Caring Is Creepy.

>
I knew finally
that she wasn't
attracted to me
after I asked her
if she was and
she said she wasn't.

Still, one night
I insisted we meet
and I kissed her.
Before she got mad
I said
"Thanks. I can't
taste
my dead grandfather's forehead anymore."

You saved for a bass guitar

[words by Camera Obscura]

Fresh as the paint
Friendship can die young

Life will be the death of you
I'm ready to be heartbroken

--Such a fragile thing
I can't believe

I got myself some bowling shoes
and they're all that I can see

All alone in a room following lines on maps.

Be courageous.

[words by Broken Social Scene]

Library cards

Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash
Under my window

Sleep on the floor
Dream about me

--They lost their lives in backyards.

Park that car
Drop that phone

These people drinking lovers' spit
--It's time we grow old.

I like it all
that way:

Library cards
Rented faces

--They lost their lives.

'I Love You'

That you're convinced
I'm lying
makes me wish
I were
being truthful.
