Drinking Change For Contentment?

Massive project with rose.

Story/Play/Musical based on our lives

accompanied by songs by death cab for cutie.

Based on all true events.

i'm not really sure of who ACTUALLY reads this.

so all names have been changed to colours for protection.

some secrets are meant to stay secrets.



Got a good amount of the songs done.

Dialogue to come shortly.



The New Year

Purple:
So this is the new year

And I don't feel any different

The clanking of crystal

Explosions off in the distance (In the distance)



Pink:

So this is the new year

And I have no resolutions

For self-assigned penance

For problems with easy solutions



Purple:

So everybody put your best suit or dress on

Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once

Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn

As thirty dialogues bleed into one



Red:

I wish the world was flat like the old days

Then I could travel just by folding a map

No more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways

There'd be no distance that can hold us back

There'd be no distance that could hold us back

There'd be no distance that could hold us back



Purple:

So this is the new year

Pink:

So this is the new year

Red:

So this is the new year

Red,Pink & Purple

So this is the new year



Tiny Vessels


Pink talking to Black
This is the moment that you know

That you told her that you loved her, but you don't

You touch her skin and then you think

That she is beautiful, but she don't mean a thing to me

Yeah, she is beautiful, but she don't mean a thing to me


Red talking to Purple

I spent two weeks in Silver Lake

The California sun cascading down my face

There was a girl with light brown streaks

And she was beautiful, but she didn't mean a thing to me

Yeah, she was beautiful, but she didn't mean a thing to me


Black talking to pink

I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking

As we moved together in the dark

And all the friends that I was telling

And all the playful misspellings

And every bite I gave you left a mark


Red & Black

As tiny vessels oozed into your neck

And formed the bruises

That you said you didn't want to fade

But they did and so did I that day


Purple:

All I see are dark gray clouds

In the distance, moving closer with every hour

So when you'd ask, "Is something wrong?"

I'd think, "You're damn right there is But we can't talk about it now

No, we can't talk about it now"


Red

So one last touch and then you'll go
Purple

And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
Pink

But it was vile, and it was cheap
Black

And you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me
Red

Yeah, you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me
Black and Red

Yeah, you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me



Lack Of Colour



Purple About Black
And when I see you

I really see you upside down

But my brain knows better

It picks you up and turns you around

Turns you aroundTurns you around


Red About Yellow

If you feel discouraged

When there's a lack of color here

Please don't worry lover

It's really bursting at the seams

Absorbing everything

The spectrum's A to Z


Red and Pink

This is fact, not fiction

For the first time in years

All the girls in every girlie magazine

Can't make me feel any less alone

I'm reaching for the phone


Pink and Red

To call at 7:03

And on your machine, I slur a plea

For you to come home

But I know it's too late

I should have given you a reason to stay

Given you a reason to stay

Given you a reason to stay

Given you a reason to stay


Pink

This is fact, not fiction

For the first time in years...



Passenger Seat



Pink And Purple
I roll the window down

And then begin to breathe in

The darkest country road

And the strong scent of evergreen

From the passenger seat as you are driving me home


Then looking upwards

I strain my eyes

And try to tell the difference

Between shooting stars and satellites

From the passenger seat as you are driving me home



"Do they collide?"

I ask and you smile

With my feet on the dash

The world doesn't matter


Pink

When you feel embarrassed then I'll be your pride

Purple
When you need directions then I'll be the guide

Pink and Purple
For all time

For all time


A Movie Script Ending

Blue
Whenever I come back

The air on Railroad is making the same sounds

And the shop fronts on Holly are dirty words(Asterisks in for the vowels)

We peered through the windows

New bottoms on barstools

But the people remain the same

With prices inflating, inflating


Black about blue

As if saved from the gallows

There's a bellow of buzzers

And the people stop working

And they're all so excited, excited


Black about blue

Passing through unconscious states

When I awoke I was on the highway

Highway, highway, highway


Black about blue

With your hand on my shoulders

A meaningless movement

A movie script ending

And the patrons are leaving, leaving


Black about blue

Passing through unconscious states

When I awoke I was on the highway

Highway, highway, highway

Highway, highway, highway, highway


Black about blue

Now we all know the words were true

In the sappiest songs, yes, yes

I'll put them to bed, but they won't sleep

They're just shuffling the sheets

They toss and turn (You can't begin to get it back)


Black about blue

Passing through unconscious states

When I awoke I was on

The onset of a later stage

The headlights are beacons on the highway

Highway, highway, highway

Highway, highway, highway, highway



Crooked Teeth

Pink
It was 100 degrees as we sat beneath a willow tree

Whose tears didn't care, they just hung in the air

And refused to fall, to fall

I knew I'd made a horrible call

And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall

And there was no doubt about which side I was on


Pink

Because I built you a home in my heart

With rotten wood that decayed from the start


Purple

Because you can't find nothing at all

If there was nothing there all along

No, you can't find nothing at all

If there was nothing there all along


Purple

I braved treacherous streets

And kids strung out on homemade speed

And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep

At all, woo hoo, woo hoo oo oo hoo

At night, the sun in retreat

Made the skyline look like crooked teeth

In the mouth of a man who was devouring us both

You're so cute when you're slurring your speech

But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave


Black

And you can't find nothing at all

If there was nothing there all along

No, you can't find nothing at all

If there was nothing there all along

I'm a war of head versus heart

And it's always this way

My head is weak, my heart always speaks

Before I know what it will say


Orange

Because you can't find nothing at all

If there was nothing there all along

No, you can't find nothing at all

If there was nothing there all along

There were churches, theme parks and malls

There was nothing there all along



Your Heart Is An Empty Room

Purple to Pink
Burn it down

Until the embers smoke on the ground

And start new when your heart is an empty room

With walls of the deepest blue


Purple to Pink

Home's face, how it ages when you're away

The spring blooms

Then you find the love that's true

But you don't know what now to do

Because the chase is all you know

And he stopped running months ago


Purple to Pink

And all you see

Is where else you could be

When you're at home

And out on the street

Are so many possibilities

To not be alone


Red to yellow

Flames and smoke

Climbed out of every window

And disappeared

With everything that you held dear

But you shed not a single tear

For the things that you didn't need

Because you knew you were finally free


Red to yellow

And all you see

Is where else you could be

When you're at home

And out on the street

Are so many possibilities

To not be alone


Red to yellow

And all you see

Is where else you could be

When you're at home

And out on the street

Are so many possibilities

To not be alone


Pink and yellow

And there on the street

Are so many possibilities

To not be alone


What Sarah Said

Red
And it came to me then

That every plan is a tiny prayer to Father Time

As I stared at my shoes in the ICU

That reeked of piss and 409

And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself

That I'd already taken too much today

As each descending peak on the LCD

Took you a little farther away from me

Away from me


Pink

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines

In a place where we only say goodbye

It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend

On a faulty camera in our minds

But I knew that you were a truth

I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all

And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground

As the TV entertained itself


Red And Pink

Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room

Just nervous paces bracing for bad news

Then the nurse comes around and everyone lifts their head

But I'm thinking of what Sarah said

That love is watching someone die


Black
So who's going to watch you die
Blue
So who's going to watch you die
Green
So who's going to watch you die
Orange
So who's going to watch you die
Yellow
So who's going to watch you die
Pink
So who's going to watch you die
Red
So who's going to watch you die
