O+S - The Fox

_______________________________________________

I found a fox in the woods
she was cold and hungry
I gave her all that I could
I was sure that she loved me
and we were thick as thieves

Through the winter I kept her warm
fed her all she desired
then she told me in so many words
I was the one who saved her life
and she would never forget
and I would never be left

But then one day I ran out of bread
and wood to keep the fire
and when I woke, I found she had fled
to the house down the river
and I cried all night
because I had thought she was mine.

I am cynical, I have nothing you want, take everything, Don't leave anything, hollow me, take the core, leave nothing at all.

The Dear Hunter - A Curse Of Cynicism

__________________________________________________

It's a curse, in a cycle of misbelief and it keeps on happening.

A tradition, a trail of deceit, I never stopped and questioned,

"Why, is it so damn hard to find anyone who could get behind,

Such a simple plot?" Keep your eye on the prize, keep your eye on the prize!

Think what you want, believe what you think,

And know what you believe "Cause it's all misconceived.

And I asked you for nothing, nothing but, "Why?"

Because isn't an answer, it's just a reply.

It's a cure, a disciple of belief , and it keeps you here with me,

And it keeps on happening. And I never meant to kill the prize 

like an unreliable fire. Anyone can get behind,

"Keep your eye on the prize, keep your eye on the prize!"

Yeah, I am cynical, I am cynical.

It's a curse, it's a curse.

Oh, I am cynical, I am cynical.

It's a curse, it's a curse.

I am cynical, I have nothing you want, take everything,

Don't leave anything, hollow me, take the core, leave nothing at all.

I am cynical, nothing left.

I am cynical, I have nothing you want, take everything,

Don't leave anything, hollow me, take the core, leave nothing at all.

I am cynical, nothing left.

Yeah, I am cynical, I am cynical.

It's a curse, it's a curse.

Oh, I am cynical, I am cynical.

It's a curse, it's a curse. 

Wrap me in sleep, blanket of ghosts.

I've got a feeling, it's hard to explain
Feels like the devil rents a room in my brain
The things im ashamed of feel like dear old st paul
The things that I wanna do, I don't do at all

So bury me deep, cover me with snow
Wrap me in sleep, blanket of ghosts

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is so weak
I wanna kiss her lips, but I kissed her cheek
Just hear my request, give this one on fair way
Please take me home before it's too late

Bury me deep, cover me with snow
Wrap me in sleep, blanket of ghosts

Wake me when it's spring time in heaven
When the tears are all white from my face
Wake me when it's spring time in heaven
When I'm strong enough to walk in that place

Only love is all maroon. Gluey feathers on a flume

I am my mother's only one
It's enough

I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

I am my mother on the wall, with us all
I move in water, shore to shore
Nothing's more

Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leary loons
Leaving rope burns
Reddish ruse

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon 

Small, hungry points of light surrounding me on every side Like a forest at night This city has eyes.

Logh  - Forest Eyes___________________________________________

You're so very late, but I'm glad you came

This city has eyes

They keep me up at night

There's somebody there with eyes that stare

At night i dream a sleepless dream

Small, hungry points of light surrounding me on every side

Like a forest at night

This city has eyes

From somewhere outside they pan my walls like searchlights

Another night without sleep

Another day without dreams

It's dark outside

It's almost night

The nights, they're all alike

They'll show when i close my eyes

For now I'll just sit tight

I was dressed embarrassment. I was dressed in wine. If you had a part of me, will you take you're time? Even if I come back, even if I die Is there some idea to replace my life?

I have called you children, I have called you son.
What is there to answer if I'm the only one?
Morning comes in Paradise, morning comes in light.
Still I must obey, still I must invite.
If there's anything to say, if there's anything to do,
If there's any other way, I'll do anything for you.

I was dressed embarrassment.
I was dressed in wine.
If you had a part of me, will you take you're time?
Even if I come back, even if I die
Is there some idea to replace my life?
Like a father to impress;
Like a mother's mourning dress,
If you ever make a mess, I'll do anything for you

I have called you preacher; I have called you son.
If you have a father or if you haven't one,
I'll do anything for you. I did everything for you

You.

