Yet again

 and when the music stops, all we have are words merely so listen up, they're not taking you seriously. And i'd write the words, if i only knew what you needed touch you in the heart...Try and stop the bleeding. And all i want is for you to be ok i'll do anything for you you just say the word. And i'll write the words, and tell everyone our story. Try and touch their hearts hope they don't ignore me. And all i want is for us to be ok i'd give my life for just say the word. And i'll say the words, it's what i do it's not my choice. They touch me in my heart, i try and give em all a voice. And i don't want it if it's easy. I can't have it until i've really worked for it. Because all you'll have is this idiot. But i'll write the words, and if you give me 5 minutes. I might break your heart...But we're just beginning. And all i want is for our you to be ok i'll do anything for you just say the words. And i'll spread the word as far as this body can reach. Try and find their hearts, no matter how deep. And i'll die for you i love you all with all i am. I'll do anything for you just say the word. And when i've stopped believing. I hope you'll pick up all these pieces that i'm leaving. Because you don't want me if i'm cutting all these corners.

and when the music stops, all we have are words merely so listen up, they're not taking you seriously. They don't respect you, it might be your managing style. If they neglect you, you might try not being kind. When no one likes you, it's time to start docking their pay. What if they hurt you, you might try filing a complaint. But remember sticks and stones, and stick those stones where you can use em again, make em bruise when you send that they'll lose in the end, when they feel your revenge. But right now's the time, and it's got to be drastic. Trying to hold it all together with prayer and some plastic ties, no matter what the size. I try and try, and die. A little death every time i close my eyes, and resurrect and pass right by. Another day, another chance another window, but they're not taking you seriously though. We're downsizing your accounts. We're all hoping things will bounce. We got to do what's right for the economy. We have to let you go, because we have no more money. They're not taking you seriously. Your oblivious and can't feel shame. It must be how you carry yourself. Your the only one to blame. So listen up. And when i've stopped believing. I hope you'll pick up all these pieces that i'm leaving. Because you don't want me if i'm cutting all these corners. I've been cutting all these corners. These corners.

Αυτό λοιπόν

we only have what we remember

Είναι εκείνη η στιγμή και το ξέρεις. Κάνεις πίσω και βγάζεις με το μυαλό σου μια φωτογραφία, όλοι οι φίλοι σου μια αγκαλιά, μόνο αγάπη κι όλα θα πάνε καλά, και είσαι μεθυσμένος, αλλά όχι τόσο ώστε να μη νιώθεις, το αντίθετο, τα νιώθεις όλα τώρα πιο δυνατά από ποτέ. Και δεν πρόκειται να τα ξεχάσεις, και δεν έχει τίποτα άλλο στον κόσμο σημασία.

Intermission


my eyes saw fire, my heart said escape

One accident away from a miracle

Έχω υποσχεθεί στον εαυτό μου ότι κάποια στιγμή θα γράψω ένα κείμενο για τους Listener, όμως απ' ότι φαίνεται η στιγμή αυτή θα αργήσει λίγο. Μέχρι τότε, ας πω πως αυτό που κάνουν μου φαίνεται δυνατό και βαθιά αληθινό, κι ας μοιράσω και το αγαπημένο μου τραγούδι, μαζί (απαραιτήτως) με τα λόγια.

  Seatbelt Hands
She's the kind of lady that calls everybody baby
honey, sugar, sweetie, she's always making friends
and she keeps us all locked outside her thick leather skin
she always starts with a smile, it's small and butter yellow
but easier than a handshake, doesn't like her hands touched
she tans alot, gets burnt alot smoking through the cartons
but then gets put out so much, she's considered a bargain
she was born on the fourth of july with her hand on her heart
loves america,& being patronized, no one ever told her to guard her heart
she was an angel for halloween once, but never again
and for christmas ever year she's haunted by demons
they always tell her they love her.

she used to believe in innocence until she lost it
and spent a long summer, riding the trains
she has cats and collectors plates to keep her sane
watching TV in her favorite chair... both of which are rented
she's alone, and surrounds herself with loners
her life is a loan, lent out to anyone who will own her
waiting for the night to sweep her off her feet, while she mops the bathroom floor
hoping for a winning ticket or a man to treat her right
but they're both a gamble and she's been a loser all her life
and if she had a nickel for every time she's been punched and kicked
she'd put it together with her camel cash, try to buy some happiness
they always tell her they love her, but then they take something from her.

she would always show us her dreams
they were crumpled up like leaves from holding on too tight
scattered in her shoebox coffin on the cardboard walls covered in butterflies
she's got love in her heart for her babies, and hope in her mind for tomorrow
and blood on her hands that only she sees, holding the last bit of time that's borrowed
but you never know where that heart has been, and we'll never know how hard it's been
I wanna cut open my chest and let her in, but that won’t fix what needs to mend
and she stands there unlit cigarette in hand
filling up that empty hole with anything that’ll pour
insides hanging out like a flare, warning.
there’s beauty in that pain, can you see it?
she’s crashing through life with seat belt hands
one accident away from a miracle
and there’s an honesty there, but I can’t take it all in
she hides the worst of it in the wrinkles
that’s the ache you get when there’s nowhere else to go.
and she’s got nowhere else to go, she doesn’t want to go there.
so I promise I’ll go with her.

passionate & fearless

γιατί να μην υπάρχουν περισσότεροι μουσικοί άνθρωποι με άγριο πάθος γι' αυτό που κάνουν; γιατί αυτός ο τύπος να είναι παγκοσμίως άγνωστος; γιατί, τέλος, να μην έχω κι εγώ ένα τέτοιο επικό μουστάκι; οι απαντήσεις στο επόμενο επεισόδιο.
