I ♥ this song!

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside 

How long how long will I slide 

Separate my side I don't 

I don't believe it's bad 

Slit my throat 

It's all I ever 

I heard your voice through a photograph 

I thought it up and brought up the past 

Once you know you can never go back 

I've got to take it on the otherside 

Centuries are what it meant to me 

A cemetery where I marry the sea 

Stranger things could never change my mind 

I've got to take it on the otherside 

Take it on the otherside 

Take it on 

Take it on 

How long how long will I slide 

Separate my side I don't 

I don't believe it's bad 

Slit my throat 

It's all I ever 

Pour my life into a paper cup 

The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts 

She wants to know am I still a slut 

I've got to take it on the otherside 

A scarlet starlet and she's in my bed 

A candidate for a soul mate bled 

Push the trigger and i'll pull the thread 

I've got to take it on the otherside 

Take it on the otherside 

Take it on 

Take it on 

How long how long will I slide 

Separate my side I don't 

I don't believe it's bad 

Slit my throat 

It's all I ever 

Turn me on take me for a hard ride 

Burn me out leave me on the otherside 

I yell and tell it that 

It's not my friend 

I tear it down I tear it down 

And then it s born again 

How long how long will I slide 

Separate my side I don't 

I don't believe it's bad 

Slit my throat 

It's all I ever 

How long, I don't 

I don't believe it's bad 

Slit my throat 

It's all I ever

My daily routine♥

I usually get up at 6:45 in the morning and it's always a fight with the alarm to get off my bed. I get ready for school and at 7:30 I have breakfast with white-coffee and some biscuits. I leave home at 7:45 and I meet Valeria, then we go to school.
After school I go back home and, when I arrive, I have lunch with my parents. At 3 o'clock I usually start my homework. When I finally finish my homework I go out with my friends or I surf the net. After I watch TV and at 8 o'clock I have dinner. After that I read or watch TV and I usually go to bed around midnight.