The Sound Of Animals Fighting - Act III: Modulate Back to the Tonic

__________________________________________

I've been trapped here for one hundred years
Blood, women and drink have been my only vessels on this vessel
Isn't there a way out, now?
Brave friend horizon, bring me back to fourteen

There's a million ways out of the city
I don't know one
His way was to pursue birds, with food in their mouths
Suitable for humans, snatching from them.
Then the birds would follow and snatch it back
And they would all go chasing each other gaily for miles
Parting at last with mutual expressions of goodwill
"Save him, save him", they cried
Looking with horror at the cruel sea far below

We're hanging from our ankles
We're hanging from this spot
We're hanging from our ankles
... From this spot
My hand brings you back up on to dreary land,
To form our end
Form...

I've been trapped here for one hundred years
Blood, women and drink have been my only vessels on this vessel
Isn't there a way out, now?
Brave friend horizon, bring me back to fourteen

Indeed, a million golden arrows were pointing it out to children
All directed by their friendly sign, who wanted them to destroy their way
Before leaving them for the night.
In an unexplored patch as they rose and they spread,
Black shadows began to dawn on them.
The roar of the seas took prey, this is quite different now
And above all, we'd lost the certainty that you would live
When at last it had been steady again, he found himself alone in the darkness.

We're hanging from our ankles
(Is this exactly what you wished for?)
We're hanging from this spot
(I am through with it all)
We're hanging from our ankles
(Is this exactly what you wished for?)
I am through with it all
My hand brings you back up on to dreary land,
To form our end
Form...

We're hanging from our ankles

And in the twilight of this hour when fools are mistaken for men this shadow suits me well my regrets are faced in the end

Little Joys - With strangers

____________________________________________________

I bet you're wondering how I knew
That this would come to an end
He stole your heart from you
So you tossed me out to the wind

I keep pretending not to care
Oh the winter scent in her hair
Compels my hands to do
The things my heart wouldn't dare
I'll keep holding on to you
See no use perfecting lives with strangers
If only you, if only now

And in the twilight of this hour
When fools are mistaken for men
This shadow suits me well
My regrets are faced in the end

I'll keep holding on to you
See no use perfecting lives with strangers
If only you, if only now

Guess who's coming to dinner.

Why? - Gnashville

sometimes i claim to know a guy but i can't tell you what his hands look like. 

guess who's coming to dinner.

gnashville. never in the night.

never in the night when the knot grows tighter than fingers can untie
and all the last half dammed rivers have gone dry
does the cock crow thrice until someone is denied
or the morning comes
you wonder will you ever get your shit together
what is that a leather sofa and a feather in an old fur hat
fake tat lost in a box of cracker jacks
practicing your plane wreck face in a first class lav

(that's what the ghost of someone's dad might say)

when they come calling, i won't go calm
there is no palm or divine mitt
with which to hold one's pit
or seperate the human race from its enviroment
no scattered ashes loosely gather asking where the fire went
we're left with half truth psalms
in an indecypherable scrawl in some vague extinct language
ancient ink dull, almost vanished on some old brittle scroll

(that's what the ghost of someone's dad might say)

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

your beard is growing wild my dear I love your face rosy cheeks and pale skin makes me feel this way like a little girl inside I want to hug you day and night, night.

right next to me, me

your beard is growing wild my dear
I love your face
rosy cheeks and pale skin
makes me feel this way
like a little girl inside
I want to hug you day and night, night

let your eyes grow big
and your heart beat full
share with me your now and past oh my dear
sit with me and hold our hands so so tight
why not let go and see what I see
don't be shy and lift your hands up high

The Pax Cecilia - The Tomb Song

__________________________________________________

Some requiem must be composed,
for spirits still weighted to this world.

A man makes love to sorrow...
When the sacred jaws of restlessness, 
bring him only burden.
When his truths are moths in mist, 

They whisper: "Oh Apotheosis! Oh holy bulb of light!"
He learns that it is his shadow, 
not just darkness that gives form to the night.

But we will put some definition to freedom, to the divine, our throats, our strings all wild in vibration, and with that sound we will bring the air to flames.

I can't even pretend that you are my friend What has happened to you and I? And don't say that I have changed. 'Cause man, of course I have.

