Something Says- by: unknown forgotten

Where are we going?
We are afraid of our concious
Even more so our subconcious
We break easily
We're strong hearted weak souls
Weak minds that break under pressure

We are alive
Why don't we live it?
We are able bodied
Why do we always quit?

Goodbye to the person I'll never know
Goodbye to myself also
Chances are we'll never meet again
That's the sound of me hearing music
Hearing music as it isn't being played
I'm hearing different rythms and different notes
That's the sound of me inventing

Scatter Brain- by: unknown

I couldn't remember the last time I was sane.
I don't remember if I had a clear brain.
I forget how to control this scatter brain.

A Story About A Kid And A Wolf- by: unknown forgotten

Ears grow back, right?
Like taste buds fade away
Cheese grows mold, right?
Like that story about a kid and a wolf

Like that story about that kid
Who told that story about a wolf
Who ate the ears of the townsfolks
He'd sneak up and rip them off
Tear them if they didn't come right off
Chew them if the texture was right
And sometimes eat the whole persons head if they didn't come off at all

But the ears kept growing back
The white witch had enchanted the town
A curse that would always make the ears grow again
But the story was about the boy
Who told the story about the wolf

The boy stayed in a locked basement day and night
He stayed there and never came out
He was afraid of the wolf and his ear eating habit
But the boy himself lived on old cheese that grew mold incessantly

He would talk to the mice who dwelled in the basement too
They listened, or so he thought, but it was dark
So he had no way to see
He told them the story of the wolf who ate the ears
And the witch that made the ears never stop growing
There are dreams
There are dreams
There are dreams during slumber
There are dreams when we're awake
There are dreams for the future
There are dreams from the haunting past
There are dreams full of strangers
There are dreams with people we know
There are dreams with people we love
There are dreams that don't make sense
There are dreams that fill us with fear
There are dreams that make us think about it
There are dreams that make us want to cry
There are dreams that make us feel lonely
There are dreams that make us feel powerful and strong
And there are dreams with people we love
There are dreams that make us wiser
There are dreams that confuse us the rest of our lives
There are dreams that we never ever forget
There are dreams we remember several days later
And there are dreams with people we love
And there are dreams of love
There are dreams
I am sorry for you.
I shouldn't be.

The Run Around- by: unknown forgotten

Keep running around me
And I might not notice you're there
Go fast, tell me you're going left when you're going right
Just stay behind my back
So I can't see what you're doing
Cause if I'm gonna get the run around
Then I'd rather you stay where my eyes don't go
And I can pretend I never knew at all
I'll forget anybody else was ever here
Keep running around me
Faster, I can still see you there
Turn into a blur
So I can blur my mind
Stay behind my back
So I won't notice you're there
Cause if I'm gonna get the run around
I would appreciate a favor
If you didn't make it so obvious
Running around where I can see
The Return- by: unknown forgotten

It was a damp gray day when he returned
The people were silent and waiting in fear
Not sure what was actually coming

He walked back into town alone
The dust rose earily under each step
The world was silent, the animals were scared
His hair swayed softly though you could feel no breeze

It had been years since he came around...






The children had heard rumors
About why he left so long ago
But nobody really knew the truth anymore
Most didn't want to remember

Some of the people wanted to run and greet him lovingly
Others were clench jawed and clench fisted
Their hands waiting by their 6 shooter
But no one moved, no one made a sound

He walked through town
His eyes were clear, but unreadable
He peered into those he recognized
He looked into those who'd only heard about him

He looked different. Maybe taller? Could he be a changed man?





What was going through his mind at that moment must have been amazing
Did he remember what had happened?
If he couldn't maybe no one could
It's strange the way people forget so easily

Was he expecting the people to react?
Was he just passing through?
Was he coming back for a reason?
Was he back to stay for good?


Then he stopped in the middle of the town
Everyone was out and silent
He slowly turned around and took a slow look
Just then a hawk circled slowly over head

No one knew what was going to happen next...
The Best Things- by: unknown forgotten

Why?
Because it's cool
Yes
That's what we'll do
Rock
This world won't know what to do
We'll rock
Yes
That's what we'll do
Hello Dearest Love- by: The Appleseed Cast

welcome home
her eyes know
mistakes you've made
the plans you laid

your love, it means so much
a simple ring, your fingers touch
break away, break away
your smile , your face,light shines through
burning truth, it is too soon to ignore

but she's not here
standing clear
in front of you
it's just a dream

times up, she's gone away
you had your time, but it won't stay
not this time, not this time
soon enough, you'll kill them all
every chance to break your fall
you're giving in

but she's the one
bright as the sun
stops you there
right on the stairs
and falling back
when stars are black
and stripes on fire
Sinking- by: The Appleseed Cast

I get the feeling that I'm sinking in you
Your hands go through me as I'm trying to
Think back on a better time
Like watching water in a rising tide...

