depression

i'm in depression today
my heart is hurting
sinking
and staying there
it is not going away only
what to do?

Thursday, October 26, 2006

who's the judge?

Sudden start
Things are slow
You're watching all these speeding cars
Moving like you wish you could
But oh, it's too bad
Cos they drove away your happiness and good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay

Sad eyes
You are the only one whose blue skies are grey
So don't cry
You'll be the only one to make them go
away

You're so young
And so bored
You are staying now till late cos he was what your husband hated
But oh, it's too bad
Cos he has stolen now all your happiness and good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay

Sad eyes
You are the only one whose blue skies are grey
So don't cry
You'll be the only one to make them go away
Yeah you could make them go away

It took a lot of tears
But oh, you had to find those
Sympathetic years
The ones you left behind him (x2)

But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay

Sad eyes
You are the only one whose blue skies are grey
So don't cry
You'll be the only one to make them go away (x2)

Things are gonna go away
Yeah they're gonna go your way
All about to go your way

acrylic amla (lies all lies)

it's official then. i didn't get the visa.
insufficient funds they say. fucking bureaucrats.
i had 90% given up hope when mr. kakaria said it is difficult.
i should have come earlier. i should have done this. i should have done that.

what i should really do is open a travel agency!

happy monsoons!

Now at last I know
What a fool I've been
For I've lost the last love
I shall ever win

And/Now at last I see
How my heart was blind
To the joys before me
That I left behind

When the wind was fresh
On the hills
And the stars were new in the sky
And a lark was heard in the still
Where was I
Where was I

When the spring is cold
Where do robins go
What makes winters lonely
Now at last I know

When the wind was fresh
On the hills
And the stars were new in the sky
And a lark was heard in the still
Where was I
Where was I

When the spring is cold
Where do robins go
What makes winters lonely
Now at last I know

superman

i never thought they'd break up
never ever

--
I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird...i’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd...but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It’s all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy...or anything...

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
I’m only a man
Looking for a dream

I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...

Its not easy to be me

lu-lulu-lucs-luci-luca-kitter

we got her cat. her name is luca.
we got her three days ago.
she was sick but is getting better.
they say she was abandoned. i really hope she really was.

dear luca's mother,

we have luca. we feed her cat food. and gave her medicine. and lots of milk.
we almost treat her like she is human.
how is it that you cared for her?

i wish i could be her kitten friend instead of her human friend. i have a lot of questions. for example, is it the same for a cat living with humans as a human living with cats. the same lonliness i mean. and at what age should we find her other cat friends? and if she's domesticated, will she survive on her own a few months from now, if she's stronger?

do reply soon.

love,
j

I hate glaring back at people who glare at me in trains.

Why is it that when people write about gay people, or even portray them in films, one of the first things they show is anal sex. Does it always have to be about the sex, whether glorified or looked down upon? Is it that hard to think beyond? To think of love, perhaps?

Ok. I’m in. 100%. No fudging. I swear.

grab

living in bombay is like living like a dog
finding a patch of sand on a cement road

happy v day

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you’re my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don’t change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentine’s day

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don’t you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentine’s day

the ground beneath her feet (acoustic)

All my life, I worshipped her
Her golden voice, her beauty's beat
How she made me feel, how she made us real
And the ground beneath her feet
And the ground beneath her feet

And now I can't be sure of anything
Black is white and cold is heat
For what I worshipped stole my love away
It was the ground beneath her feet
It was the ground beneath her feet

Go lightly down your darkened way
Go lightly underground
I'll be down there in another day
I won't rest until you're found

Let me love you, let me rescue you
Let me bring you where two roads meet
Oh come back above
Where there is only love
Only love...

—U2

homesick

why is it that i love her more when i'm alone with her
in a crowd, she, she sometimes loses her magic

to be together
to not compete

those are my current dreams
