i’m a fountain of blood
in the shape of a girl.
you’re the bird on the brim,
hypnotized by the whirl.
drink me - make me feel real.
wet your beak in the stream.
game we’re playing, is life.
love’s a two way dream.
you are the one who grows distant,
when i beckon you near.
“i’m a path of cinders, burning under your feet. you’re the one who walks me, i’m your one way street.” — Bachelorette by Björk
lust for comfort
suffocates the soul
this relentless
restlessness
liberates me
sets me free
“did I imagine it would be like this, was it something like this I wished for… or will I want more?” — Wanderlust by Björk; from the album “Volta.”
You’re too complicated,
we should separate it.
You’re just confiscating,
you’re exasperating.
This degeneration,
mental masturbation;
think I’ll leave it all behind,
save this bleeding heart of mine.
“it’s a matter of trust because you don’t care about us.” — You Don’t Care About Us by Placebo; from the album “Without You I’m Nothing.”
I would vigilante-bushwhack,
through the jungles of Peru
just to save you
and I’d take you north
to Mexico
where you would tell me your life story
on the steps of a Mayan temple
where we’d camp
singing nonsense songs in 12 bars
to the jaguars,
until you’d sense me,
your eyes convincing,
and I would kiss you like a hero in the half-light.
Dryer sheets and peach shampoo,
the smell of palm leaves, I’d sleep against you
until the natives found us,
but they would crown us
king and [king.]
“we could stay there, spend our days there, eating guava by the sea, and i could understand your views, and you could fall in love with me.” — Hum Along by Ludo; from the album “Ludo.”
Through the mayor’s ruined head,
the boy steps through the window
and cries out from the ledge
to the people below.
‘There’s a time to pray
and there’s a time to fight.
Anything can be a weapon
if you’re holding it right.
Defend what is yours,
they will not take our souls.
It’s time now to
rise
and fight!’
“Save our city, keep our souls lord. Through the Rapture of this world.” — Save Our City by Ludo; from the album “Broken Bride.”
you woke up, in pieces
from making these changes
and holding the ransom, won’t write you an anthem.
on the outside, I’m trying, cause inside, I’m dying.
you took me for granted
now I’m changed, you haven’t
it won’t be so easy to sell me this feeling.
“this broken heart, was stronger then. now i can’t stand to part with this.” — This Broken Heart by Something Corporate; from the album “North (Japan)”
And so I’m trying,
to hold it all together and,
and make it through the day.
When I’m just dying
to drop it all and take your hand,
so we can run away.
“if home is where the heart is, then my home is where you are. but it’s getting oh so hard to spend these days without my heart.” — I’m Taking You With Me by Relient K.
It was a cold night,
and the snow lay around.
I pulled my coat tight
against the falling down.
And the sun was all,
And the sun was all down.
“it was a white crane; it was a helpless thing. upon a red stain and an arrow in its wing. and it called and cried.” — The Crane Wife 1 & 2 by Decemberists; from the album “The Crane Wife.”
You belong
to the gang.
And you say you can’t break away.
But I’m here,
with my hands
on my heart.
And our families can’t agree.
I’m your brother’s sworn enemy
But I’ll shout
out my love
to the stars.
“so wait, for the stone, on your window, your window. wait by the car and we’ll go, we’ll go.” O Valencia! by Decemberists; from the album “The Crane Wife.”
