December

• I make the same mistakes, I make the same mistakes
  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frDUZGd3vwM
• I could be sleeping, I could be dead oh, I could feel regretful I'll be grateful instead, I could crawl up a mountain or run on the spot, I could hate what I have instead of loving what I got, oh. I could be everything or nothing at all, it's clear now, it's always been my call. So I'm keeping it together maybe long enough to hold on, I'm keeping it together maybe long enough to trust, I'm keeping it together maybe long enough to have faith, I'm keeping it together maybe all day if I must. I could be jealous or insecure, I could contaminate myself or work at staying pure, I could crawl up a willow tree or wallow in dread, I could make a permanent pen pal with the chatter in my head, oh. ...Should the sky fall, well I'll build a scaffold.
  • U.S.S.,"K.I.T."
• Remember the days when your laughter was meant. Remember the days when you did what you said. You're counting the days til you can get high again. Chill out, be easy on yourself until then.
  • U.S.S., "Yo Hello Hooray"

November

• We're all the things that we do for fun/and I breathe, and it goes/play along
  • Lorde, "Buzzcut Season"
• But if you close your eyes does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?/and if you close your eyes does it almost feel like you've been here before?/how am I gonna be an optimist about this?/how am I gonna be an optimist about this?
  • this
• If you love me let me go/because these words are knives and often leave scars/the fear, the fear of falling apart
  • Panic! at the Disco, "This is Gospel"
• And I'm just gonna lie here until something comes and finds me, oh
  • Ani DiFranco, "Life Boat"
• Well you told me about nowhere, well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go.../oh, we talked about nothing which was more than I wanted you to know
  • Modest Mouse, "Dashboard"
• You make me feel like a shooting star. You make me feel like a porno star. You hold me closer still when I get paranoid. You give your hand to hold when I lose control. You're like my compass and we always find our way. You bring your smile and wipe away my shitty day. This sudden alchemy has got me holding on. Stand by auxiliary, signal's holding strong.
  • U.S.S., "Pornostartrek"

October

• Mercury's in retrograde, my mercury's in retrograde.../this is not the time, the time to start a new love/This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
  • Bloc Party, "Mercury"
    • this is not the time to do anything at all
• I'm my own stone around my neck.
  • Brand New, "Millstone"
• I didn't ask for this pain, it just came over me.../I was solid gold, I was in the fight, I was coming back from what seemed like a ruin.../You didn't see me, I was falling apart/I was a television version of a person with a broken heart
  • The National, "Pink Rabbits"

September

• So this is the new year/and I don't feel any different

  • Bright Eyes, "Beginner's Mind"
• It's too fucking easy/make me skin and bones/I'm always on my knees for you
  • Marianas Trench, "Skin and Bones"
• I don't ever want to talk that way again, I don't want to know people like that anymore... I don't want to see the world that way anymore, I don't want to feel that weak and insecure
  • Against Me!, "Black Me Out"
• Wait til I get my head on, wait til I get my head on straight
  • Matthew Good, "Via Dolorosa"
• shit what it's almost october?

August

• The universe is shaped exactly like the Earth/if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were/well the universe is shaped exactly like the Earth
  • Modest Mouse, "3rd Planet"
• We were hoping for some romance/all we found was more despair/we must talk about our problems/we are in a state of flux
  • Bloc Party, "Flux"
• I keep coming back to this song again and again
