Matchbox Thoughts
by Quinlan L GibsonBright Lights at the Rest Stop.
a Hand-Me-Down Downfall,
and the 3 AM Crutch
leaves me Cold.
Feel The Burn and
Argue with Shame.
Damn, I'm Bent and Busted.
Angry that You're All I Need.
so Could I Be You?
You're So Real.
with a beautiful Soul.
Just Hang On.
i'll get it Back To Good
i'll Leave this Bed Of Lies.
cause You Won't Be Mine.
if it doesn't Stop.
and If You're Gone
i'm Diseased and Unwell
A Girl Like That.
Push-ed
in the Real World
of the Mad Season
and after a Long Day
i just wanted to be
the Last Beautiful Girl 10/15/2003 Author's Note: while listening to the Matchbox montoge..spelling anyone? I thought i'd pay tribute to Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 for writing an incredible song for every single feeling i've ever had. I love you Rob.
Ironically much of it (it's done with just titles of their songs) pertains to my life really closely. Other sections it bares no resemblence...

| Posted by Cole Miller on 10/20/03 at 06:14 PM heehee, man I love matchbox twenty! i've done this a few times with other bands, but none turn out this well. |

| Posted by Frankie Sanchez on 07/06/05 at 11:36 PM i loved the first matchbox album -- this piece made so much sense... even before i caught on to the matchbox reference... |
