Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill, Kill!
Life Isn't A Race, It's a Journey
The kids all want to go fast. As fast as possible. Never letting up, Never slowing down.
Gearboxes shifting Only higher. And up, And up. Hum turns To roar, Roar to whine, Whine to scream.
Every single road of Possibility is Stretched out Before us, Grassy and wanting wear.
Second thoughts Are never given. Triggers are pulled, Eyes closed.
Life’s a one way Road And only For the thrill of it. Lanes are chosen, bridges burned.
Never comprehending There is no reset button.
Only when we start to realize That we can’t go back Do we start to think twice. Slow and Pull down the top.
Let the wind tousle Our hair. Life’s twisted road Stretched out Before us, Wild and Uncertain.
Summer becomes Autumn, The crowds Go home. Cheerleaders Have their rally’s. Socs and Greasers leave For their battles.
We start to savor Not the kill, Or even the Hunt. But the pleasure Of time Well spent.
Loves made.
And lost.
Laughter.
Tears. (so many of those)
Pieces of
You
In
My heart.

In Too Deep – Genesis (playing while I post this)
All that time I was searching with nowhere to run to It started me thinking Wondering what I could make of my life And who'd be waiting Asking all kinds of questions to myself But never finding the answers Crying at the top of my voice And no one listeningAll this time, I still remember everything you said, ohoThere's so much you promised, how could I ever forget Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take thisYou know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this You know I want to, but I'm in too deep So listen, listen to me Ooh, you must believe meI can feel your eyes go through me But I don't know why Ooh, I know you're going but I can't believeIt's the way that you're leaving It's like we never knew each other at allIt may be my fault I gave you too many reasons, being alone When I didn't want to I thought you'd always be there I almost believed you All this time, I still remember everything you said, oho oh Ooh there's so much you promised, how could I ever forget Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this You know I want to, but I'm in too deep So listen, listen to meI can feel your eyes go through me It seems I've spent too long Only thinking about myself, oho Now I want to spend my life Just caring 'bout somebody else Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this You know I want to, but I'm in too deep You know I love you, but I just can't take this You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this You know I want to, but I'm in too deep (you know I love you, but I just) You know I love you, but I just can't take this (but I just can't take this) You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps (you know I love you) Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this (you know I love you) You know I want to, but I'm in too deep (you know I love you, love you) You know I love you, but I just can't take this (I can't take this) You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps
