Tricky : Hell Is 'Round the Corner

I stand firm for our soil
lick a rock on foil
Say reduce me, seduce me,
Dress me up as Tootsie in Stussey.
Hell is round the corner where I shelter.
Ism's and schisms, we're living Helter Skelter been livin' on a study
If you believe and deceive common sense says shouldn't receive
Let me take you down the corridors of my life.
And when you walk, do you walk to your preference?
No need to answer till I take further evidence.
I seem to need a reference to get residence.
A reference to your preference to say,
I'm a good neighbor, I trudge,
So judge me for labor,
live version of the song. The bond on me ensures my good
behavior
The constant strum insures my insanity.
Passing the ignorance ensures the struggle for my family
We're hungry beware of our appetite.
Distant drums bring the news of a kill tonight.
The kill which I share with my passengers.
We take our fill, take our fill, take our fill.

I stand firm for our soil
lick a rock on foil
Say reduce me, seduce me,
Dress me up as Tootsie in Stussey.
Confused by different memories,
Details of Asian remedies
Conversations, of what's become of enemies.
My brain thinks bomb-like,
So I listen he's a calm type.
And as I grow, I grow collective.
Before the move sit on the perspective.
Mr. Quaye Mr. Kray lay in the crevice. Distant cradle in the crevice
And watches from the precipice.
imperial passage.
Heat from the sun some days slowly passes,
Until then, you have to live with yourself.
Until then, you have to live with yourself.

Justin Vernon - Bruised Orange

My heart's in the ice house come hill or come valley
Like a long ago Sunday when I walked through the alley
On a cold winter's morning to a church house
Just to shovel some snow.

I heard sirens on the train track howl naked gettin' nuder,
An altar boy's been hit by a local commuter
Just from walking with his back turned
To the train that was coming so slow.

You can gaze out the window get mad and get madder,
Throw your hands in the air, say "what does it matter?"
But it don't do no good to get angry,
So help me I know

For a heart strained in anger grows weak and grows bitter.
You become your own prisoner as you watch yourself sit there
Wrapped up in a trap of your very own
Chain of sorrow.

I been brought down to zero, pulled out and put back there.
I sat on a park bench, kissed the girl with the black hair
And my head shouted down to my heart
"You better look out below!"

Hey, it ain't such a long drop don't stammer don't stutter
From the diamonds in the sidewalk to the dirt in the gutter

And you carry those bruises to remind you wherever you go.

You can gaze out the window get mad and get madder,
Throw your hands in the air, say "what does it matter?"
But it don't do no good to get angry,
So help me I know

For a heart strained in anger grows weak and grows bitter.
You become your own prisoner as you watch yourself sit there
Wrapped up in a trap of your very own
Chain of sorrow

The Midnight -- Sunset

Faked our deaths
Lit a match
Closed the door
Waited for the flash
Greyhound Station, we paid in cash
Miss Lazarus, we?re coming back

They say it's darkest before the dawn
We've been in this town for far too long
They say it's darkest before the dawn
We're moving on, we're moving on, we're moving

Sunset, no regrets
First chance last dance
Stuck in the middle
Even bad girls know good love
You taste so sweet it hurts a little

Make our home where we stand
One suitcase
And half a plan
Follow the wolves
And sing along
Past the voices
To the Song

They say it's darkest before the dawn
We've been in this town for far too long
They say it's darkest before the dawn
We're moving on, we're moving on, we're moving

Sunsets, no regrets
First chance, last dance, stuck in the middle
Even bad girls know good love
You taste so sweet it hurts a little

Sunsets, no regrets
First chance, last dance, stuck in the middle
Even bad girls know good love
You taste so sweet it hurts a little

Until the Ribbon Breaks : Pressure

I've been knee-deep in trouble, trying to stay afloat
Pressure, pressure, noose 'round the throat
Quick storm comin', you better stay indoors
Secrets, secrets, buried in the floor
Oh baby wants a new life, that's what she might get
Pressure, pressure, a noose 'round my neck
Send me down a rope, lost out to sea
Trouble now coming, coming for me

Maybe in another life, if we get another life
Maybe in that life, I could learn to love you
Maybe in another time, if there is another time
Maybe in that time, I could learn to love you

There's a riot in the town, a wolf at the door
Pressure, pressure, poison at the core
Quick storm coming, God save the queen
Wake up from your dreams
There's a riot in the town, smoke in your lungs
Pressure, pressure, blocking out the sun
Send me down a rope, lost out to sea
Trouble now coming, coming for me

Maybe in another life, if we get another life
Maybe in that life, I could learn to love you
Maybe in another time, if there is another time
Maybe in that time, I could learn to love you

(Feels so good)

Maybe in another life, if we get another life
Maybe in that life, I could learn to love you
Maybe in another time, if there is another time
Maybe in that time, I could learn to love you

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers : Runnin' Down a Dream

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway
I was flyin'

Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

I felt so good like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine

Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

( RIP Tom Petty. You were a man, a myth, and a true born legend. )

