Distance balance - SotW [Week of 10-30-11]

Round two was total knockout by touchdown. I did not love lying to your face while you lied to mine, and we had nothing left to protect. I cannot even say I will listen next time when they say, don't go. It worked, then it didn't. Maybe I'll get it, but not with you.

By and By Brett Dennen

Listen close, as close as I am to you
Like the bell of liberty, I'll ring a sound that's true
And days go by and seasons too
In time our love may digress with the words we can renew

Oh, I'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
Without a friend like you in my life

And I know words can be the worst to purvey
How it is I feel for you, it's hard for me to say
But if we keep it simple, I think it's better that way
Tangled words tend to lead my messages astray

Oh, I'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
Without a friend like you in my life

This web we weave
Holds us hand in hand
And if we loosen our grips
We may weaken these strands
So let's reinforce our love and let it echo through the land
And if we don't we may find ourselves washed up with the sand

Oh, I'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
Without a friend like you in my life

Here tis.

Those are motions - SotW [Week of 10-23-11]

That is fortune telling. Telling me that I have to get ahead before I can quit. When I speak in lyrics and hope you will catch them, I forget to ask what was intended to be told. Later on, that'll make me dance again.

'Till I Collapse Eminem ft. Nate Dogg

'Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.

Till I collapse I’m spilling these raps long as you feel 'em
Till the day that I drop you'll never say that I'm not killing them
'Cause when I am not then I'ma stop penning 'em
And I am not hip-hop and I’m just not Eminem.
Subliminal thoughts when I'm stop sending them women are caught in webs spin and hauk venom
Adrenaline shots of penicillin could not get the illing to stop.
Amoxacilin is just not real enough.
The criminal cop killing hip-hop filling minimal swap to cop millions of Pac listeners.
Your coming with me, feel it or not you’re gonna fear it like I showed you the spirit of god lives in us.
You hear it a lot, lyrics the shock is it a miracle or am I just a product of pop fizzing up.
For shizzle my whizzle this is the plot listen up you bizzles forgot slizzle does not give a fuck.

Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out and my high burn out
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.

Music is like magic there’s a certain feeling you get when you're real
And you spit and people are feeling your shit.
This is your moment and every single minute you spend trying to hold onto it
'cause you may never get it again.
So while you’re in it try to get as much shit as you can
And when your run is over just admit when it's at its end.
'Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half this shit that gets in.
I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in.
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me.
But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy, so when I’m not put on this list the shit does not offend me.
That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me.
Even though half you people got a fucking problem with me.
You hate it but you know respect you’ve got to give me
The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney. Nate hit me.

Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out and my high burn out
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.

Soon as a verse starts I eat it at MC’s heart
What is he thinking? How not to go against me? Smart.
And it's absurd how people hang on every word.
I’ll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve
But I’ll never be served my spot is forever reserved
If I ever leave earth that would be the death of me first.
'Cause in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse.
That’s why I’m clever when I put together every verse
My thoughts are sporadic, I act like I’m an addict
I rap like I’m addicted to smack like I’m Kim Mathers.
But I don’t want to go forth and back in constant battles
The fact is I would rather sit back and bomb some rappers.
So this is like a full blown attack I’m launching at them
The track is on some battling raps who want some static
'Cause I don’t really think that the fact that I’m Slim matters
A plaque of platinum status is whack if I'm not the baddest.

Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out and my high burn out
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.

Until the roof
The roof comes off
Until my legs
Give out from underneath me

I will not fall,
I will stand tall,
Feels like no one could beat me.

Serpentine Chris Bathgate

My lungs stone and my days all serpentine
The tight tightness in my chest rest and subsides
In one dull dawn with a hum that split its length
Does my name sting your tongue now does it babe


Your thin frame has set my eyes to fray
On our dim stretch of this street, how it aches
For every gray and sad hemmed heart to coil
And our frail eyes and their whites to finally toll


Now one brash phrase could crush this fragile day
As my thoughts swirl in some shrill sad cannonade
The one such spur that caused my throat to creak
The one dull dawn I’ve sentenced to repeat

Holla! Video.

Good Buddy - SotW [Week of 10-2-11]

Oh My God Kassidy

Hanging on the sunny afternoon
Living on is all I want to do
People watching what am I to do
Waking up can never come too soon
When I put these stars to rest
I know that I can worry less
It seems that its just something I can’t do


So oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, I spend time with you
Hanging is as hanging does
You know I can't stop crying


And hanging on the sunny afternoon,
Nightmares into daydreams if I could
Listen to the thoughts I won't refuse
And hoping it will do my heart some good
When I put these stars to rest
I know that I can worry less,
It seems that its just something I can’t do


So oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, I spend time with you
Hanging is as hanging does
You know I cant stop crying


Standing on my own, I know I got to let it go
Standing on my own, I know I got to let it go
Standing on my own, I know I got to let it go
Let it go


So, oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, I spend time with you
Hanging is as hanging does
You know I can't stop crying
Hanging is as hanging does
You know I can't stop crying

Watch it. Duh.

