This is one of my favorite songs by him.

She’s shaking down
I’m absent and numb from shock
Reaching around for the hands of the clock
Should’ve lied

Lit me up, it’s my lie
Should’ve lit me up, it’s my lie
Should’ve lit me up, it’s my lie
Should’ve lit me up

Cupid’s trick comes
Down to shake and deal
The stupid kick that makes me real
Should’ve lied

Lit me up, it’s my lie
Should’ve lit me up, it’s my lie
Should’ve lit me up, it’s my lie
Should’ve lit me up

She’s shaking down
It’s never over and done.
So, kick me, cane me
Then I’ll know
Why

Lit me up, it’s my lie
Should’ve lit me up, it’s my lie
Should’ve lit me up, it’s my lie
Should’ve lit me up

Im not sure if what I feel is right . I am actually saddened. Elliott Smith is dead. This is really affecting me in the way that Kurt Cobain's Suicide did. I want to cry .I remember seeing Elliott for the first time at Trees. This is a man whose words have actually made me cry at times. I was actually talking about him Sunday to Shaun and how I wish he would come out with something new because I could not wait until he toured again:( Yesterday I looked at my pack of pics I had of him from the last the time I saw him. And today I find out he's dead. *sigh*

Don't you dare disturb me
while Im balancing my past
cuz you can't help or hurt me
like it already has
I may not seem quite right
but I'm not fucked not quite
-Elliott Smith
