Standing still
Having a stressful moment (or 40) so I’m looking toward a photo from Monday that reminds me of the relaxation I experienced for a few minutes, even though I was terribly stressed out when I took the photo, too.
I’m not ready to rub the bottle and ask the genie to do a Command-Z on my life, but the weight of the world feels heavier than it used to.
All I have to say right now is that Blip.fm is going to be the source of my financial downfall. Sure, it’s a free service, but I’ve bought more music in the last week than I have in the past year.
“I tried reality
But it kept avoiding me
The world around
Melting into nothing
And all the people
Standing still
And all the people
Standing still
We all want it be so big
But it can’t
We couldn’t keep up
So we fell
And all the people said
And all the people said
Wait
Breathe
Hold on
To the last minute
Smoke one more cigarette.
The light drifted down
Through the trees
In the forest
Iit filtered out all the words he said
And all the people staring
And all the people staring
And finally the guns swing down
Creeping, finding
And I dont wanna be here
Anymore
‘Cause all the people say
‘Cause all the people say
Wait
Breathe
Hold on
To the last minute
Smoke one more cigarette.
Wait
Stop
Breathe
In the last minute
Smoke one more cigarette.”
— Echostream, “One Last Cigarette”
