White Blank Page by Mumford and Sons

2010-07-31T11:15:00.000-05:00

Can you lie next to her

And give her your heart, your heart

As well as your body

And can you lie next to her

And confess your love, your love

As well as your folly

And can you kneel before the king

And say I'm clean, I'm clean

But tell me now, where was my fault

In loving you with all my heart

Oh tell me now, where was my fault

In loving you with all my heart

A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage

You did not think when you sent me to the brake, the brake

You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections

But tell me now, where was my fault

In loving you with all my heart

Oh tell me now, where was my fault

In loving you with all my heart

Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life

"Tighten Up" by The Black Keys

The Black Keys

I wanted love, I needed love,
Most of all, most of all
Someone said true love was dead
And I'm bound to fall, bound to fall
For you
But what can I do?

Take my badge but my heart remains
Lovin' you, baby child
Tighten up on your reigns
You're runnin' wild, runnin' wild
It's true

Sick for days in so many ways
I'm achin' now, I'm achin' now
It's times like these I need relief
Please show me how, show me how
To get right

When I was young and moving fast
Nothing slowed me down, slowed me down
Now I let the others pass
I've come around, come around

Living just to keep going
Going just to stay sane
All the while never knowing
It's such a shame

I don't need to get steady
I know just how I feel
I'm telling you to get ready
My dear

"Little Lion Man" by Mumford & Sons

MUMFORD & SONS

weep for yourself, my man,
you'll never be what is in your heart
weep little lion man,
you're not as brave as you were at the start
rate yourself and rape yourself,
take all the courage you have left
wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
i really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?

tremble for yourself, my man,
you know that you have seen this all before
tremble little lion man,
you'll never settle any of your score
your grace is wasted in your face,
your boldness stands alone among the wreck
learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
i really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?

'cause I don't want to have to pick you up of the floor,
when you ask if we can still be lovers,
I'll have to introduce my brothers,
Think that they could teach you a lesson or two,
By the time they've finished you'll be black and blue
You'll be crying like a baby,
A sea of tears they'll call the navy in...

"Drunken Lament" by Ludo

2010-04-09T22:45:00.002-05:00

"Self-loathing is quaint,"
you told me, showing restraint.
Now you're gone and I'm lost,
In the swells I am tossed -
bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog.
You said, "Forever..." Tell me, why can't you stay?

I'd ride in your pocket all day,
but I just don't fit.
Say the word and I'll change.
I'm throwin' a party tonight.
I drink more than a sailor on shore.
Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies.

Oh, oh-oh-oh, Oh, oh-oh-oh
Drunk since Saturday,
without you, without restraint.
It still stings where you stung.
Water swings in my lungs.
I'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away.
Tell me, "Forever..."
Tell me you'll come back to stay.

You were the mermaid for me
'till one day you found your feet
leaving me in this god-awful bottle
a model of heartache and grief.

"Love Me Dead" by Ludo

2010-04-09T22:41:00.000-05:00

Love me cancerously
Like a salt-sore soaked in the sea.
'High-maintenance' means
You're a gluttonous queen
Narcissistic and mean.
Kill me romantically
Fill my soul with vomit
Then ask me for a piece of gum.
Bitter and dumb
You're my sugarplum.
You're awful, I love you!

She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften
Her body is my coffin
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed

Must be the sign on my head
That says, oh...
Love me dead! Love me dead!

You're a faith-healer on T.V.
You're an office park without any trees
Corporate and cold
Gushing for gold
Leave me alone.
You suck so passionately
You're a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature
finger-bangin' my heart
You call me up drunk
Does the fun ever start?
You're hideous and sexy!

Must be the sign on my head
That says, oh...
Love me dead! Love me dead!

Love me cancerously
Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da!
How's your new boy?
Does he know about me?
You've got the mark of the beast.
You're born of a jackal! You're beautiful!

Wha' 'bout that sign on my head
That says, oh...
Love me dead!

The powers were set free

A quest for all time

Each card possesses a power all its own

We've got to find them to bring the power home

When I Look At You by Miley Cyrus

2010-03-31T22:28:00.000-05:00

Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the nights are long

'cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy

Yea when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I
I look at you

When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I
I look at you

When I look at you
I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone

Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I
I look at you

When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I
I look at you

You appear just like a dream to me
Just like kaleidoscope colors that cover me
All I need
Every breath that I breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful
Yeah yeah

When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I
I look at you

I look at you
Yeah
Whoa-oh
You appear just like dream to me

The Season by The Dodos

2010-03-31T16:44:00.002-05:00

Somewhere in between this ocean and mountainside
I have this dream I think of it still sometimes
I know it's just the season
I sense no time or reason
The sky falls down; it's evening
The feeling goes; it's leaving

Miles until this desert brings me back to your face
Those eyes you know you know I think of them still sometimes
But you're away in Eden
And I'm still here the heathen
This times for real, we're even
We do this for the season

I cross the sand
without your hand
I go back to
where you and I began
and I was yours
and you were mine
things seem so soon to say goodbye
I hope you're well as I am fine
I keep to myself where I go where I lie

