My Evening Emo

Sometimes i just need this kind of shit.

The first entry has a video component and then the non-edited lyrics. This was a big hit, but if you know only the radio version, you're missing out on a lot:

The official video:



The non-edited lyrics:


And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

I already knew what this song was about.

Okay, one more tear-jerker for tonight....





I truly believe this is one of the most profound video statements i've ever seen, and no matter how many times i see it, i always tear up at 2 minutes 33 seconds.

The imagery in the final moments is particularly poignant in posterity, but that only makes me smile.
