"I look for a fire door. An escape from the drums and barking"

something I wish someone had told me a few years back:
Either go to school or get a job that has advancement opportunities.
But start now.
Right now.
Do something!

Either you will have a degree or (hopefully) be in a decent work position 10yrs down the road.

Currently in a position of neither.
 kinda sucks.

well that's my life. Pretty dang exciting.



Frightened Rabbit - The Woodpile


Far from the electric floor
Removed from the red meat market
I look for a fire door
An escape from the drums and barking
Bereft of all social charms
Struck dumb by the hand of fear
I fall into the corner's arms
The same way that I've done for years

I'm trapped in a collapsing building
Come find me now, where I hide and
We'll speak in our secret tongues
So will you come back to my corner?
Spent too long alone tonight
Would you come brighten my corner?
A lit torch to the woodpile (aye)

Dead wood waits to ignite
There's no spark on a dampened floor
A snapped limb in an unlit pyre
Won't you come and break down this door?

I'm trapped in an abandoned building
Come find me now, where I hide and
We'll speak in our secret tongues
So will you come back to my corner?
Spent too long alone tonight

Would you come brighten my corner?
A lit torch to the woodpile (aye)
Come find me now, where I hide and
We'll speak in our secret tongues
