it ain't no crime, it's just dreams we're stealing
anything to get more of this feeling

Agoraphobic Nosebleed - Dick To Mouth Resuscitation

I don't want to fuck your face
I want to wrap my dick
Around your throat and choke you

I slapped a dead man in the face
With his own hand and laughed out loud
Self-awareness on a level
You couldn't possibly conceive

It's not the weed or all the bullshit I read
It's the fucking disillusionment and suffering
Of every living being

The sixteen aspects of the four noble failures
Spend your life with tears in your eyes,
Complaining endlessly

My smile invites suspicion as life sucks like a leech
I'm giving up my ego, my desire, my vanity
All to fill one tiny need
To spread open my ass and shit on your dreams

TOOL - Vicarious

Eye on the T.V cuz tragedy thrills me.
Whatever flavor it happens to be.
(like)
Killed by the husband...
drowned by the ocean...
Shot by his own son...
she used a poison in his tea, Then she kissed him goodbye.
That's My kinda story
It's no fun till someone dies.

Don't look at me like I am a monster.
Frown out your one face but with the other you
Stare like a junkie into the T.V.
Stare like a zombie
while the mother holds her child. Watches him die.
Hands to the sky, cryin' "why, oh why?"

Cuz I need to watch things die, from a distance.
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies.
You all need it too don't lie.

Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause till the blood is flowing.
Neither the brave nor bold nor brightest of stories told,
We won't give pause till the blood is flowing.

i need to watch things die, from a good safe distance.
Vicariously, i live while the whole world dies.
you all feel the same so why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain come down. Drum on grave and ground.
Part Vampire, Part warrior, Carnivore, and Voyeur
Stare at the transmittal. Sing to the death rattle

Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen.
Shouldn't have to say it all again.
The universe is hostile. so Impersonal. devour to survive.
So it is. So it's always been.

We all feed on tragedy. It's like Blood to a vampire.
vicariously, I live while the whole world dies.
Much better you than I.

OH MY GOD YES.

I would have posted these lyrics if no one had yet. The bolded gives me shivers every time.

By one of my favorite bands:

She puts my body away
Next to the trash
Under the sink
Along with all the cleaning supplies
And the things that we buy and decide we don't need

Well it's damp and it's dark and it's lonely in here
Next to the trash
Under the sink
But everyone needs some time off now and then
And I'm happy my friends
Don't feel sorry for me

She says if you're playin' the game
I hope you know you won't win it
And you can tell me you're next to the trash
Well I'll tell you I'm in it
Why would you want me to touch it if you know I don't need it

She's right, I'm mean when I'm bored
So I dig through the trash looking for her
She could wash herself off
In the mist from the pipes
We could use more of that around here that's for sure

But it seems that whoever has thrown her away
Has forgotten the trash under the sink
Or was it a joke meant to buy her some time
All this citrus and pine make it harder to think

So I say if you're playing the game
I hope you know you won't win it
And I'll be sorry if they threw you away
It's just that they didn't
She says "Boy, you'd better take it back right now and I mean it"

She puts my body away
Then chases my mind up to the roof
It jumps in the gutter, but she pulls it out
And it's all part of having a man in the house

It jumps in the gutter and she pulls it out
And it's all part of having a man in the house

Vermillion Pt 2
She seems dressed in all of me, stretched across my shame
All the torment and the pain, leak through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her to myself, just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad

She is everything to me
The unrequited dream, a song that no one sings
The unattainable
She's a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real, is one more reason
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad

But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

Pink Love
I won't bind my strings to you, but build my world beside you
Watching you draw a line
Some say you are, you are just like a butterfly
Whose broken wings will spread
To softly feel your mood
Over the blue, blue sky
Full of you
Pink love, pink love, pink love
Just like a fairytale

It's not just a fairytale, it's painted by me
It's not just loneliness between you and I
If on magic mountain, you find you can breathe
Then stay
Don't look back to the blue woven sky

The Mermaid

One night as I lay on my bed,
I lay so fast asleep,
When the thought of my true love come running in my head,
And sailors that sail on the deep.

As I sailed out one day one day
And being not far from land,
There I saw a mermaid sat on a rock,
A comb and a glass in her hand.

