I've spent ten years singing gravity away, but the water keeps on falling from the sky.

I'm not sure why it always goes downhill;
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled.
I've spent ten years singing gravity away,
But the water keeps on falling from the sky.

And here tonight while the stars are blacking out,
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt.
I've spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away,
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes.

And heaven knows, heaven knows,
I tried to find a cure for the pain.
Oh my lord! to suffer like you do,
It would be a lie to run away.

So blood is fire pulsing through our veins.
We're either riders or fools behind the reigns.
I've spent ten years trying to sing it all away,
But the water keeps on falling from my tries.

I hope I never have to feel that lonely ever again.
I came home. No one was there. 4 hours in a dark house, alone. It was just so empty, you know? I ended up bawling my eyes out and screaming into my sleeve. I haven't cried like that since I was little.
The rain pouring down outside, the lights off, no sounds save my sobs.

And worse off now; I can't do my English homework because the upgraded Microsoft Word on the school computers uses a different document format that my Word doesn't recognize so that I am sufficiently able to do nothing with it. There are no Es for effort when I can't put any in.

In order to feel like I accomplished something today, that would involve doing the only other homework I had, which was math, but because it wasn't due tomorrow and I figured I could do it then, I didn't bring it home.

Plus, I got Carl grounded for bringing him home 5 minutes late (mind you, for the first time in many, many months). He said it wasn't a big deal and that it won't last, but I still feel bad.
He said that I'm picking up a lot of his habits, but it's nice to see how much I have influenced him as well. It seems my laid back attitude is rubbing off on him. He would never have been this cool about being grounded a year ago.

Courez, courez, courez aussi vite que possible, mais vous ne pouvez pas courez, courez, courez des mains du Childcatcher.
