DEAR ROUGE LIVE - I Heard I Had

DEAR ROUGE LIVE - I Heard I Had
http://youtu.be/igKO3kebnB0

I heard
A little siren noise
While I was walking out my door
I had
A little bit of doubt
That this would really be worth it all

Do it do it do it do it do it do it

I had
A messed up thought
That turned in to a life vocation
I heard
You never really hurt
Until it's gone
Don't care; whatever

Do it do it do it do it do it do it

All my
All my fires
I'm not putting out
I'm not putting down
All my fires

I felt
A little bit of fear
I got caught when I just got started
It's like I just can't stop
But I can't go on forever

Do it do it do it do it do it do it

Uh-uh-ooh

All my
All my fires
I'm not putting out
I'm not putting down

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Save me
Save me last
I'm outnumbered now
I'm outnumbered now

The cause was
The reaction
All my fires

All my fires
Yeah!
Oh oh
All my fires

All my
All my fires
I'm not putting out
I'm not putting down

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Save me
Save me last
I'm outnumbered now
I'm outnumbered now

The cause was
The reaction
All my fires

I'm all packed up now early in the morning
I'll take my leave
I'll bring your words along with me
Maybe one day they will mean something

For now they buzz and crumble down
A little bit too easily
From a time that I am not quite over
What the hell is wrong with me?

I might be gone a little while
I guess we'll see
I gotta make a home outta somewhere
And you're all over this city

And it'll take a flight to figure out
Where I'm gonna finally land
And the time it takes for me get there
I'll be one to start again

But I should probably say that I'm unsure why I'm running
Running away from the only thing I want
Yeah, I should probably say that I'm unsure why I'm running
Running away from the one I love

And if the plane lifts off
I'll write you a letter to say goodbye
And I will make it long and maybe lie just a little
Tell you that I'm doing fine

Then I'll send it out and let things be
If not for you
For me and for the time I've spent
Foolishly loving thee

But I should probably say that I'm unsure why I'm running
Running away from the only thing I want
Yeah, I should probably say that I'm unsure why I'm running
Running away from the one I love
The one I love

What will grow crooked, you can't make straight
It's the price that you gotta pay
Do yourself a favor and pack you bags
Buy a ticket and get on the train
Buy a ticket and get on the train

Cause this is fucked up, fucked up
Cause this is fucked up, fucked up

People get crushed like biscuit crumbs
And laid down in the bitumen
You have tried your best to please everyone
But it just isn't happening
No, it just isn't happening

And it's fucked up, fucked up
And this is fucked up, fucked up
This your blind spot, blind spot
It should be obvious, but it's not.
But it isn't, but it isn't

You cannot kick start a dead horse
You just crush yourself and walk away
I don't care what the future holds
Cause I'm right here and I'm today
With your fingers you can touch me

I'm your black swan, black swan
But I made it to the top, made it to the top
This is fucked up, fucked up

You are fucked up, fucked up
This is fucked up, fucked up

Be your black swan, black swan
I'm for spare parts, broken up

She may contain the urge to run away
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
Citrezene your fever’s gripped me again
Never kisses all you ever send are fullstops, la la la la

Do you know where the wilds things go
They go along to take your honey,la la la la
Break down now weep build up breakfast now
Let’s eat my love my love love love, la la la la

Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah

Do you know where the wild things go
They go along to take your honey, la la la la
Break down let’s sleep build up breakfast now
Let’s eat my love my love love love, la la la la

She bruises coughs she splutters pistol shots
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
She’s morphine queen of my vaccine my love my love love love, la la la la

Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut
And ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah

She may contain the urge to runaway
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
Germaline disinfect the scene my love my love love love
But please don’t go I love you so my lovely
Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so
Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so
Please break my heart, hey

Paper Kite
Damien Jurado

I'll be right outside
Floating by like a paper kite
I'm caught up in your string
Lucky in enough to be in your tree

And you'll never float too long

The birds watch as I sing
Waiting around for scissor teeth
And I could be of use
One more knot in a prisoner's noose

And you'll never float too long

And you'll never float too long
And you'll never float too long

A Season For All Things

Think what you will
You cannot be still
Not even for a minute
What burns will burn
The world still turns
And we are turning with it

Messes of Men by mewithoutYou


"I do not exist," we faithfully insist
sailing in our separate ships,
and in each tiny caravel -
tiring of trying, there's a necessary dying
like the horseshoe crab in its proper season sheds its shell
such distance from our friends,
like a scratch across a lens,
made everything look wrong from anywhere we stood
and our paper blew away before we'd left the bay
so half-blind we wrote these songs on sheets of salty wood

you caught me making eyes at the other boatmen's wives
and heard me laughing louder at the jokes told by their daughters
I'd set my course for land,
but you well understand
it takes a steady hand to navigate adulterous waters
the propeller's spinning blades held acquaintance with the waves
as there's mistakes I've made no rowing could outrun
the cloth low on the mast like to say Ive got no past
but I'm nonetheless the librarian and secretary's son
with tarnish on my brass and mildew on my glass
I'd never want someone so crass as to want someone like me
but a few leagues off the shore, I bit a flashing lure
and I assure you, it was not what it expected it to be!
I still taste its kiss, that dull hook in my lip
is a memory as useless as a rod without a reel
to an anchor-ever-dropped-seasick-yet-still-docked captain spotted napping with his first mate at the wheel floating forgetfully along, with no need to be strong. we keep our confessions long and when we pray we keep it short
I drank a thimbleful of fire and I'm not ever going back

Oh, my G-d!

"I do not exist," we faithfully insist
while watching sink the heavy ship of everything we knew
if ever you come near I'll hold up high a mirror
Lord, I could never show you anything as beautiful as you

Nothing Ends That Was Already Over

There was not they
It was only us
There was no I
Only we existed

We were young
Life smiled on us
Endless with optimism
When it did not
We cared not

Until we grew tired
When who we were
Stopped to rest
And never got up

What we became
Continued without us
Eventually becoming lost
And there was not even us

Less and less there was we
Until we no longer existed
Simply they
But it was only I

An I for an I
And I alone
Will bear the weight
Of the damages done
