I no longer feel where do my heart belong
This shivering wind has frozen it to the core
And the rain that whips my face covers my tears
These dark shades of night hide my fears
There's no way, no way back
Wherever I'm walking
I hide behind my smile
And it hurts me inside
I cry without shedding a tear
I'm sorry this ends here
Still the wind blows and the rain falls on me
And I know there's no way back, no way back
Forever I'm walking
"No Way Back" by NortherNo one's heard a single word I've said
They don't sound as good outside my head
It looks as though the past is here to stay
I've become a million miles a...

"The greatest singer in rock and roll
would have to be a Romeo.
His vocal chords are made of gold.
He just looks a little too old."
"The best song will never get sung.
The best life never leaves your lungs.
It's so good, and you won't ever know.
I never hear it on the radio.
You can't hear it on the radio."
-Jeff Tweedy "The Late Greats"“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut0 -
"You ever see someone who roll with Mayweather, rhyme like Ricky Hatton
Smash whatever you throw, 1000 is what I'm battin'
Got a few hooks but no jabs
Took 'em out your corndog books and notepads
I get it, you Got Rich robbin' those in the industry
Bite off this one, steal from your enemy
Never try to play the hottest one out your camp
He might step off and take half the juice from your amp
Enough to make you Vogue on the cover of GQ
Only missin' the sheer blouse. Homie, you see-through
Stop sippin' on that Formula 50
They want heat, I'll give it to them burnt and crispy
Rhymes too short to box with God, so stretch it
Especially these overrated rap steppin fetchers
I told you if I rain, there'll be an eternal drizzle
Woodwork strips being chipped to charred chisel
One verse shatter your spine and crush your spirit
No matter what, you still Window Shop for lyrics
If you's a pimp, put chicks on a stroll
And if those your soldiers, give 'em bigger guns to gold
Who Shot Ya? You don't have enough on your roster
Move like a Fed, talk like a mobster
That Yayo slangin, please abort it
Too many cuts on it, cokeheads they won't snort it
Spray the Flea-Unit with pesticides
You can get your best ghostwriters, get them all to testify
Have you ever been stung by a thousand hornets?
Five hundred killa bees, buzzin' and really on it
Whipped with CUBAN LINX, cut with LIQUID SWORDS
Choked by IRONMAN 'til we crush your vocal cords.
You ain't nothin' but a pig in a blanket
Hoghead, the deadliest food at the banquet.
All this rap crap that's trapped in your colon
Only means, get rid of the wack sh-- ya holdin'
Sweet-tooth dudes stay out the Candyshop
You ain't gotta handcuff 'em to see the panties drop
A few cats is lookin' for a rat with cheese
Got somethin' to pitch? They all swing a bat with ease
Get your ankles rolled while doin' your two-step
Leave a Thank-You note for the crutches the Wu left
Proactive rap, you know they put drug in the cream
You hallucinate, see Kanye in your dream
And yo, I don't smoke dust; I dust off Smokey and the Bandits
With the brush stroke off the canvas
I walk on your Gators and lizards,
Raise the lynx that was killed for your minx, you be rockin' them Blizzards
Wanna be caught 'til you walk the D-Block
To get a transfer, I'll spread your wings like Peacocks
I was an emcee while you was in Nutville
On a world tour, you was gettin' your guts feeled
Ten years ya sayin' but I flow like I'm twenty-one
Straight out Medina with a mass of many sons
Super nova give off gamma-ray bursts
And I'll finish this, only 'cause I let off first

Now it's eight, I've been trying to get that taste off my tongue
I was dreaming of just you, now our cereal, it is warm
Attractive day in the rubble of the night from before
Now I can't walk in a vacuum, I feel ugly, I feel my pores
It's the trees of this day that I do battle with for the light
Then I start to feel tragic, people greet me, I'm polite
"What's the day?"
"What's you doin'?"
"How's your mood?"
"How's that song?"
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
And I can't lift you up, my mind is tired
It's family beaches that I desire.
A sacred night, we'll watch the fireworks.
The frightened babies poo
They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why
They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes
I've been eating with a good friend who said
"A genie made me out of the earth's skin"
But in spite of her she is my birth kin
She spits me out in her surly blood rivers
All the people life lurk in
And dominions of a hot Turk dish
If elephants are reaching for our purses
Then meet me after the world with the shivers
"What's the day?"
"What are you doing?"
"How's your food?"
"How's that song?"
Man it passes right by me
It's behind me, now it's gone
I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired
It's family beaches that I desire
That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
They frightened the babies and you know
They've got two flashing eyes and
If they are color blind, they make me feel
That you're only what I see sometimes
And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired
It's family beaches that I desire
That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
They frightened the babies and you know
They've got two flashing eyes and
If they are color blind, they make me feel
That I'm only all I see sometimesThe car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides0 -

