Karaoke Wars, Episode II...
[i did a rendition of Lifehouse's Breathing at the Maple Leaf on Sat., along w/ the Gin Blossoms' Hey Jealousy. both got poppin' feedback fr. the audience, but w/ Breathing i truly felt my soul flying free, and they loved the display. it made my jaded self realize how people really do need Him, that people are broken w/out Him, despite the sad reality that it often times isn't outwardly evident. and i'll be the 1st to admit, i'm a frontin' cat just like Pharrell W. in this f****d up world, thriving on its terms is a breeze if you can put it up correct. i can only pray that i don't find myself continually falling into that trap. but because of laziness, self-maximizing, or what have you, i end up doing just that. it's a vicious cycle, and it's only by the arms of grace that i'm bailed out of it, eternally embraced.]
i've found a long way back to sanity again
though I don't really know what I'm gonna do
when I get there...
take a breath and hold on tight
and spin around one more time
and gracefully fall back to the arms of grace...
'cause i'm hanging on every word you say
and even if you don't wanna speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me
'cause I want nothing more
than to sit outside Heaven's door
and listen to you breathingit's where i wanna be, yeah...
where i wanna be...
i'm looking past the shadows in my mind
into the truth?...
trying to identify the voices in my head
God, i wish it were you...
let me feel one more time what it
feels like to feel... and break these callouses off of me one more time
'cause i'm hanging on every word you say
and even if you don't wanna speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me
'cause i want nothing more
than to sit outside your door
and listen to you breathing
it's where i wanna be...
i don't want a thing from you
i bet you're tired of me...
waiting for the scratch to fall off
your table to the ground...
'cause i just wanna be here now...
'cause i'm hanging on every word you say
and even if you don't wanna speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me
'cause I want nothing more
than to sit outside Heaven's door
and listen to you breathing
it's where I wanna be...
where I wanna be...

Karaoke bug...
[belted out a rendition of Green Day's BBD last night at Bellevue's Maple Leaf that got the audience rockin'. pretty exhilarating...]
i walk a lonely road
the only one that i have ever known
don't know where it goes
but its home to me and i walk alone
i walk this empty street
on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
when the city sleeps
and i'm the only one and i walk alone
i walk alone
i walk alone
i walk alone
i walk a...
my shadow's only one that walks beside me
my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
sometimes i wish someone out there will find me
'til then i walk alone
ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah...
i'm walkin' down the line
that divides me somewhere in my mind
on the border line
of the edge and where i walk alone
read between the lines
what's f****d up and everything's alright
check my vital signs
and know i'm still alive and i walk alone
i walk alone
i walk alone
i walk alone
i walk a...
my shadow's only one that walks beside me
my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
sometimes i wish someone out there will find me
'til then i walk alone
ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah...
i walk alone
i walk a...
i walk this empty street
on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
when the city sleeps
and i'm the only one and i walk a...
my shadow's only one that walks beside me
my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
sometimes i wish someone out there will find me
'til then i walk alone...
