"i missed your skin when you were east, you clicked your heels and wished for me..."

i cant sleep.
not when i cant look in on you.
not when i cant feel you on my chest.
not even with hurricane of excitement here.
i cant be me.
i dont remember how.
i wouldnt want that memory even if i could,
if i had to do it on my own.
id pass.
skip me.
go on to someone who matters.
put me on a plane or press fastforward.
but tape the good parts.
i dont want to miss them.

There is a new post at Pete's Blogspot. It has the title "Keep it secret, keep it safe" so we won't repost it publicly, as we didn't last time he asked.

However, if you want to read it, we're sure you know where to find it by now. If not, ask.

believersneverdie

I am the love of my own life
Broke my heart
And Left myself twice
Just can't stay away
I'm gonna cheat death
God can't stand it
Keep a picture of dorian gray in my attic
I'm an iceberg off being a dreamboat
Sneak Thru bedroom windows til the day I die
The last of the crusaders lving forever with his baby teeth
The yarns of my life won't sew together right
Say your prayers. I've made a religion of leaving you behind
And I'm always tring to recover from the fog of a flight
I'm early at being late and
When wallstreet crashed I invested in a grave
I was miscast to play the role of myself
But I took it cos I needed the dime
And I'll understudy ill understand me
A secondhand account of stories that never happened
And the good times were never
Quite as good as we remember
Pick up that guitar I dare you
Ill shove it down your throat
Crash
I wanna hear my name before I hit the stage
Crash
I want out just before it gets too late
Put the world on mute
Don't look like much but I clean up good in a haircut and defamation suit
They say you'll get ur reward in heaven but hell I want it now
(When I can appreciate it)
I have nothing to offer you but everything you don't need
I was salivating the moment you began whimpering
That's just my favorite mouth and my favorite sound
"Can you hold for the next available operator?" There's enough sad to go around
I love you so much I'm going to break you in places you didn't even know existed
I'm only good at getting worse at being better
Your so pretty when ur looking at him
Behind closed doors am i the animal they say I am or have I been house broken?
"You don't have to answer any of this"
Leave it all unspoken
Snap snap snap
They'll catch us in a photograph
Snap snap snap
My heart will crush the electricity in your pants
Could I look out into the crowd and andthink "you saved my life"

i hate hate the way logic follows me around

now if i sit here and bash reviews and articles that are completely poor and unresearched- and get me or my band completely wrong. am i not also obligated to bash the same reviews that are good if not great but again get me or our band completely wrong?

or should i just be quiet like i have been?

havent written anything in sometime. even with this new bright star shining in my house.

junglebook.

im sitting here under this kind of self imposed house arrest. waiting. its been good for self reflective thought. i have been reading all of these other people's ideas about the new record. its kind of strange because i feel like i have a unique perspective on it. when i realized that about 90 percent of our fanbase didnt like me-it kind of freaked me out. it made me think of "likeability", it made me self conscious. i think on the last record i felt the need to explain my perspective, kind of pleading before a jury. now when i look back on "ioh", i hate it. i think it is one of our weakest records, perhaps, due in part to this pleading. when i try and sit in someone else who loves fall out boy's shoes i think "ttyg" is our best record. it has a nostalgic newness to it... but when i truly just think about it "fuct" was by far my favorite. the only reason i bring this up is because i truly believe that this new one is our best. we applied every once of what we knew and loved to this record. but by far the best part is after looking back on our "ioh" i felt as though i had lost what i loved about fall out boy. it felt unrelatable. the best thing about this new record to me is that there are so many songs from other members of fob's perspective. blah. okay back to reading books and waiting.

and back to wall-e.

always feel astonished.

when i was younger i was sure i was from another planet. i felt sent here from another world. only i had forgotten my mission. i had forgotten how to call home.

only to realize that i was as normal as the boy to my right or left.

now you have the whole world at your feet and you cant find the words to say.

it feels the same.

now they boo.

this towns dry and i aint talking about
oil
or
booze

love.
