museum directors with high shaking heads.
they kick white shadows until they play dead.
they want to crack your crossword smile.

Don't be confused baby, the way is clear
And if you want it you got it forever
Just for a one night stand in bed
Let the music take your mind
And, just release and you would find

We gonna fly away, plan to go my way
I love it when we're cruising together
Music was made for love, cruising is made for love
I love it when we're cruising together

Baby tonight belongs to us
Everything's right, do what you must
And inch by inch we get closer and closer ohhhh
Every little part is in touch
ooh baby, baby oooh
Let the music take your mind
Just release and you would find, baby
I love it I love it

We gonna fly away, plan to go my way
I love it when we're cruising together
Music was made for love, cruising is made for love
I love it when we're cruising together

Ohhh oooh, cruise for me babe
Oh baby let's cruise
Let's flow, let's glide
ooooh let's open up, and go inside
And if you want it you got it forever
I can just stay there inside you
And love you baby, ohhh
Let the music take your mind
just release and you would find, baby

We gonna fly away, plan to go my way
I love it when we're cruising together
Music was made for love, cruising is made for love
I love it when we're cruising together

Ohhh, we gonna fly
We gonna fly away, plan to go my way
I love it when we're cruising together
Music was made for love, cruising is made for love
I love it when we're cruising together

This one goes out to a really great friend of mine that chose to grace me with her prescence for quite sometime unfortunately it ended badly.....but....after much recollection I was the fortunate one...she wasn't real.

"This is the story with the fantastic lies.
Or some facts to help us minimalize.
As for this shelter I can plainly deny.
But you can't kill time without injuring us.
And we'll count up all the goods now.

This is the girl with such fantastic eyes.
Such brute creation to but lay up beside.
Should cut our nails and wash our feet
and enjoy the tedium that's yet been untried by me.
And we'll count up all the goods now.

There are more than you ever thought you'd own.

Lift up your fingers and let's untie the string.
Let's knot them all to see what this monster brings.
'Cause its real soothing with its tail in its knees.
'Cause you can cry once without harrowing thus.
And we'll count up all the goods now.

Don't you know that they've come to be your host?
Didn't mean to skank your art.
Should've never hung around us (dear).
Didn't want your money, oh baby now.

When it lasted all day,
we would blast it all day.
We would bring it on and on.

It's all in your head.

Strange Fruit

by
Lewis Allen

Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

uninnocent · January 2005

i can't say what i want to,
even if i'm not serious.
things like....
"fuck yourself,
kill yourself,
you piece of shit."

people tell me what to say,
what to think ,
and what to play.

i say...
"go fuck yourself,
you piece of shit.
why don't you go kill yourself?"

just kidding.

Ayedavanita · February 2005

I will light the match this mornin', so I won't be alone
watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam
I will make my way, through, one more day in hell...
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make...
I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
I'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
hey I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make..
how much difference...
I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
how much difference
how much difference
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make...

Being Enlightened · February 2005

Let me tell you about a girl i know,
Had a drink about a hour ago.
Sitting in a corner by herself, in a bar in downtown hell.

She heard a noise and she looked through the door.
And saw a man she'd never seen before.
Light skin, light blue eyes, a double-chin and a plastic smile.
Well, her heart raced as he walked through the door
And took an empty seat next to her at the bar.
"my brand new car is parked right outside. how'd ya like to go for a
ride?"
And she said."wait a minute i have to think."
He said, "that's fine. may i please buy you a drink"
One drink turned into 3 or 4 and they left and got into his car
And drove someplace real far.

Now babe the time has come.
How'd ya like to have a little fun?
And she said." if we could only please be on our way, i will not run."

That's when things got out of control.
She didn't want to, he had his way.
She said, "let's go"
He said, "no way!"
Come on babe it's your lucky day.
Shut your mouth, were gonna do it my way.
Come on baby don't be afraid,
If it wasn't for date rape i'd never get laid.

He finished up and he started the car
He turned around and drove back to the bar.
He said."now baby don't be sad, in my opinion you weren't half-bad."
She picked up a rock.,threw it at the car, hit him in the head ,now his got a
Big scar.
Come on party people won't you listen to me.
Date rape stylee.

The next day she went to her drawer, look up her local attorney at law,
Went to the phone and filed the police report and then she took the guy's ass
To court.
Well, the day he stood in front of the judge he screamed, " she lies that
Little slut!"
The judge knew that he was full of shit and he gave him 25 years
And now his hearted is filled with tears.

That night in jail it was getting late.
He was butt-raped by a large inmate, and he screamed.
But the guards paid no attention to his cries.

That's when things got out of control.
The moral of the date rape story, it does not pay to be drunk and horny.
But that's the way it had to be.
They locked him up and threw away the key.
Well, i can't take pity on men of his kind,
Even though he now takes it in the behind.
Date rape

She didn't want to take it!

