So if you see a man in red white and blue
gettin janked by the Lench Mob crew
It's a man who deserves to buckle
I wanna kill Sam cause he ain't my Uncle!

Ice Cube, off "I Wanna Kill Sam"

[ocean floor]

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

~Matchbox 20, Unwell

 

[NINGirl]

Johnny take a walk
With your sister the moon
Let her pale light in
To fill up your room
You've been living underground
Eating from a can
You've been running away
From what you don't understand...
Love

She's slippy
You’re sliding down
She'll be there
When you hit the ground

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Oh Love

- U2 "Mysterious Ways" (but I'm listening to the KMFDM cover)

Didn't know I was unamerican
For choosing to give a damn
Or unpatriotic
For daring to take a stand
For what I believe in
Looks like freedom to me -
Expressions of liberty
Wanting our America to be
A responsible hegemony

Didn't know I was a communist
For wanting to share the wealth
It doesn't take an economist
To measure the cost of health
And what I believe in
Looks like heaven to me -
One human family
Where everybody's got enough to eat
And something warm to cover their feet


Didn't know I'd be labeled a terrorist
For daring to speak my mind
It's becoming more precarious
For failing to toe the line
And what I believe in
Sounds like freedom to me -
Like the Sons of Liberty
In 1773
Dumping 45 tonnes of tea


Didn't know I was in the minority
Of people who love the Earth
I hope it becomes a priority
Before it gets any worse
And what I believe In
Looks like heaven to me -
Where angels take the shape of the trees
Giving us clean air to breathe
From the rivers to the mountains and seas...

DIdn't know I hated my country
For acknowledging the Truth
This war is despicable profiteering
At the expense of our youth
And what I believe In
Looks like heaven to me -
All of humanity
Living as community
In relative harmony

I know it's just a song
But if the whole world sang along
How much longer would it be this way?

 

[Aria_Joy87]

I walk a lonely road / the only one that I have ever known /...I walk this empty street / on the boulevard of broken dreams / while the city sleeps / and i'm the only one / i walk alone /...my shadow's the only one that walks beside me / my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating / sometimes i wish that one of them will find me / til then i walk alone...

 

[antiarte]

It's been twenty-two long hard years of still strugglin
Survival got me buggin, but I'm alive on arrival
I peep at the shape of the streets
And stay awake to the ways of the world cause **** is deep
A man with a dream with plans to make C.R.E.A.M.
Which failed; I went to jail at the age of 15
A young buck sellin drugs and such who never had much
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not touch
The court played me short, now I face incarceration
Pacin -- going up state's my destination
Handcuffed in back of a bus, forty of us
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so ruff
But as the world turns I learned life is hell
Living in the world no different from a cell
Everyday I escape from Jakes givin chase, sellin base
Smokin bones in the staircase
Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed
But I'm still depressed, and I ask what's it worth?
Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth
Who explained working hard may help you maintain
to learn to overcome the heartaches and pain
We got stickup kids, corrupt cops, and crack rocks
and stray shots, all on the block that stays hot
Leave it up to me while I be living proof
To kick the truth to the young black youth
But shorty's running wild smokin sess drinkin beer
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kickin in his ear
Neglected, but now, but yo, it gots to be accepted
That what? That life is hectic

Inspektah Deck, from "C.R.E.A.M."

 

[ocean floor]

If there's one thing I hope I showed you
If there's one thing I hope I showed you
Hope I showed you
Just give love to all

 

[rumbagirl]

I don't need to be anything but a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything but a specialist's son
I don't need to be anything but the birth of two souls in one
I don't know where I am going, only where I am coming from

I don't wanna be anything but me!!

-Gavin Degraw

Screaming Infidelities - Dashboard Confessional

I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast
Is taking me home

I'm cuddling close
To blankets and sheets
But you're not alone, and you're not discreet
Make sure I know who's taking you home.

I'm reading your note over again
And there's not a word that I comprehend,
Except when you signed it
I will love you always and forever

Well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
But as for me,
I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone
Making out.

I'm missing your laugh
How did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you're pretending.

I'm cuddling closeTo blankets and sheets
and I am alone
In my defeat
I wish I knew you were safely at home

I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.

Well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
but as for me,
I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone
Making out.

Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear.(x4)

 

[Storygirl394]

(uh-oh. I'm feeling romantic...)

Maybe it's intuition, But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes I saw my future in an instant
And there it goes, I think I found my best friend
i know that it might sound more than a little crazy but I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into time
I knew I met you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only a sense of completion
And in your eyes I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for - I think I found my way home

Savage Garden - I knew I loved you

Disappear

by Hoobastank


There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you leave
Though I try to look away
The pain it still remains
Only leaving when you're next to me

Do you know that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

So I stand and look around
Distracted by the sounds
Of everyone and everything I see
And I search through every face
Without a single trace
Of the personThe person that I need

Do you know that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

Can you make them disappear
Make them disappear, oh whoa

There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you leave
Gonna search through every face
Without a single trace
Of the person
The person that I need

Do you know that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay


-----this song has very specific meaning to me right now...-----------

Subway to Sally - Herrin des Feuers

Dein Scheitel ist von Kupfer,
ein Kastanienbaum, der brennt,
glüht so heiß nicht wie dein Atem.
Feuer heißt dein Element,
und auf deinen weißen Schultern
schmilzt das Kupfer in der Glut.
Aus dem Innersten der Erde
stammt dein Name und dein Blut.

Ich bin so leicht entflammbar,
meine Haut ist aus Papier,
und der Rest von mir ist Zunder,
deine Flamme schlägt nach mir.
Deine Raubtieraugen glühen,
deine Hand verbrennt selbst Stein,
aufgelöst in tausend Funken
werd ich Rauch und Asche sein.

Herrin des Feuers, ich brenne,
das Feuer brennt lichterloh.
Herrin des Feuers, ich verbrenne
durch dich.
Einen Feuersalamander
hälst du dir als Wappentier.
Du bist Läuterung und Reinheit,
stehst für unstillbare Gier.
Aus den Haaren fallen Funken,
Schöneres hab ich nie gesehn.
Aufgelöst in Rauch und Asche
will ich brennend untergehn.

Herrin des Feuers ...

 

[NINGirl]

When you peel back my eyes
I see the pain and feel alive
My hatred heaps upon this fire
That burns inside and you blow higher
But I don't need you anymore
You cannot hurt me anymore

Keep it away from the fire unless you want it to burn
It burns -- wildfire
Set on fire
You caught on fire

And when you take me in your mind
Into this dirty sodden shrine
I do not need you anymore
You cannot hurt me anymore

that's what you get
for ****ing with us
we'll skin you alive
and pluck out your eyes
and the cannons will roar
as we march to the capitol
dragging your hide
