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

18.
A number that signifies more than just legality in the purchase of alcohol. It also signifies the fact that I have to take my 'A' Levels in less than a month. Guess what? I'm not prepared for them. But forget it, let's look at the day I turned 18.
I was awake at midnight, up till 1am. Smses from Royce and a MSN convo with Jess was probably it. Woke up at 9, stoned around, got a few more smses from JJ, JunHan, then proceeded on towards Dhoby Ghaut for our LAN outing. Sad, I know. On the day I turned 18, I went to play computer games. A couple of replies to JoyceQ, XinNing, Eleanor and that pretty summed up what else I did other than play laggy Counter-Strike and Quake IV. Frankly, I really liked Quake IV. So fast paced, so chaotic, yet needing so much skill to play. I'm pretty good at the railgun, the 'HUMILIATION' Gauntlet (Melee weapon, undoubtedly too much practice in Team Fortress 2 with their somewhat overpowered melee weapons) as well as the shotgun. Though eventually I went to buy Josh's present with Jared, so we got him a really cute shirt. Hope he'll like it. Tomorrow's his birthday hmm.
In terms of gifts, only the people I met on Wednesday itself gave me a truckload of stuff I could put to great use. For example, two pairs of sneakerballs. A cap by And1, an wuxia novel, a portable speaker. Thanks, Aaron, Meiyi+Tong, and Roger :).

Haha I was re-reading it, and I thought i sounded very calculative and mercenary. Actually, the truth is that I want to acknowledge these friends for remembering that it's my birthday and wishing me, or even going out with me to do lame stuff together. Thanks, really. I don't know where would I be without some of you.
