Where do we go from here?
And what did you do with the directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road

If It Makes You HAppy
I have to admit that I miss all of her classic tunes. and this is one of them. Sheryl Crow Please make more of these kindda tunes.
I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again
Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again
Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

How to say goodbye
I fall asleep listening to this song every night ever since after watching Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Paul Tiernan - How to say goodbye
Living isn't quite the same
You said to me, it's runnin' away.
If you're scared or tired of what you're scared of
Why should you stay
You love to say goodbye
And always counted all the time
'til he was free
to get up and leave
to learn how to breathe
again...
Slippin' out to have a cigarette
with someone else that he'd never met
Ask her if by the way would you like to
run away and try to forget
Just not to stay
To leave without saying why
To get up and go
To catch the last train
To get in some car and drive out again
To never come back this way
Left to say:
goodbye
so long
farewell
ovwar
goodbye
so long
farewell
ovwuar

The Background
Everything is quiet, Since you're not around
And I live in the numbness now
In the background
I do the things we did before
I walk Haight Street to the store
And they say where's that crazy girl
You don't get drunk on red wine, and fight no more
I don't see you anymore
Since the hospital
The plans I make still have you in them
'Cause you come swimmin' into view
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you
I only know because I carry you around
In the background
I'm in the background
Words they come and memories all repeat
I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
'Ey, I would never lie to you, No
I would never lie to you, No
I felt you long after we were through
We were through
The plans I make still have you in them
'Cause you come swimming into view
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do,
The words we use so lightly, I only feel for you
I only know because I carry you around
In the background.
'Cause I felt you long after we were through
When you come swimmin' into view
(When you come swimmin' into view)
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do
(You come swimmin' into view)
The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you
(You come swimmin' into view)
I only know because I'm way, I'm way
In the background
I'm in the background
What's at the end?
First you wake up and drag yourself up.
Get a cup of coffee on one hand and a cigarette on the other.
Forget the man above you, so you take the train for your own reason to leave.
You walk with the dead, packed like the popcorn you had last night.
You wish you would save yourself from the hole that's been digging itself.
You wish that the day would rain to wash it all away.
So we put down our name tag and drive away.
So we drink down our sorrows and we laughed at each other to feel Better.

For this
For this I will spill all of the poison that unblooms the world of fictional characters with rainbows arch between the rich and the poor.
What is real and not is not for me to judge.
Taste that air, water, wine and steak.
I might be your last delicious meal, for what you thought you can have it all.
This dirt, this ink, this white mess is like the corrupt world that you and I create.
It deceives you from what you think it is, from what you think what is truth.
We are born, raised, learned from the best then you spit at them, that that cert (you might think you deserve it), take that job that you hate, get that paycheck and throw them to the booze that drowns in your pool of imagination.
We seek liVe, we seek loVe but do we seek death for what we actually concern and fear the most?
It's blasphemy for suicide for whom who disrespect the beauty of life on this discarded soil ground that trembles and shakes constantly, endlessly searching for peace.
It is angry yet it forgives. Bitter it may seem to witness its wrath that swallowed a percentage of us yearly. Look at what we had done globally.
It's like us, we fear, we anger, we love, we lust, we scream, we cry, we crave, we give and we take.
It is us that create what we are, we slave ourselves to the music, art, religion and more to consume the time as it passes by the second to the next.
Take, pick, look or just swallow that pill of happiness and let it take you to a new height.
You might think the craze this world creates would settle down and drifts away as it get washed down when you flush that piss to the rabbit hole.
But I tell you this, what ever you face and challenge, nothing will stand in your way if you believe it and with fire that burns from the phoenix in your heart and someone you love by your side.
