the sun and the moon.

when i was in college i was introduced to a band named MAE. i fell in love, really it was love at first song. it was weird that all my friends had been listening to them for awhile. but if you know me...you know i love to find new good music. and well i just fell in love with them. i have seen them a handful of times. and each time they just get better and better. the last time i saw them was about a year and a half ago. :). so i follow them on facebook, twitter and all that jazz. so i found out that they were going on tour again...YES. plus with all 5 of the orignal people :) awooohoooo :) i was pumped. but then...i read more and found out this is the last tour :( oh my i am SO sad. it is so bittersweet. this is one of my favorite bands...they have great songs, great lyrics...so there tour starts out on Friday in Richmond, VA at the canal club. and it is ending here in norfolk, va ( at the NorVa). im so sad to see them ending....it is so bittersweet. im happy to have them bless my life with such great music. :) im super sad to see them go :(

"We've got all night just to make it all right
Would you take a walk with me?
I'll give you all I've got, just spare me your time
And I promise you won't want to leave" ~ MAE :)

turn it off

I scraped my knees while I was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven
Seems like it's getting harder to believe in anything
Than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts

I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in the pride
To see nothing in the light
But turn it off in all my spite, in all my spite
I'll turn it off

And the worst part is, before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
Then in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom

The tragedy it seems unending
I'm watching everyone I looked up to breaking, bending
Taking shortcuts and false solutions
Just to come out the hero

Well I can see behind the curtain
The wheels are cranking turning
It's all wrong the way we're working
Towards a goal, that's nonexistent, it's nonexistent
But we just keep believing

And the worst part is, before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom

I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light
And turn it off in all my spite, in all my spite
I'll turn it off
Just turn it off

Again
Again, again

And the worst part is, before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom

And the worst part is, before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
~Turn it off - Paramore

looks like love.

Take another step
Don't give up on me just yet
We could take a chance
We could find a child's romance
At least we'd love until we can't

I won't run
When it looks like love
I won't hide beneath the fear of our past that's come undone
I won't run
When it looks like love
I can't spend another night alone regretting what I've done
So I won't run

A breeze can only be
When she overcomes the heat
Our hearts can only shade
When there's risk that they could break
That's the chance that I will take

So I won't run
When it looks like love
I don't hide beneath the fear of our past that's come undone
I won't run
When it looks like love
I can't spent another night alone regretting what I've done

Raise your hands
It's time to say those words that I left unsaid
I've slept through the sunrise
And I turned away every time it got bright

So I won't run
When it looks like love
needtobreathe - looks like love