I woke up in a cave
No air no light no shade
when did things turn this way?
I miss you on certain days

Raw With Love by Charles Bukowski

2010-03-30T20:34:00.002-05:00

little dark girl with
kind eyes
when it comes time to
use the knife
I won't flinch and
i won't blame
you,
as I drive along the shorealone
as the palms wave,
the ugly heavy palms,
as the living does not arrive
as the dead do notleave,
i won'tblame you,
insteaad
i will remeber the kisses
our lips raw with love
and how you gave me
everything you had
and how I
offered you what was left of
me,
and I will remeber your small room
the feel of you
the light in the window
your recordds
your books
our morning coffee
our noons our nights
our bodies spilled together
sleeping
the tiny flowing currents
immediate and forever
your leg my leg
your arm my arm
your smile and the warmth
of you
who made me laugh
again.
little dark girl with kind eys
you have no
knife.the knife is
mine and i won't use it
yet.

One's not enough
I won't stop 'til I've given you up
Here, right as I am, it's hard having fun
It's much easier said than it's done

Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Control me like you used to

No
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
'cause I can't have you anymore
But I though you should know
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Because I can't take it anymore
Oh

The room's still now when I'm lying
'cause the well of the night has gone dry
When they askto behave, I pay them no mind
Now I doubt if I'd have been so kind

Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Control me like you used to

No
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
'cause I can't have you anymore
But I though you should know
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Because I can't take it anymore
More

Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Control me like you used to
Hold me like before
Hold me like you used to
Control me like you used to

No
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
'cause I can't have you anymore
But I though you should know
You don't move me anymore
And I'm glad that you don't
Because I can't take it anymore

But I found you should know

It feels like being tranquilized
I know the separation kills us so
But I won't stop falling like raindrops
Because I like it when you lose control

Savior by Rise Against

2010-03-11T04:43:00.001-06:00

It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten
There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
Because I don't know
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

But the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand
Now do you understand?

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
Because I don't know
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

1000 miles away
There's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
We never had a choice
This world is too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again
I don't hate you
I don't hate you

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
Because I don't know
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no

Shame for You by Lily Allen

2010-03-09T15:54:00.002-06:00

I've been thinking that you've crossed the line,
if you disappeared that would be just fine,
'cause you waste my time and waste my money
and you're not too cool and not too funny!
Spreading your seed all over the town
getting too greedy and messing around:
Oh my gosh you must be joking me
if you think that you'll be poking me.

Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me on
Shattered the lie but you think I don't already know,
Don't try to deny 'cause my fuse is ready to blow
Its your turn to learn I think that you know where to go
It's a shame, shame, shame for you

Please don't come around and knock on my door
'cause I don't want to have to pick you up of the floor,
when you ask if we can still be lovers,
I'll have to introduce my brothers,
Think that they could teach you a lesson or two,
By the time they've finished you'll be black and blue
You'll be crying like a baby,
A sea of tears they'll call the navy in.

Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me on
Shattered the lie but you think I don't already know,
Don't try to deny 'cause my fuse is ready to blow
It's your turn to learn I think that you know where to go
It's a shame shame shame for you

Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me on
Shattered the lie but you think I don't already know,
Don't try to deny 'cause my fuse is ready to blow
It's your turn to learn but I think that you know where to go
It's a shame shame shame for you

Peace In A Time Of War

2010-02-22T18:42:00.001-06:00

They say that Bush could be my president, but really InI
don't care. They say Cheney makes my decisions,
but he don't, so I'm just not there. and
I'm gonna see the same lies coming in the next 4
years, so pardon me if I don't cry when your
election goes the way it did. Chorus I need some
peace in a time of war, some peace in a time of political
war. v.2 They say that we elect our leaders to
lead forward and make decision. but i never heard their
policy on war discussed during an election. and it
seem that war is something over which people have no
prevention. but the people want it anyway and so they
elect some destruction. Chorus v.3 land of
the free, and foreign bullets never touch our pavement.
it seem to me, people know not the extent of their
involvement. things are not as they seem, underneath
the beast is not clean. but we support the leaders who use
media to make them seem so clean

Now look straight ahead in the distance
Yes there's a nightcrawler walking with her fist clenched, but raise up
And feed her some happiness
Before you know it she'll be smiling with some love and yes, alright
Now let me tell you what we're trying to suggest:
Once again, Rebelution on a loving quest
Tell her to look at the ocean when the sun sets, or like
Putting out your hand for the unfortunate, alright
Pick up the slack from the wickedness, straight up
Clean up our manners and our etiquette, alright now

Look straight ahead in the distance, oh yea there's a nightcrawler
Yea you'd better move quick, don't you know she's a night stalker

"Creator" by Santigold

2010-01-24T17:01:00.009-06:00

Got no need for the fancy things
All the attention that it brings
Tell me no, I say yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion

Can't say it's gonna get me far
Do no good to say what you are
I run the streets and I break up houses
River runs deep and the flame devours it

