Survive

Bags under my eyes are the symbols of a good time. No time to sleep, eat lights on the street, make the screams last forever, see the sounds and taste the leather. The music makes the brain pulse, and the heart stop, and the body convulse.

Last night I attended the Lady Gaga concert, it was phenomenal. The opening act (Semi Precious Weapons) was flamboyant, loud, and sassy, their famously quoted lyric stuck in my head as I write this "I can't pay my rent, but I'm f****ing gorgeous!"
But the Lady herself, she is an amazing performer. She belts out her songs like its her last night on Earth, he dancers are beautiful, her musicians are incredible, and the set and costumes are so unique and edgy that I can't help but to be entranced. Although her music has gone mainstream, she keeps the individuality and personality of herself alive.

My friend Jake is in yet another band, he tells me this one seems promising, he plus a "prodigy drummer" and a musician from East Coast Drive will be the initial make up. I lent him my talents and wrote a song for them, or rather, lyrics to an instrumental he had written on the computer. I hope he likes it.

This is for all of the kids out there who are like me.

I'm a weird girl with my boots and messy hair
I was an outcast, didn't ask to be there
we're all a little weird
compared to the rest
but you're all rockstars
I should know best

Long nails and pastel colors
aren't for me
perfect smiles and pretty lips
possibly
cries for attention
for all to see

that's not me
thats not me

bit nails and black clothes
that's me
showing teeth and screaming

The scars and bite marks
go to show I've earned this part
right here

Think with your c***s
make your mama proud
show how hard you rock
so f***ing loud
take all those insecurities
put them behind you
show up all those a** h***s
who said you wouldn't do

I-Want-To-See-Their-Faces
The-Ones-Who-Scream
I-Want-You-To-Do-the-Same
Scream-Your-Name
No-More-Shame

Sorry for the explicit content, but some rock just deserves the passion. Music is my next life goal, I want to be on a stage, singing and dancing in front of a crowd that roars, a crowd of people that need the release and the excitement. I want to be up there and spread my messages, to be king of your own world.

ON ANOTHER NOTE I have finished my short! Hannah was a great actress, she can capture emotion as well as being conscious of stage direction and hitting marks. I'm excited to see if I place in the contest... I am also excited for her to see it, she has been asking and now I shall have the finished product for her!
YAY.
