Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated

[Chorus]
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye

And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that

[Chorus]

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever

Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current

So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away [4x]

[Chorus]

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption

My first YouTube post

And the new American Idol is...

KRIS ALLEN???

WTH happened? Adam totally outdid Kris all throughout the competition and the finale was no exception

It's because he's gay...isn't it?

Anyway...it's not the end of the world.
Kris was still a great competitor and he's...nice

nice??

...

But why didn't Adam WIN???!!!
WHY WHY WHY WHY???

I suppose you don't get everything in life...
at least Obama won the elections...

Worth It

Hey everyone, this is a new song I'm working on.
As usual...another emo song

And I haven't come up with the music for this song or the previous one...yet

(that's Samuel's job)

No storyline for this one...the lyrics pretty much explain themselves.
Based on personal experiences? You never know

WORTH IT

(Verse 1)
Were you worth the pain and suffering?
Of my darkest days, hear the angels sing...
The lights fade out and I turn away,
cause there's nothing to live for anyway

(Chorus)
When my world crashes around me,
and you tell me that you're sorry,
I ask myself the question:

Were you worth it?
Were you worth it?

(Verse 2)
So I play our song inside my head,
eyes look up, but the heart is dead,
illusions shattered, choices made,
some too soon, and some too late

(Chorus)
When my world crashes around me,
and you tell me that you're sorry,
I ask myself the question:

Were you worth it?
Were you worth it?

(Verse 3)
Heard you whisper in my ear,
hold me steady, calm my fears,
you are everything that I hold dear,
until you disappeared

(Bridge)
When I look up, you're not there,
and I fall into despair,
watching you, wanting you
seeing you act like you don't care...

(Chorus)
When my world crashes around me,
don't tell me that you're sorry,
I ask myself the question:

Were you worth it?
Were you worth it?

Falling Slowly

Falling Slowly

A really great song by American Idol finalist Kris Allen.

Even though eveyone knows that Adam Lambert is going to win...this song is still a good one

Btw, this is only an audio recording. And you might wanna turn my playlist off first

Back here Baby

Baby set me free
From this misery
I can't take it no more
Since you ran away

Nothing's been the same
Don't know what I'm living for
Here I am, so alone
And there's nothing in this world I can do

[Chorus]

Until you're back here, baby
Miss you, want you, need you so
Until you're back here, baby, yeah
There's a feeling inside I want you to know
You are the one and I can't let you go

So I told you lies
Even made you cry
Baby, I was so wrong
Girl, I promise you

Now my love is true
This where my heart belongs
'Cos here I am, so alone
And there's nothing in this world I can do

[Chorus]

And I wonder
Are you thinking of me
`Cos I'm thinking of you
And I wonder
Are you ever coming back in my life
`Cos here I am, so alone
And there's nothing in this world I can do

[Chorus]

Haru haru (Day after day) - Big Bang

A really great song. You'll need to see the video to fully appreciate it. You might wanna turn my playlist off first.

This is for everyone who has had their heart broken in half. Enjoy