Bills on my mindset

Higher than my income
Income's breadcrumbs

The glow that the sun gets
Right around sunset
Helps me realize
This is just a journey
Drop your worries
You are gonna turn out fine.
Oh, you'll turn out fine.
Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.

I've got my hands in my pockets,
Kickin these rocks.
Its kinda hard to watch this life go by.
I'm buyin in the skeptics,
Skeptics mess with, the confidence in my eyes

I'm seeing all the angles, starts to get tangled
I start to comprimise
My life and the purpose.
Is it all worth it,
Am I gonna turn out fine?

Oh, you'll turn out fine.
Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.

The sun will always come again.
And its a circle, circling,
Around again, it comes around again.

The Ocean Barefoot Truth

I never thought that I would make amends with the ocean
But as we left the shores my eyes began to tear
Why had it always caused me unelusive feelings?
Why had it always left me fear?
Truth is my thoughts that had me sinkin' to the bottom
Driftin' like a bottle through the sea without a sound
And when I finally washed up to your sandy shorebed
The message in the bottle had no writing to be found

Well this is my paradise
This is all I really need
And I can't live without this feeling
Of the ocean around me, yeah

Waves crashin' on the shore sunrise the water's sparkling
Warm sand between my toes diggin' in there's so much comfort
I'm not knowin' where it ends or if it keeps on going
An entire world beneath my body as I float, yeah

This is my paradise
This is all I really need
And I can't live without this feeling
Of the ocean around me, yeah

This is my paradise
This is all I really need
And I can't live without this feeling
Of the ocean around me, yeah

Every now and then
I sit and I think about this life
And I say "yeah, how could anyone want more?"
I got the notion put your body in motion
Come on now we'll take a ride on the ocean
There's a lot of candy in this store

Every now and then
I sit and I think about this life
And I say "yeah, how could anyone want more?"
I got the notion put your body in motion
Come on now we'll float away on the ocean
There's a lot of candy in this store

Every now and then
I sit and I think about this life
And I say "yeah, how could anyone want more?"
I got the notion put your body in motion
Come on now I gotta stay on the ocean
There's a lot of candy in this store

Blood in my veins, breath in my lungs

Her heart beating so fast cause I'm taking my time

Mad World    Gary Jules w/ Michael Andrews (originally by Tears for Fears)

All around me are familiar faces,

Worn out places, worn out faces.

Bright and early for the daily races,

Going nowhere, going nowhere.

Their tears are filling up their glasses,

No expression, no expression.

Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow,

No tomorrow, No tomorrow.

And I find it kind of funny,

I find it kind of sad.

The dreams in which I'm dying,

Are the best I've ever had.

I find it hard to tell you,

I find it hard to take,

When people run in circles it's a very, very,

Mad world.

Mad world.

Children waiting for the day they feel good,

Happy birthday, happy birthday.

And I feel the way that every child should,

Sit and listen, sit and listen.

Went to school and I was very nervous,

No one knew me, no one knew me.

Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson?

Look right through me, look right through me.

And I find it kind of funny,

I find it kind of sad.

The dreams in which I'm dying,

Are the best I've ever had.

I find it hard to tell you,

I find it hard to take,

When people run in circles it's a very, very,

Mad world.

Mad world.

Enlarging your world.

Mad world.

Ain't Missing You  If Birds Could Fly

I packed all my dreams in this old suitcase of mine,
and I made it two miles down the road from where I started to run,
and I threw that old suitcase over the heel,
and I stuck my thumb to the sky,
and I wished him well.

'Cause I ain't missing you.
No, I ain't missing you at all.

Quite frankly I've been thinkin' that maybe I should do a little more drinkin',
'Cause a man can't love without his shine,
I'm gonna drown these worries of mine.

'Cause I ain't missing you.
No, I ain't missing you at all.

And I would cry myself to sleep every night,
But baby I'm old, the tears are to your delight,
I wouldn't give you the satisfaction,
And I'm sure that I'm not the last one.

'Cause I ain't missing you.
No, I ain't missing you at all.

When you cannot stop your mind from sifting through old memories and from fabricating new ones -- been feeling that a lot lately. Right before I want to fall asleep, especially. Everything from really windy bridges in the city, and knowing I will never hold that hand again, to spending hours in open spaces, and not knowing if I should have ever been there.

Underbelly - SotW [Week of 7-31-11]

Put so much thought into all of this that once I start figuring it out (mostly what was known all along), someone else 'tells me so.' Timing is really a downer. Across the board. Diary entry, much?

SotW 7/31:

Ain't No Rest For The Wicked  Cage The Elephant

I was walking down the street,
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
She said "I've never seen a man
Who looks so all alone,
Could you use a little company?

