Brand New – Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis

With one or two I get used to the room
We go slow when we first make our moves
By five or six bring you out to the car
Number nine with my head on the bar
And it’s sad, but true
Out of cash and I.O.U’s

I got desperate desires and unadmirable plans
My tongue will taste of gin and malicious intent
Bring you back to the bar
Get you out of the cold
My sober, straight face gets you out of your clothes
And they’re scared that we know
All the crimes they’ll commit
Who they’ll kiss before they get home

I will lie awake
Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say

“Closure” by Chevelle

Breathe, trust, bless, me and release.
Climb, hard, or never be seen.
Closed off, rescue to breathe.
Just bless me.

Two sided time,
Your rebirth can’t hurt,
Branch out behind, the pain.

Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.
Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.

Go to sleep
With closed eyes
Your prophecies
Won’t be fulfilled tonight

When you think of falling skies
Remember there are a million ways to die

Don’t be afraid anymore
Don’t wear your inside out to keep you warm

So rest your head
It’s just as well
You can’t keep the sky from falling
Anyway

– Ane Brun, Lullaby for Grown-Ups

“I’ve had recurring nightmares that I was loved for who I am.
And missed the opportunity to be a better man.”
– Muse, “Hoodoo”

Your word’s to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

‘Cause it’s always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles
Cause my words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
‘Cause I can’t take anymore of this
I want to come apart
Or dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

I am nothing more than a little boy inside
That cries out for attention
Yet I always try to hide
‘Cause I talk to you like children
Though I don’t know how I feel
But I know I’ll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

Infinitely small
My moth heart
Yet ocean deep
Timeless and dark

Inescapable
Your soft spot
Lethal the game
Fatal the light
Merciless flame

Excerpt:

Go ahead tell me you’ll leave again
You’ll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It’s all the same
And I’ll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It’s all the same

“Where there is beauty, wisdom goes wrong.”

– Sophie Hunger

So I keep watch
and you keep breaking
breaking formation to become
someone else
and your eyes become corridors
where I wander with a candle
calling out to you

And you only hide
because you know I’ll find you

You say you just want to feel
the way you used to feel
the way you should feel
and I wander through
the lost city of you

And you only hide because you know I’ll find you