Here we are again and you sure look fine
You smile at me and the sparks just fly
I can’t understand why this is takin’ so long
Somebody must have really done you wrong
Every time I reach for you
You hold back and I’m so confused
How can you pull away from something so strong
Somebody must have really done you wrong
He hurt you bad and your heart still aches
But why should we pay for his mistakes… oh, why
I don’t know what he did but he’s long gone
He must have really done you wrong
Every time I reach for you
You hold back and I’m so confused
How can you pull away from something so strong
Somebody must have really done you wrong
Solo
I want to tear down
The walls that you built up
And baby open your heart
To all my love
Every time I reach for you
You hold back and I’m so confused
How can you pull away from something so strong
Somebody must have really, really
Somebody must have really done you wrong0 -
Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I'm across
Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve
No better and no worse
I just got lost
Every river that I've tried to cross
And every door I ever tried was locked
Oh, and I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come a bigger one
And you'll be lost
Every river that you try to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Oh, and I'm just waiting till the firing stops
Oh, and I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Oh, and I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Oh, and I'm just waiting till the shine wears off

daddy please, hear this song that i sing
in your heart there's a spark that just screams
for a lover to bring a child to your chest
that could lay as you sleep
and love all you have left like your boy used to be
long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet
blister please, with those wings in your spine
love to be with a brother of mine
how he'd love to find
your tongue in his teeth, in a struggle to find
secret songs that you keep wrapped in boxes so tight
sounding only at night as you sleep
and in my dreams your alive and you're crying
as your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet
rings of flowers around your eyes and i'll love you
for the rest of your life
brother, see, we are one in the same
and you left with your head filled with flames
and you watched as your brains fell out through your teeth
push the pieces in place
make your smile sweet to see
don't you take this away
i'm still wanting my face on your cheek
and when we break, we'll wait for our miracle
god is a place where some holy spectacle lies
when we break, we'll wait for our miracle
god is a place you will wait for the rest of your life
two-headed boy
she is all
you could need
she will feed you tomatoes
and radio wires
and retire to sheets safe and clean
but don't hate her when she gets up to leave.

Something so benign
For construed as cruelty
Such a difference between
Who I am and who you see
Conclusions you come to of me
Routinely incorrect
I don't know who you're talking to
With such fucking disrespect
This shit's making me crazy
The way you nullify what's in my head
You say one thing do another
And argue that's not what you do
Your way's making me mental
How you filter as skewed interpret
I swear you won't be happy til

Thursday - I am the Killer
"I wake up every morning
From the same dream
And then I kill it
But you can't change the letters when the ink dries
I woke up on the sidewalk and everything just changed
Now the lights are blinking but I can't see anything
Everything is falling apart:
Crumpled paper
Crushed tin cans
Broken bottles
Paper scraps
We all look the same
We all look the same
But I am the killer...""You could have licked the lips of God, but you chose the pavement..." ~ These Arms Are Snakes0 -
Michael Franti & Spearhead...*Hey World (Don't Give Up)*
Tell me why the grass was greener
Years ago
I swear it used to grow here
But no more, here
Tell me why on this hill
All the birds that used to come fly here
Are going to die here
Tell me why I need to know
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to know
Oh, show me
Hey World, what you say?
Should I stick around for another day or two?
Don't give up on me
I won't give up on you
Just believe in me
Like I believe in you
Tell me why on the corner
All the kids that used to come to run here
Loading guns here
Tell me why it's OK
To kill in the name of the gods we pray
Tell me who said it's OK
To die in the name of the lies we say
Tell me why there's child soldiers
Tell me why they close the borders
Tell me how to fight disease
Tell me now, won't you please?
The only thing I want to do
Is be in the arms of someone
Who believes in me
Like in believe in you
Hey World, what you say? Should I stick around for another day?
Hey World, what you say? Should I stick around for another day?
Hey World, what you say? Should I stick around for another day or two?
Don't give up on me I won't give up
I try, I try, I try, I try
I try, I try, I try, I try for you
Don't give up on me
I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry
I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry for you
Just believe in me like I believe
Hey World, what you say?
Hey World, what you say?
Hey World, what you say?
Should I stick around for another day?
Hey World, what you stay?
Should I stick around for another day or two?
Don't give up on me
I won't give up on me
Just believe in me
I believe in you
Don't give up
Hey World, what you say?
Hey World, what you say?
Hey World, what you say?