JDE-PJ · February 2005

the litebrite's now black and white
cause you took apart a picture that wasn't right
pitch burning on a shining sheet
the only maker that you want to meet
a dying man in a living room
who's shadow paces the floor
who'll take you out in the open door
this is not my life
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
it's not what i'm like
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
who couldn't get things right
fond farewell to a friend
he said really i just wanna dance
good and evil matched perfect it's a great romance
i can deal with some psychic pain
if it'll slow down my higher brain
veins full of disappearing ink
vomiting in the kitchen sink
disconnecting from the missing link
this is not my life
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
it's not what i'm like
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
who couldn't get things right
fond farewell to a friend
i see you're leaving me and taking up with the enemy
the cold comfort of the in between
a little less than a human being
a little less than a happy high
a little less than a suicide
the only things that you really tried
this is not my life
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
it's not what i'm like
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
who couldn't get things right
fond farewell to a friend
this is not my life
it's just a fond farewell to a friend

A Stranger

cast the calming apple
up and over satellites
to draw out the timid wild one
to convince you it's alright
and I listen for the whisper
of your sweet insanity while I formulate
denials of your effect on me

you're a stranger
so what do i care
you vanish today
not the first time I hear
all the lies

what am I to do with all this silence
shy away, shy away phantom
run away terrified child
won't you move away you fuckin tornado
I'm better off without
tearing my will down

(I just love the line about sweet insanity.)

AND THIS ONE I DEDICATE TO KIM:

A Stranger

cast the calming apple
up and over satellites
to draw out the timid wild one
to convince you it's alright
and I listen for the whisper
of your sweet insanity while I formulate
denials of your effect on me

you're a stranger
so what do i care
you vanish today
not the first time I hear
all the lies

what am I to do with all this silence
shy away, shy away phantom
run away terrified child
won't you move away you fuckin tornado
I'm better off without
tearing my will down

Schwing · February 2005

You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Instead of slamming down the phone, girl
For the hundredth time
I got your number on my wall
But I ain't gonna make that call
When divided we stand, baby
United we fall

Got the time, got a chance, gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart, gonna take it
All I know, I can't fight this flame

You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby
Time after time

Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide

I don't wanna fight no more
I don't know what we're fighting for
When we treat each other, baby
Like an act of war
I could tell a million lies
And it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a stranger
Hits you right between the eyes

There's a time and a place and a reason
And I know I got a love to believe in
All I know
Got to win this time

Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide

You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby
Crazy, crazy

Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
If you have a heart at all
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide

Being Enlightened · February 2005

(One, two, three, four)

Daddy was a rapist
For the word of God
Even Baptist preachers
Got to get off
Had the sisters
Of the congregation
Down on their knees
My ma was one of these

He told them:
"Be fruitful, multiply
Be fruitful, multiply"

Mama says I'm lucky
That I'm here at all
Daddy refused to pay
What that evil doctor cost
Daddy was a right
And righteous man
Didn't want his first born son
Dumped in no garbage can

Save the baby
Kill the doctor
Save the baby
Kill the doctor

I'm all for life
Until the bastard's born
After that
He's out on his own
And if he does crime
Trying to survive
I'll make damn sure
He gets electrified

Save the baby
Kill the doctor
Save the baby
Kill the doctor

I kill for you
Baby Jesus
I kill for you
Little baby Jesus

I used to dream of this

I lay awake at night imagining this

It was the only purpose in my life

But right now I’m terrified

Suddenly it’s so close

Suddenly it’s in reach

Suddenly it’s really scaring me

Ah it’s so close

And I’m in its reach

It’s telling me how I gotta be

They want you, they’ll get you

I wish I didn’t have to let you go

Even the best laid plans

Sometimes get outta hand

When dreams become reality

That’s living death can’t you see?

When you got the power

It gets abused

When you got the power it gets used

Travelling down the road that leads to fame and glory

This really is the immortal story

They want you, they’ll get you

I wish I didn’t have to let you go

Iron & Wine - Passing Afternoon

There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
And she chose a yard to burn but the ground remembers her
Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms

There are things that drift away like our endless numbered days
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
Sunday pulls its children from the piles of fallen leaves

There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
Springtime calls her children until she lets them go at last
And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds

There are things we can't recall, Blind as night that finds us all
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
But my hands remember hers, rolling around the shaded ferns
Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned

There are names across the sea, only now I do believe
Sometimes, with the window closed, she'll sit and think of me
But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone

vmfury · February 2005

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to ryhme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide

Fugazi - Target

It's cold outside and my hands are dry
Skin is cracked and I realize
That I hate the sound of guitars
A thousand grudging young millionaires
Forcing silent sucking sound
Forced into this conversation
So I say shine, let their planets collide
This is the darkening down of my mind
We could be making it oiling like crime
We could be making it staking last dimes
If you want to sieze the sound, you don't need a reservation
The torch is passed it's yours to return
Lay at their feet now use it to burn
For marketing the use of the word generation
A false alliance of money persuading
Forcing silent sucking sound
Forced into this conversation
Now if you want to sieze the sound, you don't need a reservation
So open
So young
So target
I can smell your heart
You're a target

Congratulations you have won
It's a years subscription of bad puns.
And it makes your story our concern
And you set it up for returns

My opinions.

