Dreams of Mars

I’d buy “Big Thing” just for this song.

Walk the edge of America
A concrete beach to scrape my hand
Inside the subway stinking fear and shame
Becomes the violent breath

Vigilantes out on dawn patrol
But now there’s nothing left to hide
I’m just a number on the metal fence
Which marks the great divide

Hey boy
Give your dreams a rest
If you’re tired of searching
This is where it ends
There’s nothing left to lose
Nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now
Anger here is all you possess
Welcome to the age

Below the towers of the citadel
Seems someone overlooked the cost
Forgotten soldier of paradise
Now paradise is lost

Recognition never realized
Salvation lost among the crowd
So tell me beside this sterile sea
Where is your nation now?

And we say
Hey boy
Give your dreams a rest
If you’re tired of searching
This is where it ends
There’s nothing left to lose
Nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now
Anger here is all you possess
Welcome to the edge

Something Is Killing Tate – a quote.

[Man bangs on door and yells repeatedly for ex-fiancee.]
Kid: You know she’s at work, right?
Tate: Yeah, I just- I just forgot.
Kid: You gonna wait for her to get back?
Tate: She’s worth it, isn’t she?
Kid: Yeah, she is. But don’t worry, you’ll get her back.
Tate: What makes you so sure?
Kid: ‘Cause she loves you and you love her.
Tate: Yeah, I do.
Kid: I got to ride my bike today.
Tate: I see, you having fun?
Kid: Yeah.
Tate: I haven’t had fun in a long time.
Kid: Maybe you should get a bike.
Tate: Maybe I should.
Kid: Well, I’m gonna go ride my bike now.
Tate: Okay, I won’t hold you up.
Kid: Okay.. Bye.
Tate: Bye.
Kid: Oh wait, I almost forgot.
[Kid hugs Tate]
Kid: Thanks.
Tate: You’re welcome.

A poem for regret.

For a long time,
this girl gave and gave to this man,
but he refused to accept anything she offered.

Still, she kept at it.
And still, he refused.

One day,
the girl decides she’s doing everything wrong,
going about it all wrong.

She begins giving him little pieces of herself.
And he refuses every last one.
She cannot figure out what she’s doing wrong.

Finally, the girl cuts out her fragile heart.
She boxes it up, and leaves it on his doorstep, with a note.
“All I ever wanted was for you to have this.”

The man is horrified,
but feels no regret,
no sorrow.

The girl cries a single tear,
as her heart breaks in the cardboard box.
And she sinks to the ground,
soon to become one with the soil.

She has given all she can,
and still this man,
this wonderful man,
does not want her.

She has nothing left,
so she gives him just that.
And while she feels herself slipping from her body’s grasp,
she can hear his footsteps,
running.
She can see his face,
watching her float away.
And finally, there is regret.

ThouShaltNot – Oh Invisible

There she goes into the sea
This is aging, this is love, this is free
There she goes, she’s airtight
Oh, invisible subway, oh, invisible lights

Oh, invisible tilting heart and mind
Oh, invisible darling
Your voice is breaking up
And out pours this night

There she goes into the sea
Where it moves like healing, where is tastes like mercury
But she’ll get used to all the salt
If she’s not already hooked on all the chemicals that call

Oh, invisible bride, where is your dress?
Oh, invisible darling
Your voice is tenderness
And out pours this night

Out pours this night

Fast-forward through the coral, though bones of highways white
Here history is illuminated, and each fragment’s like
A sunken liner where rust and silver wait for me
And I’m a wave butcher, cutting, chopping

Here I come into the sea

There you go into the sea
This is losing, this is love, this is me
There you go, it’s alright
Oh, invisible ocean, oh, invisible sky

Oh, invisible swimming heart and mind
Oh, invisible darling
Your voice is still with me
And out pours this night

Oh, invisible

We are broken.

I would cut my heart out,
And to you, I would give.
Forever, my emotion, my life would be with you.
In a pretty box, lined with satin, adorned with ribbon.
There my heart would lie, my love for you.
Always safe, always alive.
No more pain.

Akira Yamaoka – You’re Not Here

Blue sky to forever,
green grass blows in the wind, dancing
It would be much better a sight with you, with me,
If you hadn’t met me, I’d be fine on my own, baby,
I never felt so lonely, then you came along,
So now what should I do? I’m strung out, addicted to you,
My body it aches, now that you’re gone,

My supply fell through,
You gladly gave me everything you had and more,
You craved my happiness,
When you make me feel joy it makes you smile,
But now I feel your stress.

Love was never meant to be such a crazy affair, no..
And who has time for tears?
Never thought I’d sit around and cry for your love..
‘Til now.

You’re Not Here © Akira Yamaoka

How do I set you free?

Today I saw Kevin, and we had a long talk (as usual) about many things (also usual).
He said two things I really liked:
“You can’t be his saviour.”
“Ohoho, you underestimate the power of sex greatly, Jen.”

Flowing Tears – Colossal Shaped Despair

Trapped in solemn cries,
Together weave departure.
For all tomorrow’s lies,
We never walk alone…

Inhale the world’s demise,
The ashes of our martyrs.
Swear alone, forever contemplate,
Fear no more, and celebrate the end!

Don’t Leave Alone…

Feel redemption here,
The ones who lead to follow.
The sense of borrowed life,
I never meant to care…

Restrain your world’s decline,
The ashes of betrayal.
Take no more, together isolate,
Swear no more, and tolerate the end!

We crossed the borderline,
As ones who take good care.
Before all fortune lies,
Colossal shaped despair.

Don’t Leave Alone…

Damien Rice – Rootless Tree

What I want from you
Is empty your head
They say be true
Don’t stain your bed
We do what we need to be free
And it leans on me
Like a rootless tree

What I want from us
Is empty our minds
We fake a fuss
And fracture the times
We go blind
When we’ve needed to see
And it leans on me
Like a rootless…

So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
And all we’ve been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
It’s nothing to you
And if you hate me, hate me, hate me
Then hate me so good that you can let me out
Let me out of this hell when you’re around
Let me out, let me out,
Let me out of this hell when you’re around
Let me out, let me out

What I want from this
Is learn to let go
No not of you
Of all that is old
Killers reinvent and believe
And this leans on me
Like a rootless…

So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
And all we’ve been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it,
It’s nothing to you
And if you hate me, hate me , hate me,
Then hate me so good that you can let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out of this hell when you’re around

And fuck you, fuck you, I love you
And all we’ve been through
I said leave it
It’s nothing to you
And if you hate me
Then hate me so good that you can let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out,
Hell when you’re around…(Repeat 4x)

Let me out, let me out, let me out…

It’s hell when you’re around.

Just a moment.

I guess the joke hasn’t hit me yet…
‘Cause I’m still waiting on my Juliet.
She must be held up somewhere.

Ooh, she will be the air I breathe..
She’ll come for good and never want to leave..
And I’ll love her only, I swear.