Zack Hemsey : Nice To Meet Me


i

A sky red from the blood
Rose cheeks dull from the mud
Hands worn through from the sludge
A self no longer begrudged
And murder is a potion of love
Sacrifice devotion thereof
And he without sin never was
Now a changing of the guard has begun
A kingdom that belies the internal
Is a prison of the mind that's infernal
And eternal is the lie turned plague
So I've dug this grave so my truth won't fade
I feel the war paint on my face
I feel the ground tremble and quake
I feel my heart sync to the pace that these war drums make
I feel alive and awake
And all I see is war path ahead of me
Each and every step I welcome readily
And if my lack of fear bring the death of me
Let the spirits of my ancestors envelop me
So know this is that armageddon coming
A flood that goes beyond the refuge high upon the summit
A sun become hole, black hold on consumption
Spun inside itself into a beacon that has summoned
That creature of the deep that leaves a pit inside your stomach
That rumbling beneath that bodes arrival from above, and
That nature of the beast that feeds upon the will to numb it
That monster brought the seed of life, well now I have become it

And I feel like I've got a gun
Like I've been changed more ways than one
And this whole world has just begun
And it's so nice to meet me
And I feel like I've got a gun
Like I've been changed more ways than one
And this whole world has just begun
And it's so nice to meet me

ii

A self once masked by these stains
That filth washed out with the rain
When I'm done only thing that remains
Is a tombstone etched with my name
Look into a face that has changed
Recognize the corpse in that grave
Resurrect, what's lost can be saved
I am now free, once slave
And I am not a part of a game
I am not a moth to a flame
I am both man and brigade
I won't be denied or restrained
I am what the weak can't obtain
I am what survives if it's slain
I am rest in peace if you aim
No I am not built of the same

And I feel like I've got a gun
Like I've been changed more ways than one
And this whole world has just begun
And it's so nice to meet me
And I feel like I've got a gun
Like I've been changed more ways than one
And this whole world has just begun
And it's so nice to meet me

iii

Behold a pale horse in my gaze
High upon it Death in a rage
He said he had the truth that I crave
Then my sword through his chest I gave
Ain't no one command I behave
Never put my faith in plans best laid
And I don't follow rules that you made
I think it's time I set this whole bitch ablaze
On the precipice of slaughter is the Lord
Angels and they demons come together with a cause
And I don't think you really know the meaning of a storm
Let this serve a lesson on the essence of reform
Hatred without focus make the eager man fall
Violence without purpose make the mighty man small
Vengeance without mercy leave the noble man flawed
And insurrection mounts behind those battle lines drawn
But future is beholden to the present moment cast
And prudence don't repeat the futile habits of the past
And courage is to he that sheds his skeletons as last
These trains of thought now heading toward a devastating crash
Bloodshed to that order like a flower to a thorn
Beauty know perfection like a child know the law
And I advise you heed these words enlightened and forewarned
Truth in what you are an oath of life to which I've sworn

And I feel like I've got a gun
Like I've been changed more ways than one
And this whole world has just begun
And it's so nice to meet me
And I feel like I've got a gun
Like I've been changed more ways than one
And this whole world has just begun
And it's so nice to meet me

Imagine Dragons : Friction

Get down with the victim
We both know you need them
You’re stuck in the middle
Of all irrelevance
And your heart is beating
'Cause you know that you gotta
Get out of the middle
And rise to the top now

When you’ve made it
Won’t ya tell me what to do
'Cause I’m playin' it all wrong
When you made it, when you made it
Won’t ya tell me what to do
'Cause I’m playin' it all wrong

You can’t fight the friction
So ease it off
Can’t take the pressure
So ease it off
Don’t tell me to be strong
Ease it off
You can’t fight the friction
So ease it off

And get into the system
We both know you need one
The tip of the needle
Is taking over you
And your heart is beating

'Cause you know that you gotta
Get out of the middle
And rise to the top now

When you’ve made it
Won’t ya…

††† (Crosses) : B*tches Brew

As the moon ascends
The wolves come out to see the end
They hide from view and wait
To watch the ghost inside you come awake
And when the shots go off, you hear them call
My heart is racing just to see it all
To watch you crawl out of your changing shape
Take all your breath and watch it come awake

From the flames of the fire,
I feel you crawling to my bed
Throwing shapes at the sky,
I watch you crying to me

With your knees open
I display you, taunt the beast again
'Cause when you move and shake
That thing inside you comes awake
As you dance against the breathing wall
My claws are out, I want to feel it all
Feel it crawl inside you, changing shape
Take out your breath and feel you come awake

From the flames of the fire,
I feel you crawling to my bed
Throwing shapes at the sky,
I watch you crying to me

Say something, pray for something
Say something, pray to something
Say something, pray to something
Say something, pray to something
Say...

(From the flames of the fire
I watch you crawling to me)

From the flames of the fire,
I feel you crawling to my bed
Throwing shapes at the sky,
I watch you crying to me

SAY SOMETHING! PRAY FOR SOMETHING!
SAY SOMETHING! PRAY TO SOMETHING!
