[text] i could say i'm sorry but i'm not (except i am. i really, really am.)
I've finally got this song together, but I'm still stumped on the title. I'm putting the lyrics in here for anyone who's got any ideas. Consider this an open call for song title suggestions.
Lyrics:
You punched a hole in my heart, and now
I'm an empty vessel, waiting for the music to fill the blank spaces.
What am I supposed to do now?
Nothing left but to forget all the sneering faces
I feel like a forgotten bag of chips abandoned on the streets, my soul shattered and scattering to the winds like potato leaves.
I’d break the whole world if I could
Just to make sure no one ever has to grieves
Again, and I'd break the whole world but I don't think that I should
The emptiness inside of me is hardening like cement
And now there's nothing that can fit through the cracks and spaces
Nothing left but to watch the spiraling descent
Nothing left but to remember all the sneering faces
I feel like a forgotten bag of chips abandoned on the streets, my soul shattered and scattering to the winds like potato leaves.
I’d break the whole world if I could
Just to make sure no one ever has to grieves
Again, and I'd break the whole world but I don't think that I should
[fade out]

"I feel like a forgotten bag of chips abandoned on the streets"?
"The emptiness inside of me is hardening like cement"?
If you're not looking for a counselor, I think what you need is an English tutor. Your similes are atrocious.

Besides, all that Freud/Jung stuff is a load of bull. They don't know me better than I do. And just because I'm singing about some sad stuff doesn't mean I'm thinking about offing myself or anything. Hell, writing music about it probably keeps me from doing anything stupid.
[ He says this as if there's any doubt about it, but he's like 99% sure that it really does help. ]
no subject
It's a therapeutic hobby, I get it.
Maybe talk to your music teacher instead of the counselor then.
no subject
Pfft, what's the use? The only thing the music teacher does is just organize some generic choir singing borefest. What does she know about raw, emotional music?
no subject
Her office hours are from 11AM-2PM.
One day when you're cutting class, you should go by and talk to her.
Her voice is better than anyone's around. She helped me with a project.
no subject
I didn't know she had office hours. And would use them for people outside the university.
Also wow, thanks for assuming I cut class, it's not like I have a perfect attendance record or anything. You know what they say about making assumptions.
no subject
She's a professor, but she's still human. High school students will be college students one day. I'm sure she won't turn you away if you're interested in music.
Chase says the same thing. How are you two gonna hold up the bad boy act when you're making all As and getting perfect attendance?
no subject
If getting Bs and Cs makes me a "bad boy," then I think I've got that on lock.

[ C'S GET DEGREES, TIM!!!!! ]
Besides, who even said I'm planning on going to college?
no subject
What are you planning on doing then?
no subject
The military.
Life isn't totally dictated by some piece of paper with a bunch of letters on it.
no subject
The military.
Also, veteran healthcare, despite being usually free, is worse than regular healthcare which is already bad.
Not to slam your choices, but the grass isn't greener on any side.
So just go talk to Professor Inconnue.
no subject
You think I don't know that?
Cripes, I know the military isn't a walk in the park, it's not the easy way out. But if you play your cards right, you can come out the other side way better off than if you stayed a civilian.
And even then, it's not something you go into for the benefits. It's something you go into to do your duty as a citizen and protect your country. Everything else is secondary.
[ somewhere, an american flag is waving patriotically. ]
no subject
I'm not disagreeing with you.
It's just the military isn't that nice to its people and they're the ones volunteering to protect us.
no subject
But unless you're stupid, you know that when you sign up for it. And they provide you and your family with everything you could need in exchange. Unless you're looking to live it up Beverly Hills style, then you're on your own.
[ Also, the military has been pretty nice to him, but that's because his dad's been an officer for most of James's life and therefore they all have access to the higher quality resources. Check your officer privilege, James. ]
bucky, later: you're the fucker who basically lit the flag on fire in front of me
Both the military and the education system need an overhaul, among other things.
You get comfortability and convenience handed to you, but not for free.
Even as a family member, you're still affected by the mistreatment and pressure of military service.
You think the payout of--what, like losing an arm or something--is fair? Abuse? PTSD? Agoraphobia? Irrational episodes of anger? Depression? Alcoholism?
What about the Draft?
Saying you fought bravely for your country is a lot different than saying your country shoved you on the front lines to fight a war it started by throwing around their national weight.
The military is a sham. Not necessarily because of the soldiers but because of how it functions as an organization.
meanwhile, me frantically googling every detail on the army that i possibly can
His dad should've put him on an Internet diet and it would've kept him out of fights way better than the counselors and the boot camps. ]
Okay, one, you can't use the draft as a point. We haven't had a draft since the 70s, no one's getting drafted anymore.
And two, are you even reading what I'm saying? When did I say anyone got anything for free? It's the military, you know what you're signing yourself up for. How many times do I have to say it? You know that you might get injured, or killed, or traumatized, and that it's gonna affect you and your family members, that's something you accept when you choose to do it, because, in case you forgot which you probably did by now, we haven't had a draft in 40 years!
You don't even know what it's really like, do you? Try being an army brat for 16 years and then you can tell me all about how the military works.
me every single day i continue to play a bat
You can't discount a military draft with current modern politics.
[Even if Tim is too stubborn to give up an analytical argument, he does pause to wonder how they went from shitty song titles to bickering about the state of education and the military. God.
On his end, he sighs.]
That doesn't help your initial cause, you know.
Are you pretending to possibly shuck a college education for the sake of "family legacy"?
Just because your family was in the military doesn't mean you have to be, too.
no subject
Holy crap, man, I never even said I was going to the army for sure. I was just saying it's an option before you started yelling about how it's the worst thing ever.
I don't know what I'm doing yet, I've still got like another whole year to figure it out.
no subject
I guess you have to decide whether you want to sing first or be on the front line first and MAYBE sing after.
no subject
Yeah, yeah, I'm working on finding my passion and deciding my future, etc etc etc
If you're so wise and all-knowing about the future, what are you gonna do?
no subject
no subject
How long's that gonna take, though? You think Retrospec is gonna stick around long enough for it?
no subject
Maybe another company will come along with a similar and better product, and then they'll become obsolete. Like Recolspace.
