lead on

depopulationINC

Empty wishes
No premonitions
Seeking moments
To rain upon us
Lacking freedom
Gives us no meaning
We’re still searching
But are we learning

Past mistakes
Arise again
They drag us down
Blocking forsaken dreams
Overlooking
The straight and narrow
The path is not hidden
Why can’t we see
The way is known
Why can no one lead

Crossing lines
So overdone
If this is evolution
Where did we all come from

We’re still waiting
We’re still wasting
We’re still looking
For the easy way out

I really like this one. It just feels very real and applicable to everybody. Eventually though, you would hope that people would stop letting their past drag them down by learning from their mistakes and changing, but that takes effort and like you said everyones looking for the easy way out (no such thing)

Will you watch
Pounding into the ground
Can you stand
I see you ignoring
How can you just stand around
Little breathes
Something we so leave unappreciated
What ones would give for half our lives
Never let these moments slip
Privilege is not for all
Don’t ignore what you hold
Though it has been handed to you
It’s still a privilege
Not your right

what a nice piece.

Very good depop! I really like these alot!

Speak all those humble words
Rise up
Take the pedestal
Say your bit
Speak your mind
Open up
Bleed your words

Living words
What do they mean
Are they true
Do you believe
Can you practice
Or just stand and preach
See lips moving
But I don’t believe

Washing the world
Spreading the word
Soap box dreams
Is penance ever paid
For the words that you mistreat

depopulationINC

move on

You keep on moving
How is it that you carry on
You keep on hoping
What provides you vision
Give a glimpse
Maybe I can join along

I see the shadows
Symbols outlined in gray
You see the middle
Everything held within
I see a border
Can’t seem to find my way in
You swim on shores
It’s just the natural life you’ve lived

I see some signs within your guiding light
Only now I wish that I could read
They put them up you smash them down
Reconstruction deconstruction with all the passion you give
Resurrection from imperfect from all the visions that you live

Good read depop! I especially like the lines above. I have found that often times I personally have experienced people who preach but don't help when it comes right down to it. We are to do, not just say, not if we are trying to spread love...

I really like this one alot depop. Great read! I believe in living and being true and real to yourself and others - living what you believe. Great faith and compassion as a choice can yield more than you can expect. Many hardships can be a fantastic teacher and loving without expecting in return. What if we helped people because we really were thinking about them and not ourselves or how we could benefit? When they stumble loving them anyway and forgiving them when they are sorry and truly letting it go, not judging them but giving them a loving helping hand if they need it. The people who hide or build walls to keep others out are the ones that need love the most, those are the ones with the greatest internal hurts that keep them trapped in darkness. If only people realized their value and how much good they can do, opening up their minds and their hearts to something bigger than just themselves...the box wasn't meant to live in, only to die in...how can a bird soar when trapped in a cage...

MODEST MOUSE LYRICS

"Float On"

I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well he just drove off sometimes life's ok
I ran my mouth off a bit too much oh what did I say
Well you just laughed it off it was all ok

And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on any way well

Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam
It was worth it just to learn from sleight-of-hand
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on the exactly the same day
Well we'll float on good news is on the way

And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Now don't you worry we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Alright don't worry we'll all float on

And we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Aliright don't worry even if things end up a bit to heavy
We'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Ok don't worry we'll all float on
Even if things get heavy we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Don't you worry we'll all float on
All float on






you can almost make a poem out of these poem's titles, alone

keep it up! the second one's my favorite.. specially this part:

Will you watch
Pounding into the ground
Can you stand
I see you ignoring
How can you just stand around
Little breathes

hey, thanks PastaNazi

And double thanks for the song...I actually rather like that song. Wonder if I should add in Ramble On

DopeBeastie

on and on and a on and on on on on
the beat don't stop-a-til the break-a-dawn


i betcha there's a lotta "on" songs

depopulationINC

rave on


Put my faith back in something
Into something that I can feel
Relinquish mind in something
Don’t want to
I can’t follow blind

I don’t want to lead
To something when I’m running blind
I’ve got to have reason
Something to get me to step in line
Got to have a reason
Something more than a feeling
Something that makes me stand up and shout out loud
That I can’t walk away from
Something surpassing all shadow of doubt

Do you see a reason
Is there something that makes you feel so strong
Show me something more to believe in
Show me something that I can put my hands on

Great read depop...has a pleading quality to it...

depopulationINC

It’s time to step up
It’s time to put up
It’s time to show up
And force these fuckers out on the run
I wanna show you
I wanna own you
I wanna hang you
And show you how this world is really run

Go on Go on Go on
Show me what you really like
Go on Go on Go on
The way you want me to
Go on Go on Go on
Describe your feelings through and through
Go on Go on Go on
Show me what you really like

Oh
So
So you don’t like the way you feel, yeah
Oh
And
And you think I aim to mistreat you
Oh
Hey
It really doesn’t matter
This is the way it is
Go on Go on Go on
I’ll let you know when I feel I’m done
Go on Go on Go on
Go on Go on Go on

Oh you don’t really wanna own you
No there’s no way you can prove true
Go on Go on Go on
It’s my time
It’s my place
It’s my life
I’ll decide exactly how your run

Go on Go on Go on
I’ll show you
I’ll have my fun
Go on Go on Go on
It’s my way
It’s my right

depopulationINC

Nothing has to change
There’s nothing here that says we’ll end up with our way
What says things have to sway
Opinions are the burden of a man who’s mind’s constrained

Oh I see the passion
Yes it may all be in vain
And I know there’s reason
Why so many reach out for the same
Yeah I see motivation
To see our lives lived out a better way
And I sense believing
But there’s nothing for sure today

I know
There doesn’t have to be a sense
That leads away from solitude
I know
That many here are grieving
But there’s nothing I can really do
I know
So many keep on trying
But are we willing to follow it all the way until it’s through

My mind it makes me
Think about these little things
The ones that rely on reason
That don’t bring whimpers
Even when I stumble up upon the roots

Sneaking up upon me
Leading me
Which way leads me to the truth
Did I fall
Did I brush myself
Am I clean
Are my memories void of what I’ve never seen

What connects
What links us to
What hides away
What breaks on through
What’s inside
What leads on
What can we see
What are we willing to

Do the fears begin to fade
When reality is very comforting
Can we set our minds at bay
When we realize we’ve given everything
Does it cause an ease
Knowing that didn’t really provide us anything

pacifier

I really like all of these, especially the last two.

Great reads depop. The first was more aggressive and blunt and the second more introspective...good stuff

depopulationINC

thanks

I have a few more for this series, but I think I am going to toss a spade full of earth atop them/this
