Cub...

This is by Gene.

Love is no more than this
And all from your tatty kiss
Never alive until twenty five
You can have all I know
Never alive until twenty five

If you ask me to
I'll say to you I do

I really do want to show you I love you
I now know why I was born
My vision is clear
You've killed all my fear
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

The world we now stand astride
Just watch and we'll halt the tides
Never alive until late twenty five
And all in a world which hates
Anything delicate
Never alive until twenty five

If you ask me to
I'll say to you I do

I really do want to show you I love you
I now know why I was born
My vision is clear
But there's something in here
Screaming don't let me go
Don't let me go
 
No Regrets - Aesop Rock


Lucy was 7 and wore a head of blue barettes
City born, into this world with no knowledge and no regrets
Had a piece of yellow chalk with which she'd draw upon the street
The many faces of the various locals that she would meet
There was joshua, age 10
Bully of the block
Who always took her milk money at the morning bus stop
There was Mrs. Crabtree, and her poodle
She always gave a wave and holler on her weekly trip down to the bingo parlor
And she drew
Men, women, kids, sunsets, clouds
And she drew
Skyscrapers, fruit stands, cities, towns
Always said hello to passers-by
They'd ask her why she passed her time
Attachin lines to concrete
But she would only smile
Now all the other children living in or near her building
Ran around like tyrants, soaking up the open fire hydrants
They would say
'Hey little Lucy, wanna come jump double dutch?'
Lucy would pause, look, grin and say
'I'm busy, thank you much'
Well, well, one year passed
And believe it or not
She covered every last inch of the entire sidewalk,
And she stopped
'Lucy, after all this, you're just giving in today?'
She said:
'I'm not giving in, I'm finished,' and walked away

(Chorus: x2)
1 2 3
That's the speed of the seed
A B C
That's the speed of the need
You can dream a little dream
Or you can live a little dream
I'd rather live it
Cuz dreamers always chase
But never get it

Now Lucy was 37, and introverted somewhat
Basement apartment in the same building she grew up in
She traded in her blue barettes for long locks held up with a clip
Traded in her yellow chalk for charcoal sticks
And she drew
Little bobby who would come to sweep the porch
And she drew
The mailman, delivered everyday at 4
Lucy had very little contact with the folks outside her cubicle day
But she found it suitable, and she liked it that way
She had a man now: Rico, similar, hermit

They would only see each other once or twice a week on purpose
They appreciated space and Rico was an artist too
So they'd connect on saturdays to share the pictures that they drew
(Look!)
Now every month or so, she'd get a knock upon the front door
Just one of the neighbors,
Actin nice, although she was a strange girl, really
Say, 'Lucy, wanna join me for some lunch??'
Lucy would smile and say 'I'm busy, thank you much'
And they would make a weird face the second the door shut
And run and tell their friends how truly crazy Lucy was
And lucy knew what people thought but didn't care
Cuz while they spread their rumors through the street
She'd paint another masterpiece

(Chorus x2)

Lucy was 87, upon her death bed
At the senior home, where she had previously checked in
Traded in the locks and clips for a head rest
Traded in the charcoal sticks for arthritis, it had to happen
And she drew no more, just sat and watched the dawn
Had a television in the room that she'd never turned on
Lucy pinned up a life worth's of pictures on the wall
And sat and smiled, looked each one over, just to laugh at it all
No Rico, he had passed, 'bout 5 years back
So the visiting hours pulled in a big flock o' nothin
She'd never spoken once throughout the spanning of her life
Until the day she leaned forward, grinned and pulled the nurse aside
And she said:
'Look, I've never had a dream in my life
Because a dream is what you wanna do, but still haven't pursued
I knew what I wanted and did it 'til it was done
So i've been the dream that I wanted to be since day one!'

Well!
The nurse jumped back,
She'd never heard Lucy even talk,
'Specially words like that
She walked over to the door, and pulled it closed behind
Then Lucy blew a kiss to each one of her pictures
And she died.
 
