So recently I, and 4 other people moved into an awesome 2 bedroom apartment in Chicago, IL. what a great place.

she’s sittin in a bathroom stall
with a marker in her hand
scribbling down the words
to her favorite song by her favorite band
and she hopes someone will read them
and maybe they’ll understand
how it feels
to care so much it hurts
to fight so hard you shake
to love so intensely that it scares you
to build so much that something breaks
she knows that she’s not the only one
but sometimes it sure feels that way
in a little college town in Ohio
so there’s a song that she sings everyday
(chorus)
I want something
that’s better than this.
and i’m not sure exactly what it is
but i think that we could build it
if we try together
And if we all sing...
And 500 miles away, down I-70
there’s a boy sitting in a room
full of patches and PCP
and the kids all drink the same beer
and they talk about anarchy
and he wonders if he’s the only one
who remembers what that used to mean?
and the punk-rock band plays on
long into the night
these days the girls with the empty eyes
hardly even put up a fight
and he watches as his friends give up
and slowly start to die
sticking needles in their arms
because punk-rock boys never cry, and he sings:
(chorus)
and that very same night
kids all across the earth
felt lonely and confused
frightened and unsure
and we’re trying to find one another
through a system that keeps us apart
to match the weapons that we hold in our fists
with the passion that we carry in our hearts
and we know it’s gonna take a long time
and we know that we’ll fuck up along the way
but i’ve got a feeling that we’re winning
as i hear more and more and more of us say:
(chorus)
how to play (simplified version)
capo: 2

This is where you say whatever the fuck you want to say to me.
This is where you ask anything you need to ask
Get anything off your chest
tear me apart
put me together
This seems to be a requirement of live journal
so
anonymous or not tell me what you want
get to work
:]
<3 lizzie lou.

Final travel arrangements haven't been set
we'll meet eachother at the station
much long to wait
i'll be waiting early
hope to see you soon,
miss you friends
all far, and some near
when we come together, there isn't anything that we can't do
you know we are the true believers
manthem, is our song,
true believers until the end.
rock on.

I want to stop wanting to want nothing,
And want nothing.
I want to be free.
And want nothing.
I want to be free.
If only I could remember how nice it was when I didn't have to write silly papers all the time about nothing that I care about. I just wish that my finals were over and I could peacefully go back to Wisconsin and have a good time. I'm not trying to complain, its just that I haven' t really updated this thing in a long time so I figured I would for the hell of it.
and for all you Wisconsiners out there - I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YA!

Daises and daffodils are very nice -
sitting in flower pots for all of their lives
but magical powers conduct the flowers
to turn into robots with no faces
no eyes to see places
and legs to wind down
all powerful forces
i'm killing my resources
books, cds, dvds, and records
i play them to feel better
no feelings are found here
round the corner they are near
fucking robots everywhere!
i take out their batteries
and turn them back to beautiful flowers.

Everyday i sit and think
All i do is wonder why easter is
So stupid and boring all i wanted
To do was go to the mall, and
Eat some ice cream. but no -
Religion ruined my day.

I have a poem i wrote on the train this weekend back from chicago. i'll post it soon!
i'm so hungry! where is the food?
in the dumpster?
i think so!
so i'm off -
to find the food
of my dreams!

life is wonderful.
mending pieces of memories
i unfold colorful enemies
inside of me
in my eyes lay the entities
of my secrets
i hold onto
everything i have lost
but it brings forth, new
things
of secrets mended
can you end it?
hide away from friends with
the lies they tell you
behind your back is the truth
your enemies tell you to your face
they hate you
they always do
you can never be happy
so hide it all away
tuck it all in your head
or in your soul instead
mend the hate
into truth
learn to be honest and
commend no lies
but it never ends
or mends
or your soul
which will hold
together
i stay young
forever.