And there seems to be a problem here.
Your state of emotion seems to clear.
You rise and fall like wall street stock
And they had an affect on our happy talk.

Our opinions.
My opinions.

Congratulations you have won
It's a years subscription of bad puns.
And it makes your story our concern
And you set it up for returns

Our opinions.
Your opinions.

I love the Scrubs/Clerks/Garden State quotes in your sig.

The Dillinger Escape Plan - When Good Dogs Do Bad Things

I'm the best you'll ever have
You're the best I'll never have

Pain...
Gone.
Rain...
Stop.
Sun...
Shine.
You're...
Mine.

Here kitty kitty kitty

MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY

Listen:
listen through the walls
the sound of quick footsteps sneaking down the hall
whispers
the pages turning
the leaky roof
the toilet flushing
numbers on the license plate

I'm nothing more than
The best you'll never have
A speck on your bedroom wall
A blood red waterfall

THE BEST YOU WILL EVER HAVE

Your dead things are locked up inside
Blow smoke rings straight back in time
Roses floating out with the tide
Dance and sing under gunfire
Open wings slowly take flight...

Around these parts a fly can live---
A fly can live a thousand years
but a man cannot die soon enough, true enough

A smiling drunk nursing a glass of milk
A girl with a face like prison bread
Over the kitchen noise I hear them howl at me

A scabby ketchup bottle and a two-dollar bill
I guess its time to pay the bill, but you know I never will
I'm hungry still...

RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY

Mercy killing on the way
Never thought I'd hear you say
Falling to your knees and pray now...

In this crowded place I could swing a cat
And not even hit a soul...
It's just the lonely vacuum of human black holes

And I'm as dry as these thirsty trees
with big city thoughts in the dirty breeze...
promising to set me free
"waiter, check please..."

I'M THE BEST YOU WILL EVER HAVE

Porch · February 2005

she said to me, over the phone
she wanted to see other people
i thought, "well then, look around, they're everywhere"
said that she was confused...
i thought, "darling, join the club"
24 years old, mid-life crisis
nowadays hits you when you're young
i hung up, she called back, i hung up again
the process had already started
at least it happened quick
i swear, i died inside that night
my friend, he called
i didn't mention a thing
the last thing he said was, "be sound"
sound...
i contemplated an awful thing, i hate to admit
i just thought those would be such appropriate last words
but i'm still here
and small
so small.. how could this struggle seem so big?
so big...
while the palms in the breeze still blow green
and the waves in the sea still absolute blue
but the horror
every single thing i see is a reminder of her
never thought i'd curse the day i met her
and since she's gone and wouldn't hear
who would care? what good would that do?
but i'm still here
so i imagine in a month...or 12
i'l be somewhere having a drink
laughing at a stupid joke
or just another stupid thing
and i can see myself stopping short
drifting out of the present
sucked by the undertow and pulled out deep
and there i am, standing
wet grass and white headstones all in rows
and in the distance there's one, off on its own
so i stop, kneel
my new home...
and i picture a sober awakening, a re-entry into this little bar scene
sip my drink til the ice hits my lip
order another round
and that's it for now
sorry
never been too good at happy endings...

"3rd Planet" by Modest Mouse
Lyrics by Isaac Brock

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart,
I got this thing that I consider my only art of
Fucking people over.
My boss just quit the job,
Said he's goin' out to find blind spots
And he'll do it.

The third planet is sure that they're bein' watched
By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped.
When you get to the promised land,
You're gonna shake the eye's hand.

Your heart felt good
It was drippin' pitch and made of wood.
And your hands, and knees
Felt cold and wet on the grass to me.
Well outside naked, shiverin' lookin' blue,
From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon.
Baby cum angels fly around you
Reminding you we used to be three and not just two,

And that's how the world began.
And that's how the world will end.

A third planet just been made and we're swimming in the water,
Didn't know then was it a son was it a daughter,
When it occured to me that the animals are swimming
Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies
And another had been found another ocean on the planet,
Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic.
And how.

The universe is shaped exactly like the earth,
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were.

Quite possibly my favorite lyrics ever.
