Michael
He spent most his life in prison He lived his life one day at a time He left his wife and two sons All he wanted was just to get away But I guess that's just the way the story goes. He told me that he loves his boys But he couldn’t stand the pain of a life that is going nowhere I guess he just didn’t know how to play the…

Lessons in Futility
Took one step off the beaten path and ended up where I began Where are you trying to go child? Asked a frail and fragile man Trying to find the meaning of life The eternal search for the truth To look for the truth You must first go blind You cannot see from these eyes But by searching your own mind To hear the truth feign…

the benefit
The thing most noticeable about the thoughtless-stream-style is the way it goes along, goes along, goes along, and actually takes you somewhere, even when you have no destination planned! rushing along, rushing downhill, moving over the rocks it pulls whatever is in there OUT I might not know I'm upset, but it shows up I…

The Scientist - Part I
Observe the malady. Raising children in plague rounds. Is this the reality to establish? Diffusion is not purpose. Ignorance is not culture. Is debt paid to society only expectation of reward? Outcasting those that tell stories to no one but themselves, yet demanding answers from no one in particular? Talents, valiance,…

The Grand Circus Calamity
Come one, come all to a circus affair Such a feat seen again would be so rare A tale of how we've let ourselves in Allowing the hostile takeover, the sin Oh what a joy this will be to watch Use your eyes to content, but please do not touch A nation torn by heartache, war Creating history, sailors’ lore A trapeze act of…

THIS IS SOME DEEP SHIT!
because of the cosmological constant, this puts a limit on how large the event horizon of the universe can be. the dark energy enters the universe through calabi-yau manifolds, which pushes them away from all the others and thus expands the universe. because the cosmological constant has a tiny, finite value, there must be…

Cadillac Dreams
The lady doesn’t know that she’s stealing my heart Two steps away and worlds apart I have Cadillac dreams and a old Dodge Dart But she’s standing right there and we’re worlds apart. With her Gucci purse and diamond necklace and rings She can’t see me She has everything. But I’m two steps away And the lady doesn’t know…

Another mixed one
I think I could grow to like this quick stream splatter patter this fish girl could roll completely around on moving water circle, bob, circle bump, flip buoyant old log or a tossed plastic bottle bob, dip, bob, whoops some boob dropped it "Go!" (got to) over the Swoosh Fall we slippery polish the rocks along the slope…

Band Reading List
The only thing I've read that was directly recommended by the band is Ishmael. I enjoyed it and a couple of others by Quinn, so I am looking for other books that band members have mentioned to add to my own reading. I know there are a few great pieces done about the band, but I am not looking for texts whose topic is Pearl…

My Peace
Pull the hatred from my bones, smooth the edges of my bitterness with the knife that spreads the honey of my smile; the one that thins as the dimness of my eyes begins. Let the words calm the twitching of my soul, restless and heavy, and grant me the escape I seek, as my heart lurches within its cage. Bring the mercy and…

remotely?
I don't know how everyone else feels but I really think it's incredible that my life is so extremely busy I know it's partially my own fault for having three jobs plus a family, a husband, and an instrument that requires practicing but STILL do my days have to be this full? so full that finding time to practice or time to…

The pull
He pulls me with his eyes, He pulls me with his lips, He pulls me with his mind, fingertips He is like a planet and I caught in his orbit Surrender he says It might be dangerous Surrender he says I never felt like tis Surrender he says It's all I ever really wanted
