Post some lyrics from the song you're listening to

I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or a sess.
'Cause its known to give a brother brain damage.
And brain damage on the mic don't manage
Nothin'
But makin' a sucker and you equal.
Don't be another sequel...

I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave

Trust in me and fall as well

I want, what I want
I want, what I want
I want, what I want
I want, what I want

Everything inside pulling me so far away
Everything you want, time will save us now
Falling through the atmosphere
We are loosing everything
Goodbye friends, and farewell

I can't get it out
The way I'd like to put it down
The way I hear it in my head
When I cannot sleep
Or cannot awake

"Just paint your face" the shadows smile
Slipping me away from you
"Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
Find you if we're wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired..."

Up every morning just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob
Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain
While another day goes down the drain
Yeah, yeah, yeah

But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes
Thinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah
Oh my lady, yeah

Tradin' my time for the pay I get
Livin' on money that I ain't made yet
I've been goin' tryin' to make my way
But I live for the end of the day
Yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know
To ease my troubled mind, yeah
Oh my lady, yeah

In the shelter of her arms everything's OK
When she talks, then the world goes slippin' away
And I know the reason I can still go on
When every other reason is gone
Yeah, yeah, yeah


In my five o'clock world, she waits for me
Nothing else matters at all
'Cause every time my baby smiles at me
I know that's it's all worthwhile, yeah
Oh my lady, yeah
Oh my lady, yeah
Oh my lady, yeah

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I'll be chasing a starlight
Untill the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away...

Like an athlete, a long distance runner
On a track meet spring, fall, winter, summer
They attack me, but it gon' make me stronger
Get at me dawg when your patience's longer
An athlete, a long distance runner
On a track meet spring, fall, winter, summer
They attack me, but it gon' make me stronger
Get at me dawg...

From heroes of past ages no even names were left
Those who fought hard battles, has become by ground and the grass
Their mighty spirit lives in the hearts of the ones who are today

"Eternal fire" by Evgeniy Agranovich

Oh, Uncle Joe
Could you tell me what you know?
I've been having mental problems
And the solution is unclear

I'll give anything a try once
I'll try anything three times
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care

But there's no company
That can stand to be with me
So my dependency on you grows

And I am not very well read
And they say I will lose my house
And can you spare me of my pain?
And can you spare me of my tears?

Oh, Uncle Joe, Uncle Joe
Uncle Joe, Uncle Joe

Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La Vie En Rose

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose

He's not like the other boys
Around here
He says nothing and sits in his
Room and he's afraid to
And he's afraid to drive a car
So sad he is

They say the Sun is dying, and the fragile can't be saved. And that the cold it will devour us, and we won't rise up, and slay giants.

They're wrong...

The dawn to end all nights
That's all we hoped it was
A break from the warfare in your house
To each his own
The soldier is bailing out
And curled his lips on a bar
And I don't know if the dead can talk
To anyone

Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many hands
Are you one of us?

"Beseech he who darken the stars and the sky, to greet now this vision of an emerald dawn."

You want to talk about things you won't understand?
Then give me your ears
Put them in my hands
Give me your hands, put them over my ears
So I don't have to hear a thing I say
If it makes me think

I can't talk about things I don't understand
So I leave it here
In empty hands
And I leave off the ink so I don't have to think
Or sink that low ever again

Because my memory of what's good
Is leaving me, I knew it would
That part of me makes no sense
'Cause that part of me is my conscience

The pictures tell the story
This life had many shades
I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day
I'd take a drag from last nights cigarette
That smoldered in its tray
Down a little something and then be on my way

Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist
Keep on loving, keep on fighting
And hold on, and hold on,
hold on for your life

Tonight an airplane flies above us,
Tomorrow it will crash into the ocean
And all the passengers will die...
Tomorrow, somewhere, who knows where?
There will be war, an epidemic, a huge blizzard...
And black holes in the vastness of space...


So watch out for yourself, be careful...