Cato, play with my head
I won't know the difference
If we're living in the novelist

Cato, mess with my concepts
My inner vision
Like a strobing light
Please confuse my every decision

I can't even pretend that you are my friend
What has happened to you and I?
And don't say that I have changed
'Cause man, of course I have

Are you far too depressed
Now even to answer the phone?
I guess you just want to
Shave your head, have a drink and be left alone

Is that too much to ask?

And I will rejoice in your fall from grace with a cane to the sky like 'None shall pass.'

Aesop Rock - None shall pass

_____________________________________________________________

Flash that buttery gold, jittery zeitgeist 
Wither by the watering hole, water patrol 
What are we, a heart huckabee, art fuckery suddenly? 
Not enough young in his lung for the water wings? 
Colorfully vulgar poacher at a mulch like 
'I'ma pull the pulse out a soldier and bolt.' (Fine) 
Sign of the time we elapsed 
When a primate climb up the spine and attach 
Eye for an eye, by the bog's life swamps and vines 
They get a rise out of frogs and flies 
So when a dog fights hog-tied prize sorta costs a life 
The mouths water on a fork and knife 
And the allure isn't right 
It's gore on a war-torn beach 
Where the cash cows actually beef 
Blood turns wine when I leak for police 
Like 'That's not a riot, it's a feast, let's eat.' 

And I will remember your name and face 
On the day you were judged by the funhouse cast 
And I will rejoice in your fall from grace 
With a cane to the sky like 'None shall pass.' 
None shall pass, none shall pass 

Now if he never had a day a snow cone couldn't fix 
he wouldn't relate to the rouge vocoder bliss 
How he spoke through a no-doz, motor on the fritz 
'Cause he wouldn't play roll over, fetch, like a bitch 
And express no regrets though he isn't worth the homeowners piss 
To the jokers who pose by the glitz (Fine) 
Sign of the swine and the swarm 
When a king is a whore who comply and conform 

Miles outside of the eye of the storm 
With a siphon to lure and a prize and award 
While avoiding the vile and bizarre that is violence and war 
True blue triumph is more 
Like wait, let it snake up outta the centerfold 
Let it break the walls of Jericho. ready? go. 
Sat where the old cardboard city folks 
Swap tails with heads like every other penny throw 
 
Okay, woke to a grocery list 
Goes like this: duty and death 
Anyone object, come stand in the way 
You can be my little Snake River Canyon today 
And I ran with a chain of commands 
And a jetpack strap where the backstab lands if it can. (Fine) 
Sign of the vibe in the crowd 
When I cut a belly open to find what climb out 
What a bit of gusto he muster up 
Make a dark horse rush like enough's enough 
It must'a struck a nerve so they huff and puff 
Till all the king's men fluster and clusterfuck 
And it's a beautiful thing 
To my people who keep an impressive wing span 
Even when the cubicle shrink 
You gotta pull up the intruder by the root of the weed 
NY chew through the machine 

Help me stand. Let me be another man, someone who can understand your foolish game.

Something's wrong 
If I am not about to fall 
In and out of love

Help me stand 
Let me be another man
Someone who can understand
Your foolish game

Well I'm here
And I won't be 
What you want me to be
Some drunken remedy
The punishment you think you need

I'm right here
And I won't be 
What you choose me to be
Some foolish enemy
The answer that you think you need

But I know
We both are getting old
We will be feeling weaker
In the coming days

Let me out of here my love
Get me out of here my love 

In pale eyes I lost my breath to seek your silence to seek your face.

I am alive
I am alive
and that is the best that i can do

you told me you lied
you swore you were mine
i took you back a thousand times

talking a town
you've been around
if he is the man you want the go

but tonight we'll leave
all our lovers behind
and try to live a quiet life
my love is dressing me like a clown

you are an ass
a snake in the grass
and he seeps from out your pores

and baby it's time
to pay for my crime
nothing i say can make you mine

you either sing it in key
or run into me
i can fake it as good as you

but tonight we'll leave
all our spirit songs
we'll drive and reach the hills by dawn
my love is dressing me like a clown

but tonight we'll leave
all our lovers behind
and try to live a quiet life
margot dress me like a clown

tonight we'll drink
into an early grave
we'll laugh, we will not be safe
someone has dressed us all like clowns

darling it's sin
where do i begin?
putting the contact lenses in

you say the lights
scurry like mice
reflect in the streets
and your blue eyes

out of the roof
wait to grow up
turn me around and lock me up

baby you are an ass
a snake in the grass
vanity oozes out your pores

Oooh, ooooh
Oooh, ooooh

The devil makes us sin but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over when we're uncomfortable
oh well the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.