Me, I'm a Creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a Taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards

Sit tight I know what you are
mad bright but you aint no star
polish up til you make it gleam
your M.O, I know what you mean
Tail ridin' and I know it's true
while they screamin' I love you
Down deep you know there aint no flow
a soul decay, was D.O.A

I know what you here for now
Words out you're an idea whore though,
now don't you crush on me
I'll see you in your pipe dreams
whether or not you know it's true
You're who they dictate to
That shit must hurt real bad
fakin' what you wish you had

Here all the folks come ask about me
Band wagon, know they used to doubt me
Blind side tend to hit real hard
you should heed the warning, get a body guard
Steady friction in this bitch
Creepin' in just like an itch
so far I got the last laugh
still the rich rise up, still I live fast
wouldn't know it face to face
Got no soul and got no taste
Moving in speed up the pace
I got it locked though, what a waste
All the talk is standard fare
Walk the walk if it gets you there
on the grind til the gig is up
Im 'a smash 'em down
put a muzzle on them like "what!"

"Courage to Grow" by Rebelution

2010-01-22T22:23:00.002-06:00

This is a song for those
who lost their hope
a long a long time ago
I know someday that you will find it somehow
Because you're not too old
to accomplish goals
and all the answers are within your soul
its up to you, you gotta figure it out
Uh huh

Whether you want love or money
Good fortune or fame
You want a brand new card
You want the world to change
You better take some action right now, oh yes
Because there's nothing in the world that you can't get
So don't fill your life with confusion and regret
You better take some chances right now

Well you can gain the world
but for the price of your soul
yes I know, well I know, yes I know
you can gain the world for the price of your soul
but I hope you take the road less traveled
and I hope you find the courage to grow
well I hope you find the courage to grow

"This Is How It Feels" - The Veronicas

2010-01-11T00:25:00.005-06:00

Wasn't it me you didn't want?
Wasn't it me who was hanging on?
Now I'm done but before I go I want you to know ...

This is how it feels
When you wait for a call that never comes
Are you waking up 'cause you miss someone?
This is how it feels
When the trust you had is broken,
And your left to burn with your heart wide open

Purging

2009-12-27T22:33:00.003-06:00

Humans are parasites. We've destroyed the balance of life on our planet and will continue to harvest that which isn't ours until the human race is the only thing left standing. It sickens me to be one of these creatures that is the embodiment of evil. My single spark is nothing in the lifestream of our world. Who am I to try to change that which will not change. People are living the longest lives we have ever lived, and for what? So we can suck this planet dry for only a few years longer? Medicine protects us from plagues that the earth creates with the soul purpose of cleansing itself. We are the plague. It takes certain things in life to startle me into remembering and to humble me so I can see what we are doing from an outside perspective. Instead of inhabiting this planet and living with it, we are instead, living against it. And when the time comes, it will be the planet that destroys us, or we who destroy the planet.

Metalocalypse at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium

On the evening of October 16th, 2009, I entered the Roy Wilkins Auditorium and was immediately lost in a sea of black metal shirts. A popular adult cartoon titled Metalocalypse, based around the fictional progressive metal band, Dethklok, was touring the country with fellow “prog metal” band, Mastodon. Along with the two lesser bands that opened the show the duo made for a performance of epic proportions.

Although metal has been viewed negatively by many sophisticated critics its subgenre, progressive metal, utilizes an enormous amount of musical theory. Intertwined with a powerful dose of complex compositional structures, abnormal time signatures and intricate instrument playing, progressive metal and bands like Mastodon are definitely worthy of more respect from today’s musical critics.

Mastodon took stage and provided the audience with nothing but an amazing performance. While playing the majority of their newly released concept album, Crack the Skye, the audience was captivated by a full screen visual representation of the selections being performed. The visual and audio combination stimulated the audience and a common attitude of musical appreciation could be felt throughout the venue.

One selection entitled, “The Czar” could be considered as a loose modern day representation of the classical symphony. The collection is organized into four distinct parts titled, “Usurper”, ”Escape”, “Martyr”, and “Spiral.” Beginning with a dream like introduction, the audience was mesmerized as the exposition described two themes to be reintroduced later in the piece. “Usurper” quickly developed into “Escape,” which altered the theme of the song while still being able to keep the audience enthralled. “Martyr” could be considered the equivalent to a Symphony’s third movement, the minuet. Although it is not focused around the traditional ¾ time signature, it does represent the minuet’s delicate and dance-like characteristics. Last, “Spiral” reviews the original themes introduced in “Usurper” and elegantly brings the piece to an end.

Mastodon is known for their ability to intertwine jazz-fusion and classical themes into their music. Their performance at Metalocalypse could be considered one of the best live performances I have been blessed to witness. Due to their ground breaking methods, many believe that Mastodon will leave a large imprint in musical history for generations to come.

Louder than Thunder by The Devil Wears Prada

What would it take for things to be quiet?
Quiet, like the snow.
And I know this isn't much but,
I know I could I could be better.

