So
So you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell
Did they get you trade
Your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For the lead role in a cage
How I wish
How I wish you were here
Were just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Remember learning these lyrics as a little boy who got introduce to Pink Floyd by dad.
How the fuck did I end up like this, anon?
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no moreHOW THE FUCK IS THAT NOT ORIGINAL?
>>29881931
the answer is no, no we can't
>>29881931
I don't know how we got here but finding Pink Floyd was a great thing, a lot of my robot feels can relate heavily to the lyrics/feeling of the songs and my autistic side loves the random shit like corporal clegg etc
The things I used to love I have come to reject
The things I used to hate I have learned to acceptAnd the worst of the three you now have to expect
Satan ain't hard to see you without craning your neck
He'll be seventy-some inches tall
He'll be chugging a beer and he'll be grabbing his balls
He's a remote explosive waiting for someone to call
He's just eighteen for now but he's going to murder us all
Solidarity's gonna give a lot less than it'll take
Is there a girl at this college who hasn't been raped?
Is there a boy in this town that's not exploding with hate?
Is there a human alive ain't looked themselves in the face
Without winking or saying what they mean without drinking
Who will believe in something without thinking
"What if somebody doesn't approve?"
Is there a soul on this earth that isn't too frightened to prove?
I'm as much of an asshole as I've ever been
And there is still nothing about myself I respect
Still haven't done anything I did not later regret
I have a hand and a napkin when I'm looking for sex
And that's no one to talk to when feeling depressed
And so now when I drink, I'm going to drink to excess
And when I smoke, I will smoke gaping holes in my chest
And when I scream, I will scream until I'm gasping for breath
And when I get sick, I will stay sick for the rest of my days
>>29881884
AND YOU RUN AND RUN TO CATCH UP TO THE SUN, BUT IT'S SINKING
RACING AROUND TO COME UP BEHIND YOU AGAIN
THE SUN IS THE SAME IN A RELATIVE WAY, BUT YOU'RE OLDER
SHORTER OF BREATH, AND ONE DAY CLOSER TO DEATH
My legs, my back, lick my pussy and my crack
>>29882039
I like that band btw....brings me back to my early teen years.
Cause I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom, please flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.
OH SHIT I'M FEELING IT, TAKYON
When the sun grows on your tongue
You won't want to stop it
You're gonna die,
WE'RE ALL gonna die
We won't want to stop it
WE won't go walkin'
and WE won't see summertime
WE
won't imagine
that we can't run on
Memories keep flooding in
showing the paths I should've taken but
now that time has run away from me
I cannot change a thing
Growing up
Really fucking sucks
I want to fall in love
But I don't love anybody
And soon, there will be nobody
Who will want to fall in love with me
And I'm afraid I don't care
I'm afraid I don't care
>>29882039
When I hear the engine pass
I'm kissing you wide
The hissing subsides
I'm in luck
When the evening reaches here
You're tying me up
I'm dying of love
It's OK
These are some dream normie lyrics that make you feel like shit...beautiful words though.
Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone
I took the city 'bout one A.M,
Loaded, loaded
I'm all geared up to score again,
Loaded, loaded
I come alive in the neon light
That's when I make my moves right
Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone
Got gleaming chrome, reflecting steel,
Loaded, loaded
Ready to take on every deal,
Loaded, loaded
My pulse is racing, I'm hot to take
This motor's revved up, fit to break
Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm singing this song
But it's about you
Whoever else is listening
It's only about you
See there's just one story
And everyone's the star
And it goes like this...
No one will ever love you
For everything you are
And so you build up layers of deception
And you leave out things to alter the perceptions
Of the ones you love
Who would never love you back
If they knew all about you
Every solitary fact
And the sadness of your life
Is built upon this lie
Of really knowing anyone
Or having them know you
It's the sadness of the world
There's nothing left to do
And so just go to sleep
Just let the hours pass
Sleep it all away
None of it will last
Soon it's all over
You're under clover
And none of it matters anymore
Ive been draggin' around
From the end of your coat for two weeks
Everywhere you go is swirlin'
Everything you say has water under it
You know, I keep your fingerprints
In a pink folder in the middle of my table
Youre the tall kingdom I surround
Think I'd better follow you around
You might need me more
Than you think you will
Come home in the car you love
Brainy, brainy, brainy
Ive been draggin' around
From the end of your coat for two weeks
You keep changing your fancy, fancy mind
Every time I decide to let go
I was up all night again
Boning up and reading the American Dictionary
Youll never believe me, what I found
Think I'd better follow you around
You might need me more
Than you think you will
Come home in the car you love
Brainy, brainy, brainy
You might need me more
Than you think you will
Come home in the car you love
Brainy, brainy, brainy
Take it back
I would take it back
For just another minute
Just another chance with you
Give it up
I would give everything up
Every last breath
Every first taste, for you.
