bush - “insect skin”

iron lung, i know you well
deal with you like a bad spell
see the trail, moon burns
red stripe and vicadin

you were the only one, you were the censor
you’ll never people me, i’m not defenseless
in the afternoon as the light dims
build a life out of all of all this semtex
you’re the brightest one, you were the center
perfect opposite of of what you asked for

it’s not just one way
a negative factor
with all of these wasps out
i’d better take cover, better take cover

copper tongue, beam me up
lonely without my impediments
start to save what we used to steal
walking on, on gelatin

i never noticed you, you were the brightest one
you were wide of me, just like the english sun
you caught the light again in a perfect way
the biggest threat of all is in the alleyway
you’re the demon seed, you’re the factor
it feels better with a little bit of plaster

it’s not just one way
a negative factor
with all of these wasps out
i’d better take cover, better take cover
i’d better take cover

there’s all the pain in the way she talks
there’s all the pain in the way she walks
there’s all the pain in her wave goodbye
all the pain in the way she smiles
there’s all the pain in her fatal charm
all the pain in her arms, arms
in her arms, in her arms

atmosphere - yesterday

Yesterday —
Was that you? Looked just like you
Strange things my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we been through
Or am I just goin’ crazy ‘cause I miss you?

Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make; you can destroy your life every time you choose. But maybe you won’t know for twenty years. And you may never ever trace it to its source. And you only get one chance to play it out. Just try and figure out your own divorce. And they say there is no fate, but there is: it’s what you create. And even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are only here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or it seems to but it doesn’t really. And so you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope that something good will come along. Something to make you feel connected, something to make you feel whole, something to make you feel loved. And the truth is I feel so angry, and the truth is I feel so fucking sad, and the truth is I’ve felt so fucking hurt for so fucking long and for just as long I’ve been pretending I’m OK, just to get along, just for, I don’t know why, maybe because no one wants to hear about my misery, because they have their own. Well, fuck everybody. Amen. via Synecdoche, New York

Eddie Vedder - Guaranteed (Into the Wild OST)

On bended knee is no way to be free
Lifting up an empty cup, I ask silently
All my destinations will accept the one that’s me
So I can breathe …

Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they’ll never know
A mind full of questions, and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes …

Don’t come closer or I’ll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you …

Everyone I come across, in cages they bought
They think of me and my wandering, but I’m never what they thought
I’ve got my indignation, but I’m pure in all my thoughts
I’m alive…

Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees, they’re singing with the dead
Overhead …

Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed
