A Myth

The edge which you find yourself in...
Is a myth created by so much commotion..
Have faith in the voice inside..
Take a fall and you will find..
That the ground was just a feet away..
With a crazy bard standing there..
His arms open for the embrace..

Regina Skeptor - Braille

Its not that I have not heard this song before. But suddenly when it came up in my play list today, I was compelled to think about it. The lines "I'm still an ass hole...." compels me to write about it. Straight from the person who has become too habituated to, and suffering from the "Ones Head In Ones Own Ass" disease.

She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks
She hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god
So she names the baby Elvis
To make up for the royalty he lacked

And from then on it was turpentine and patches
From then on it was cold Campbell's from the can
And they were just two jerks playing with matches
Cause that's all they knew how to play

And it was raining cats and dogs out side of her window
And she knew they were destined to become
Sacred road kill on the way
And she was listening to the sound of heavens shaking
Thinking about puddles, puddles and mistakes

Cause it's been turpentine and patches
It's been cold, cold Campbell's from the can
And they were just two jerks playing with matches
Cause that's all they knew how to play

Elvis never could carry a tune
She thought about this irony as she stared back at the moon
She was tracing her years with her fingers on her skin
Saying why don't I begin again
With turpentine and patches
With cold, cold Campbell's from the can
After all I'm still a jerk playing with matches
It's just that he's not around to play along
I'm still an ass hole playing with candles
Blowing out wishes blowing out dreams
Just sitting here and trying to decipher
What's written in Braille upon my skin...

Makes me Smile

Funny is what you have been..
Makes me smile whenever I think some reasons you give..
An angel personified..
Have the power of smile..
Which gives everyone the joy..
I miss you girl..
N I hope you miss me too..

Stabilo - Middle of the Night

At my usual time at home which is always comparatively different from everybody else, this song soothed my soul with a strange peace and an even stranger serenity.

Friendly faces, welcome almost any day.
Light up a smile and realize it's not too late to change your mind.
Take a train, swing from a threat, mother natures muddy water rolls right off my head.
Mr. Mystery passes by and says, "Son I'm glad you're still alive today."
So am I, why would Mr. mystery care about me anyway. Why would Mr. mystery care about me anyway?

When tears fell like rain,
I'm licking my lips.
I'll never understand it.
That's just the way it is.
I've been running from these demons for most of my life.
I can still feel them watching me in the middle of the night.

So you say that you do not know me.
I do not know myself.
What I am or who I'll be, so don't try to make sense of me.
So you say that you do not love me, I do not love myself.
I never wanted to be the one tying you down, but I really do hope that you are happy now.

When tears fell like rain,
I'm licking my lips.
I'll never understand it.
That's just the way it is.
I've been running from these demons for most of my life.
I can still feel them watching me

I want to be here forever,
I want to be young forever.
Lets dance the sky together on another day.
If you go and you just don't see,
I want to be you and you want to be me,
Come on everybody and dance with me.

Climbing mountaintops,
I had a thing for you.
Your enchanting smile and your eyes are cool.
You would fall behind,
I would wait for you.
Everybody's gone ahead,
I just smile and shake my head.
You don't know who you are,
You will never know. You will never know.

If you go and you just don't see,
I want to be you and you want to be me,
Come on everybody and dance with me

When tears fell like rain,
I'm licking my lips.
I'll never understand it.
That's just the way it is.
I've been running from these demons for most of my life.
I can still feel them watching me in the middle of the night.

When tears fell like rain,
I'm licking my lips.
I'll never understand it.
That's just the way it is.
I've been running from these demons for most of my life.
I can still feel them watching me in the middle of the night.

Matchbox 20 - If You're Gone

On a Tuesday Morning, like any other morning I woke up to this recommendation for me by YouTube. A welcome surprise if ones thought suddenly appear amidst the clouds of nothingness in the form which probably is the only thing which still keeps me human. A awesomely amazing presentation of a beautifully worded song.

I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need - more than you mind

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - do I talk too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you
