Hypoxic - SotW [Week of 8-21-11]

I have a mysterious bruise that showed up last week. And now it itches. Constant reminders are the only thing making it unbearable. Same old you, different name. Loving the lyrics that I can't forget. The broken new ones definitely remind me to hold the old ones close. Respect and resilience, at the top of my list.

SotW 8/21:

Finally Moving Pretty Lights

Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah.
Get a feeling that I never, never, never, never had before. Oh, no.
I get a good feeling, yeah.

Just want to tell ya right now,
I really do believe it.


Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah.
Get a feeling that I never, never, never, never had before. Oh, no.

Already on the rocks - SotW [Week of 8-14-11]

Should not have lied and told me I'm safe there. Definitely don't say it begins. Stayed because I felt like I had known you forever. Different? Not. I told myself so. And I tell myself so. Happens every time. Save as draft.

Because life is actually really amazing.

SotW 8/14:

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.

Cancel that - SotW [Week of 8-7-11]

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. The right time, or the next time.

The keys are ragged. And the words -  will never be kept.

SotW 8/7:

You and Me  SOJA feat. Chris Boomer

It's you and me, it's always been
And how I feel about you, there's no end
But you make me chase you around, all around
And then you need me there when you fall down, down
And when this dance is done,
You and me are still the only one
Well since our time begun
And I'm still with you even when your gone
When this dance is done,
You and me are still the only one
Well since our time begun
And I'm still with you even when your...

So I start it, and you stop it
I want it knowing that you're walking away
I start it, and you stop it
I want it knowing that you're walking away
I start it, and you stop it
I want it knowing that you're walking away
I start it, and you stop it
Ya-e ya-e yah-a

It's you and me, back again
Don't introduce me to all your new friends
Why do you make me chase you around?
Why do your words make me not make a sound, sound?
And when this dance is done,
You and me are still the only one
Yes since time begun
I'm still with you even when your gone
When this dance is done,
You and me are still the only one
Yes since time begun
I'm still with you even when your..

I start it, and you stop it
I want it knowing that you're walking away
I start it, and you stop it
I want it knowing that you're walking away
I start it, and you stop it
I want it knowing that you're walking away
I start it, and you stop it

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"

Killed it - SotW [Week of 7-24-11]

Only some people can pull off shirts ripped to shreds. And by pull off, I mean wear with vigor. Or maybe, please take it off now.

SotW 7/24:

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
