Arcade Fire v DeathCab

oh Arcade Fire,
on par with Death Cab
yes they are
may be even better
since they are my band

it just gets old,
but when it comes down to it
I'm only angry at myself
for expecting them to act different,
smh

growing pains

yes
growing pains
but things shall all be good



i'm just a hooligan who's used to usin' hallucinogens
Causin' illusions again
Brain contusions again
Cutting and bruisin' the skin
Razors, scissors and pins
Jesus, when does it end?
Phases, that I go through
Dazed, and I'm so confused
Cheesed, that I don't know who
Gave, these molecules to
me, what am I gon' do?
Heed, the prodigal son
The diabolical one
Very methodical

MM

put holes in happiness
it's what I do
i have a unique skill set when it comes to doing this to others,
but i have my own specialty when it comes to myself
granted
i just was not meant to be happy

saying I am happy
or you make me happy
does not feel right
when I say it I can only think of how in the end
i will remember this instance as a lie
my subconscious speaks louder than my hate induced rants ever will

why don't people believe me when I say I can read anyone?
time after time I prove myself to be spot on
9 times out of 10 i already am aware of the outcome
however I still "play along"

i kill myself in small amounts
in each relationship its not about love
just another funeral
and just another girl left in tears

yes
familiar lyrics i know
but I am in a MM mode at the moment

i gave my soul to someone else
she must of known that it was already sold
but it was never about her
it was about the hurt

and you seem
she knows this
I am sure of it
her comments, subtle as she may believe they are,
are in actuality
painstaking obiovus
that
she
is
jealous

jealous of the past
but no I do not dwell in or on the past
right?
it is as if she logs on to her and reads these awful rants
but no
i am not as hard to read as I fancy myself to be
those who care and actually take an interest know all too well
too bad once they do somewhat figure me out
they begin to doubt themselves
strange i know
there are no expectations on my part
i am, blunt, very blunt
i make my desires and wishes evident
not down, then gtfo
i like to use that excuse for why i have not dated in the past 3 years
but we all know the real reason
or do we



love is a fire
burns down all that it sees
burns down everything
everything you think burns down everything you say

Joshua Buchanan

has just lost his shit
completely
blinded my anger
no recollection of what was said
i remember beginning to lose my shit
then everything is a blur
comprising anger and unresolved issues
pent up for years upon years
then i am in the front yard
with dallas grabbing my arm
like wtf just happened


yes
i am a winner



sad fucking face

what sarah said

and in an instance all is at peace
as the the thunder bellows in the distance,
i find myself overwhelmed with relief
how can it be that such a simple act,
unbeknown to the doer, erase layers
and layers of painstakingly thought out
rationalization?

this really should be in free verse
since i dare not say i approve of such postings
i allow them to exist for my personal reference
for in the future i will be able to reflect
and tell how worse i have become
why is it i cannot save myself
but a stranger
can


you may tire of me
as our december sun is setting
because i'm no longer the man i used to be



not really a stranger
just never one whom I thought would ever have the chance
not because they are lesser
more so because I refuse to allow anyone the chance


but even at our swiftest speed
we could not break the concret
in the city where we still reside



so maybe I will be able to post without the influence of death cab
one day

sam jones

no one wants to stay
we got nothing to lose
and we'll take it to our graves

-futurebirds




how do you like the view?
all the warning signs bearing down on you,

-well actually I don't quite care for it
not in the least bit

with such exuberance you relished in your joy,
declaring you were no longer used as a toy

-my excuse was that I was young and dumb,
doing what all I could to not feel numb

you have hardly been young and never once have you been dumb,
every action, calculated, cold and true,
doing all you can to prevent others from knowing you

-ignorance is bliss
so too is bliss happiness?

such elegant word play is only used to delay

-it was an old trick I learned from the best,
who ever wholly enjoys being forced to confess?

cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

oh the irony

people
and their actions
are predictable
yet,
never
unsatisfying

ben g

ok
so this song was on the new death cab album I download months before the release date,
a few of the tracks haven't been finalized
and one track in particular was labeled incorrectly
it was a nice surprise to discover this song

such an overcast day

so i'm pretty much a dick to any and everyone
no discrimination
just me
being an ass
and a douche
I only realize how much I hold back
by pounding drinks and then
listening to the words which come forth
from my mouth
the thing is
i know exactly what to say
to people
to cut them where it hurts the most
figuring people out becomes old
when I am right time after time
so what have i resorted to?
see the good in people
you think I would learn
but I just can't keep going on
like this, well, it's more that I don't want to
so i punch my own ticket
set sail on the seas
draw my own treasure map
and what takes place
me
being
me
aka a dick
and yes I know exactly why such actions occur
my habitual refusal to deal with
myself

what a tragic way
to see our final day

Lauren inquires as to whether I think it will make me happy,
my response
Lauren, when have I ever really been happy?
I don't want the look she gives me
her compassion is better spent towards
her patients at work
not my ass




We won't get far
Flying in circles inside a jar
Because the air we breathe
Is thinning with the words that we speak





i have become impatient
well, I have been impatient
for some time now
well
perhaps
immature is a more accurate descriptor
so now i embark
on a new endeavor
which is as ill-fated as those
coming before
but i mean
may be it'll kill a year
and summer will be back upon me
new degrees might be present
with her needing some time to fill
and i being oh too eager to oblige
events may fall into place
allowing the previous 4 years to be erased
and forgotten
all by
picking up
where we
left
off



i intentionally wrote it out
to be an illegible mess
and forget that we'd ever met
and what did or did not occur
sitting in the station it's all a blur

oh

our time has came and gone
once, twice, trice
one year short
of what could have been,
optimism at it's best,
over and over again

oh, yes?