I don't think I deserve it;
Selflessness.
Find your way into my heart.
All stars could be brighter.
All hearts could be warmer.

What would it take for things to be quiet?
Quiet, like the snow.
Are we meant to be empty handed?
I know I could I could be better.

I don't think I deserve it;
Selflessness.
Find your way into my arms.
All stars could be brighter.
All hearts could be warmer.

What would it take for things to be quiet?

The Inner Workings of the 12-year-old Girl's Mind

2009-11-21T12:28:00.001-06:00

Written by Meaghan O, from www.meaghano.com

I spent 1994 to 1997 harboring the same unrequited crush on a boy who, when he heard, told our entire 4th grade class as we lined up to go back inside after recess, that this couldn’t possibly be true, because “if Meaghan O. liked me, I would be in the bathroom barfing right now.”

“It’s not true!” I yelled out, and wanted to die. I mean, truly wanted to die in a way you don’t really want to die anymore when you grow up. Don’t get me wrong, I want to die all the time still but not in that way. Not in that I am nothing way.

So I was ass over elbows for this kid for pretty much the rest of my adolescence, and eventually we became friends because I sort of leveled up in popularity self-esteem after quitting Girl Scouts and refusing to wear glasses and reading all of my mom’s Anatomy books so that I told everyone I knew everything I knew about fuckin and then got kicked out of the gifted program because I had a mouth like a sailor and was generally too much of a badass. Anyway we became friends and I would write poems about him and he would find out and I would do presentations in class about Madonna songs I considered to be about him and he would sit through them, and I would give him nicknames and send him long notes about how he PLAYED with my HEART and then we would hold hands during Anne Frank and he would tell me I looked really pretty in my new smiley face hair clip but that Michael Fowler was telling all the boys in PE class that I didn’t wear gym shorts under my pleated skirt.

Eventually things escalated and we talked on the phone every night from 4:10 (when he got off the bus and I finished my math homework) until 8pm (when my mom kicked me off the phone because…I…had… been on it for four hours) and when I was grounded he would pretend to have a homework question and we would do our homework out loud and then he would tell me he just did that so he could hear my voice I would hang up and run and sing and skip around the house and my mom would say, Baby, I hate to tell you this, but that ain’t ever gonna happen.

And I probably yelled at her then went and wrote in my diary and made plans to go to the skating rink over Thanksgiving.

We went and we held hands during couples skate to LeeAnn Rimes’ “How Do I Live (without you! srsly!)” but we- well, somehow, at 12, we managed to be in the sort of relationship gray area mostly tailored to people our age now! But much like now I was in no hurry to define things! I didn’t care about lousy titles! I just wanted to hold hands during the sad songs so I knew what it felt like and could yell at my mom that I knew what love was more than she ever would! It was fall of ‘97 and I was literally living out a dream— a dream I had written about for years and years in my stupid diaries and in Petrarchan sonnets rife with simile and forced rhyme, in notes to my stupid friends who would always show them to him on the bus ride home, in elaborate math equations, theonly time i enjoy it, attempting to predict the likelihood of our together forever-ness based on vowels and consonants and dammit our names had so many wonderful E’s! — but he told my friend he wasn’t sure. He was 12 and he liked to hold my hand but he had read my sonnets and he wasn’t sure. He had heard my ideas of “Take a Bow” and all it meant and he wasn’t sure. He could never really know, you see, if he really liked me or if he just liked me because I loved him.

He said we couldn’t be together because he could never love me as much as I loved him.

No seriously, he did. This was like 1997 and he was emotionally unavailable.

Anyway Christmas break came around and I went to Tallahassee to look for our new house and by the time I got back he was GOING OUT with a girl who was in HIGH SCHOOL and the rumor was that he did things to her that Romeo did to Juliet in the Baz Luhrman movie (sorry, couldn’t make that up).

Obviously I cried a lot but it fit perfectly with my overtly tragic (Lurlene McDaniel-influenced) sense of how things would pan out for me in the long run. I wrote him notes that would put a grown man TO SHAME. 10, 20 page notes with the rhetorical skill of Friends, Romans, Countryman but more along the lines of, and I quote, “thank you for teaching me what suck feels like”.

Eventually my rage subsided into deciding to pretend the girl friend didn’t exist and letting him call me every night again and letting him sneak up behind me in the lunchline every day and put his cold chocolate milk up to my cheek to scare me which only worked the first few times but months and months later was something I got excited about in the shower before school. Soon enough we were passing notes again and I taught him how to write block letters and he taught me about the NBA and we’d do all our assignments together and his hand would always be on my thigh before we knew why we liked it and soon we were getting in trouble for ‘giving each other googly eyes’ in class and people called me a whore for flirting with him and people gave him shit for leading me on but i didn’t CARE because here was my dream so we passed note after note after note and I still have most of them and most of them end the same way.

Every time he wrote me a note he would write 8 little ‘lines’ before he signed his name.