Snail
Smashing Pumpkins

All your seven dreams
Look close, son, and you'll believe
As your things come undone
See you are the only one

Flower, seize the hour I did
I wait
Waiting, waiting for your wake
I'll wait

When you wake up you're all weak
Throwing your life away
Someday, sorry coming home
Sorry snail
What you wait for

Flower, the pain will wash away, away
When the sun shines
Climbs through your window into your bed

When you wake up you're all weak
Throwing your life away
Someday, sorry coming home
Sorry snail
Down in my heart

Flower save the hours
Flower away

What you wait for
Flower chase the sunshine
Flower chase the sunshine
Flower
 
Joy Division - Isolation

In fear every day, every evening,
He calls her aloud from above,
Carefully watched for a reason,
Painstaking devotion and love,
Surrendered to self preservation,
From others who care for themselves.
A blindness that touches perfection,
But hurts just like anything else.

Isolation, isolation, isolation.

Mother I tried please believe me,
I'm doing the best that I can.
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through,
I'm ashamed of the person I am.

Isolation, isolation, isolation.

But if you could just see the beauty,
These things I could never describe,
These pleasures a wayward distraction,
This is my one lucky prize.

Isolation, isolation, isolation...
 
Same artists as my last post - Black Sabbath - wrote this song, what i feel to be a beautiful depiction of drug addiction (or thats how i interpret it)
im Black Sabbath mad btw, if its not obvious

SELLING MY SOUL
Man of madness who lives in my head
Keeping me awake at night he sits on my bed
He drives me crazy
He won't go away
Playing his game every night and every day yeah

My mind feels heavy
My body feels weak
Suicidal thoughts
Crying out for some sleep
Impending doom is what I'm about
Think I'm going out without a shadow of doubt

I search for serenity yeah
Is it really out there?
I don't read the Holy books cos
They take me nowhere
I can't hold on - yes I'm losing control
I'm paying the price now for selling my soul
Selling my soul
 
Katatonia - No Devotion

i've turned down all devotion
i'm so far from being here
can't bring forth more power
than i have already done

tonight i'm trying
and i see all dread in me

but then i lose again
all hope of being someone
this lack of devotion
will put me to an end

so if you want to save me
and stop me when i run
just tell me that i'll have now
a day less to live when i'm done
 
JUNKIE - Ozzy again, but by himself with Zakk Wylde on guitar
You're coming down badly
You're crippled inside
A rat in your sewer
You've no place to hide
A gut-wrenching fever
Addicted to death
You don't give a fuck
If it means your last breath

You try so hard to quit but you'll never admit
You're the junkie
There's no reasoning why cos the mirror don't lie
You're the junkie

You crave for the needle
To stick in your vein
Can't wait for the poison
To kill all the pain
You buy your cheap ticket
To take a short ride
That beautiful flower
Is eating your mind

Your name means nothing
You don't know the score
Body is aching
You still crave for more
Sometimes you wish
That you'd never been born
Tormenting came with
A crown full of thorns

You're chasing the dragon
You're chasing the high
A bird with one wing
Who's still trying to fly
You're all out of spirit
A dead man alive
A born-again junkie
You'll never survive

this song was used in the movie 'Spun', and i really relate to it, even though im off hard drugs now
 
ATMOSPHERE - Reflections

You kiss like you already came
And that's a lifter puller line for those without any game
 
Lynn Loretta - Portland, Oregon

Artist/Band: Lynn Loretta
Lyrics for Song: Portland Oregon
Lyrics for Album: Van Lear Rose
(Duet With Jack White)

Well Portland Oregon and sloe gin fizz
If that ain't love then tell me what is
Well I lost my heart it didn't take no time
But that ain't all. I lost my mind in Oregon

In a booth in the corner with the lights down low
I was movin' in fast she was takin' it slow
Well I looked at him and caught him lookin' at me
I knew right then we were playin' free in Oregon

Next day we knew last night got drunk
But we loved enough for the both of us
In the morning when the night had sobered up
It was much too late for the both of us in Oregon

Well sloe gin fizz works might fast
When you drink it by the pitcher and not by the glass
Hey bartender before you close
Pour us one more drink and a pitcher to go

And a pitcher to go [repeat]
Click to expand...