Love is like a sin my love
For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with a smile like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you, again 

As the TV flickers and hums by the wall and I wait for my eyesight to fade.So, So, So It’s so damn slow.

Electric President - Insomnia

____________________________________________________

There’s a light bulb dangling from string
It’s slowly swaying up over my head now
As I jot down the words that’ll never be sung
And wait for my headache to numb
And the wind sounds as if the world’s sighing
And the moon’s just a torn fingernail
As the TV flickers and hums by the wall
And I wait for my eyesight to fade

So, So, So
It’s so damn slow
So, So, So
It’s so damn slow

And the bright-eyed choke on ambition
And the old folks circle their graves
And the young ones are busy destroying their names
And you’re still just wasting away.
I sit and watch the screen for a message
Some kinda sign that says we’re OK
But the screen stays blank till I turn the thing off
And wait for my conscience to break.

So, So, So
It’s so damn slow
So, So, So
It’s so damn slow

I hope you’re learning to listen
And I hope you’re learning to stay
And I hope you find what you’re missing
And I hope that you’re making you’re way
I’m a headcase if I don’t keep moving
And my head hurts if I don’t sit still
It’s an itch that I’ll never stop scratching
It’s a hole that I’ll never quite fill

So

This is the last song you will ever hear me sing.

The Appleseed Cast - A dream for us

Cause what i feel inside
i dont want to hide
it's you that got to me
its what i want to sing
cause i've got a dream for us
running through my mind
sitting on the beach
looking at the sea
and we're old and tired
and time has made us smile
as we go on counting things
people in the breeze
we're not the only ones
there's hundreds on the shore
looking at the sea
but it's just you and me
if the day never comes
i sink beneath the tide
will you still be with me
or disappear?

So if love is true, let's burn the factory, take off your shoes it's time for dancin'

RX Bandits - ....And the battle begun

_______________________________________________________

Am I crazy because I want to touch your skin?
Is it ludicrous that I've got nothing to believe in that
was built by human hands or controlled by demand?
So if love is true, let's burn the factory,
take off your shoes it's time for dancin'

I never leave the house without a pocket of pills,
operator, operator I've got no solitude
from the digging hands (no way)
I think I'm losing it and I can't keep up
operator, operator it's nothing personal
but i'm choking tears, I'm thinking bout giving in
It's no better than before, it's just never mentioned

We keep running this race that can't be won,
I keep coming up empty
Doctor doctor you know they try to sell my trust
and they call me crazy
Box to box you know it never stops,
we're playing boomerang highways
in an endless search for meaning
I pray for something real
One kiss for all the world, a taste for all that's precious

Take it away release all your tension

All their paper never feels like my lovers kiss
or the warmth of her touch while we dream
so if I'm insane so be it, I'll trade in everything
One kiss for all the world, one more for all that's precious

Are we going nowhere?
We need disaster to love until we're blinded
indeed we are caught, what if we get free?

Take it away and it's all your strife
Take it away release all your tension

I miss the rhineland. I miss home.

Dear child, they're asking us to move

I watched her taking off her shoes

(Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)

I'm weary, I'm not quite rested yet

This could be obvious to you

(Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)

In this short time we've been spreading in

Dear sleeper, you couldn't find a better bed

I loved to watch the way you groove

We're out, we're out the door

We're out, we're out the door

In this short time we've been spreading in.

I've been dying to reach you,

But your extension cord doesn't reach that far

I've been patiently waiting,

The indicator light is flashing on

(It's flashing on)

In this coma, sleepless dancing

We've been spreading in.

I've been dying to reach you but

Your extension cord wouldn't reach that far,

Doesn't reach that far,

Reach that far.

I've been desperately waiting

The indicator light is flashing on,

It's flashing on,

Flashing on.

I've been dying to reach you,

But your extension cord wouldn't reach that far,

Wouldn't reach that far,

Reach that far.
