I'm Just Hopelessly Hopeful

I hate quoting Fall Out Boy. It makes me feel like either one of those sad, loser teenage bags of useless or an incredible fangirl, neither of which I'm a huge fan. But sometimes it's the only verbalisation that makes sense.

Something just hit my switch
To make me not care about anything
The point where staying awake isn't worth
The heartbreak my head gives
Sleep isn't the problem
It's the getting there that's hard
Don't make me think about me
Make your life the only one in mind
The questions and comments just rile me
I can't stand the confrontation
Make my decisions for me
Before I spill my guts over the table
The words make my skin itch
At where my head adjoins my neck
Where I could peal off my face
And you could see the real underneath

I want to get to the point where I can do this

I am an accident waiting to happen

I can't pick a single lyric, so just listen to the whole song.

The Dresden Dolls: Truce

You can have Washington, I’ll take New Jersey
You can have London but I want New York City
I should get Providence – I’ve got a job now
Los Angeles – obvious – that's where you belong now

You can have Africa, Asia, Australia,
As long as you keep your hands off Cafe Pamplona
We can split Germany right down the middle
You'd hate it there anyway
Take Berlin and we’ll call it even

You can take all of the carry-on baggage
I'll trade the saskia jokes for the alphabet language

And special occasions we'll split between parents
Who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends

You call it over and I call you psycho
Significant other?
Just say we were lovers and we'll call it even
We'll call it even

I am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered
Disguised as a hero to get passed your borders
I know when I’m wanted, I’ll leave when you ask me to
Mind my own business and speak when I’m spoken to

I am the tower around which you orbited
I am not proud, I am just taking orders
I fall to the ground within hours of impact
I hit back when hit
And attack when attacked

You get Route 2 between Concord and Lexington
I want Mass Ave from the square to my apartment

And if we should meet through some misunderstanding
I’ll be very sweet, very patient, and forgiving
(Now get off my side of the state)

And if we should see one another in passing
Despite these techniques, there is sometimes no avoiding
(There must be some kind of mistake)

We'll raise high the white flags and bow heads and shake hands
Declaring the land we're on un-American
We'll call it even
We’ll call it even

I am the tower around which you orbited
I am not proud I am just taking orders
I fall to the ground within hours of impact
I hit back when hit
And attack when attacked

And I am an accident waiting to happen
I'm laughing like mad while you strangle the captain
My place may be taken but make no mistake
From a little black box I can say without shame
That you've lost, that you’ve lost
Do you know what you've lost?

So take whatever you'd like
I'll strike like the States on fire
You won't sleep very tight
No hiding
No safe cover
Make your bed and now lie
Just like you always do
You can fake it for the papers but I’m on to you, I’m on to you

So take whatever you'd like
I'll strike like the States on fire
You won't sleep very tight
No hiding
No safe covers
Make your bed and now lie
Just like you always do
You can fake it for the papers but I’m on to you
I’m on to you
I’m on to you
I’m on to you