He wouldn’t tell me what they meant and I was never really sure but he wrote them every time. He would come over and write them on my math homework, on the margins of my social studies notes, on the cover of my religion book, in white out on his backpack. I went utterly batshit but he never gave in, just smiled and shrugged and made my heart pine for him to such an extreme it’s a wonder I didn’t pass out half the time.

Soon the lines became some other language between us, carving out a little 12 year old Us-Them before we knew that’s what people did; we wrote our names in block letters and we had nicknames for everything and we’d write Mariah Carey song lyrics in tiny writing at the bottom of our letters and I think that was one of the last times I participated in something, in intimacy, before I could name it.

And then one day he told me he broke up with his girl friend.

And then a few days later he told me there were 8 lines because there were 8 letters in I love you.

And then we totally made out.

in the song of her voice, holy and queenly.

Who now shall refill the cup for me?

For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the Stars, from Mount Everwhite
has uplifted her hands like clouds,
and all paths are drowned deep in shadow;
and out of a grey country darkness lies
on the foaming waves between us, and mist
covers the jewels of Calacirya forever.
Now lost, lost to those from the East is Valimar!

Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Valimar.
Maybe even thou shalt find it. Farewell!

A Day To Remember - "Heartless" lyrics

For once my eyes are open to you, and everything you’ve said.
For once your web of lies is in the open.
I gave you everything I had, until I had nothing left.
And Still you act as if I’m just a burden.
I’ve finally let go.
Let go
Let go

Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
Cause I’m so done playing these games with my heart
I’ve been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.

I’ve been swallowed by this wreck that you call your life.
I’m damaged from the inside. I’ve been broken.
Don’t threaten me with what you think I feel.
If you could read my mind you’d be in tears.

I’m sick of your excuses you hold above me.
I’ve finally come to terms with what I am.
I’m nothing in your eyes, this will not change.
I’m living in a dream.

Stay silent at least for now, and let me move on.
Cause I’m so done playing these games with my heart
I’ve been around the world and back for you, and now its time to choose.

And I’ll close my eyes, and I’ll dream of a better time
when I’ll finally be past this and I'll be happy on my own.
I’ve done all I can, still the one to been cast aside.
All I ever wanted to be was be the one who’d wipe those tears from your eyes.
But I guess I’ll play second best, to a world that will never care about you.
You’ll never understand you’re just another pretty face
You tell me that you care, and then you run straight back to him.
I can hear your voice of treason from a mile away.

You never did know how to whisper.(whisper, whisPER!)
You're such a liar. Tell me the truth.
You're such a liar. Tell me the truth.
You fuckin' liar. Tell me the truth.
Do the world a favor stop cutting your arms, and slit your throat.

"Midnight Regulations" by Alexisonfire

2009-10-28T13:01:00.001-05:00

I find myself concerned
For the common man, these days
Evil are the minds
That push the divide
Forced to live a life
In fear that his future is on the wane
Midnight regulations
Midnight regulations
Burns his candle down
Working to make ends meet
Old hearts, we need to mend
It's time to start again
Fingers to the bone
Ready to admit defeat
Midnight regulations
Midnight

Brother! There is no charity
For the common man
When he is in need of relief

And now he's hanging on
To his final stitch of faith
So, here's to all the years
Of deaf ear fallen prayers
Rich men behind closed doors
Try to keep him in his place
Midnight regulations
Midnight regulations
Oh, all you common men
You need to fight for a new way
But what can be done
About the way things have become?
Palace walls dismantled
Brick by brick, you will have your day
Midnight regulations
Midnight

Brother! There is no charity
For the common man
When he is in need of relief

They say just hold onto your hope
But you know if you swallow your pride
You will choke

Brother! There is no charity
For the common man
When he is in need of relief

Midnight regulations

"Side Walk When She Walks" by Alexisonfire
Dressed to kill, you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just my size

Now I'm afraid of open water
But I often bathe in sin
Let's be honest, you know you shouldn't bother
'Cuz with me, it's impossible to win

Dressed to kill, you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just...

There was always
Warmth between us
There was always
Warmth between us

Dressed to kill, you look so right
I am drunk with lust tonight
Your wounds are opening wide
And they might be just my size
Just my size, just my size
Just my size, just my size

"Constant Knot" by City & Colour
How much would you bet
that if I tried hard enough
I would spontaneously combust
I wish I could disappear
and run away from all of my fear
I think I'm coming undone

So stay the night, I promise
that I wont bite, cause without you there
I don't think I could close my eyes

How do I end up this way
a constant knot in my gut
tied with uncertainty and with lust
a classic case I suppose
a haunted man
who cant outrun his ghosts
there in my skin and my bones

So stay the night, I promise
that I wont bite, cause without you there
I don't think I could close my eyes

and now I say..

"Death Of Me" by City & Colour
Do I have nothing good left to say?
Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints?
People love to drink their troubles away.
Sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way.

'Cause maybe then I could sleep at night.
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light.
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.
I know, I know.

So here's to living life miserable.
And here's to all the lonely stories that I've told.
Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow.
Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle.

Maybe then I could sleep at night.
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light.
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.

