"I'm So Sick"
see related

This is the moment that you know

That you told her that you loved her, but you don't...

     My eyes darted across the crowded room.

     I had only been more nervous one other time in my life, and that involved falling off the Ripcord.

     An irrational fear, I suppose...but I wrung my hands all the same.

You touch her skin, and then you think

That she is beautiful, but she don't mean a thing to me...

     They called my number. I couldn't tell if I was supposed to be 660 or 099, so I just kind of went with it.

     They asked me how I felt, who I'd seen, where I'd been.

     Fine. No one. Nowhere.

I spent two weeks in Silverlake

The California sun cascading down my face...

     The woman helping me was archaic. Must have been seventy something.

     Her fingernails were very long.

     As she typed in my information, she hit both the key she meant to and the key above it.

There was a girl with light brown streaks

And she was beautiful, but she didn't mean a thing to me...

    "Have you got a boyfriend, sugar?"           "No, ma'am."

    "Pretty little thing like you?"                       "I'm difficult."

     I didn't really see how that was relevant, but I was just focusing on not psyching myself out.

I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking

As we moved together in the dark...

     "You've got quite a bruise on your arm there, darlin."

     "I accidentally shut my car door on myself yesterday."

     "I've never seen a bruise so black."

     And all the friends that I was telling and all the playful misspellings

And every bite I gave you left a mark...

     "All right sweetie, give me your finger."

     She pricked me, and it hurt.

     She collected my blood in a tiny tube.

     Tiny vessels oozed into your neck

And formed the bruises that you said you didn't want to fade...

     She poured it into a dish of blue water.

     It lingered at the top and spread out like fire.

     I tilted my head and watched.

But they did.

And so did I that day.

     Something wasn't routine.

     Her friendly eyes suddenly grew distant, and her voice filled with concern as she ran more tests.

     I was surrounded by people, and they kept pricking my fingers. It hurt a lot.

All I see are dark gray clouds

In the distance moving closer every hour...

     "Miss Lavelock, you are anemic and have a serious iron deficiency.

     It is so depleted that if we had tried to draw blood from you, well...

     You would be looking at the ground from the other side."

     So when you ask, "Was something wrong?"

I think you're damn right there is, but we can't talk about it now...

      It was a thirty minute walk back to Hudson Hall.

      It felt like an eternity as I juggled my life between my bandaged fingers.

      I was alone, and I cried just a little.

   So one last touch, and then you'll go

And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more...

     I felt completely helpless.

     All my life there has been nothing that I cannot do.

     But now there is.

But it was vile, and it was cheap

And you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me.

Ciao,

Caroline R. Lavelock

I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
By Bright Eyes
"Lua"
see related

   

I know that it is freezing, but I think we have to walk...

 

Umbrella

 

I keep waving at the taxis, but they keep turning their lights off...

 

Lights

 

But Julie knows a party at some actor's West Side loft...

 

JFK and RFK 2  

 

Supplies are endless in the evening, by the morning they'll be gone.

 

 Wedding

 

When everything is lonely, I can be my own best friend...

 

Sad

 

I'll get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations...

 

 Smoking

 

With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my own reflection...

 

Homeless

 

The mask I polish in the evening by the morning looks like shit.

 

Covers Mouth

 

And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss...

 

Sheep in Love

 

So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it...

 

Old Man

 

But me, I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split...

 

Sailing

 

The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist.

 

Pictures

 

You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black...

 

Pearls

 

Just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back...

 

Mirror

 

Well it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad...

 

Piano on the Street

 

But what's so easy in the evening by the morning's such a drag.

 

Tree  

 

I've got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train...

 

Road

 

And if you promise to stay conscious, I will try and do the same...

 

Sleeping

 

We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain...

 

Cemetery

But what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane.

 

Guitar

 

And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this...

 

 Writing

 

The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did...

 

Violin

 

It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live...

 

 Street

 

Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is.

 

Music

 

It was so simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated...

 

Piano

 

It was so simple in the moonlight, simple in the moonlight...

 

Water

 

So simple in the moonlight.

How to Be Dead
By Snow Patrol

So, I must tell you of my adventure last night.

Slash this morning.

I sailed a wild, wild sea
Climbed up a tall, tall mountain...

The girls of our posse: Chelsea, Kate, Rachel, Brittanie, and Caroline.

Spontaneously decided to walk to the rec center for a late evening swim.

I met an old, old man
Beneath a weeping willow tree...

After which we went for a jaunt downtown for some ice cream.

It sounds so very normal.

Because it was, at this point.

He said, now if you've got some questions
Go and lay them at my feet...

We came back to beautiful old Hudson Hall.

Home sweet home.

But my time here is brief
So you'll have to pick just three...

We watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Glorious film.

Silly English k-niggits.

And I said, what do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?

We were getting very sleepy.

After all, it was the wee small hours of the morning.

And how can a man like me remain in the light?

I bade the girls sleep well and moseyed across the hall to my own room just after The Castle Anthrax.

I thought about all the things there were to do.

Bio lab, bio reading, psychology paper, English reading...

