If I could break it, I would [26 Jan 2012|01:18am]

The only one on the street

It's wet
Seattle's cold sweat

Blowing into my glasses
Blur
Blue hue of distant buildings

My face is frozen
in a serious glance

All while
I only hear the strobe

And I realize only now
All along

I just didn't have the fuel
To be driven by conviction

I don't pray to God
I watch the screen
I'm stubborn
I don't want your advice
I want to see for myself

Feel what they felt
Live the lives
I have not
and will never

You grow up with Dylan singing your fairy tales and Bowie almost sounds complacent in comparison, but it makes you feel at home. You can't help but feel something is missing unless you're left wondering what it all means. Lynch is like your prophet. You realize you don't even know what you're saying. Maybe it'll mean something to someone else.

Keep on truckin'
Things fall into place and you do oh so much more.
Was that a stop sign? I doubt it, buddy.

Although, I gotta admit. I feel that void inside,
cuz the voice is a' died.

You listen to progressive rock and they count.
It's your second, your third, fourth if your lucky.
Fifth if you're damned. Certainly not the first,
cuz that voice is a' died.

They say do your best. She says do your best.
They demand.
I do.
She kissed me on the forehead,
and she a' tucks me in at night.

One more nightmare.

I did my best and looking for someone.
I guess I'm doing that.

And know who tucks me in?

I demand.
My bow of burning gold,
my chariot of fire,
my spear,
let those fucking clouds unfold.

This man tucks himself,
as the clouds unfold.

Hit me with your rhythm stick. [01 Oct 2011|05:45am]
There I sat in the back seat. Listening to him drum on that Moby Dick for 7 minutes. I looked up at the moon and it was chasing me, again. I tried to remember that feeling. It was a heigh daze, really, just a haze.

He was there, too, foolishly.

Can't argue. [01 Oct 2011|05:40am]
We all sat around a table. it was time to brain storm. Shoot me with ideas. Charge me with clever. Burn me with love.

"Ok, so it's like between Animal Crossing and Radiant Silver Gun."

Yeah, I was burned.

I like your eyes. I drink from your glasses. I taste what helped you see.

I shouldn't really feel this drunk.

You traveled all this way,
where our fucked up heroes lived (and died).
I sit in this town everyday.
I walk passed his street,
his spot, his place, his influence.

I look and shrug.
You foreigners sure do like strange things.

no forte for pop culture faggots [01 Oct 2011|05:27am]
i once was a child and i only wanted the bad
why didn't the bad ever happen to me?

i threw away the good, but i dunno,
if it could ever be that good.

i kept hoping, thinking,
i wanna live life, people who really LIVE,
feel the bad

and i got the bad
the bad felt good
and when the bad stopped,
i felt even worse

stupidly, i realize, they only ever talk about the bad
cuz it hurt so bad,
stupid, stupid
but hey i lived!

ooh but wait, then i died!
did i tell you how i died?

I felt the good! And I said it was good!
Oh, how fucking good and juicy!
One day I stepped and slipped,
believe me of my own fault,
accord.

The good stopped, and it was bad.
So bad, and even worse it was.
Oh how it pained,
until I remembered,
Hey, they talk about this, too!

They live, but you die.

bet on this [01 Oct 2011|05:17am]
in the boxing ring,
but i'm alone
but it's a fight

"i'm the master of shadow boxing" he shouts
i smugly laugh, and tie up my hands
left jab, left jab, zip, zip,
right lead, right hook, left hook,
uppercut

my shadow just stared,
and he raised his hand at me
i was absorbed by his fist

so this is shadow boxing, i think
i thought

it's time to C R Y [01 Oct 2011|04:47am]
obfuscated by arbitrary words
en garde, i shout!
but the buzzer rang
before i felt the pang

lying before me,
these emotions--but visible,
wrapped tight with letters.

there's love,
there's pride,
wrapped tight with letters.
spelled D I E

i fail to see
how others fail to see
looking back in the old picture book
you look so much like your father
you're not the same person,
but you're the same man.
and, too, inside
is your mother's woman.

i fail to see
how others fail to see
both of them are inside
a man
a woman.

drunk with shy self confidence
so peerless it hurts
smoking and you all breath in second hand lies

i've never felt so shitty, but i learned so much
a few years ago, i found it hard to be upset with seeing an ex's picture
i was cold and cynical
i'm emotionally still a child
i've made it to the point where i can open up
i've not made it to the point where i can keep someone else sane

when you don't turn off
when things keep running
there's no way to rationalize
to have something be good
the dark side keeps coming into view
if you can turn off your brain
stop it at some point
you can learn
to start enjoying things

Ha, last time I open up my heart for a good while.
Feeling pretty good, though.
Sit and spin, bitches.



Wait, what?
I'm completely wrong, maybe. No, wait. Uh... ladies?

Create as much order as you can in your life in preparation for the wave if disorder that is chaos. It's coming. Just don't hold on too tightly.

[ mood | clear ]

They closed the gates. Iron bars obscure the glowing, the machines still humming with soft light. This arcade is gone for good, but we still see it alive. We don't seem to get it. Who are we? We're the ones with quarters still in our pockets. Who are we? We're the ones with crowbars in our hands.
