Keeping Out of Direct Sunlight

We are the ones with the radiating eyes. We are the Ones who have a fire inside. We are the ones only we can recognize. We've been rejected (we've been rejected)- Suffered the ignorance, suffered the selfishness, been pushed so far down now comes our time to surface. Turn from the light, that made them all go blind. We've been protected (we've been protected) ALL ARISE TO WHAT WE BRING,OUTSTRETCHED HANDS, UNFOLDED WINGS. We've hurt ourselves, and I feel the sting of broken hearts and burning wings...

Today was fantastic! It amazed me, I thought it would suck. The english language can go to hell. There is not a word near enough colorful and power enough to describe how ecstatic I am at this very moment. Well I didn't expect there to be anything special about today, it's usually just a normal day. It's not like I have someone to be my Valentine so to be like Anti-Valentine, I wore all black and wore my AFI shirt because that is who I love. Well anyway, like I thought it was a normal day but I was surprised when I got a little piece of candy from Elyssa. I had a test in Chemestry and I cheated on part so I'm sure I got an A. English made me laugh. We had to write a thing on how love complicates life. The teacher told this story of this chick who was like in love with this guy and like stalked him and stuff and the whole time I was trying so hard not to laugh.
I turned to Meggs, "Sound familiar?"
She laughs but really I'm not as bad as this chick was. Well anyway, the rest of the day was the same. At lunch though this guy Josh runs by and I turn to Ben and go, "Did he just have a bouquet of stems?"
"I think so."
Well then the guy runs by again but without the stems.
Ben yells, "Why are you holding a sign with your own name?"
"I like my name, it's very pretty." Then he continues to run.
I yell, "Why did you have a bouquet of just stems?"
"They were for Ms. Brady."
Ben and I laughed. Well that was pretty much it for the day. So I stayed after for environmental club but no one else really showed up because it was Valentines Day and all and who would stay after for club when they had Valentines, right? So when it was over I grabbed a ride with Josh and his mom. They dropped me off and I headed straight for my room to change into my pjs and to put my stuff away like I did everyday but something stopped me and I decided to put my cell near the computer because that would be my next stop. While I was heading to the computer, I noticed a big Fed Ex bag. Fasinated, I dropped my bag on the floor and went to it. I picked it up and found it was squishy... I was getting excited. I looked down at the return address to see the wonderful letters, Cinderblock. I flipped and screamed, "Oh my god!" I think Kathie said something but it went in one ear and out the other with no thought. I reached into my pocket to throw my phone down but found it had fallen out of my pocket. I gave it no second thought and ran to Kathie, litterally ran. I kinda slid on the hardwood floors.
"Oh my god, oh my god..." that was repeated. "It came! I thought today would suck, it always does. Oh my god!
"I thought you had seen a group of spiders."
I started jumping up and down. "Oh my god! Oh my god!"
I ran out of the room and grabbed a knife. I frantically ran back...yeah I know dangerous running with a knife. I sliced the bag open while repeating, "Oh my god," over and over. I don't think I have said oh my god that many times in my life. I slid out the second bag. This was my first glance at the beautiful AFI logo and black fabric. I tore open the plastic bag and held the beautiful fabric in my hands. I started jumping up and down again. I unfolded the jacket and looked at the beautiful scene on the front. I was still repeating oh my god. I read the beautiful cursive hand on the front under the tree that read, "I promised you a heart, you'd promise to keep. Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep." I squealed and ran to Kathie telling her to feel how soft it was. She felt it and I started pacing while still repeating the oh my god phrase.
Kathie laughed and siad, "I'd think that Davey was here but I guess a part of him is."
I ripped off my jacket and put on my new one. It's so soft! The cuffs are tight but that will stretch. I ran out of the room because I had to get on AIM tell Josh that my phone was in his car. So I did that and got my phone back. I'm still wearing my coat...I can't wait till tomorrow to show it off. Steve is gonna jump me. Haha I'm gleeful! My dad just open the door, I takled him and was like "I love you!" Then he handed me a box of chocolates! This is the best V-day ever!

Random thought: It's so comfy!

To the Rats
You hide behind barricades
Built up inside, you think you're safe
But someday we all will find you
Come to where you work
And fucking tie you
Every lie, shoved back
Down your throat, by our hands
A skull-fuck
For every word
You try to breathe
Don't fuck with this
Break every bone in your face
If you mess with my life I
'll mess with your blood
And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions
Obsess as each second fades
In denial of your mind made
Still your jealousy precedes you
You're really in love with all that I do
Every lie, shoved back
Down your throat, by our hands
A skull-fuck
For every word
You try to breathe
Don't fuck with this
Break every bone in your face
If you mess with my life
I'll mess with your blood
And bury you in a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions
This is to the rats
This is to the rats
This is to the rats
This is to the rats
And your conscience still tears at you
You secretly want to be just like me
A skull-fuck
For every word you try to breathe
Don't fuck with this
Break every bone in your face
If you mess with my life
I'll mess with your blood And bury you
In a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions
Break every bone in your face
If you mess with my life
I'll mess with your blood
And bury you in a coffin made of your
A coffin made of your deceptions
