the musical drug

Aren't these the most beautiful lyrics you've ever heard? I think so......my musical diet has been monotonously Shinsy for nearly 6 weeks now. And it's anything but monotonous. The music fills my ears and heart simultaneously and spills over into the car and nothing hurts at all.


Sleeping Lessons........

Go without
'Til the need seeps in
You're low, anymore
Collect your novel petals for the stem

And glow
Glow
Melt and flow
Eviscerate your fragile frame
And spill it out in ragged form
A thousand different versions of yourself

And if the old guard still offend
They got nothing left on which you depend
So enlist every ounce
Of your bright blood
And off with their heads
Jump from The Book


You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
See, those unrepenting buzzards want your life

And they got no right
As sure as you have eyes
They got no right

Just put yourself in my new shoes
And see that I do what I do
Because the old guard still offend
We got nothing left on which we depend
So enlist every ounce
Of your bright blood
And off with their heads
Jump from The Book
You're not obliged
To swallow anything you despise
That you despise
