Untitled 02 - Brand New
She was just 17,
pious and pretty with a deadly disease,
and the weight of the world on her prosthetic shoulder,
and by the summer of '96,
her body was cracked like porcelain,
just like some precious moments collectible,
in a hospital gown and a big bright golden halo...
And so three cheers for my morose and grieving pals,
and now let's hear it for the tears that i've welled up,
we've come too far to have to give it all up now,
we live lives that are rich and blessed,
and we'll burn for how we transgress...
Now i've mastered the art,
of the open casket prayer and the singing guitar,
and i've found the rewards weren't half what i'd hoped for,
and meanwhile we all feigned hope and mirth,
as her parents went on and lied to her,
all about the success of the surgeries,
and how my ex-girlfriend was now sleeping with her fiance...
And so three cheers for my morose and grieving pals,
and now let's hear it for the tears that i've welled up,
we've come too far to have to give it all up now,
we live lives that are rich and blessed,
and we'll burn for how we transgress...
If there's any justice in heaven,
Then God won't let me in,
He'll lock the gates and take my weekend pass away,
With a sympathetic wave they'll see me off
Reserve my golden crown while I am cursed to walk the earth for a millenia,
I know I deserve worse but it terrifies me and I can't take it anymore...
And so three cheers for my morose and grieving pals,
and now let's hear it for the tears that i've welled up,
we've come too far to have to give it all up now,
we live lives that are rich and blessed,
and we'll burn for how we transgress...
I'm a 20 year old guy that lives on the Gold Coast in Australia. I go to uni and am currently studying Communications majoring in writing and doing film work as well, however I am beginning to tire of formal education and hope once I'm out of the system I don't find myself back in. Used to play guitar but not so much anymore. I am an avid fan of films and hope to become a screenwriter/director in time. I read a lot of literature, originally predominantly Greek and Roman stuff but have rediscovered my love for modern literature of late. I go to gigs and play video games in my spare time. Love music - consider it the greatest art ever. Don't have many friends these days, but I get by.
I am an Ambassador for Starving Kids Records - a non-profit organisation that helps develop up and coming talent on an international scale. Check out their bands and let them know what you think - these guys have much more talent than most of the big bands today.
