would it kill you to breathe?

Thick as Thieves -- Dashboard Confessional

Would it kill you to breathe?
Easy only 17 miles lay between you and me
I could make it if I had to
I don't break easily
You've got my counsel, thick as thieves
If there's a crime we'll keep it secret
For there's only trace amounts left in your blood
You may be a sinner
But you may be justified

Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

Will it kill me to breathe
Not as easy as you think it is between you and me
I could fake it if I have to
I don't break easily
I need your counsel, thick as thieves
I have no crime to keep a secret
It was hers, it was not mine
Well I may be a sinner
But it wasn't me this time

Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

Listen to yourself
There is a hemorrhage in your mouth
It won't stop bleeding
Well you may be the traitor
I will hold the smoking gun
You'll get away clean
I'll keep your secrets til the grave has swallowed me
And I will never tell a tortured soul they are burning by my side
That I am a sinner
I am a savior
I am a lie

So keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

Back from starving myself for 30 hours and paying 20 dollars for that to happen. Well, I've got to admit that if not for the fact that such a camp existed, it wouldn't ever have happened. It was fun, definitely. Could criticise many area of the camp, but if you look at the sheer numbers of students (800), it's really difficult to organise a good camp. Well done, WorldVision.

Truthfully though, the skeptical me has still not managed to use this starvation experience to understand or even get a bit of knowledge of what the people in Lesotho, Mongolia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Uzbekistan, Ethiopia, Zambia and Bangladesh. (Don't ask me why this weird choice of countries, given the various links and references to them that I guess the organisers either chose to overlook or don't know about.) Well to me I guess the camp wasn't as effective as they would have wanted for bringing the message across, but I got the point.

Oh well. Now that I've got a 'family' from Lesotho, things might be looking up =P.

I'll blog more when I feel like it. Too tired now.
