Today was technically the last day of school. uhh good fuckin' riddance I cant wait till it is offically done. I hope that I made the decent amount of acquaintences for the summer. I hope the summer doesn't go by too quick. I dont want to keep talking about the summer because then ill vision it & ive come to kind of learn that if i visions arent very good to me. haha

So today I was looking at some Less Than Jake songs because i always kind of liked them but never REALLY got to love them. I downloaded the song "The Science of Selling Yourself Short" because their sound in that song is just my favorite. So I contacted my "boi"Jimmy Johnson and he suggested: The Science of Selling yourself Short; All my BFF's are Metal Heads && The Rest of my Life.

Let me sharee and hopefully you can see what i see in them.


Less Than Jake - The Science of Selling Yourself Short


I've come to my senses,
That I've become senseless,
I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships,
Every last conviction, I smoked them all away,
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self-esteems,

[Chorus:]
I'll sing along,
Yeah with every emergency,
Just sing along,
I'm the king of catastrophies,
I'm so far gone,
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me,
I'm my own worst enemy

I could be an expert on co-dependency,
I could write the best book on underage tragedy,
I've been spending my time at the local liquor store,
I've been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
I'm so over dosed on apathy and burnt out on sympathy

[Chorus]

Let the meaning slip away
Lost my faith in another day,
Self deprication seems okay,
I never thought I'd make it anyway

[Chorus]

I'm my own worst enemy [x5]




you dont hear this part in the video
(VOICE OVER (this is a fair request and i promise i will not
judge any person only as a teenager.
if you will constantly remind
yourself that some of my generation
judges people by their race, their belief, or the
coulor of their skin
and that this is no more right than saying all teenagers
are drunken dope addicts or glue sniffers)

Do you think it's strange
that there's a way of how you look and,
how you act, and how you think
and pretend they're not the same as you (x2)

Do you know about his strength in convictions
or how she puts all her faith in religion
Did we take the time
to really discover how little we know about each other?

Keep us from saying anything
can't separate from everything.
Yet all this really means
you're one in a crowd and you're paranoid of every sound
another friend you won't miss anyhow

I fell asleep last Saturday
Underneath polluted skies
I walked alone on those Jersey nights, and I
Saw the boardwalk start to fall
The emptiness starts to drown
The quiet corners of this town, and I...
Late last night, I made my plans
It was the only thing I felt I could do
Said goodbye, to my best friend
Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth

It's gonna kill me... The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life

This is my all time low
Somehow it feels so familiar
Somehow it seems so familiar
I feel like letting go
And every second that goes by
I'm screaming out for a second try
Said goodbye, to my best friend
Sometimes there's no one left to tell me the truth

It's gonna kill me... The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
I've got to live with them rest of my life

This is the mess I've made
These are the words I can't erase
This is my life support, shutting down, for the final time
And it twists like a blade
And kills me for the rest of my life

If you won't forgive me
The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life...