And if life is really as short as they say
Then why is the night so long?

Bio lab graphs, bio reading, psychology paper, English reading, English journals...

Laundry.

And then the sun went down
And he sang for me this song...

I fell fast asleep within moments of lying down.

Surrounded by the friendly faces of high school days.

See, I once was a young fool like you
Afraid to do the things that I knew I had to do...

I awoke with a start at 2:51 in the morning.

Sirens.

Fire.

So I played an escapade just like you
I played an escapade just like you...

I fumbled in the dark for a few moments.

Glasses, hoodie, keys, phone.

The stairwell was very smoky.

I sailed a wild, wild sea
Climbed up a tall, tall mountain...

We waited outside for several minutes before Rachel, Brittanie, and I decided to go someplace warm.

We went to the building just west of us and stayed with our good friend Joe for perhaps, thirty minutes.

I met an old, old man
He sat beneath a sapling tree...

I was almost asleep again when Rachel looked out the window and saw our fellow Hudsonites filing back inside.

So, we decided everything must be under control.

Back to bed.

He said, now if you've got some questions
Come and lay them at my feet...

Our hopes were tragically dashed when we found that we could go inside, but not to our rooms.

We had to stay in the main lounge until they could reset the fire alarms.

But my time here is brief
So you'll have to pick just three...

For over an hour we waited in the lounge with hundreds of other people.

Sitting on the floor, sleeping, talking, facebooking.

I just wanted my bed.

And I said, what can you do with the pieces of a broken heart?

Finally, the residence hall coordinator stood up in front of us with a megaphone.

She said the second floor was still too smoky to reset the alarms.

And that it would be best for us to find someplace else to sleep.

And how can a man like me remain in the light?

So I vacated poor, decrepit Hudson Hall at five a.m.

And went to my good friend Caleb's room, for his roommate went home for the weekend, providing an extra bed.

And slept like a baby.

And if life is really as short as they say
Then why is the night so long?

There is a valuable life lesson here.

Have good friends.

And take the foil off your Ramen noodles before you put them in the micowave.

And then the sun went down
And he sang for me this song...

Ciao,

Caroline R. Lavelock

We Will Become Silhouettes
By The Postal Service
see related

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own...

Things are going well.

I am very busy.

I wish I had time for other things.

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone...

I like to eat alone.

It usually happens at lunch.

It's my time for other things.

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Maybe you think that's sad.

But I need my solitude.

To think of other things.

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel...

I like to walk around with my iPod.

Sometimes I forget that the people I see cannot hear the music.

As they go do other things.

Those three words
I said too much
They're not enough...

Sometimes I get distracted.

I close my eyes and drift away.

And imagine other things.

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life...

I miss writing.

I write a lot of notes and papers.

Instead of other things.

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads...

I come and go as I please.

My freedom goes where my conscience allows.

I could go do other things.

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own...

But time is a luxury.

Only so many hours in a day.

No time for other things.

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see...

I am happy.

Wasting time.

To dream of other things.

I don't know where
Confused about how, as well...
Just know that these things will never
Change for us at all...

I love my life.

I can be myself.

But I miss the other things. 

     If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Ciao,

Caroline R. Lavelock

How to Save a Life (W/Dvd) (Spec)
By Fray
"Look After You"
see related

Love of mine,

Someday you will die, but I'll be close behind...

I don't feel very well.

I've succumbed to something horrible.

Doubt.

No blinding lights or tunnels to gate of white

Just our hands clasped so tight...

I just got out of the shower.

I was in there for over half an hour.

Standing, mostly.

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied

Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs...

It happened for two reasons:

1) Morgan keeps our room at subzero temperatures

2) I seem to be going through a deep, personal loss.

If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks,

Then I will follow you into the dark...

So there I stood, water pouring over me.

Contemplating...

Pre-med society, studying, textbooks, finances, house meetings, student government, frog embryos, receipts, contracts, bureaucracy...

Why do I do this to myself?

Because...this is who I am.

Maybe I don't like who I am anymore.

In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule

I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black...

High school was a game.

And I was damn good at it.

Yet, I promised myself that I would take it easy when I got to college...that I wouldn't overwhelm myself with classes, activities, and obligations.

And I held my tongue as she told me:

"Son, fear is in the heart of love."

So I never went back.

I suppose a part of me thought that college would be the end, and I could relax.

But it's far from over.

It seems I've got to start from scratch and build an entirely new and completely impressive resumé for medical school.

You and me have seen everything to see

From Bangkok to Calgary...

I thought I had done it all.

But this is going to be hard.

I guess it's good that I'm starting early...I wish I had known how much it helps to be involved when I was a freshman in high school.

And the soles of your shoes are all worn down

The time for sleep is now...

But I don't know, this was so...unexpected.

Especially after moving from the town of 6000 where I had lived for each of my seventeen years, to a faraway campus full of 25,000 perfect strangers.

And I can't help but feel that something terribly important is slipping away...

It's nothing to cry about, cause we'll hold each other soon

The blackest of rooms

And I will follow you into the dark...

Ciao,
Caroline R. Lavelock
