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...

I feel like the coolest person alive. I’m wearing my black pants that are loose and have a knife stabbing a heart while it’s bleeding on the front and "Heartbreaker" written across my butt, Mike’s old shirt that says, "You know what your problem is? You’re stupid." and my hair is up in a ponytail with a bandana tied over it. Oh yeah, I’m cool. I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house. That don't bother me. I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out. I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while even though going on with you gone still upsets me. There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok but that's not what gets me. What hurts the most was being so close and having so much to say and watching you walk away and never knowing what could have been and not seeing that loving you is what I was tryin' to do.Yay Rascal Flatts! They are awesome. Now the song changed to Here’s to Tonight by Eve 6…oooo I should listen to Inside Out by Eve 6, that’s a great song. Man it takes forever to scroll through my songs. Found it! Find nothing but faith in nothing. Ah, great song. Haha alrighty so I found another thing about disliking the term "emo." Really originally I loved the word, it was a fun word and still is sometimes but only with Sophia really. I have nothing against calling the fashion emo because that’s a label, everything has one but the term is almost always used as a negative term and it bothers me. Maybe it bothers me so much because it is used against me all the time. But really it’s not a music genre because emo is in every genre. It’s no longer a genre. There is no song or band that can’t be labeled as something other than emo and that other label would be more specific and true. Like if it’s hardcore, call it hardcore or at least emocore. Genres are suppose to give you an idea of what the music is like but saying emo, you aren’t limiting the sound the band or song might be. Plus the term is broad you can’t even have an idea of what it will sound like.
