"Holding hands was the gateway drug that led to the mess I am in."

Welcome all,

It has now been two whole days since i returned to the United States.  I have been able to sleep well and am preparing for summer work.  This is always the fun part of the summer: the return to reality and the real world.

For today`s post, I am going to be featuring a song by the band Silverstein.  The song is called Texas Mickey.  This song is my favorite song off the new album by Silverstein ("Rescue") and offers an amazing story line within the lyrics.  Enjoy.


Save the Value from itself!
(another empty bottle)
Probably one to accept yourself!
(and now you cannot swallow)

all your pride
you fall asleep alone tonight
one day less until you die!
(Until you Die!)

One More Time
You can follow our suspicions
While you close your eyes and lie
You and I (eee aye eee aye)
Will continue to discover that
were wasting so much time

Sell for Despair save yourself!
(We know your keeping secrets)
We know you will come around!
(Too many, Just a regret)

Deep inside
You'll fall asleep with it tonight
Penetrating in your mind!
(Not Just Tonight!)

One More Time
You can follow our suspicions
While you close your eyes and lie
You and I (eee aye eee aye)
Will continue to discover that
were wasting so much time
(Wasting So Much Time)

Looking back
All the stupid drama
That painted my world black
Holding hands was a gateway drug
That led to the mess I'm in
But I won't give up
I won't lie down
as you take away my friends
Don't try to change me now
Don't start to judge me now
There's been a hundred lows
But there's been a million highs
And now we're wasting so much time.
