When you think you've found something worth holding onto
Were you reaching for attention, hoping she would notice you?
Collecting bottles and thrown-away cans
Like she was returnable
One day would we fill your hands?
How she loved you, all you imagined
Fit so well into you plans
Maybe one day soon it'll all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of how you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times
Pining away every hour in your room
Rolling with the motion, waiting til it's opportune
Sitting there watching time fly past you
Why do tomorrow
What you could never do
How she loved you
All you imagined
All the shit you put her through
And it takes a lot of nerve to ask how she is doing
Start with a weak foundation, you will end in ruins
The way the days and hours pass you'll never understand
Falling like rain through your hands
Troubled Times

Turn my head I don't have to see you
Turn my head you make me want to cry
Close my eyes but I can still see you
Wish that I could travel back in time
Because I'm so grateful to you
Because I'm so faithful to you
Because I'm so grateful to you
Turn my head I don't wanna to see you
Turn my head you make me wanna to cry
Change your mind and I will forgive you
We'll take time to try to make things right
Because I'm so grateful to you
Up above the world so bright
Because I'm so faithful to you
You are flying like a kite
Because I'm so grateful to you
Up above the world so bright.
Turn My Head

If a man does not keep pace with his companions,
perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music he hears,
however measured or far away.

I wanna chose to die and be buried with a Rubik's cube
And sleep inside the big blue buildings
While the sweet disease drives through
There's a bakery in the night sky
I wanna die because the government lied
She was a man with herpes, floating in a yellow stream
Running through the windows backwards, kissing all the buildings clean
You know his appetite for hardcore taste
And orgyastic party games
She woke up in the highway
With arrows pointing at her face
Later that day in gym class
She ate a mouth full of anthrax
Go to sleep

Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how whatsername has been
Seems that she disappeared without a trace
Did she ever marry old what's his face?
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how whatsername has been
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
The regrets are useless
In my mind
She's in my head
I must confess
The regrets are useless
In my mind
She's in my head
From so long ago
And in the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
I'll never turn back time
Forgetting you, but not the time.
Whatsername

| About love... |
[Mar. 26th, 2009|01:21 am] |
Someone I admire greatly wrote this:
"This is something that I found in amongst my belongs, stuffed in between some pages of a journal. It's about love between a husband and wife, but I find it can apply to love in general...so I've just changed some of the wording to make it about loving other people, whoever that may be. Just thought it was inspiring....
"Most of us love based on because, not on anyway. I love you because you're good to me. I love you because you're kind, because you're considerate...
But in Luke 6:32-36, Jesus says we shouldn't love because. If we love someone because that person is good to us, or gives back to us, or is kind to us, we're acting no better than anyone else. In essence, Jesus is saying you don't need the Holy Spirit to love someone who remembers every birthday. Or to love a friend who lavishes you with gifts, who goes out of their way to make you feel special or comfortable....anyone could love someone like that!
But if you love someone who disappoints you, who can be a little bit self-absorbed - now you're loving anyway. In doing that you're following the model of the heavenly Father, who loves the ungrateful and the wicked.
Will you love only because? Or are you willing to love anyway? Will you love someone who doesn't appreciate your sacrifice? Will you love someone who takes you for granted? Will you love someone who isn't nearly as kind to you as you are to him or her?
Just about every faithless relationship is based on because love. Christians are called to anyway love. That's what makes us different. That's what gives glory to God. That's what helps us appreciate God's love for us, because God loves us anyway. He gives and gives and gives - and we take him for granted. He is eager to meet with us and we get too busy to notice Him. He is good to us, and we accuse Him mercilessly when something doesn't go just the way we planned it.
But God loves us anyway. To love anyway is to love like God - and to learn about God's love for us.
That's love, the way God intended it."

I still dream of algernon
I wake up crying
Youre making rain
And youre just in reach
When you and sleep escape me
Youre like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark
What made it special
Made it dangerous
So I bury it
And forget
But every time it rains
Youre here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna to happen
And I dont know when
But just saying it could even make it happen
On top of the world
Looking over the edge
You could see them coming
You looked too small
In their big, black car
To be a threat to the men in power
I hid my yo-yo
In the garden
I cant hide you
From the government
Oh, god, daddy
I wont forget
Cause every time it rains
Youre here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna to happen
And I dont know when
But just saying it could even make it happen

Casually close, all winter long
Self respected, oh darling
Calling and calling
Suffering for what I see
Taking a walk on the sea
Oh, I don’t need a boat to take you home with me
Symbolically treasure falling
A mile a minute talking, only an inch walking
My ears collision
Trying to remember a scene, I wanna look back with ease
30 years or more revealing
Lie in bed, bruise a hole in the ceiling
Business is booming, offering true rage
You should know better, break the spell
Don’t take forever
Geishaly grateful
Patiently painful
Faithfully hopeful
Growth spurt and damp
Don’t want someone who looks like you
Someone who talks like you, just won't due
My favourite person, place or thing.
If only I could tell you, I guess I'm telling you now
Had plenty of time, let it get away, long gone
Before the heart of the matter
Let's see what's the matter with me, shall we?
I’m the moment before we say goodnight
You, you’re the moment after
What’s real and in the soul is better by far
Than what I could conjure or wish upon a rolling shore
