Lyrics: Take it all back


Can you take back the night that we first kissed
It'll be one less moment to be missed
Can you unsay words that made me melt
I wanna forget the way it felt
(How great it felt)

To fall for you. I fell too soon
You know, you went away
But the memories stayed
Just take it
Take it all back

Would you please erase those mushy texts
Could we unhave all that dirty sex
I'll act as though you're just some guy
While you pretend I never saw you cry
(I never tried)


To fall for you. I fell too soon
You know, you went away
But the memories stayed
Just take it
Take it all back

Let's you and me go back
Way back before this trip began
I'm sorta tripping, stumbling
Trying to regain my story but
Your chapters flood my pages
Can't rip them out
The pictures are just too damn pretty

I would not help
I could not help

But to fall for you. I fell too soon
You know, you went away
But the memories stayed
Just take it
Take it all back

Let's undo and go back
(Just take it all back)
Please leave me and erase your memory
(Take it all back)

Lyrics: "I'm Coming To You, This Time"

A song based on a line from "Almost Famous"


To Russel, From Penny. 





Climb in here with me. Away 
From lights that blind your pretty eyes
Its warm in here, the quiet shade. 
An aid to help us sleep at night.

No rocking back and forth. The road's 
No place to rest your head
You call that box on wheels a home. 
But no one shares your bed.

I've made a fort of cigarettes 
And coffee cups to get us started.
The smell alone, instant regrets.
But reminiscent of when we last parted.

I was a little bit tipsy.
You were a little bit 'quiet soul'.
You said your chicken was shitty ,
So I offered some of my casserole. 

Chorus: 
**
I'd travel the world for 
Precious moments spent with you
Yet all you need is here, my darling fool.
And I won't move again, 
These feet stay put until you're mine.
When you sing "I'm coming to you, this time"
**

We measure time like no one else 
I know. It comes as no surprise. 
The two of us,  sad wishing wells. 
Just tossing pennies from the skies. 

How many places have we seen
Through two apposing points of view?
And when you're gone, does it just mean
Your feelings ride that plane with you,
Out of my life again?

Chorus: 
**
I'd travel the world for 
Precious moments spent with you
Yet all you need is here, my darling fool.
And I won't move again, 
These feet stay put until you're mine.
When you sing "I'm coming to you, this time"
**

Poem: "Little piece of heart for you"

(No title, just some words)

I need a parachute baby
I'm fallin
And I see no end in sight
Catch me if you will
Let me fall into those arms
Lest I crash, burning at your feet
And I will still kiss the ground you walk on.

San Diego Comic Con 2010

Claudio Sanchez and I at the con
I can't believe I managed to make it out to SDCC this year. Every year I try, and every year I fail, muttering to myself (sigh, maybe next time). And this time it happened! Thanks to my good friend Matt Melvin of Cyanide and Happiness, I was able to get a badge and fly out last minute to join him and many others at the biggest comic book convention EVER!
I ended up flying out alone, and truth be told, I was expecting the experience to be only sub par since I was going to be alone in a new place. However, as soon as I got on my plane, I knew the entire weekend was going to be perfect. Which it was.

The first event that promised good fortune on my trip was the plane ride itself. I ended up sitting next to a nice young lad from England who was at the con for work. We spoke the entire flight and became friends! If that wasn't enough, add realizing Claudio Sanchez and wife Chondra Echert were on the same flight as me! (I spotted them at baggage claim! I said nothing..lol)

Mr. Sanchez, Chonny, Blaze and Miki strike a pose!
I arrive at my hotel and it's BEAUTIFUL! They were ten minutes late in preparing my room so they upgraded me to the business suite with a view of the marina, Sea World (which held fireworks every night), the tropical little forest and pool (WITH WATER SLIDES) in the backyard, all to be seen from my balcony. It was amazing. And the Con hadn't even started!

When it does start, I arrive and meet the wonderful Miki (fellow coheed fan and street team member), Chris Burham (artist for Amory Wars, mentioned in previous posts), Blaze James (Coheed Manager and great human being I have yet to meet until now, after knowing him for over a year..lol) and the entire Boom! Studios gang (Claud, Chonny, Mr. Sheldon, Peter David)
To add a tasty cherry to the mix, my amazing friend Amanda was able to come up from long beach and stay with me for half the trip.
Chris Burnham and Peter David
The entire thing was just more than I could ever imagine. The life and energy at this event was something I will always find so invigorating. In a way, I found myself wishing I had the company of certain people when I was out there, some one to share the adventure with. But on the other hand, I was glad I ventured across the country on my own. I was able to fully appreciate the experience and had the freedom to meet up with all these amazing people who were just waiting to have a good time!



Now, I can go on and on about the wonderful things I experienced, but to sum up:

I had an AMAZING time at the Boom! Studios after party with the gang
I finally met someone I have so much respect for and have been wanting to meet for a while
I spent some time with great new friends and got to see my good good friend Amanda <3
I had a conversation interrupted by Gerard Way (I'm not mad at all.lol)
I saw AMAZING PANELS
I saw AMAZING COSTUMES
I Got A TON OF COMIC BOOKS/POSTERS/TOYS
I took A BUTTLOAD OF PHOTOS!



It was just, perfect.....
