the saddest song, part 4

I deliberately avoided the question. Even now, I have to fight the urge not to answer it. I keep twitching... It's the first time I have not told the complete truth as soon as I knew it, the first time I have with-held information. It stings a little. I console myself that the truth is known, it is just in denial.

Hard choices for the list today, audioslave and pearl jam both have heart breaking moments. I thought about Like a stone but...

Doesn't remind me - Audioslave
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything


Choosing a Pearl Jam song was shockingly hard. I came down to wishlist, nothingman and elderly women behind a counter in a small town. but in the end

Nothingman - Pearl Jam
once divided...nothing left to subtract...
some words when spoken...can't be taken back...
walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...


Thank you for the contributions, they are going on the list.
