Best Lyrics from PJ

I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules
I undeciphered tricks at the bar
But now you're gone, I haven't figured out why
I've come up with riddles and jokes about war
I've figured out numbers and what they're for
I've understood feelings and I've understood words
But how could you be taken away?
And wherever you've gone
And wherever we might go
It don't seem fair... Today just disappeared
Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
We were but stones, your light made us stars
With heavy breath, awakened regrets
Back pages and days alone that could have been spent, together...
But we were miles apart
Every inch between us becomes light years now
No time to be void or save up on life
You got to spend it all...
And wherever you've gone
And wherever we might go
It don't seem fair... You seem to like it here
Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
We were but stones, your light made us stars
And wherever you've gone
And wherever we might go
It don't seem fair... Today just disappeared
Your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
We were but stones, your light made us stars0 -
I am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends0

So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin at me
Oh, I paid the price...

I've always thought "born on third, thinks he got a triple" from Bu$hleaguer was a great line.....and very fitting for that situation, as well.
Also "It's not the world that's heavy, it's the things that you save" from Drifting- I try to remember not to carry the 'heavy' stuff with me all the time- but instead, set it free (set myself free)
"Forgive every being -the bad feelings, it's just me" from Can't Keep - again, I try to rember to let go of negative energy.
There's a TON more, but those came to mind at this moment0 -

I may be wrong but when I hear Save You I think it's about us fans. This thought makes it great live.
i'm gonna save you fucker, not gonna lose you
i'm feeling cocky and strong, can't let you go
too important to me, and too important to us
we'd be lost without you
i'm there, let yourself fall, i'm right below you now
and fuck me if i say something you don't want to hear, from me
and fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear, from me, if i care
but i'm not leaving here
you helped me when i was down, i'll help when you're down
why are you hitting yourself? c'mon and hit me instead
let's pick up your will, it's grown fat and lazy
it's sympathetic as well, don't go on me now
and i'm not living this life without you, i'm selfish and clear
and you're not leaving here without me, i don't wanna be without...
my best friend
wake up to see you could have it all
whoa!
cuz there is but you, and something within you
has taken control, let's beat it
get up, let's go
oh, you're in your own world, let's see the whole world!
let's pick up your soul
and fuck me if i say something you don't wanna hear from me (fuck me)
and fuck me if you only hear the tremble in your head
please help me to help you help yourself!
help me help yourself
help me, please want me to
please let me to, help you...0 -
Lives opened and trashed..."look ma, watch me crash"...
No time to question...why'd nothing last...
Grasp and hold on...we're dyin' fast...
Soon be over...and i will relent...
Let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past
Three days, and maybe longer
Won't even know i've left...0 -
Some of my personal favorite couplets:
I'll never suck Satan's dick. Again you' see it you know right 'round the lips.
Like egg, rolling thick and heavy, all the past we carry.
It's funny when things change so much, it's all state of mind.
Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette. Thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic.
I will swallow poison until I grow immune. I will scream my lungs out 'til it fills this room.
We go way back. I wonder about his insides. It's like his thoughts are too big for his size.

Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit. That has grown.
I could go on and on...but I guess I'll truncate it there."Not only do you have sunshine but you have better thunder...fuckers." -Ed, Phx 10/21/00

I used to try and kill love... It was the highest sin...
If I think too much... I can get over... whelmed...
I study your face... The fear goes away...Athens 2006 / Milton Keynes 2014 / London 1&2 2022 / Seattle 1&2 2024 / Dublin 2024 / Manchester 2024 / New Orleans 20250 -
To me:
- everything on Light Years, Sleight of Hand, Parting Ways, Oceans, Thumbing my Way and yes, Just Breathe and The End - but I am biased by the last two songs due to personal experiences.0 -
Hear the sirens, hear the siren
Hear the siren, hear the circus all go found
I hear the sirens more and more in this here town
Let me catch my breath to breathe then reach across the bend
Just to know we’re safe, I am a grateful man
This light is pit, alive and I can see you clear
I could take your hand, and feel your breath
For feel that someday this will be over
I pull you close, so much to lose
Knowing that, nothing lasts forever
I didn’t care, before you were here
A distant laughter, with the everafter
But, all things change, let this remain
Hear the sirens covering distance in the night
The sound, echoing closer, will they come for me, next time?
For every choice, mistake I made, is not my plan
To see you in the arms of another man
And if you choose to stay, I’ll wait, I’ll understand
Oh, it’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can’t
get over
When by the graces, by which we live our lives with death over our
shoulders
Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above
too
I studied your face, the fear goes away.
It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can’t get
over
When by the graves, by which we live our lives with death over our
shoulders
Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above
too
I studied your face, the fear goes away, the fear goes away, the fear goes
away."...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”0 -
Rearviewmirror, Tremor Christ, Satan's Bed, Bugs, Indifference, Inside Job grew on me (see post here somewhere), Force of Nature... Just to mention a few.0

Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and minds of men
When progress becomes plausible
In reverse we curse ourselves
By thinking we're infallible
Are we chancing fate instead?The whole world will be different soon... - EV

keep on locking your doors
keep on building your floors
keep on just as before
pay disasters no mind
didn't get you this time
no prints left at the crime
our ship's come in
and it's sinking
of everything that's possible
in the hearts and minds of men
somehow it is the biggest things
that keep on slipping right through our hands
by thinking we're infallible
oh, we are tempting fate instead
time we'd best begin
here at the ending
want a third second-chance?
put your faith in big hands
pay no more than a glance
all good things come to an end
this could be good as it gets
how's the view from the fence?
you'd think we'd been here before
you are mistaken
of everything that's possible
in the hearts and minds of men
when progress could be plausible
in reverse we curse ourselves
by thinking were infallible
oh, we are chancing fate instead
time we'd best begin
here at the ending
of everything that's possible
in the hearts and minds of men
somehow it is the biggest things
that keep on slipping right through our hands
by thinking were infallible
oh, we are tempting fate instead
time we'd best begin
here at the ending
here at the ending
keep on locking your doors
keep on building your floors
keep on just as beforeThe whole world will be different soon... - EV