"Oh it’s opening time
Down on Fascination Street
So let’s cut the conversation
And get out for a bit
Because I feel it all fading and paling
And I’m begging
To drag you down with me
To kick the last nail in
Yeah! I like you in that
Like I like you to scream
But if you open your mouth
Then I can’t be responsible
For quite what goes in
Or to care what comes out
So just pull on your hair
Just pull on your pout
And let’s move to the beat
Like we know that it’s over
If you slip going under
Slip over my shoulder
So just pull on your face
Just pull on your feet
And let’s hit opening time
Down on Fascination Street

So pull on your hair
Pull on your pout
Cut the conversation
Just open your mouth
Pull on your face
Pull on your feet
And let’s hit opening time
Down on Fascination Street"

I've been sleeping with my clothes on again
And in my pocket I find some pills
The darkness and the hangover makes it impossible
To see what the hell it is
Without caring I swallow it all
With the remains of a stale beer
Run my fingers through my greasy hair
And think, what difference would it make
If I never woke up again?

I just want to let you know
I’m seeing the sides that you don't show
And I know that we've got some potential
'Cause that look you gave me was so gentle

Do you think that you could stay?
I need more time, I need to get away from here
Pour my love out
Spill it all on the ground
Is it all in my head? What are you saying?
Usually I'd be fine, but my head is spinning
I never let anybody in
Somehow you got under my skin

All I'm tryna say
Is I miss you in every way
Fingertips on my back
Things I know that I can't have

And he was walking in the garden,
And he was walking in the night,
And he was singing a sad love song,
And he was praying for his life.

And the stars came out around him.
He was thinking of his sins.
And he's looking at his song-bird,
And he's looking at his wings.

There, inside the garden,
Came another. With his lips,
Said, "Won't you come and be my lover?
Let me give you a little kiss."

And he came, knelt down before him,
And fell upon his knees,
"I will give you gold and mountains
If you stay awhile with me."

And there was trouble taking place.
Trouble taking place

There, inside the garden,
They kissed, and the sun rose.
And he walked a little further,
And he found he was alone.

And the wind, it gathered 'round him.
He was thinking of his sins.
And he's looking for his song-bird,
He was looking for his wings.

And there was trouble taking place.
Trouble taking place
And there was trouble taking place.
Trouble taking place

Please don't make my wedding dress
I'm too young to marry yet
Can you see my pocket knife?
You can't make me be a wife
How the world just turns & turns
How does anybody learn?

Flowers I can do without
I don't wanna be tied down
White material will stain
My pocket knife's gotta shiny blade
I'm not trying to cause a fuss
I just wanna make my own fuck-ups
I'm not trying to break your heart
I'm just trying not to fall apart

Baby I'm the weatherman, I don't make the plans
I just tell you how I am living

The meteorologist is not responsible for all of your problems, I swear to you
I live a life where the money is nice and I'm laughing hysterical
We would take flights just to be with you baby
I speak of love and they see me as crazy
So I'ma just do what I've been doing lately
And hope for the best, one day I'll be the greatest, I hope
Cause I work for all of this shit

Baby tell me what you thinking
I just tell it how it is cause I know you can't envision
Babe, I'm sorry.

Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play

Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said
What she said

I am cut up in her mind.
Let me fall, let me slip.

And how much will it take for me to fall awake?
And what cost for a mate?
How much must I take?

Water falls from their eyes, mine are fine.
I'd drown in their brine.
A stupid thought,
the loving kind.

"Fiona come closer, shut softly your watery eyes..."

When you were drowsier
You were not quick to scare
Back then I could take you
Back then I could move you around


And no man is beautiful
But be kind to me
I'll make a sudden change in uniform
But it's still me
I've owned you for centuries

https://i.ibb.co/gzg8sB6/Wish-you-were-here-lyrics.jpg

I sing this at people all the time nowadays.