If you can pay the right price
Your evening will be nice,
And you can go and send me on my way."
I said "You're such a sweet young thing
Why you do this to yourself?"
She looked at me and this is what she said:

"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good".

Not even fifteen minutes later
I'm still walking down the street,
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
And then he sweeps up from behind
And puts a gun up to my head,
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.

He said "Give me all you've got
I want your money not your life,
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."
I go like "You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?"

He said "There ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good".

Now a couple hours have passed
And I was sitting at my house,
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
So I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news,
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.

I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church,
He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills.
But even still I can't say much
Because I know we're all the same,
oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills

"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
We got bills to pay,
We got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know we can't slow down,
We can't hold back,
Though you know, we wish we could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,Until we close our eyes for good"

Mystery  Jimmy Gnecco

I want you
And I think you would know, by now, but how
When I don't say nothin' out loud
What a mystery
As I watched you walking out the door
You're a mystery
I let you down and now you're gone
I lost you
You ran like the ocean over my head
And I told you, that place in my soul was dead
You're a mystery
As I watched you walking out the door
What a mystery
I let you down and now you're gone
I wanted to tell you, but nothing came out
The time had run out
What a mystery
As I watched you walking out the door
You're a mystery
As I let you down and now you're gone

I used to have a lot of countdowns, until mostly everything broke. Went for awhile day to day, got surprised once in a blue moon. And now it's back to countdowns. That nervous feeling after drinking coffee. So good. Worth it, too.


SotW 7/10:

Video Games  Lana Del Rey

Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name

Open up a beer
And you take it over here
And play a video game

I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown

I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on

Go play a video game

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame

Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games

He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of

Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

(Now you do)

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

Don't Forget - SotW [Week of 7-3-11]

She's back!


SotW 7/3:

Beyoncé  I Was Here

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that
Meant something that I left behind
When I leave this world,
I'll leave no regrets
I'll leave something to remember,
So they won't forget

I was here...
I lived, I loved
I was here...
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here...

I want to say I lived each day,
Until I die
I know that I meant something in somebody's life
The hearts I have touched,
Will be the proof that I leave
That I made a difference
And this world will see
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/beyonce/i_was_here.html ]
I was here...
I lived, I loved
I was here...
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here...

I was here...
I lived, I loved
I was here...
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here...

I just want them to know
That I gave my all,
Did my best
Brought someone some happiness
Left this world a little better just because...

I was here...

I was here...
I lived, I loved
I was here...
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here...

Kitchen Sink - SotW [Week of 6-26-11]

Kinda like Bruno. It's cool to be slightly diff but definitely your own. Makes me wanna build a robot suit out of cardboard toooo.

SotW 6/26:

You Are Not A Robot Hoodie Allen

You've been acting awful tough lately 
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately 
But inside, you're just a little baby 

(Drop it)

It's okay to say you've got a weak spot (It's Hoodie Allen)
You don't always have to be on top (What up Marina)
Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you're not (You know how we do)

They telling me to take the safe route but this the detour
Hoodie baby you ain't seen a kid like this before
Late night shoe-in for the moon like Warren
Them hits come out soon as you hit record
Born in America, Chevy and Ford
But these Greek ladies lovin me they sayin' he's foreign
Floored em, glued The crowd down by their boot straps
Came up on the scene so quick you think we was a news cast
Well news flash: I can see through that
People try to hide what's on their mind like a do rag
Never would I do that I'm a real fuckin' hustler
You be in the background making noise like a muffler
But if it doesn't kill me it makes me tougher
And that's a message that I pass onto my brother
You never gonna really make a difference til you suffer
But we passed that now it's time to smash that, thunder

You've been acting awful tough lately 
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately 
But inside, you're just a little baby 
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot 
You don't always have to be on top 
Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you're not

Lately I've been staying on my grind like a skateboard
I've got some Rocket Power now so let's take off
We going hard over these beats y'all just stay soft
I don't even feel the need to say pause
Cause you would cheat to the system how you came and Bernie Madoff
I'm a firm believer that the hard work pays off
The playoffs, I treat them like Mora did
That means I'm working with a little to get more of it
And anybody who doubted us we ignoring it
I'm on a different mission
An exhibition no scoring it
So if we more legit they treat us like a compound
Yeah they wanna brake us down, never gonna stop now
Cause being scared will only eat you like a cop out
Life's a haunted house and I'm ready to pop out
And shout out to Marina for these pop sounds
I know you really love me but let's let this chorus drop now

You've been acting awful tough lately 
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately 
But inside, you're just a little baby 
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot 
You don't always have to be on top 
Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you're not

Say slow up, 
Sometimes I'm just feelin' like a robot
Sittin round, hopin that you'll show up
But you know what, you know what

Say slow up, 
Sometimes I'm just feelin' like a robot
Sittin round, hopin that you'll show up
But you know what, you know what

You've been acting awful tough lately 
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately 
But inside, you're just a little baby 
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot 
You don't always have to be on top 
Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you're not