Now the song she sang, she sang so sweet,
No answer at all could I say,
Till our gallant ship she swung round about,
Which made our poor hearts to ache.

Then up stepped the helmsman of our ship,
In his hand a lead and line.
For to sound the seas so wide and so deep,
No hard rock or sand could he find.

Up stepped the captain of our ship,
And a well-speaking man is he.
He says, “I have a wife in fair Plymouth town,
This night and a widow she'll be.”

Up stepped the bosun of our ship,
And a well-spoken man was he.
He says, “I have two sons in fair Bristol town,
And orphans I fear they will be.”

And then up stepped our cabin boy,
And a fine pretty boy was he.
He says, ”Oh, I grieve for my mother dear,
Whom I shall never more see.

Last night last night when the moon shone bright,
My mother she had sons five.
But now she may look in the salt salt sea
And find but one alive.”

Call for boats, call for boats, my fair Plymouth boys,
Do you hear how the trumpets sound?
For the want of a long-boat in the ocean we're lost
And most of our merry men drowned.

K - Brand New Map

The map in my hand
Is getting old
There is a road
Behind me, so I
Say goodbye to younger days...
and I say hello the real world, the real life!
Until the day I can say that
I won't be going back home

Pain can change into gentleness
I want to gaze upon the miracle of us meeting one another

It's as though I've begun to understand
The things that I can do for you
I am me
That's the bond that connects us

I’m gonna be on my way
Bye bye, my younger days
Now wipe your tears away

Time has shown me
The weakness of lies
You have shown me
The power of love

On nights where it seems like I'm going to lose to loneliness
I just gather up my memories

The things that I can do for you
Seem to be crushing me under their weight
But I've got no reason to pretend to be lonely
I just want to be blown on by the wind
The things that I can do right now
Are not that many
I just want to make you smile
You who is on the verge of saying goodbye

There is pain, and there is happiness
Tear drops make smiles
So this is enough
You don't need to be scared of anything

It's as though I've begun to understand
The things that I can do for you
The power to not let dreams end as just dreams
I want to ascertain myself of it
Before the present becomes the past
There is a place that I want to arrive at
I am me
That's the bond that connects us

I’m gonna be on my way
Bye bye, my younger days
Now wipe your tears away

 

[Roar]

Wouldn`t you like to believe it?

You got your rules and your religion
All designed to keep you safe
But when rules start getting broken
You start questioning your faith
I have a voice that is my savior
Hates to love and loves to hate
I have the voice that has the knowledge
And the power to rule your fate

Somewhat, bitch.

Passenger

Here I lay
(Still and breathless)
Just like always
(Still I want some more)
Mirrors sideways
(Who cares what's behind)
Just like always
(Still your passenger)
Chrome buttons, buckles and leather surfaces
These and other lucky witnesses
Now to calm me
This time wont you please drive faster

Roll the windows down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees anything
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger

Drop these down and
(Put them on me)
Nice cool seats
(There to cushion your knees)
Now to calm me
(Take me around again)
Just don't pull over
This time wont you please drive faster

Roll the windows down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees what tonight
Roll these misty windows down
To catch my breath again
And then go and go and go just drive me home
Then back again

Here I lay just like always
Don't let me..(go)
Go take me to the edge

Academia

you can be my alphabet and i will be your calculator
and together we’ll work out on the escalator
i will time you as you run up the down
and you’ll measure my footsteps as i blow through this town

the mean of our heights is divided by the nights
which is times’d by the daggers and the route of all our fights,
the pass of your poem is to swathe me in your knowing
and the beauty of the word is that you don’t have to show it

oh academia you can’t pick me up
soothe me with your words when i need your love

i am a dash and you are a dot
when will you see that i am all that you’ve got
i’m a binary code that you cracked long ago
but to you i’m just a novel that you wish you’d never wrote

i’m greater than x and lesser than y, so why is it
that i still can’t catch your eye?
you’re a cryptic crossword, a song i’ve never heard
while i sit here drawing circles i’m afraid of being hurt

oh academia you can’t pick me up
soothe me with your words when i need your love

you’re a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion
will you listen to my proof or will you add another page on
it appears to me the graph has come and stolen all the laughs
it appears to me the pen has over analysed again

and if i am a number i’m infinity plus one
and if you are five words you are afraid to be the one
and if you are a number you’re infinity plus one
and if i am four words then i am needing of your love

oh academia you can’t pick me up
soothe me with your words when i need your love

academia
academia
academia
academia

Matchbox twenty - Unwell

All day
Staring at the ceiling making
Friends with shadows on my wall
All night
I'm hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good
For something

Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why

(chorus)
I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

See me
Talking to myself in public
And dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me

Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind

(chorus)

Talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
They'll be taking me away

 

[Nijntje]

the farther I fall I'm beside you
as lost as I get I will find you
the deeper the wound I'm inside you
for ever and ever I'm a part of

 

[EJCC]

One of my favorite songs of all time.

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones there is water underground.

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground.

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

 

[Aquarelle]

It's Saturday morning
Don't know what to do
Since Monday morning
I've been dreaming 'bout you
Seven days a week now
Seven days a week....

 

[stigmatica]

So ya
Thought ya
Might like to go to the show.
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow.
Tell me is something eluding you, sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise.

 

[Noon]

So long as your mind falls for life, then life will fall for you
and I will love you for another life and another you
But as long as you will shadow me, then I won't bear the fruits
that will want to make me love you another night and another you

So long as your eyes follow mine, then mine will fall on you
and I will blind you for another night and another moon
But as long as you will battle me, then I will stand accused
with a mind that will make you wonder, "Is there a sun or is there a moon?"

Rob Baldur - Rich Fantasy Lives
That waitress at Pete's who took so long to seat you,
And left you to stand in the doorway,
With her stringy red hair and her thousand-yard stare,
In her mind, she's the Princess of Norway.

As she takes down your order, she's crossing the fjord, her
White stallion spits foam like a madman.
Many Vikings have died trying to take her as bride,
But her heart is reserved for a bad man.

Rich fantasy lives.
Somehow she survives in a world she contrives.
Inhibited husbands and frustrated wives
Lead rich fantasy lives.

That guy from IT ressurects your PC
With a boredom he barely suppresses.
Though he rarely converses, he has more universes
In his head than you've got addresses.

He wargames through weekends, leads armies and legions.
He doesn't care how well you putted.
He's browsing reality's infinite palette, he's
Seen yours, and yours doesn't cut it.

Rich fantasy lives.
He quietly thrives in a world he contrives.
Techno-drone insects in cubicle hives
Lead rich fantasy lives.

We're piling up fears, but we're out of frontiers.
Some need to escape, but there's nowhere.
Can't go to the Moon, at least any time soon,
But an inner-space trip costs you no fare.

So don't be unkind to a wandering mind,
Just say it again if we missed it.
Some whispering poem was calling us home
To a place we know never existed.

Rich fantasy lives.
Our peace-bonded knives and our hyperspace drives.
Until that steam engine to Hogwarts arrives,
We have rich fantasy lives.

Rich fantasy lives.
Our quests and our tribes and our Babylon Fives.
Until something better than this world arrives,
We'll lead rich fantasy lives.
Rich fantasy lives.

Tarja - Falling Awake
Phantom voices with no words to follow
At the mercy of the cold and hollow
I withdrew into my sanctuary of silence
My defence

In this moment I am just becoming
Liberated from my cell of nothing
No sensation there was only breathing
Overcome oblivion

Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I am Falling
I am falling awake

Waves of melodies once forgotten
like a symphony across the ocean
Never knew that they could hear my calling
deep within
crashing in
rushing in
like falling

Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I am Falling
I am falling awake

There is no returning to that emptiness,
loneliness
The dream that lives inside of me
won't fade away, it's wide awake

Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I am Falling
I am falling awake



Abney Park - I've been wrong before
I don't believe in UFOs and little men from Mars
I don't believe in magic lamps bought at junk bazaars
I don't believe the world will ever be without a war
I don't believe a lot of things--
But I've been wrong before!

I don't believe the souls of man can haunt you after life.
I don't believe the world hangs on the edge of a knife.
I don't believe we should stop thinking for an oath we swore.
I don't believe a lot of things--
But I've been wrong before!