It seems, my main thing was to be major paid
The game sharper than a motherfuckin' razor blade

I feel you
Your sun it shines
I feel you
Within my mind
You take me there
You take me where
The kingdom comes
You take me to
And lead me through Babylon

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again
You take me to
And lead me through oblivion

I feel you
Your precious soul
And I am whole
I feel you
Your rising sun
My kingdom comes

I feel you
Each move you make
I feel you
Each breath you take
Where angels sing
And spread their wings
My love's on high
You take me home
To glory's throne
By and by

Hold what I love like a knife,
but it's not love I feel inside.
Some just want someone to bite.
I'll hold my love, it gets cold at night.

Still not there, stars aren't too hard to share.
Still don't care, I see you painted everywhere.

I think I need a quarantine, I rub my eyes
with gasoline.
If you just wouldn't be so mean.
I need a friend to keep me clean.

The past is a grotesque animal
And in its eyes you see
How completely wrong you can be
How completely wrong you can be

The sun is out, it melts the snow that fell yesterday
Makes you wonder why it bothered

I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met
Who could appreciate Georges Bataille
Standing at Swedish festival discussing "Story of the Eye"
Discussing "Story of the Eye"

It's so embarrassing to need someone like I do you
How can I explain, I need you here and not here too
How can I explain, I need you here and not here too

I'm flunking out, I'm flunking out, I'm gone, I'm just gone
But at least I author my own disaster
At least I author my own disaster

Performance breakdown and I don't want to hear it
I'm just not available
Things could be different but they're not
Things could be different but they're not

The mousy girl screams, "Violence! Violence!"
The mousy girl screams, "Violence! Violence!"
She gets hysterical because they're both so mean
And it's my favorite scene

But the cruelty's so predictable
It makes you sad on the stage
Though our love project has so much potential
But it's like we weren't made for this world
(Though I wouldn't really want to meet someone who was)

Do I have to scream in your face?
I've been dodging lamps and vegetables
Throw it all in my face, I don't care
Let's just have some fun
Let's tear this sh*t apart
Let's tear the fucking house apart
Let's tear our fucking bodies apart
But let's just have some fun

Somehow you've red-rovered the gestapo circling my heart
And nothing can defeat you
No death, no ugly world
You've lived so brightly
You've altered everything
I find myself searching for old selves
While speeding forward through the plate glass of maturing cells

I've played the unraveler, the parhelion
But even apocalypse is fleeting
There's no death, no ugly world

Sometimes I wonder if you're mythologizing me like I do you
Mythologizing me like I do you

We want our film to be beautiful, not realistic
Perceive me in the radiance of terror dreams
And you can betray me
You can, you can betray me

But teach me something wonderful
Crown my head, crowd my head
With your lilting effects
Project your fears on to me, I need to view them
See, there's nothing to them
I promise you, there's nothing to them

I'm so touched by your goodness
You make me feel so criminal
How do you keep it together?
I'm all, all unraveled

But you know, no matter where we are
We're always touching by underground wires

I've explored you with the detachment of an analyst
But most nights we've raided the same kingdoms
And none of our secrets are physical
None of our secrets are physical
None of our secrets are physical now

What a shitty thing to say
Did you really mean it?
You never said a word to me about what passed between us
So now I'm leaving you alone
You can do whatever the hell you want to
Na, na, na, na, na, na.

Went through friends, some of them I put on, but they just left
They said they was ridin' to the death, but where the fuck are they now?
Now that I need them, I don't see none of them
All I see is Slim, fuck all you fair-weather friends, all I need is him

My daddy was shy, he lived in Cheyenne
He turned as red as I've ever seen a man
And his skin was thick, and he was hard as a brick
And just couldn't talk to no one
And that must be where I get it from

My uncle worked in a plutonium mine
His job was to set up the dynamite
And he got too close to a charge underground
And all of his feelings went numb
And that must be where I get it from

Kiyay, yippee eiyo

Jonathan, call again
Take me to Coney Island
Take me on the train
Kiss me while I calculate
And calibrate and heaven's sake
Don't make me explain
Just tolerate my little fist
Tugging on your forest chest
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
Jonathan, anything
And anyone that you have done
Has gotta be alright with me
If she's part of
The reason you are how you are
She's alright with me
Just tolerate my little fist
Tugging on your forest chest
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything
I don't wanna talk about
I don't wanna talk about anything

