* I've been talking to myself, but I don't believe me * Wakin' up to nothing new * Except the ceiling, now, keeps gettin' closer somehow * People keep on sayin' that I've got potential * Lately I haven't been feelin' all that special * Now, I'm gonna turn it around *
* Everybody has a moment when they wake up * Everybody has a mornin' when they've had enough, * Everybody gets to decide what they are gonna believe in *
* This is how I feel, this is where I stand, this is what I can do, and this is who I am * And now I see my face like it was the first time * I don't know what's changed, but now it feels like mine * 'Cause I've drawn, 'cause I've drawn (a line in the sand) * I've drawn a line in the sand *
* I've been wearin' out my shoes draggin' down the sidewalks, * Spendin' afternoons sleepin' at the bus stop * Now, the hours pass like rain clouds * People keep on sayin' that I'm goin' somewhere * Tried to buy a map to show me how to get there, now * But they said they'd run out *
* Everybody, put your backs up against the wall * Everybody, this won't take any time at all * Everybody, may I have your attention please? *
* This is how I feel, this is where I stand, this is what I can do, and this is who I am * And now I see my face like it was the first time * I don't know what's changed, but now it feels like mine * 'Cause I've drawn, 'cause I've drawn (a line in the sand) * I've drawn a line in the sand *
* This is how I feel, this is where I stand, this is what I can do, and this is who I am * And now I see my face like it was the first time * I don't know what's changed, but now it feels like mine * 'Cause I've drawn, 'cause I've drawn (a line in the sand) * I couldn't cross it, now I can (line in the sand, line in the sand) *
* This is how I feel, this is where I stand, this is what I can do, and this is who I am * This is how I feel, this is where I stand, this is what I can do, and this is who I am * This is how I feel, this is where I stand, this is what I can do, and this is who I am * This is how I feel, this is where I stand... *
I think it's time where I move on. Cause otherwise things implode and it only gets worse. I'll text maybe tomorrow and see if we should hang out before I go. Other than that, not going to give anything. I can't. I can't get hurt again. I can't chase someone else away. fuck this shit yo, I am so tired of finding someone I'm interested in by accident then finding out that the guys I want don't want me.
June 29, 2009 08:28 PMMy Michael Jackson memories. . .
This is done elsewhere, but I wanted to reflect... that my brother Christopher is named Michael because of MJ. My brothers and I really wanted to actually name him Michael Jackson Provow, but my mom ended up just choosing Michael as his name (which was to Chris's advantage).
I used to watch "Moonwalker" over and over, loving the video for "Leave Me Alone" in the beginning. I also developed a fear of tarantulas because they were Joe Pesci's signature in the movie.
We used to listen to "Dangerous" over and over, although "Keep it in the Closet" was very scandalous.
I remember seeing the "Black and White" video and wondering what the hell was up with the extended car fight scene at the end. I remember that being parodied on MAD.
It's weird losing a celebrity that defined a large portion of your childhood.
