Just foolish
so useless
that's what I have thought about me
Held under
to wander
in pain for all eternity

But since you have come along
you're trying to prove me wrong

*Chorus*
You want me
You need me
If you just said that, I could not believe
But with me
you hold me
and everyday, you show me the proof
Oh, but I can't help but wonder
how can you?

My memories
just misery
knew nothing of good life or love
When I tried
I just cried
in failure, I could always trust

But somehow, girl, you found me
and in spite of my doubting

*Repeat Chorus*

See so much good in me?
'Cause in the mirror, all I see
is just a breathing nothing
Could he be the one you're loving?

*Repeat Chorus*

I love you 'cause you do
but sometimes I still wonder
how can you?

AMAZING BRIAN!


I'm gonna see if this will go with the new song I came up with. Then I'll have this one and On Paper, haha.

Wow. Thank you all so much. H, Candice, Steve and E...you all are so great to me. I can't thank you enough. And E, that would be awesome. And H, since you liked this one, maybe you could collaborate with E...or do your own version. Either way. I mean...just if yall want to. I don't wanna sound like I'm being egotistical like "everyone wants to record my lyrics!" haha. Yeah, like I said, just if yall want to.

Also, a little pointless information...this is my 150th song/poem posted in this section. What does that mean? Absolutely nothing, haha. But I'm kinda proud of myself...and super grateful to everyone that ever took the time to read and comment on something of mine. I'm more thankful than I could ever say. =)

Wow, 150th? Damn, that's incredible. And I thought me having 25ish songs was something crazy, haha.


Well B, Harrison and I have a collaborative band now called Toke and Lust (www.myspace.com/tokeandlustmusic) and as soon as H gets a computer and I get what H records with so I can record well sounding shit and it's easier, we're going to be recording some stuff, and I think H would agree that we'd love to do some of your stuff.

He's actually working on your song Better Days I believe. And I already have music to How Can You. You'll just have to wait until we get it recorded! =P

Toke and Lust...I like that. Great name. And yeah, that sounds awesome. Thanks so much again.

Thanks. I came up with it awhile ago, and finally through it out at H and he liked it and we went with it. Raina doesn't like it though, haha. But, I do.

But man, you don't need to thank us at all. We thank you. We thank you for writing the lyrics you do, sharing them with us, and allowing us to put music to your beautiful amazing lyrics. It's an honor, and we love being able to do it.

Aww...well, that's really nice of you to say E. But I'm still super thankful to you and H and Kyle too for thinking my lyrics would be worth recording. For real. It means a hell of a lot to me. End of story. Haha.

And how could anyone not like the name Toke and Lust? Haha. That name rules. I bet you guys would get a lot of groupies. =)

Fuckin' incredible Brian!! And I can relate as well...awesome!!

Thank ya so much Jason. I really appreciate it. =)

mmmmmm...groupies

Sounds like you've had groupies before, H. haha.

By the way, good to see you back...I was wondering why you weren't around yesterday.

i was out of town for the weekend. back now till friday but then i'll be out for about a week and a half

So, you'll be away from the board for a week and a half? Wow. Well, I hope it's a fun trip for you. If I don't talk to you before then, take care man.

Yeah, I'm going on a cruise with my family. I may be able to stop in every once in a while (my brother said the ship has internet access....which completely blows my mind)...but if that's the case, then I'll probably check in.

I'm sure we'll hear from each other more this week. I think I'm gonna post some lyrics sometime this afternoon

The ships do have internet access. It's kind of expensive, but it's not terribly bad. You just have to go on the internet knowing what you're doing and do it quick, cause you pay for a certain amount of hours.