Wrote you this
I hope you got it safe
It's been so long
I don't know what to say
I've traveled 'round
Through deserts on my horse
But jokes aside
I want to come back home
You know that night
I said I had to go
You said you'd meet me
On the sunny road
It's time, meet me on the sunny road
It's time, meet me on the sunny road
I never married
Never had those kids
I loved too many
Now heaven's closed its gates.
I know I'm bad
To jump on you like this
Some things don't change
My middle name's still 'Risk'
I know that night
So long long time ago
Will you still meet me
On the sunny road
It's time, meet me on the sunny road
It's time, meet me on the sunny road
Well, this is it
I'm running out of space
Here is my address
And number just in case.
This time as one
We'll find which way to go
Now come and meet me
On the sunny road

Send me off shore
It's a cold blooded war
I can't win
I give in
I give in

In the field of my fight
We can wonder all night
Why we have
All this love
All this love

You and I, we were drawn
In the break of the dawn
With the boreal wind
But we can't change the world
No we can't change the world
It's been done
By someone
Long ago

Send me off shore
There's a bright semaphore
Calling in
Every wind
Every wind

In the loop of my game
There's a whole life to blame
It's been done
But we won
What we won

You and I, we both run
With an unloaded gun
For the same piece of land
Where no endings end
But we can't change the world
No we can't change the world
It's been done
By someone
Long ago

Send me off shore
She's a cold blooded war
I can't win
I give in
I give in

This morning they killed the candymaker
Three shots to his head from a .45
I don't want to end up in the paper
Or kill a man just to watch him die

I don't mean to judge the man that murders
I don't care to unsympathize
Though I am neither victim nor killer
I see myself in both of their eyes

But what drives a man to kill another
And leave his body in the dirt to bleed?
Ain't he also my brother?
Ain't you happy you are here with me?

Standing on the beach
With a gun in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring down the barrel
At the Arab on the ground
I can see his open mouth
But I hear no sound
I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an Arab
I can turn
And walk away
Or I can fire the gun
Staring at the sky
Staring at the sun
Whichever I chose
It amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing
I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an Arab

I feel the steel butt jump
Smooth in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring at myself
Reflected in the eyes
Of the dead man on the beach
The dead man on the beach
I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an Arab

Culture recycled and commodified
Fact and belief becomes homogenized
Total absorption, the past is erased
A fairy tale history is put in its place

Lickspittle newsmen sell religion like soap
Hanging the dimwits from their shiny new rope
The promise of heaven was enough to entice
They turned into zombies for an army of Christ

Total obedience, the plan is complete
Flag waving, behaving, religious, elite
Comatose, they do naught but consume
And consume and consume and consume and consume!!!!

Look into my eyes, don't you trust me
yr so good you could go far
I'll put you in a movie, don't you wanna
you could be a star
you could go far
you've got twistability
you fly hard, don't you wanna
you've got kissability
you could be a star, it ain't hard

Too low to find my way
Too high to wonder why
I've touched this place before
Somewhere in another time
Now I can hear the sun
The clouds drifting through the blinds
A half a million thoughts
Are flowing through my mind

A satellite recalled your voice
Sent me round the world again
All the night you've dreamt away
Sent me round my heart again
One touch upon my lips
And all my thoughts are clear
I feel your smoky mist
Up to the stratosphere

Too low to find my way
Too high to wonder why
I've touched this place before
Somewhere in another time
Now I can hear the sun
The clouds drifting through the blinds
A half a million thoughts
Are flowing through my mind

Too low to find my way
Too high to wonder why
I've touched this place before
Somewhere in another time
Now I can hear the sun

Defiled, beaten, molested
A deep fear to whisper in your ear
It will follow you in your sleep
You will feel it inside your dreams
Transformed underworld, tranquil without light
Blessed are the sins of the night
A dark red shadow of hate remains
Any arrogance begins to fade
For trauma will always linger
Another weakling has been made

