Tonight i was trying to read pt. 1 and 2

from This Could Mean Trouble, You Don't Speak For The Club by Drew Danburry

/

about

the full song title is "Tonight i was trying to read and everyone was watching TV of some sort and I realized I not only was being sucked into the vacuous drama on screen but I was frustrated by the juvenile behavior of the portrayed characters. And I was frustrated because they weren't listening or communicating, and I realized they weren't allowed to communicate, they had to act juvenile. Because I was watching drama on television and all drama requires miscommunication and very selfish and juvenile behavior. And if anyone saw a program where people actually communicated their thoughts and feelings openly then it'd probably be boring. But since TV is what teaches some people (if not most people) how to behave and act. I worry for this planet...pt. 1 and 2"

lyrics

Friend I'll ride with you through any storm
I know you can't always be happy, but I think you can do more.
So try not to hang yourself up as just a prize
Don't sell yourself so short as eyes or wear a fake disguise
Alisa, I'll be your dear brother for all time
and though our names may never rhyme, we'll all be doing fine

I have so much I want to tell you, about this trip home.
I think I'm confused, or at least I don't know
but for now let me tell you
that there was music
and sighs
and tears
and books
and night drives
and whispers
and hugs
and eyes
and terms of endearment
and shaking
and shaking
and shaking...