Finally, I could hope for a better day.
No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind.
Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn't seem so heavy.
But then again I'll probably always feel this way.

At least I know I'll never sleep at night. (Sleep at night)
I'll always lie awake until the morning light. (Til the morning light)
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me.
My nerves will be the death of me.

My nerves will be the death of me, I know.

"In Your Words" by Lamb of God

2009-10-13T14:45:00.000-05:00

A sacred cash cow with sickly tits
Dripping temptation for hypocrites
To death she's beaten
The prosperous endlessly stating the obvious

Caught in your words sever the knot this time
Somebody show me their true face
Face me once as I leave all that I despise
Face me as I unleash this hate refined

Indict the blameless
Transparent designs
Pathetic and shameless
Crucified
A legend in his own mind, enthroned by lies
A cheap Machiavelli plots his demise

Caught in your words sever the knot this time
Somebody show me their true face
Face me once as I leave all that I despise
Face me as I unleash this hate refined
Face me as I leave all this far behind
Face me as I unleash this hate refined

What once gave life
Now infested with plague
A lamb lies with maggots
Blinded, gagged, betrayed

What once gave life
Now infested with plague
A lamb lies with maggots
The corpse bloated with rage

And I love them stylish clothes you wear
You've got some lights you're down to share
It seems as if you want to care
Good luck; the game you play ain't fair
Still stuck on why you standin' there
We'll keep your name inside the prayer
Tear down that self-made cross you bear

Single Ladies Lyric Blog

2009-05-23T02:33:00.002-05:00

I recently went to my ex boyfriends apartment to celebrate my friend's (one of his roommates) birthday. While there, Alex got trashed and confessed that he still loved me, and missed me, and couldn't stop thinking about me. At the time, i admitted I loved him too, which is true, but it always will be, so that's unavoidable... but now that I've had time to reflect on the situation I currently feel like this:

All the single ladies (7x)

Now put your hands up
Up in the club, we just broke up
I’m doing my own little thing
you Decided to dip but now you wanna trip
Cuz another brother noticed me
I’m up on him, he up on me
dont pay him any attention
cuz i cried my tears, for three good years
Ya can’t be mad at me

[Chorus]
Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

wo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh x2

(Chorus)Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
hold me tighter than my Dereon jeans
acting up, drink in my cup
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Dont pay him any attention
Cuz you had your turn
But now you gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss me

(Chorus)

Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

woo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh 2x

Don’t treat me to the things of this world
I’m not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve
Is a man that makes me, then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms
Say I’m the one you own
If you don’t, you’ll be alone
And like a ghost I’ll be gone

All the single ladies (7x)
Now put your hands up
woo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh
oh oh oh 2x

Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it woo oh ooh 2x

You're not sure that you love me
But you're not sure enough to let me go
Baby it ain't fair, you know
To just keep me hanging 'round

You say you don't want to hurt me
Don't want to see my tears
So why are you still standing here
Just watching me drown?

And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go
- Leave the Pieces : The Wreckers

I wanna lay in your bed
Stare in your eyes
Feel your heart beating with mine
One last time, one last time

There won't be any tears
That's not why I'm here
Baby turn out the lights and let's disappear
One last time, one last time

'Cause I'm not here to fight
About who's wrong or right
I just want your kiss
I wanna feel just like this
One last time, one last time

Your breath on my neck
I don't wanna forget the smell of your skin
Touch me again
One last time

'Cause I'm not here to fight
About who's wrong or right
I just want your kiss
I wanna feel just like this
One last time, one last time

And when you fall asleep
I'll kiss your cheek
Whisper goodbye and I'll just leave
One last time

Close your eyes and make believe
This is where you want to be
Forgetting all the memories,
Try to forget love cause love's forgotten me
Well hey, hey baby, it's never too late pretty soon you won't remember a thing
And I'll be distant, the stars reminiscing
Your heart's been wasted on me

oh......oh...oh
You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue, you should've seen right through
I'm using you, my little decoy
My little decoy

Living life inside a dream
Time is changing everything
Forgetting all the memories
And I'm forced into you just cause you're into me
Well hey, hey baby, it's never too late
Petty soon you won't remember a thing
But I can't stay and you know I won't wait
I was gone from the very first day

You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue, you should've seen right through
I'm using you, my little decoy

Oh, oh.
I'm not sorry at all
(not sorry at all, not sorry. no.)
I won't be sorry at all
(not sorry at all, not sorry. no.)
I'd do it over again

Don't look so blue, my little decoy
You should've seen right through, my little decoy
You've never been so used, my little decoy
And so I'm using you, my little decoy

You be my princess
And I'll be your toad
I'll follow behind you
On rainbow road
Protect you from red shells
Wherever we go
I promise.