Won't you come out
We could paint the town red
Kill a little time
You can sleep when you're dead
Cause it isn't over yet
Get it out of your head

Chase a couple hearts
We could leave 'em in shreds
Meet me in the gutter
Make the devil your friend
Just remember what I said
Cause it isn't over yet
Just remember what I said
Cause it isn't over yet

Won't you come out
I've been waiting for you
Holding my breath
Til my body turned blue
We've got everything to lose
Yeah I'm waiting on you

Sun's come up
And there's no one else around
Meet me in the shadows
Won't you tell me what you found
You've got everything to lose
Yeah I'm waiting on you

Say you have a little faith in me
Just close your eyes and let me lead
Follow me home

Need to have a little trust in me
Just close your eyes and let me lead
Follow me home
To where the lonely ones roam

To where the lonely ones roam
Roam with me
Come down to where all of the others fell
Get lost in the dark to find yourself

Hey, kool thing, come here, sit down
There's something I go to ask you.
I just wanna know, what are you gonna do for me?
I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
From male white corporate oppression?

The bottom line is money on the Western power scene
Where celebrities and porn can let the population dream
They're pathetic human living in an advertising glut
Who devour with a passion what the mainstream vomits up

I am a mortal but am I human?
How beautiful life is now when my time has come
A human destiny but nothing human inside
What will be left of me when I'm dead?
There was nothing when I lived
What you found was eternal death
No one will ever miss you

You said, I began this messy state of love affairs and I
Drink too much and smoke too fast that this
City's cleared my innocence

Coffee's pouring out my ears it's the
Only thing they have in here and my
Heart stops beating

And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

Number three's still on my plate I
Heard the trains are running late and I
Laugh out loud my life's a mess I have
Gone too far in my lifelessness

Tragic and furious, the clash of the steel of the Gods
So magic, the power, the sword in his valorous hands
Oceans of fire, are blasting the Throne of the Demons
And from distant Red Skies the Thunders are calling his name...

Gestures are regrets
Excarbated by idle time
The energy is lost, the desire to linger
Each phase of illness affects the reason

Unstable moods unspoken
Weakened meaning and frustration
Stifling consciousness
It sickens me

Internal dirt
The bodies are refugees for caresses
Rendered odorless as soon as they sow their seeds
A gap remains permanently numb

Where is my John Wayne
Where is my prairie song
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the cowboys gone

Can't stay at home, can't stay at school.
Old folks say 'You poor little fool'.
Down the streets I'm the girl next door.
I'm the fox you've been waiting for.

Hello, daddy. Hello, mom.
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Hello world! I'm your wild girl.
I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!

Stone age love and strange sounds too.
Come on, baby, let me get to you.
Bad nights causing teenage blues.
Get down ladies, you've got nothin' to lose.

I can hear the birds singing to me, outside.
Talk to cats for a while.
Try so hard to turn a life, inside out.
Everyone knows when to speak.

But I don't see too much these days.
'Cause I don't want to.
"Let me go" she said.
And I'll find it.

Just looking for a story, something "ours"
Something to hold in times of weakness
Just a prayer, a hope
A simple glimpse of a guiding light
Just looking for some truth
To battle all the lies that showed themselves
I'm one of them I have always been
But maybe I'm just looking for anything else

Lost again in the same old lines
I remember how it was once
But memories aren't doing any good

Pray the one my soul to keep
Servants' service
Too scared to sleep because of the creep
Scarred surface
Well in the right now
When I'm next to your head I see white
Heaven's presence

Oh, show me the way to the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why!
For we must find the next whiskey bar
For if we don't find the whiskey bar
I tell you we must die

I tell you

Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why!
For we must find the next little dollar
For if we don't find the next little dollar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you
I tell you
I tell you we must die!
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say good-bye
We've lost our good old momma
And must have dollars, oh you know why!
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say good-bye
We've lost our good old momma
And must have dollars, oh you know why!