Minus The Bear - I'm Totally Not Down With Rob's Alien
"At noon the wind comes through
Across the bay on a clear day
And I can watch the boats come in and set their anchors
And my folks are away at the store
So I don't have to listen to anyone say anything.
And I swim out as far as I can
And float on my back
Just waiting for nothing.
I hope they never come back to this house.
It's a lot more fun alone.
I can do anything I want
And so I'm swimming
More like floating
And I'll just stay out here
Until the night comes crashing down""You could have licked the lips of God, but you chose the pavement..." ~ These Arms Are Snakes0 -
Tilly & The Wall - Blood Flower
I buried my blood years ago to encourage the vine
I waited for something to grow and flourish with time
I counted each hopeful raindrop as it fell to its death
I dusted the mournful frost and warmed it up with my breath
You'd better watch where you're walking
There might be somebody's blood flower growing
You'd better watch what you're doing
Don't go fucking around in the garden
You'd better watch where you're walking
You'd better watch what you're doing
You'd better watch where you're walking
You'd better watch what you're doing
On the night of the hunter's moon you might notice a quiet dread
Are your eyes playing tricks on you?
Yeah, maybe it's in your head
Every day a little more unsettled, you are starting to understand
You're sleeping with the lights on, with no one to hold your hand
You'd better watch where you're walking
You'd better watch what you're doing0 -
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna give it back to you
By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never bring it back to you
By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe...
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall...
You're my wonderwall...
You're my wonderwall...
You're my wonderwall.

So here we are tonight, you and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see whats on my mind
Youve got me wild, turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping up heavy inside here
And do you feel the same way as I do now
Now lets make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening
When we make our passion pictures
You and me twist up as secret creatures
And well stay here
Tommorrow go back to being friends
Go back to being friends, but tonight lets be lovers, we kiss and sweat
Well turn this better thing
To the best
Of all we can offer, just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
Im turning and turning for you
Girl, just tonight
Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tommorrow go back to your man
Im back to my world
And were back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight lets do this thing
All we are is waisting hours until the
Sun comes up its all ours
On our way here
Tommorrow go back to being friends
Go back to being friends
Tonight lets be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spooken
Whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight lets go all the way then
Love Ill see you
Just for this evening
Lets strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
Run away
And tommorrow
Back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love you
And tommorrow say goodbye"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."0 -
Some escape some door to open
this path seems the blackest but I
guess it's the soonest
but there in the clearing I
know you'll be wearing
your young aching smile and
waving your hand
can't go with my heart when I
can't feel what's in it, I
thought you'd come over
but for some reason you didn't
glass on the pavement under my shoe
without you is all my life amounts to.
A final sleep, no
words from my cutting
mouth to your ear or
taut wicked pinches
from my fingers to your bitter face
that I can't heal
I know tomorrow
you will be
somewhere in london
living with someone
you've got some kind of family
there to turn to
and that's more than I could ever give you
A chance for calm
a hope for freedom
outlet from my cold solitary kingdom
by the forest of our spring stay
where you walked away
and left a bleeding part of me
empty and bothered
watching the water
quiet in the corner
numb and falling through
without you what does my life amount to?"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"0 -

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, darlin’, 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
Least it happened quick
I swear I died inside that night
A friend, he’d 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 trouble seam so big
So big
Well 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’ll 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 under tow and pulled out deep
And there I am standing
Wet grass and white head stones, all in rows
And in the distance there’s one off on it’s 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 till the ice hits my lip
Order another round
And that’s it for now
Sorry, never been too good at happy endings"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."0