very much do want.
tis bliss
:)

I may be considered a bad person
but I mean
I'm not

sleep

yeah, idk
just not feeling it
may be it's because I'm not a bad person
I'd rather see others bask in happiness before myself
or may be

I just
have no other choice
but to wait
because somewhere
deep within
I cannot shake
the simple thought
of you and i
running through life
together
hand
in
hand

birds de future

don't need that road to get back home,
but I take it anyways to help recall,
times from which are not far away....


oh futurebrids, how you move me

less than three

for great justice, such a great band live as well

dik is huge

so perhaps this random night
will end without disappoint
and one will become two
in such a game of hide and seek
which cupid himself
could not produce



yeah, screwdrivers and hypnotic
for the lulz
but when you party
in the jungle
you must be prepared
to burn that bitch
down

The Futurebirds

This little Athens-based band played at the bonnaroo buzz tour concert I went to in macon last night. I must say, I like their vibe. They had unique stage presence and really seemed to love and enjoy their music. I would drop everything just to be able to go on tour and play different venues night in and night out. Give them a listen, great lyrics as well....




teh future is nao

for the win

each morning i get up i die a little,
can barely stand on my feet,
take a look in the mirror and cry,
Lord what are you doing to me?
I have spent all my years believing in You,
But I just can't get no relief Lord!

I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes

I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!


http://youtu.be/9TlBTPITo1I

i feel so empty,
so lonely and so cold.
why did I ever think I could feel anything other?
i have my moments when i think i'm a pretty cool guy,
but then i night all i want to do i cry.
how could i be so foolish
to think I could actually matter,
to someone who has no idea

level

I find myself wandering
high and low through the thicket
hoping just to catch a glimpse
of the joy which was
the man I used to be

time over runs
this state which i'm in,
never pausing to question
or inquire
exactly how i
wound up here

poised upon a peak,
wavering to and fro'
as it the faintest wind
would topple this being
cast in mud
and sorrow

but with the rain
comes gray and doldrums,
harboring the slimmy and grimmy
whom none dare to provide shelter,
forcing them no alternative
but to hide from the sun


-me

cold

down again
never had faith in medicine
the smallest thing
can send me back
to a place where i frequent
an isolated site
harboring memories
which do more damage
than the sharpest words



josh b

this is the stuff

great song
very catchy

Reye

I do hope/pray that my Mom's eye will get better. I guess I sometimes forget that all these patients I take care of and nurse back to health are actually other people's moms and dads, brothers and sisters, and friends;it hits closer to home when those at home become sick. It just seems like one hard time after another these past few years. There have been the ups, but the downs seem to go further and further down each progressive time. Keep trudging through, things will get better, right? What do I have to look forward to? Graduation? Moving out? Getting my own to live, alone? Leave my parents to grow sick and die? Move off away from everything without a second thought? No, I can't, I won't.

Sick for days, so many ways
I'm aching now, I'm aching now
It's times like these, I need relief
Please show me how, oh, show me how

When I was young and moving fast
Nothing slowed me down, oh, slowed me down
Now I let the others pass
I've come around, oh, come around, 'cause I've found

Living just to keep going
Going just to be sane
All the while I know
It's such a shame

I don't need to get steady
I know just how I feel
Telling you to be ready
My dear






i should have written this
i have written this
why can't I wine and cry over tracks and get paid for it
hell
i'd make music free
i do make music for free
damn inspiration

landslide

<3
Took this love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
And can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Oh oh I don't know, oh I don't know

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older I'm getting older too
Yes I'm getting older too, so

I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I, I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too oh yes
I'm getting older too

So, take this love, take it down
Oh if you climb a mountain and you turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

Well maybe the landslide will bring you down

King Tut

What in the world is going on in Egypt?
Today there were reports of fire and break ins to the National Museum in Cairo.
Why do that? What possibly could one gain by destroying the place which harbors their history, culture, and heritage?
People are regressing right before our very eyes.
If you take a second to step back and look over the entire situation it becomes clear what is going on.
Sadly something will happen in Israel, and America, thanks to its fearless leader, will be slow to respond; angering Israel. Israel will face complete destruction and obliteration. But then, a Savior, a lone white knight will appear just in time. A resolution will be reached, and all will be well in the East; or will it? Christians will call this man the Anti-Christ,others will worship him as the peace bringer.
The wheels are turning, something larger, much larger than any of us, is at work here.
I do not like where things are going. I, personally, am all for citizens protesting and making their voice be heard. But when the feelings and emotions of disgruntled people are abused and manipulated to reach someone else's agenda is very, very wrong. I fear these events have been in motion for far too long, there is no way to stop them from turning, from events proceeding.
America will somehow, in the end, be cast the roll of the fool. People will look to anyone who can make just a bit of sense out the world, and when this person is found, they will worship him and submit to his every will. Rights, beliefs, and traditions which once were held onto so dearly will be quickly cast aside for a sense of peace, a sense of understanding, a sense of safety.
By the time we fully realize what is taking place here it will be too late. I weep for the future.

blah blah blah
random disgruntled post
most, if not all erased

Thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved with the shootings in Arizona this morning. Life is indeed precious.