I'm missing my "home" in Portland, Oregon so much recently. I'm volunteering in China at the moment.

*sigh* it's hard missing home.
 
RUNNING OUT OF TIME - Ozzy Osbourne (guess who my fav singer is)
Been around this world so many times
If you could only see my mind
I watch my secret heaven turn to hell
Faith alone has guided me
The ghost of my own destiny
I haven't even got a soul to sell

All the things I put me through
I wouldn't wish my hell on you
You'll never know what's going on inside

Just another lonely broken hero
Picking up the pieces of my mind
Running out of faith and hope and reason
I'm running out of time

Trouble always seems to find
A way to live inside my mind
My haunted head and me remain alone
Underneath my masquerade
A simple man who's so afraid
I try to find a light to guide me home

Mama please just hold me tight
Feeling so afraid tonight
Cause you're the only one that really knows

Fighting for my sanity
Many nights of tragedy
Got to leave my wretched ways behind
 
PEDRO THE LION LYRICS

"Penetration"

Have you ever seen and idealist with grey hairs on his head
Or successful men that keep in touch with unsuccessful friends
You only think you did
I could have sworn I saw it too
But as it turns out
It was just a clever ad for cigarettes

'Cause if it isn't making dollars
Then it isn't making sense
If you aren't moving units
Then you're not worth the expense
If you really want to make it
You had best remember this
If it isn't penetration
The it isn't worth the kiss

We're so sorry sir
But you did not quite make the cut this time
And we'd appreciate it if you cleared you stuff on out by five
Don't take it personal
Everyone knows you did your best
If it makes it easier
You should look at it from our perspective

'Cause if it isn't making dollars
Then it isn't making sense
If you aren't moving units
Then you're not worth the expense
If you really want to make it
You had best remember this
If it isn't penetration
Then it isn't worth the kiss
 
The Monkey and the Engineer - grateful dead

Once upon a time there was an Engineer
Drove a locomotive both far an near
accompanied by a monkey who would sit on a stool
watching everything the engineer would move

One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat
he left the monkey sitting on driver's seat
the monkey pulled the throttle locomotive jumped the gun
and did 90 miles an hour down the main line run

big locomotive right on time
big locomotive comin' down the line
big locomotive number 99
left the engineer with a worried mind

the engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone
tell him all about his locomotive was gone
get on the wire switch operator was right
the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight

switch operator got the message in time
says theres a northbound comin' on the same main line
open up the section let him through the hole
'cuz the monkeys' got the locomotive under control

big locomotive right on time
big locomotive comin' down the line
big locomotive number 99
left the engineer with a worried mind
worried mind..
worried mind..

big locomotive right on time
big locomotive comin' down the line
big locomotive number 99
left the engineer with a worried mind
left the engineer with a worried mind
left the engineer with a worried mind
 
Take me down...

... six underground,
The ground beneath your feet.

Laid out low, nothing to go,
Nowhere a way to meet.

I've got a head full of drought down here,
So far off losing out, 'round here,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace.

* * *

Calm me down, bring it round,
Too way high off your street.

I can see, like nothing else...
In me, you're better than I wanna be.

Don't think 'cos I understand, I care...
Don't think 'cos I'm talking, we're friends...

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace.

* * * *

Talk me down, safe and sound,
Too strung up to sleep.
Wear me out, scream and shout,
I swear my time's never cheap.

I fake my life like I've lived, too much...
I take whatever you're givin', not enough,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open...