You don't know me right now
You think that I was a man wanting to drown
Shaking words in my face
Pointing to all other things
That I won't wont resist
Pulling out my heart
And pulling one more drink to keep it calm

Cause I think I've worked for free
And this is all I can take
To keep going on
And going on
Going on

Whilst I Slumber I Am OKay- by: unknown forgotten

Can you hear me sleeping?
My chest moves slowly up and down
My heart is big and beats audibly
The stereo is on and playing love songs
And I dream

You're always in my dreams
All of you out there
Especially you
I live my nights in dreams awake
And it feels as if I never slept a wink

As far as I can tell
This reality is a dream
And my dreams are reality exposed
I can only hope
I can only hope

My Mind is Broken- by: unknown forgotten

I stand no chance
I have no stance
I dreamt it all
Nothing I thought was real
Life is a bitch
I've lost it all to another
I never put up a fight
So often I give up and lose

I dare you, everyone
To look behind these black eyes
I can stare you down
These eyes never go dry
Nor blink nor distraction
No one will ever see through
It's not that I don't want them too
I surely do
It's that I don't know how to shed the tears
That clean these black eyes and make them clear

Fighting Gravity- by: Brandtson

I talk to you all the time
the world thinks i'm crazy as crazy is
and i don't feel much different
fluorescent lights hum their incessant anthem
everything i believe and everything that holds me together at the seams
seems so far away from here
and we're all wondering where're we going?

and i wish my colors weren't so faded
i wish i didn't feel so cold
everyone's so slow and jaded
falling asleep to this midwestern drone

i feel like running everyday
away from this life that i've made
built to last a little too long
feeling trapped under my own weight
too heavy now to stand let alone fly
and i'm always watching the sky with jealous eyes

wish i'd finally fall apart
do something desperate to change things
changed my mind again just when i was getting brave
changed my mind again just when i was getting brave

somewhere over this city
high above the red brick chimneys
i know we can escape all this
it feels like fighting gravity
and where're we going?

and i wish my colors weren't so faded
i wish that i didn't feel so cold
and everyone's so slow and jaded
falling asleep to this midwestern drone

The Escape- by: unknown forgotten

Is it really 'anyway'?
It's nothing it's fine it's okay
I can not be affected by such trivial things
Is it really that nonchalant?
I'll keep telling myself that so it won't hurt
But should it even hurt at all?
Alright I'm good everything is fine
Couldn't be better
Now how often do we tell that lie
Anyway
To toss it off as nothing else
It's nothing it doesn't hurt I'll be alright
But we forget its meaning and intent
I'm tired I'm sick I didn't eat
I was up late I drank too much I have to get up early I need to sleep
Until next time goodbye see you later peace
I'll be sitting in my room listening to the stereo and tapping to the beats
Long after you've gone home and gone to sleep
But anyway
It's okay its fine doesn't matter to me
Whatever you want to do it's cool we'll see
See you later good to see you for a moment nice talking to you
Anyway
I've got to get going I've got someplace else to be
I've got to escape courteously
Anyway- by: unknown forgotten

I have something to ask you
There's something I want you to know
That I wanted to tell you
Let's take a seat over here
No, it's nothing bad, not at all
I've had only one thing on my mind lately
Ever since I had a dream in the past weeks
How's your coffee? Hot? Yeah, mine too
Anyway, I don't know what you're going to say
Or how you might respond
Just take it to heart
It's just that I've been thinking...
There's always tomorrow
And the day after
And next week
Months
Years
That's a long time.
Weary- by: unknown forgotten

Sometimes I get tired of living
And that's why I self destruct
Sometimes I get tired of destruction
And that's why I am often reluctant
Sometimes I get tired of it all
And that's why I need you

Renegade- by: unknown forgotten

They'll all regret the day I ride back into town
With a baseball bat, and a switchblade knife
I can't remember their names but I know their faces
I'll hunt them down like dogs and teach them all a lesson
I've got unfinished business in that city in the country
One day out of the wide fucking blue I'll roll up on two wheels
And break the knees of anyone who stands in my way
I own that town more than the worthless who live there
I'll show them what is right and what is wrong with a fist and a broken jaw
Neither friend nor foe will stay free of my wrath
That city owes me more than I could ever be paid in full
No mercy, no forgiveness at all
Just a brutal beating and a smirk comment on my part to top it off
My hog will be my iron horse
My cunning will be my advance
The day they forget my face will be the day I return and take their life


I; Some - by: unknown forgotten

I feel light as a feather
Some things couldn't be worse
Some couldn't be going any better

I took the world off my shoulders
Some time ago
Some burdens needn't be bothered

I wrestled my world in my dreams
Some things were defeated, deleted
Some things were made clearer than ever before

The Toil and Froth- by: unknown forgotten

Look where you're standing now
There was once someone buried there
So raise up your arms
And pray forgiveness for you desecration
This is no time for joking around
There was a curse upon this place

When the proper time comes and you find me dead
I'll be lying face down with my arms crossed under my chest
monuments and words- by: unknown forgotten

the second hand can change
it was never the right story in the first place
this life can fade
into stories never told

The Place That God Forgot- by: unknown forgotten

Look beyond the sky
Out through the atmosphere
That's where god lives
Beyond all the clouds and the stars

But over to the right a little
There's a place that god forgot
And that's where I want to make my home
When the end of the world comes

It's a void for me to fill, as such is my life
For when the end of the world comes
I want to keep on living
And that is where I'll do it

You can come with if you'd like.
Most Of Us Can Agree- by: unknown forgotten

Don't tell me that I am free
Don't tell me that I am free
'Cause I have not been well
Lately...

