splitter: song for a friend

emo times calls for desperate measures.
and an emo song can sooth the emo soul.

The Blues by Switchfoot
Is this the new year or just another night?
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
Is this a new tear or just another desperation?

Is this the finger or just another fist?
Is this the kingdom or just a hit and miss?
I miss direction most in all this desperation

Is this what they call freedom
Is this what you call pain
Is this what they call discontented fame
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in

I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
For broken hearts and broken noses in the back
Is this the new year or just another desperation?

You push until you're shoving
You bend until you break
Do you stand on the broken fields where your fathers lay?
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in

Is there nothing here worth saving?
Is there no one here at all?
Is there any net left that could break our fall?
It'll be a day like this one when the sky falls down
and the hungry and poor and deserted are found

Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard?
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in

Is there nothing left now, nothing left to sing
Are there any left who haven't kissed the enemy
Is the new year or just another desperation

Does justice ever find you?
Do the wicked never lose?
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues
And nothing is okay until the world caves in
Until the world caves in, until the world caves in...


song was the coda of 3x12 or 3x13 of OTH, when keith returned from i forgot where.
but it's just like the omen. and we all knew what happened on 3x16.

god. i miss OTH.
