Tighten Up

Anguish and frustration. How nice. To the song of "Tighten Up" by the Black Keys.

I wanted love, I needed love

Another long day in school. Final test in the morning, Piano in the evening.

Most of all, most of all..

I owe a report and 2 tutorials. Better get them cleared out.

Someone said "True Love" was dead

AND there's Valentines, to which I am quite allergic to. Which coincidentally falls on a prime study period. No guesses on how I will spend it, studying again.

but I'm bound to fall

Yeah, I'm falling, no doubt. To a bunch of components I can crush. Oh, what makes them so tiny and yet so mind boggling at the same time?

Bound to fall for you

And another is the Microprocessor. Looks simple. I regret opening it up to study the programs. 

Oh what can I do?

Nothing. Absolutely Nothing.

Take my badge, but my heart remains

I hope I don't screw up this semester again. I've been trying very hard to do things one at a time, and if that REALLY happens, I don't know what I'll do to punish myself.

Loving you, baby child..

I want a break. Neither does my brain run at 1000 horsepower.

Tighten up on your reigns, you're running wild.

On a good day its 250. If you are very lucky, 500. Sometimes I can't even get it to start up. 

Running wild, it's true.

 *repeat to self: I am a wild spirit* Keep repeating.

Sick for days, so many ways

 There must be something wrong with my head. 

I'm aching now, I'm aching now

1) Large group of text look like a bunch of squiggly lines.

It's times like these, I need relief.

2) I only remember the pictures. Added bonus if they are in color. 

Please show me how, oh show me how..

3) I cannot recall anything I did beyond studying. I can't mentally check off a checklist.

To get right ..

4) I am half awake/half asleep

Yeah it's all the side

Ah yes, we all remember. How to torture yourself by studying/being heartbroken/voluntarily.

When I was young, and moving fast,

On skates, as usual.

Nothing slowed me down, ooh slowed me down.

I fell on the middle of the road. Scraped my knee and nearly twisted my wrist. Yeah, nothing slows me down.

Now I let the others pass

A gut tells me I'm gonna trip again. And land flat on my face and everyone will step on my body, like a bathmat. 

I've come around, oh come around.

I'm still waiting for the timing for that to happen. Once during common test. 

Cause I found.

If you still remember, that is. 

Living just to keep going

I wanna see how far I can go this time.

Going just to be sane.

Enough mental arsenal. A pity I don't have real ones.

All the while I know

I'm still waiting for my hands to bleed for writing too much. Like real that's gonna happen. 

It's such a shame

I don't know just what I can do now.

I don't anekatips need to get steady

For now, Sit back and enjoy.

I know just what to feel.

Telling me to be ready, my dear