No one will touch us
If we pick up a star
And if you spin out
You can ride in my car
When we slide together
We generate sparks
In our wheels and our hearts

And the finish line
Is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
So our love will never end
Let's go again

The blue shell is coming
So I'll go ahead
If you hang behind
It'll hit me instead
But never look back
Cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you

Don't worry about
Bowser or DK
Just eat this glowing mushroom
And they'll all fade away

And the finish line
Is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
So our love will never end
Oh
The finish line
Is just around the bend
I'll pause this game
So our love will never end
Let's go again

To the mushroom cup
And the flower cup
And the star cup
And the reverse cup

A boy with a coin he found in the weeds
With bullets and pages of trade magazines
Close to a car that flipped on the turn
When God left the ground to circle the world

A girl with a bird she found in the snow
Then flew up her gown and that’s how she knows
If God made her eyes for crying at birth
Then left the ground to circle the earth

A boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
Then making a wish he tossed in the sea
Walked to a town that all of us burn
When God left the ground to circle the world

Lay where you're laying, don't make a sound
I know they're watching, they're watching
All the commotion, the killing of pain
Has people talking, talking

You, your sex is on fire

The dark of the alley, the breaking of day
The head while I'm driving, I'm driving
Soft lips are open, knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying, you're dying

You, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

Hot as a fever, rattling bones
I could just taste it, taste it
If it's not forever, if it's just tonight
Oh, it's still the greatest, the greatest, the greatest

You, your sex is on fire
And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

There are no fingerprints
Deep under water
Nothing to tie one to a crime
And if you seek vengeance
All you need are instruments of pain

You need your

Knives? Check.
Rope? Check.
Dagger? Check.
Chains? Check.
Locks? Check.
Laser Beams? Check.
Acid? Check.
Body Bag? Check.

Seems somebody put out the moon
Now the road is a minefield
I can't follow the way she moves
I can't see past the shadows
You make the darkness disappear
I feel found when you stay near
I know where I am when you are here
My way becomes so clear

When you are gone
Will I lose control?
You are the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?

You know I rep' this shit,

I post my Lyric Blog on Facebook and have been remembering to post there... but my blog has slipped my mind.
CATCH UP TIME!!!

Thursday April 2, 2009

Sometimes the night seems so long,
when you're lyin' there all alone.
And tomorrow seems so far away.
I don't wanna live another day this way.
Scared to let someone in,
can't bear to get hurt again,
but my body needs to feel a touch.
Someone come and wake me up.

And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you

Love of mine,
Won't you lay by my side
And rest your weary eyes
Before we're out of time.
Give me one last kiss,
For soon, such distance
Will stretch between our lips
Now the day's losing light.
Oh.
Bring me your love, tonight.

I remember the way you made love to me
Like I was all you'd ever need
Did you change your mind
Well I didn't change mine
Now here I am trying to make sense of it all
We were best friends now we don't even talk
You broke my heart
Ripped my world apart

Didn't you know how much I loved you
Didn't you know how much I loved you, baby
I gave you everything, every part of me
Didn't you feel it when I touched you
Didn't I rock you when I loved you, baby
Baby, tell me
Didn't you know how much I loved you

the potential of you and me.
It's like a book elegantly bound but,
in a language that you can't read.
Just yet.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.

NEW MASTODON ALBUM! Out 3.24.09! entitled "Crack the Skye"

It’s gone away, It’s gone away
It’s gone for good
And the spirit’s shouting Camellia
A primitive child of brilliant light
Her magnet of wisdom is pulling
Pulling Faster, the fabric of time
No escape, binding spirits
No escape, trapped in time and space
A rapid descent as the wormhole is entered
The sin of calypsis surrounds me
The fire’s dancing in the silvery sea of breath
Black rune that directs mesummon the soul of the specter
No escape, binding spirits
No escape, trapped in time and space
Fire in the eye
Reminiscing majesty
No escape, binding spirits
No escape, trapped in time and space
Fire in the eye
Reminiscing majesty

This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
Cause you're not where you belong;
Inside my arms.

This is my winter song to you.

It rolls in from the sea.

My love a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
To carry you to me.

I grab her hips and pull her in closer.
I close my eyes and it turns her on.
We press our skin and, though it resists, oh I slip inside.
I feel her breath, it slides down my neck
Yeah, yeah, we sweat to the rhythm that we make.
Make love. Hate yourself. But, baby, I'm all yours, yeah.

LYRIC BLOG

2009-03-24T15:15:00.001-05:00

I Love Lyrics.

Lyrics have a poetic way of summarizing something into a few beautiful words or phrases. Combined with my love for music and the marriage of the two, things seem more beautiful. The music becomes more than just music, but poetry. And I often find myself remembering certain poems and applying my day or experiences or problems. It makes me feel connected to something and it helps me make sense of things.

SO!
I have decided to make a lyric blog. When I find a couple lyrics I particularly enjoy (wither beautiful, funny, depressing, brutal, whatever) I will create a new entry and share it. Then I will be able to archive my favorite and allow them to be used by you as well.

**Pay particular attention to the phrases or possibly entire songs that I choose to share. I might be comparing them to certain experiences shared with some of yoooou!
Scandalous!

Oh yay. Apparently Kristina from the Five Awesome Girls likes Chuck Palahniuk!! Thats cool.

