of the rainbow
There’s nothing to grow up for anymore

Why don’t you ever want to play?
I’m tired of this piece of string
You sleep as much as I do now
And you don’t eat much of anything
I don’t know who you’re talking to
I made a search through every room
But all I found was dust that moved
In shadows of the afternoon
And listen, about those bitter songs you sing?
They’re not helping anything
They won’t make you strong
So, we should open up the house
Invite the tabby two doors down
You could ask your sister
If she doesn’t bring her basset hound
Ask the things you shouldn’t miss:
Tape-hiss and the Modern Man
The Cold War and card catalogues
To come and join us if they can
For girly drinks and parlor games
We’ll pass around the easy lie
Of absolutely no regrets
And later maybe you could try
To let your losses dangle off
The sharp edge of a century
And talk about the weather, or
How the weather used to be
And I’ll cater with all the birds that I can kill
Let their tiny feathers fill disappointment
Lie down; lick the sorrow from your skin
Scratch the terror and begin
To believe you’re strong
All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV
And frankly that thing doesn’t really interest me
I swear I’m going to bite you hard
And taste your tinny blood
If you don’t stop the self-defeating lies
You’ve been repeating since the day you brought me home
I know you’re strong

Let’s get fucked up and die..
I’m speaking figuratively, of course..
Like the last time that I committed suicide.. social suicide..
Yeah, so I’m already dead on the inside,
But I can still pretend with my memories and photographs,
I’ve learned to love the lie.

Bad Religion _ Faith Alone
What the world needs now
is some accountability
we can’t buy more time
because time won’t accept our money
if your soul needs love
you can always have my pity
but it looks as though faith alone
won’t sustain us no more
I can spend the night with you,
but can’t call you up the next day.
That’s why I drink so much,
to forget your touch
Quote with 1 note
The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby
And planning’s for the poor so let’s pretend that we’re rich
And I’m not my body or how I choose to destroy it
Folk singers sing songs for the working, babyWe’re just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers
There’s no relief for the bleeding heart
Because they’ll be losing bodies tonight
Quote with 8 notes
I’ll destroy this useless heart
I’ll fuck it up so it’ll never beat again
Not just for me but for anyone

I spent a week drinking the sunlight of Winnetka, California
Where they understand the weight of human hearts
You see, sorrow gets too heavy and joy it tends to hold you
With the fear that it eventually departs
And the truth is I’ve been dreaming of some tired tranquil place
Where the weather won’t get trapped inside my bones
And if all the years of searching find one sympathetic face
Then it’s there I will plant these seeds and make my home
I spent a day dreaming of dying in Mesa, Arizona
Where all the green of life had turned to ash
And I felt I was on fire, with the things I could have told you
I guess I just assumed that you eventually would ask
And I wouldn’t have to bring up my so badly broken heart
And all those months I just wanted to sleep
And though spring, it did come slowly, I guess it did it’s part
My heart has thawed and continues to beat
I visited my brother on the outskirts of Olympia
Where the forest and the water become one
And we talked about our childhood, like a dream we were convinced of
That perfect peaceful street where we came from
And I know he heard me strumming all those sad and simple chords
As I sat inside my room so long ago
And it hurts that he’s still shaking from those secrets that were told
By a car closed up too tight and a heart turned cold
And I went to San Diego, the birthplace of the summer
And watched the ocean dance under the moon
And there was a girl I knew there, one more potential lover
I guess that something’s got to happen soon
Because I know I can’t keep living in this dead or dying dream
And as I walked along the beach and drank with her
I thought about my true love, the one I really need
With eyes that burn so bright, they make me pure
They make me pure
They make me pure
I long to be with you
I dreamt of a fever,
One that would cure me of this cold, winter set heart.
With heat to melt these frozen tears
Burned with reasons as to carry on.
Into these twisted months I plunge without a light to follow
But I swear that I would follow anything
Just get me out of here.
And you get six months to adapt
Then you get two more to leave town.
And in the event that you do adapt
We still might not want you around.
But I fell for the promise of a life with a purpose
But I know that that’s impossible now.
And so I drink to stay warm
And to kill selected memories
‘cause I just can’t think anymore about that
Or about her tonight
But I give myself three days to feel better
Or else I swear I’ll drive right off a fucking cliff
‘cause if I can’t learn to make myself feel better
How can I expect anyone else to give a shit?
And I scream for the sunlight or a car to take me anywhere
Just get me past this dead and eternal snow
‘cause I swear that I’m dying, slowly but it’s happening
And if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere
Just take me there, just take me there, just take me there
And say, and lie to me, and say, and lie to me, and say
It’s going to be alright
Audio post reblogged from I Will Be Grateful For This Day with 5 notes - Played 60 times
If you walk away, I’ll walk away
First tell me which road you will take
I don’t want to risk our paths crossing some day
So you walk that way, I’ll walk this wayAnd the future hangs over our heads
And it moves with each current event
Until it falls all around like a cold, steady rain
Just stay in when it’s looking this wayAnd the moon’s laying low in the sky
Forcing everything metal to shine
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like a jewelry store case
They argue, “Walk this way, no walk this way.”And Laura’s asleep in my bed
As I’m leaving she wakes up and says,
“I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave,
Baby, don’t go away, come here.”And there’s kids playing guns in the street
And one’s pointing his tree branch at me
And so I put my hands up, I say “Enough is enough,
If you walk away, I’ll walk away.”
And he shot me dead.I found a liquid cure
For my landlocked blues
It will pass away like a slow parade
It’s leaving but I don’t know how soonAnd the world’s got me dizzy again
You’d think after 22 years, I’d be used to the spin
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I’m always pacing around or walking awayI keep drinking the ink from my pen
And I’m balancing history books up on my head
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase:
“If you love something, give it away.”A good woman will pick you apart
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
And you may be offended, and you may be afraid
But don’t walk away, don’t walk awayWe made love on the living room floor
With the noise in the background from a televised war
And in that deafening pleasure, I thought I heard someone say,
“If we walk away, they’ll walk away.”But greed is a bottomless pit
And our freedom’s a joke, we’re just taking a piss
And the whole world must watch the sad, comic display
If you’re still free start running away.
‘Cause we’re coming for you!I’ve grown tired of holding this pose
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
So I’m making a deal with the devils of fame,
“Saying let me walk away, please.”“You’ll be free child once you have died
From the shackles of language and measurable time.
And then we can trade places, play musical graves,
‘Till then walk away, walk away, walk away.”So I’m up at dawn
Putting on my shoes
I just want to make a clean escape
I’m leaving, but I don’t know where to.
I know I’m leaving, but I don’t know where to.

What the hell is your name
And can you explain this mess
It seems you’re playing a game
Where you only know how to take out the bestCause if assholes could fly
This place would be busier than O’Hare
There’s proof in the sky
It’s as thick as our skulls yet it’s thinner than air
Quote with 1 note
And so tonight to celebrate, I will, I will poison myself
Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom that is spinningSo I close the door and rest my head on the tile floor
Sickness and sleep turning me cold
I’m still not sure
Is there some better place I should be heading towards?
Where the selfishly sick and self absorbed are welcome
