lord of song
(and maybe there's a god above

but all i ever learned from love

was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you)

Maybe god can be on both sides of the gun...?

'Heaven is gay,' Tortoise said.


which surprised me, because I'd always taken him for Christian. I know to assume is to make an ass out of you and me, as Herbie pointed out and I remember that lesson, but...

the face, the stance, the righteous upholding, the tolerance, the nice-guy attitude, and I bet even the white ruff of his hair had something to do with it.

so, he's not Christian.


that makes me feel warm, curious and surprised...


emotions are for the damned, ne?

The Northen Kings are actually pretty good :]

and that's an understatement, because if it weren't for them, I wouldn't do the RxL vid. It's because of their actually decent, DECADENT cover that I am even making the video.

God, smoking his last cigarette, bless them. :3




OhmyGod, the Fray have a new album.

OhmyGod, the Fray are poets.





Yeah.

Religious debate in school today o.0

or a lame ripoff of what debates are supposed to be xDD More on that later.



Trying not to lose my head but I have never been this scared before,

Tell you what I’ll do instead, lay my body down on the floor,

To forget what I’ve done, silhouette til the good lord come,

All we know is distance,

We’re close and then we run.

Kiss away the difference,

I know you hate this one.

Trying not to lose your own, boxing up everything, you’ve got

All you ever knew of home, you’re scared scared to see-

Your mother there in the door, you wonder where did the years go?

All we know is distance.

We’re close and then we run,

Kiss away the difference.

I know you hate this one,

But this is how the story ends.

Or have we just begun?

To kiss away the difference,

I know you hate this one.

The violins make no sound,

And I begin to feel the ground,

All we know is distance,

We’re close and then we run.

Kiss away the difference,

I know you hate this one.
But this is where the story ends, Or have we just begun... To kiss away the difference, I know you hate this one.



Happiness is just outside my window
Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour?
Or is happiness a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in?

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can't make it come or go
But you are gone- not for good but for now
Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that's enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar
Happiness is like the old man told me Look for it, but you'll never find it all Let it go, live your life and leave it Then one day, wake up and she'll be



Home,
home,
home.



Made it fourteen city blocks without breathing
Light breaks from the left and hits between the buildings
Stoplights change their name from green to red to green again
Love has its critics but they never keep many friends

It's alright, this could be a rough night
So hold tight, this is not a fair fight

She up and died and left you in a fall you can not forget
You were too young, you said "Not yet, not yet, not yet."
That year the cherries choked from pretty pink to red to brown
You looked around but she was nowhere to be found

It's alright, this could be a rough night
So hold tight, this is not a fair fight
It's alright, this will be a rough night So hold tight, this is not a fair fight.



The how I can't recall
But I'm staring at what once was the wall
Separating east and west
Now they meet amidst the broad daylight

So this is where you are, and this is where I am
Somewhere between unsure and a hundred

It's hard I must confess
I'm banking on the rest to clear away

Cause we have spoken everything

Everything short of I love you


You right where you are, from right where I am
Somewhere between unsure and a hundred

And who's to say it's wrong
And who's to say that it's not right
Where we should be for now

So this is where you are, and this is where I am
So this is where you are, and this is where I've been
Somewhere between unsure and a hundred


If only I knew what I know I'd make it a point to say so To everyone that got me here And everyone that made it

Clear I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
That I would not lose my way
When I was astray ...

I'm doing the best that I could.
Trying my best to be understood
Maybe I'm changing slowly
I get out, turn around...

If only I knew I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
that I would not lose my way
When I was dead wrong all along

Mine is not a new story
Mine is not a new story
Mine is nothing new
But it is for me

So I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
That you thought I'd lost my way
When I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
That I would not lose my way

Did I really lose my way
[Or are you afraid?]


Not that you're the one, Not to say I'm right, Not to say today, And not to say a thing tonight.


But suffice it to say
We're leaving things unsaid
We sing ourselves to sleep
Watching the day lie down instead

And we are leaving some things unsaid
And we are breathing deeper instead

We're both pretty sure
Neither one can tell
We seem difficult
What we got is hard as hell

A hundred thousand words could not quite explain
So I walk you to your car And we can talk it out in the rain

And we are leaving some things unsaid
And we are breathing deeper instead
And we are leaving some things unsaid

I can sing myself to sleep
No more

Not that you're the one
Not to say I'm right
Not to say today
And not to say a thing tonight...



yes, I will put the above six songs to RxL.

So be it.


The city hall in my mind, met last night
Rumors of reelection started to fly

It's my funeral today, my funeral today
I laid it down Underneath the sound

It's my principle concern, my principle concern is what you say
But I wanted it this way.
Cause I'm throwin down without a fight

You're more than welcome to look around
Consult your checklist go underground
I'll claim a stake here inside the frame
But I'm going under another way

I won't return after today
So I'm at liberty to say what's on my mind
And it some I like

You can't watch me anymore, you can't make me like before
When I was yours when all I wanted was the door
So I'm throwin down without a fight

You're more than welcome to look around
Consult your checklist go underground
I'll claim a stake here inside the frame
But I'm going under another way

Decision on the dock head
Make up your mind and if you get consensus
Drop me a line

The city hall in my mind, got together last night
Rumors of reelection started to fly