"Pretty boy" = a client of a prostitute
"Little girl" (replacement in some cover versions) = British slang for whiskey

Poison yourself
Revel in waste
Poison yourself
In the name of evil
Destroy yourself

I will always be the reason to hate yourself
Mirrors will oppress your mind
And follow all that you hide
Blindly, step inside a subconscious warfare
To guide the oblivious

Mirrors of torture
Unforgivingly expose your sin;
Your suicide by the mirror's shattered blade

I won't heal given time
I won't try to change your mind
I won't feel better in the cold light of day
But I wouldn't stop you if you wanted to stay

My sweetheart is made of clay
She is an international model
She looks pretty as a flower in May
Through the bottom of a bottle

Sometimes I can see her face
Staring off into space
She won't look at me
That's best, don't look at me

My sweetheart is a figurine
She's a dancing diva
I got my eyes closed on a nicotine high
Waiting for a curtain to rise

Sometimes she sings out loud
And I feel like a big crowd
She won't notice me
That's best, don't notice me

Kings of our emptiness, the flagellants align
Their mouths fill with ashes and death's tongue

Roses in the sun
Falling one by one
Every thorn stung
I was so numb
I almost didn't see you come

When the walls around me were caving in
You saved my life tonight
When there's nothing left but pouring rain
You saved my life tonight
And I found my heart inside your hands
You saved my life tonight
You showed me how to feel again
You saved my life tonight

Hearts on the run
Wasted and young
Every mistake stung
'Til I was numb
I almost didn't see you come

When the walls around me were caving in
You saved my life tonight
When there's nothing left but pouring rain
You saved my life tonight
And I found my heart inside your hands
You saved my life tonight
You showed me how to feel again
You saved my life tonight

He stood still and never ran
Looking for himself in that garbage can
Living with opportunities blown
The company he keeps leaves him all alone

No cure and no way to heal
A forgettable past and a bad deal
He gave up on himself, they gave up on him
He's up shit creek and doesn't know how to swim

Quick!
The Magnetic Fields

You better think of something quick before I don't love you no more
Quick! Before I walk out that door
Quick! Before it all ends in jeers
What a waste of all those beers
You better think of something quick because my suitcase is packed
Quick! Because I'm through being attacked
Are you really prepared to lose
All this just to air your views?
We're on the brink of something
Get me a drink of something
Quick! Between your outrageous remarks
Like the mating calls of sarcastic sharks
Quick! Before you can't take that back
Just before it all goes black

You better think of something quick before the midnight bell chimes
You're living in dangerous times
Torture me for your amusement
About who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent

Hello again, friend of a friend, I knew you when
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again
Send you my love on a wire
Lift you up, every time, everyone, ooh, pulls away, ooh
From you

When I close my eyes tonight
Down my dreams the velvet raven flies
So I hold on

Whither goes the way I ride
In the moonlit raven's eye
Staring past the purple sky tonight

I'm holding on and I
Find out the only way goes down
And the weary drowns

Better hold on tight

Where leads this way I go
Velvet one I only know
Every raven craves a crimson stone

I'm holding on and I
Find out the only way goes down,
And the weary drowns

Better hold on tight

Daylight
In bad dreams
In a cruel world
Full of cruel things
Hang tight
All you
Nothing like a big bad
Bridge
to go
Go burning through

The moon tonight feels my revenge
To summon forth my time of sin and hate
Impaled are their wings
Raped is the soul
From the bleeding holy womb
At one with night, for I’m with Death
Eyes now bleed
In the color and sight of terror
The moon tonight screams with revenge
I’ve entered your dreams out of fear

Joy-sterilised by apathy
Monotonous, death-bringing concrete
My heart beats contentiously
Nausea emerges from movement
A soul coloured like ash
A city, a block of wretchedness
Continuous misery
I love you