The Future- by: unknown forgotten

Neither
Nor rain
Nor shine
Until the devil's sky
When the rocks unearth themselves
And the creatures sleeping beneath the ground awaken for the first time

Once Again- by: unknown forgotten


The best part is
I could be funny
Funny as cancerous dogs
Bleeding out their ass
It's funny, laugh laugh laugh
No matter how hard I try I'm shot down
Down down, you keep knocking me down

The favor is for the weak
I can not compete
This angel with the scent of sweet
She divides my heart
From strong to devastatingly weak

I'm the roamer with the skin burned hard
I've seen more than I should have in these days of young
But no one believes I am still young and fragile at heart
I ridicule all I love

Wrong, wrong
I am insecure with all I really care about
This Silver Mountain upon which I climb
I can only hope from God
Leads me to the right place
And yours and mine own singular peace of mind

Live on, live on.
Jesus Christ.

There was a man I once knew well
Jeremy
And another girl
I don't think she knows,
Despite their knowledge
They have once again helped me become a little more alive
Even though they are far
In the backyard fields- by: unknown forgotten

Down another for the weak
I ain't telling
The wind'er shows that there moon shining real bright
I says, I says: "Look'er there. That is beeeutiful."
We was watching our programs after hours
We done worked a hard day
And we deserved our reward
I says: "I done had enough er these shows,
let's get outside and watch the stars."
And we did.
An Ode to The Salted Gods- by: unknown forgotten

Salt in my belly and heart
Clogging my mind and arteries
Making me complete
The Salted Gods are my haven
They keep me safe when my food is flavorless and bland
The Salted Gods have saved me at my lowest point
Guiding me to the sunlight's reflection off the mineral of white
In my weakest hour I have almost succumb to the Devils of Pepper
But I have prevailed to the flavor that will forever entice

The Salted Gods look over me
And protect me from all that is false
For without, I would have a mineral deficiency
And most likely have died that night
Thank you Salted Gods
In you golden brazen 'shaker' altar forms
Always where I need you when I can't taste my food at all
Those eggs and hashbrowns would have been my demise.

It's crazy when people freak out
Look, somebody finally had something to say: A comment.
And another.

That rules.
Stagnant- by: unknown forgotten

Nothing suprises me anymore.
I have seen it all coming
and so everything is
Suprise me lifeless people
I can not suprise myself
Wake up and watch the moon turn
Wake up and let's go outside
Do something I can't predict
The Old Man in the Picture- by: unknown forgotten

I guess I'm doing fine
you know...
but not really and all
but well enough to keep moving

My excitement is shot down
And I watched a spider eat a fly
My oh my
I marvel at the wonder of a found note on the ground
I guess I'm doing alright

Like the old man in the picture
He describes my soul
I've got lots of time to live my life
But I'm feeling old
My bones feel cold
But for now I guess I'm doing alright

Tuesday, April 06, 2004

I try and listen to music that reminds me of love... so I never forget.
I've never been able to figure out what the world wants from me.
Let alone the people that live on it.
Estranged- by: unknown forgotten

Hell.
I've ridden these roads.
I've walked these paths.
I've climbed these hills.
And I've fallen off cliffs.
I've run the hardest mile.
I've worked harder than anyone will ever believe.
Hell.
Still no one believes and no one understands.
Keep doubting my motives,
Truly, not a single soul on earth could be more wrong
And that's what makes me so afraid.

Phoenix- by: unknown forgotten

The bird cage was on the floor
Broken and mangled
It's metal wires twisted and bent
The latch door hung open facing the window
The window was shattered
Glass was strewn across the floor
The wind and fresh air blew gently through
The tree outside the window was full of life and song
Full of birds living freely in the outside and open air
The broken cage lay alone inside
It represented everything about being sad
I picked up the broken glass and it cut my bare hands
I climbed the tree and the birds took to flight
I jumped from the branch and where I landed represents my life this day
I stared into the sun and watched the birds disappear
Like a phoenix one of them swooped back
And just for a moment looked me in the eyes
I'd vomit before I told you what I was thinking.
Why? Because. No reason.

reply.

There Is Still Life- by: unknown forgotten

And the candle burns slowly away
All through the hours of my slumber
But when I awake in the morning
The flame is still glowing
And it's light fills my eyes
And it reminds me I'm still alive

Answering Machine- by: unknown forgotten

An invisible pigeon
Backyard swimming pool
Headphones while you sleep
Going to the dentist
Recycling bins
A 1978 Buick
Something about a guy named Rick
8 staplers
A squeaky door
$12.87
Road maintenance in front of the house
An early sunset
And the hum of a fluorescent light bulb
You won't believe it, I saw an invisible pigeon today.
