I know a place we could go where you'll fall in love so hard that you wish you were dead

Some of the best lyrics ever written in my opinion.
Be Safe
Spoken word by Lee Ronaldo
one of those fucking awful black days when nothing is pleasing and everything that happens is an excuse for anger
an outlet for emotions stockpiled
an arsenal
an armor
these are the days when I hate the world
hate the rich
hate the happy
hate the complacent
the tv watchers, beer drinkers, the satisfied ones
because I know I can be all those little hateful things and then I hate myself for realizing that
there is no preventative, directive, or safe approach for living
we each know our own faith
we know from our youth how to be treated and how we'll be received and how we shall end
these things don't change
you can change your clothes, change your hairstyle, your friends, cities, continents
but sooner or later your old self will always catch up
always it waits in the wings
(Ideas swirl but don't stick.
They appear but then run off like rain on the windshield.)
one of those rainy day car rides
my head imploded
the atmosphere in this car a mirror of my skull
wet, damp, windows dripping and misted with cold
walls of gray
nothing good on the radio
not a thought in my head
an arsenal
an armor
these are the days when I hate the world
hate the rich
hate the happy
hate the complacent
the tv watchers, beer drinkers, the satisfied ones
because I know I can be all those little hateful things and then I hate myself for realizing that
there is no preventative, directive, or safe approach for living
we each know our own faith
we know from our youth how to be treated and how we'll be received and how we shall end
these things don't change
you can change your clothes, change your hairstyle, your friends, cities, continents
but sooner or later your old self will always catch up
always it waits in the wings
(Ideas swirl but don't stick.
They appear but then run off like rain on the windshield.)
one of those rainy day car rides
my head imploded
the atmosphere in this car a mirror of my skull
wet, damp, windows dripping and misted with cold
walls of gray
nothing good on the radio
not a thought in my head
let's take life and slow it down incredibly slow
frame by frame
like two minutes that take ten years to live out
yeah, let's do that
frame by frame
like two minutes that take ten years to live out
yeah, let's do that

Spoken word interspersed with a heavy chorus done by The Cribs makes for some interesting listening. The lyrics are actually 5 times longer but maybe it's better to just listen to the rest
Also... GOD DAMNIT I'M CAPPED ALREADY @#*$
but on the bright side of things, I finished all my exams and everything feels a bit lighter. University seems to be the least of my problems at the moment though :/