I packed the bags below my eyelids
Soaked in ultraviolets, smoking Ultra-Violence
No compliance, oh I'm so defiant
(Vampires knock-knock, but I never let them in)
I packed the bags for frozen climates
Full of token triumphs, I show to those who spite it
Spineless, with their multiple disguises
(Vampires talk-talk, but I never question them)
They look so ugly on the inside
Giving me their lip while I'm swimming in the riptide
Ad-vice in my ear and out the other
Hearing what they mutter, peering from the shutters
Werewolves underneath, skin I wear, upper-teeth
Bicuspids coming like stalagmites, so fuck with me
In the company of wolves, you don't trust the ones you know
So I'm low, a hundred feet below

I stand alone, burned every bridge over the troubled water
No longer hiding from my personality disorder
A stronger tide is coming, I've been running
Trying to function fine without my mind climbing out this fucking corner

I was born a thorn away from the rotten petals
A forgotten rebel, craft in the absence of heaven's heavy hands
To develop an evident level of benevolence
So it's probably better I sold my soul to the Devil

This is a message to anyone I met that thinks they know me:
Don't pretend to understand none of the issues that I'm holding
I was in a rush to grow up, look mom no cuts
Just a stomach in disgust and the fear that I might go nuts this year

If I don't slow up I'll see you on my way
One day this shit'll kill me but I guess that it's OK
I've lost all faith in a world so full of hate
And I don't fucking love music, I just use it to escape

I'm caught between wanting to punch someone in the face
And putting a bullet in my head to leave the human race
Everything takes its toll but there's no tolls I can take
I haven't yet found a good reason to be awake

I've given and taken and given
Now in my world of only your vision
Faces of white wrapped in delicate decay
Oh please, why won't you take me away?

Reaching toward a pale illusion
One which will never become real
Just suppose for a moment
It was not just a dream...

I know you don't know me
A nervous, wordless face brings shade to your light
But I want so bad to walk beside you
But fall back into a world where I believe

I embrace the moment, I'm in love with a dream
And toy with ideas that burn deep inside me
Because a picture is all you are to me
A picture is all you'll ever be

Your concern is not to help the people
And I'll say again, though it's been often said
Your concern is just to bring discomfort, my friend
And your policy is just a little red
Now, ain't I right (ain't he right)
(ain't he right)
It matters not to you how people suffer
And should they, you'd consider that a gain
You bring a lot of trouble to the town and then you leave
That's part of your communistic game
I detect a little communisim
I can see it in the things ya do
Communisim, socialism call it what you like
There's very little difference in the two
Now, ain't I right (ain't he right)
(ain't he right)

I like my town with a little drop of poison
Nobody knows, they're lining up to go insane
I'm all alone, I smoke my friends down to the filter
But I feel much cleaner after it rains

I'm... writing you to catch you up on places I've been
and you... held this letter, probably got excited
but there's nothing else inside it

didn't have a camera by my side this time
hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
maybe I'll tell you all about this
when I'm in the mood to lose my way... with words

today... skies are painted colors of a cowboy cliché
and strange... how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
are next to mountains anyway...

You didn't see my valentine
I sent it via pantomime
While you were watchin' someone else
I stared at you and cut myself
It's all I'll do 'cause I'm not free
A fugitive too dull too flee
I'm amorous but out of reach
A still life drawing of a peach

Nothing ever happens
Nothing ever changes
And nothing goes right
Can't stand to be alone on a Saturday night
And you know
It's a cold hard feeling
And you spent all your money
And have nothing to show
And you wish you were home
But the meter keeps running
And you know
Nothing ever happens here

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence

She appears composed, so she is, I suppose
Who can really tell?
She shows no emotion at all
Stares into space like a dead china doll

We lean against railings
Describing the colours
And the smells of our homelands
Acting like lovers

How did we get here?
To this point of living
I held my breath
And you said something

Blacks can't be white and whites can't be black
Why you want to act like someone else?
All you gotta do is just be yourself
We're all the same color underneath
Short Dog's in the house you'd better listen to me
Never be ashamed of what you are
Proud to be black stand tall at heart
Even though some people give you no respect
Be intelligent, when you put em in check
Cause when you're ignorant, you get treated that way
And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say
So if you don't listen it's not my fault
I'll be getting paid while you'll be paying the cost
Sitting in the jailhouse running your mouth
While me and my peoples try to get out

If you look the part you'll get the job
In last year's trousers and your old school shoes
The truth is, son, it's a buyer's market
They can afford to pick and choose

Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because I dress like this
Doesn't mean I'm a communist!

The factories are closing and the army's full
I don't know what I'm going to do
But I've come to see in the Land of the Free
There's only a future for the Chosen Few

Without your love
I'm dazed in madness
Can't lose this sadness
You're tearing me apart

Tape my eyes open to force reality
Why can't you just let me eat my weight in glee?
I live inside my own world of make-believe
Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities
Some days I feel skinnier than all the other days
And some days I can't tell if my body belongs to me
I love everything
Fire spreading all around my room
My world's so bright
It's hard to breathe but that's alright
Hush
sh

With my ego in my gut
My babbling mouth would wash it up
(But now I've started learning how)
I keep it shut
My door was never locked
Until one day a trigger come, cocking
(But now I've started learning how)
I keep it shut
Wide eyes would clean and dust
Things that decay, things that rust
(But now I've started learning how)
I keep 'em shut
I keep 'em shut

I opened my eyes
While you were kissing me once more than once
And you looked as sincere as a dog
Just as sincere as a dog does,
When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love
I bet you could never tell
That I knew you didn't know me that well
It is my fault you see
You never learned that much from me
Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine
You were always good for a rhyme
And from the first, to the last time, the signs
Said 'Stop' - but we went on whole-hearted
It ended bad, but I love what we started
They said 'Stop' - but we went on whole-hearted
It ended bad, but I love what we started

Gain your strength, release, and seize to be
By all means, I'll see you through me
What is fair to loose when they lost
Who are you to choose what souls costs

Walked in the store, what's everybody staring at?
They act like they never seen a motherfucker wearing black
Following a nigga and shit
Ain't this a bitch
All I wanted was some chips
I wanna take my business elsewhere
But where?
'Cause who in the hell cares
About a black man with a black need
They wanna jack me like some kind of crack fiend
I wonder if he knows that my income is more than
His pension, salary and then some
Your daughter is my number one fan
And your trife ass wife wants a life with a black man

Downstairs I feel so different
Though everything's the same
And if I don't see you soon
Then I'm going to kill myself

Perhaps I'll get over you
But I don't think I have the power
'Cause today I felt so good
Because I didn't think of you for almost an hour

Well, I know they're not your problems
But if you could help me solve them
Then I'd be so very grateful
So very grateful

I SEE SOFT CENTERED EGGS
ON UR HOTEL PLATE
I SEE METAMORPHOSIS
I SEE THE STUFF THAT U ATE

Never need a bitch, I'm what a bitch need
Tryna find the one that can fix me
I've been dodgin' death in the six speed
Amphetamine got my stummy feelin' sickly
Yeah, I want it all now
I've been runnin' through the pussy, need a dog pound
Hundred models gettin' faded in the compound
Tryna love me, but they never get a pulse down

Why? 'Cause I'm heartless
And I'm back to my ways 'cause I'm heartless
All this money and this pain got me heartless
Low life for life 'cause I'm heartless
Said I'm heartless
Tryna be a better man, but I'm heartless
Never be a weddin' plan for the heartless
Low life for life 'cause I'm heartless

Said I'm heartless
So much pussy, it be fallin' out the pocket
Metro Boomin turn this ho into a moshpit
Tesla pill got me flyin' like a cockpit
Yeah, I got her watchin'
Call me up, turn that pussy to a faucet
Duffle bags full of drugs and a rocket
Stix drunk, but he never miss a target
Photoshoots, I'm a star now
I'm talkin' Time, Rolling Stone, and Bazaar now
Sellin' dreams to these girls with their guard down
Seven years, I've been swimmin' with the sharks now
