http://www.cnn.com/video/(insert number sign)/video/world/2008/06/10/lah.japan.suicide.cliff.cnnThere seems to be some problems posting the link as it actually is, so where it says (insert number sign), replace that with the number sign, which is shift + 3 on the number row.It's about the suicide rates in Japan, and it pretty much encompasses what TWLOHA is all about.

So I'm posting a new one.Things are a lot better than they were this time 3 weeks ago, even 1 week ago.But hell, it's the last week of school. I really only have two days of school left, tomorrow and Friday, since I don't have any tests on Thursday.Here's to a better school year next year.

It's not healthy It really isn't, this obsession of mine Hanging on your last words Like they're akin to scripture, Our ideal lives in writing
And the written word is all I get In this time; separated by seas Both physical and emotional And the 24 hours between the last time I heard your voice and the next time I'll See your face, They're too much
They're just too much to bear
The sand drops, and the skin sags Eventually melting away Maybe in our minds, Maybe in our eyes The meaning is lost, after all So who really knows?
And more sand drops, becoming an urgent matter It's a race against time And suddenly life has become more of a race Than an experience A chance at learning But who really learns in the middle of a race?
And yet I'm racing, babe I'm racing through time Because 23 hours remain Until the time I'll get to see your face And words are all I have left And words are all I can linger on