I fake my life
like I've lived,
too much...
I take whatever
you're givin',
not enough,

Overground,
watch this space,

I'm open
to falling
from grace.

for cub, who doesnt want me anymore.

Love Has Passed Away

Today I woke up with a headache
I took some pills but I don't think that I'm ready
To face the truth in world without you
I'm so tired, I turned on the TV,
But it's just not the same when you're not here with me
To laugh at my jokes,
Put a stick in my spokes, well
Love has passed away
But I visit it's grave every day
I put my coat on and outside it's pouring
My city's dull, and my life is so boring
I feel see-through, in a world without you
Love has passed away
But I visit it's grave every day
I'm still touched by your presence, dear
It's just not the same when you're not here
I'm still touched by your presence, dear
Today I woke up with a headache
I took some pills but I don't think that I'm ready
To face the world without you
I've given up on the way I look
Stopped going to the football
And I've stopped reading books
I keep myself together by saying it's not forever
Love has passed away
But I visit it's grave every day
I'm still touched by your presence, dear
It's just not the same when you're not here
I'm still touched by your presence, dear
Love has passed away
But I visit it's grave every day
 
Lost my daughter, Lila, back in January.. This song makes me think of her.

Jen Foster
Sleeping

Well, here we are
Our final meeting
If you told me it would end like this
I wouldn't have believed
I'd be standing here above you
Crying tears upon your face
Imagining your eyes would open
If only I'd say the right thing
If I could say the right thing
And it looks just like you are sleeping
So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day
And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming
I only wish you could awake before the angels carried you away
So it's time to let you go
Fly away now and be free
And in your never-ending slumber
Will you please save a dream for me
And I will gently place this flower
In your hand before I leave
They say you cannot take it with you
But this could be the one thing
This love could be the one thing
And it looks just like you are sleeping
So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day
And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming
I only wish you could awake before the angels carried you away
Carried you away
And it looks just like you are sleeping
So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day
And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming
I only wish you could awake before the angels carried you away
 
Tori Amos=Pandora's Aquarium

pandora
pandora's aquarium
she dives for shells
with her nautical nuns
and thoughts you thought
you'd never tell

i am not asking you to believe in me
boy i think you're confused
i'm not persephone
foam can be dangerous
with tape across my mouth
those things you do
i never asked you how

line me up in single file
with all your grievances
stare but i can taste
you're still alive
below the waste
ripples come and ripples go
and ripple back to me

pandora
pandora's aquarium
she dives for shells
with her nautical nuns
and thoughts you thought
you'd never tell
line me up in single file
with all your grievances
stare but i can taste
you're still alive below the waste
ripples come and ripples go
and ripple back to me
i am not asking you to believe in me

boy i think you're confused
i'm not persephone
she's in new york somewhere
checking her accounts
the lord of the flies was diagnosed as sound....

The Cure - Prayers For Rain

you shatter me
your grip on me
a hold on me
so dull it kills
you stifle me
infectious sense
of hopelessness and
prayers for rain
i suffocate
i breathe in dirt
and nowhere shines
but desolate
and drab the hours all spent
on killing time again
all waiting for
the rain

you fracture me
your hands on me
a touch so plain
so stale it kills
you strangle me
entangle me
in hopelessness and
prayers for rain
i deteriorate
i live in dirt
and nowhere glows
but drearily and tired
the hours all spent
on killing time again
all waiting for
the rain
 
Never Too Late

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get back
The life we had
Won't be ours again

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
It's not too late
It's never too late

Antimatter - Another Face In A Window

They're all the same, assimilated
And here am I born of a lost cause
The underdog, an alien in drag, dying

So whos to say there's any shame in
being alone when the dogs are outside
In packs of ten, their muzzles removed, biting

I tried to save my inner sanctum
While all around were still playing with fire
The fact remains
I've never been moved to sell myself

I don't want to be another face in a window
Seeing life through a screen, bathed in a warm glow

Fade like so ...
