Hold Still

Had trouble sleeping last night because of my shoulder. It’s better now. Went out to the bar with Scott for three hours since I was bored and he was going there because his company was meeting with a representative from Taiwan. I was mostly bored and didn’t have anything to add to the conversation, but it was somewhat interesting. I don’t regret going, I would have just played video games otherwise. Didn’t drink, still in cheap bastard mode.

Nothing has changed in a day. Concerning anything I’ve been talking about lately. What’s on the consensus for Sunday…try to wake up at 6, reformat computer and put XP back on instead of buggy-ass pirated Windows 7, practice bass, find some music creation programs to get into, maybe write site articles. Probably a lot of doing nothing/playing video games.

Now for the ipod quiz thing. 20 lyrics from 20 random songs off my playlist. Guess them and win…absolutely nothing! No searching, just use your brainmeats! It ended up hitting the same genre of music…oh well. Also, I skipped instrumentals and stuff I’ve never really listened to, and also cover songs, since it was from my whole library and not just my ipod.

1) Because life is so brief
And time is a thief, when you’re undecided
Like a fistful of sand
It can slip right through your hands
 

2) A victim
He didn’t defeat them
He’s obligated, and terminated
Calling this a day at twenty-two
Quit existence at the proper cue
The heartless wish that there were more like you
Better forfeit all your goals, you’re through

3) I can hear when the pig whispers sweetly
Jealousy is the weapon, you kill me
Keep a dime for a truth you might tell
You towed the line and I know it was mine
Couldn’t hide, ride a wave, write a lie
Let me know, can a friend ask you why?

4) When you lay down late at night 
I’m the siren you can’t fight 
I know you don’t stand a chance 
There is nothing you can do 
Once I put my spell on you 

5) It’s alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin’ low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I’ve sold
 
6) I’ve got a welt
From the bible belt
Dealing with the hand
That I’ve been dealt
Sitting in the grip
Of a killing fist
Giving up blood
Just to exist
 
7) Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red
One hundred plus through black and white
War horse, warhead
Fuck ’em man, white knuckle tight
Through black and white
 
8) Cast the pearls aside of a simple life of need
Come into my life forever
The crumbled cities stand as known
Of the sights that you have been shown
Of the hurt you call your own
 
9) Well, me… it’s nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia
Some day you too will know my pain
And smile its blacktooth grin
If the war inside my head
Won’t take a day off I’ll be dead
My icy fingers claw your back
Here I come again
 
10) Blown away by fame 
we could all feel the shotgun hit the floor
Nevermind in faith if you cant believe
 
11) Pass the mansions by
Look right through the needles eye, oh my
I got a stereo
You just gotta turn the knob, and baby we’ll go
As far as we can, I’ll be your garbage man
 
12) First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect
Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
 
13) So that’s right dude, meet me at the bleachers
No principals, no student-teachers
Both of us wanna be the winner, but there can only be one
So I’m gonna fight, gonna give it my all
Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you
That’s right, I’m the last one standing, and another one bites the dust
 
14) Cops on the corner always ignore
Somebody’s getting paid
Jimmy’s got it wired, law’s for hire
Got it made in the shade
Got a little hideaway, does business all day
But at night he’ll always be found
Sellin’ sugar to the sweet
People on the street
Call this Jimmy’s town
 
15) We’re flying high
We’re watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground
 
16) There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I’ve done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing 
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication
 
17) (Hey man) Ah Henry, don’t be unkind, go away
(Hey man) I can’t take you this time, no way
(Hey man) Droogie don’t crash here
There’s only room for one and here she comes, here she comes
 
18) Get back on track, pick me ups and bottles of booze 
A fickle freshman, probably thinks he’s cooler than you 
A hay ride, a fire, everybody’s coming around 
So go press your skirt, ’cause word is there’s a new girl in town 
 
19) So many wasted promises rhapsodised
So many wasted Sundays trying to avoid the fire
I’ve seen the twisted ways
They push the guilt inside, and made you believe you have to try
To suffer live and die their way
 
20) Maybe there’s more to life than it seems 
Constantly running from reality, chasing dreams 
Wanna know somethin’ I can’t believe 
Just how much misery comes with humility
