Aesop Rock - Forest Crunk
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
Owen - Bad News
Whatever it is you think you are
you aren’t:
a good friend, unique, well-read
good-looking, or smart.
Well, now you know.
Well I hate to be the one to bear such bad news.
I know it hurts to hear
but it’s true.
You don’t mean anything
to anyone but me.
And even I think
that you’re blinded by conceit.
So now you know.
Free beer
and basement shows
don’t mean you’ve made it.
It’s what you do
not who you were, or what you wear, or where you’ve been,
so do something.
Whoever you think is watching you dance
from across the room,
they aren’t.
If anything, they feel sorry for you
‘cause you try so hard.
I know it hurts to hear
but it’s the truth
So you might as well hear it
from a friend.
You’re a has-been
that never was.
And I know it’s mean to say
but it’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
for a while.
You’re a has-been
that never was
or will be.
i’m really excited about this new Sprockets bike. i’ve got that happy-with-a-secret feeling.
Elliott Smith — Instrumental (Basement Demos)
Owen — “Windows and Doorways”
windows and doorways
i don’t know which way to leave this room,
cause i’m afraid of heights.
and i’m afraid of you tonight,
those striped socks and punk rock pajamas.
someways i’ve changed, but in most ways i’m the same.
for better or worse i can’t say,
only time will tell.
like an addict i’m cursed in a good way
i’ve done it so long and i’m not sure how not to