I've been jotting things down on random pieces of paper lately so I can remeber things. Some are songs I want to remember to download when I go back home (because I'm scared I'll get in trouble if I use limewire while on the schools web connection.) Also, I've been writing down random things I want to ask my parents for christmas. I was thinking about asking for a lifetime supply of paper towels or kleenix or toilet paper because my reasoning is that if I never have to buy one of these things ever in my entire life, and they are all fairly common things to be bought in a housefold, I could save alot of money. Not sure how much I would save, but it would be a fun experament.

But my point is that I am losing track of all my notes, so I am going to collect them and put them here.

Music to download:

Lionel Richie "I Call It Love"

"I Hate That I Love You"

That one country song by some chick named Ashton

Flo Rida "In the Ayer"

Lights "Drive my Soul"

The Cab "This City is Contagous"

Alissa Moreno "Why Not Now"

A Fine Frenzy "Borrowed Time"

Carrie Underwood's Carival Ride album

Tegan and Sara "Call It Off"

Jessie Malakouti "Trash Me"

Augustana "Hey Now"

Lady Gaga "The Fame"

Uh Huh Her "Common Reaction"

Christmas List:

Ever After DVD

Tattoo

Snowboard and Boots

New winter jacket

Leprechaun Days!

2008-07-24T16:34:00.010-05:00

Yay!

Each year my hometown, Rosemount Minnesota, had a kinda of Summer Fair thing. I always love going because I get to see friends that I haven't seen since school ended in June! Tonight is the Battle of the Bands, and even though I think all the bands suck... I enjoy going anyway. I wish I hadn't lost my camera in Washington because it would be nice to take pictures of all my long lost school mates.

And what makes this year's Lep Days so much more important is that it is Rosemount's like bisecuentenial??... It celebrates Rosemount's 150 years in existence! Also, since my class just graduated, this is pretty much the last time we will see each other until next summer (if they decide to come back for the Summer - even though many are actually staying in Rosemount and going to the community college)

I love Lep Days!

Harry Twatter

2008-07-21T22:05:00.000-05:00

I have returned for the West coast... and have returned to my obsession with Oblivion.

Guess what! I decided to read the Harry Potter series... starting where I left off in like 5th grade... So I think that would be like, the 3rd book.

My Birthday!

2008-07-19T22:33:00.002-05:00

My birthday was on July 17! I am now 18 years old!!

I've been pretty busy lately... I worked all day the 16th, and my birthday was so much fun! Except for the fact that my Dad woke me up at 9am because I hadn't mowed the lawn. I was able to fall back asleep untill about 10, but I was still tired all day... stupid Dad...

I went to the DMV and got my license renewed and went to hang out with my pal Ashley. We decided to do as many things that you can only so when you are 18 or older... all we did was buy cigars. Then we went to the casino with my neighbor Kristine and her friend Jess. I forgot how materialistic they were because all they did was talk about the new Burburrry Jess bought. I wanted to shoot myself in the head. But it was still enjoyable. I lost 20 bucks and Ashley gained 20. That bitch.

After that, we pretty much just chilled. Untill around 10 when I went to hang out with Alex, my boyfriend. We hungout there for a bit then departed for the midnight showing of THE DARK KNIGHT!!! That movie was phanominal!!

Now I am in Battle Ground, Washington for a family reunion with all of my mother's cousins.
The town is tiny, but there are alot of cool relatives that I didn't know I had.
It's dinner time now... hopefully, I'll write later.

Spiders

2008-07-11T02:09:00.003-05:00

I took a bath today, and when I got out of the tub, I saw a disgusting bug crawling along the rim of my sink. It was long and brown, with long antenie and a large pincher at the tip of it's abdomen. I immediately caught it in an upside-down glass and suffocated it with cotton balls soaked in nail polish remover.

Then I went to the computer to investigate. I learned the creature was an earwig. They like dark moist places (especially sinks). It grossed me out, and I investigated further to find a repellent in order to prevent the appearance of more. During this, my interest turned towards my mortal enemy, spiders. I looked up repellants, and researched common Minnesota house spiders... this creeped me out even more and made me quite jumpy and apprehensive about cleaning my room, in fear that I might discover a spider haven in a pile of dirty laundry.

And just my luck, as I lifted a pillow off my bed to remove the sheets, a medium black spiders scurried out from under it. Due to my prior jitters from my research, I screamed and ran into the hall. I realized I wouldn't be able to sleep unless I knew that my bed was spider free, so I decided to face my fears and kill that disgusting thing. So, I got the vacuum.

The spider is no more, but I still feel like I have things crawling on me when I'm in my room. I know it's an irrational fear, but it's a phobia non-the-less. So I went to Wallgreens and bought Raid: Home and Garden... it has a spider on the label. Tomorrow, once I clean my room and remove the cat, I will fumigate the shit out my room and leave it to kill the pests while I'm at work. Hopefully tomorrow, I won't be afraid to put on clothes that have been idle in my closet for a few days.

We shall see...

p.s. 6 days until my 18th Birthday!