People tell me their crazy yarns
Like ghosts, and Gods, and ESP, and UFOs in barns.
But if half this crap has turned out true--
If you close your mind at this point, the only fool is you!

I don't believe a God above invented all that's good.
I don't believe that there's a need to rush from childhood
I don't believe the world began with a lion's roar
I don't believe a lot of things--
But I've been wrong before!

People tell me their crazy yarns
Like ghosts sometimes, and ESP, and UFOs in barns
Half this crap has turned out true--
If you close your mind at this point, the only fool is you!

I don't believe it's always kind to say the nicest thing.
I don't believe a "sugar lie" is aw-inspiring.
I don't believe in posing kind and sneaking out the door
I don't believe a lot of things--
But I've been wrong before!

Abney Park - Beautiful Decline
Fingers of rust gently intertwine
Lace the seams of sacrifice in beautiful decline
Catalysis of creations of all that was mankind
Pull our corruption towards nature,
the state that's predefined

Rust forms, bringing it all down
Wood rots, and into the ground
Flesh falls; life's decomposed
Then nature is again exposed.

All that floats upon the sea, all that hangs in the air
All that sits in dust or dirt eventually ensnared.
The gentle touch of time will take you unaware
Pulling all creations down, an elegant affair.

Rust forms, bringing it all down
Wood rots, and into the ground
Flesh falls; life's decomposed
Then nature is again exposed

Pleasant patina pulls apart a holy copper shrine
Like gently creeping mossy claws, scarring all divine.
All the things you think you value, including the gift of life
Will slowly, gently fall apart, 'til the world is right.

Rust forms, bringing it all down
Wood rots, and into the ground
Flesh falls; life's decomposed
Then nature is again exposed

 

[Aquarelle]

On Raglan Road
on an autumn day
I saw her first and knew
That her dark hair
would weave a snare
That I might one day rue

I saw the danger
and I passed
a long enchanted way
I said let grief
Be a falling leaf
at the dawning of the day

On Grafton Street
in November
We tread lightly along a ledge
of a deep ravine
where can be seen
the worth of passion's pledge

The queen of hearts
still making tarts
and I not making hay
I loved too much
and by such, by such
is happiness thrown away

 

[Aquarelle]

Oh man, I love every single line of this song

All for You
~ Our Lady Peace ~


A suburban man at my door
But I don’t think I’ll let him in
He wants discipline, discipline
control over the way I live
He wants the best for me
old school philosophy
And I can’t turn my back on him
He's a part of me
He’d buy me anything
But I just need a friend

It’s all for you
You’ve got me where you want
It’s all for you
Just stop breaking my heart
You’re the blood I’m the seed and
You’re all that I need
You’ve got me where you want

It’s all for you
You’ve got me, oh you've got me

Jack Kerouac, Kerouac on the road
And in my head
I need relevance, intelligence
A new tattoo, a lot more sex
Broken families are
the new enemies
And you will not make up for this
This suburban man,
he wants discipline
But I just need a friend

 

[EJCC]

The song from my signature:

And I know now
and you know as well
so we’re not alone
took this long to recognize
took so long to analyze
bring it round and round again

I know we’re at the end, it’s a
lonely road beyond conclusion
I know we’ve got friends who can
help us understand the breach

and we won’t tell
and they won’t talk about it
as we go our separate ways
as we go our separate ways

I know Superman couldn’t
stop the rain from finding its way in,
I know heroes laugh at the
dumb mistakes we make

I know we’re at the end
it’s a lonely road beyond conclusion
I know we’ve got friends who can
help us understand the breach
you understand that this is
far beyond our reach

Heaven help us find a way out
find a way out
help me find a way out
I'm tired of this, I’m tired of this
Can you get off your high horse
this is the end of the ride
can you stop pretending
I’m sick of this shit, acting like this,

does it make you feel better?
it should make you feel better
does it make you feel better?
does it make you feel better?

I know Superman couldn’t
stop the rain from finding its way in
I know heroes laugh at the
dumb mistakes we make

I know we’re at the end, it’s a
lonely road beyond conclusion
I know we’ve got friends who can
help us understand the breach

You understand that this is
far beyond our reach,
Heaven help us