Just to make it alright.
Just to make it alright.
But its too late, to go back.
I can see the darkness, through the cracks.
Daylight fading, I curse the breaking.
The day is gone.
The day is gone.
LEAVES FROM THE VINE
FALLING SO SLOW
LIKE FRAGILE, TINY SHELLS
LITTLE SOLDIER BOY
COME MARCHING HOME
BRAAAAVE SOLDIER BOY
COME MARCHING HOME
the feels
I'm plotting my schemes wherever I go
They're perfect in every way
I'd love to destroy the blue one you know
He's an obstacle who always gets in my way
I must play this game by my rules
I will conquer the world with my tools
All my machines are made for destruction
I will build my empire
I will succeed, and you will see
With my machines, there is no retreat
I am the Eggman, that's what I am
I am the Eggman, with the master plan
I am the Eggman, that's what I am
I am the Eggman, I got the master plan
>tfw you will never be a wily scientist with an army of robots
>>29881884
I live in a constant state of fear and misery
Do you miss me, anymore
And I don't even notice when it hurts, anymore, anymore, anymore, anymorehow in the ever loving fuck was this not original
So if I call,
should I beg?
Because I'm desperate here;
a couple steps from the edge.
I can't seem to burn bright enough.
I'm cold and I'm left alone.
We're all alone.
Grab a hold.
I know I said to not. What the fuck do I know?
I had a chance to construct something beautiful and I choked
Hey pig
Yeah you
Hey pig piggy pig pig pig
All of my fears came true
Black and blue and broken bones you left me here I'm all alone
My little piggy needed something new
Nothing can stop me now
I don't care anymore
Nothing can stop me now
I just don't care
Hey pig
Nothing's turning out the way I planned
Hey pig there's a lot of things I hoped you could help me understand
What am I supposed to do I lost my shit because of you
Nothing can stop me now
I don't care anymore
Nothing can stop me now
I just don't care
Nothing can stop me now
It hurts just to wake up
Whenever you're wearing thin
Alone on the outside
So tired of looking in
Yeah they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster
You know we ain't gonna die
No, no, you know we ain't gonna die
Under a red sky, I told her, "I want to die." And how I cry with no concrete reason why and have bad dreams every night, or every other night.
I feel sickly, like I am lost at sea. And all the girls I used to know are high on ecstasy, and they're much happier than me, I think.
She told me things would pass, like the girls who smoke the grass, like huffing gas out in the dried-up meadow grass under stars that shine like glass in the sun.
And she said, "Would you shoot me in the head?" We shot the breeze and had malt liquor instead. Passed out together in the shed or the bed - I don't recall.
I said: "What better way to put myself in my place? What better way to get out of this goddamn place?
>>29881884
That song always makes me think of her.
Keep these feels, OP.
I don't want these feels.
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
With your Hair of Flaming Roses
Your Kiss, Medusa's Touch
Turn Me To a Pillar of Salt
To Die Now Would Be Perfection
Then My Loneliness Closes in
So , I Drink a German Wine
And Drift in Dreams of Other Lives
And Greater Times
White Sheets Wrap My Mind
In Drunken Thoughts of Runes and Men
Why Does The Devil Leave For Us
His Legacy of Loneliness
This Cry For the Moon
And a Dagger's Thrust
With Your Hair of Flaming Blooms
And Your Eyes of Saintly Dusk
Then My Lonliness Closes in
So , I Drink a German Wine
And Drift in Dreams of Other Lives
And Greater Times
It's safe in the city to love in a doorway
Wrangle some screams from the dawn
And isn't it me, putting pain in a stranger?
Like a portrait in flesh, trails on a leash
Will you see that I'm scared and I'm lonely?
So I'll break up my room, and yawn and I'll
Run to the center of things
Where the knowing one says:
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing
Boys, boys, its a sweet thing, sweet thing
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing"
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams
Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh,
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams
Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh,
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
All of my fellow robots, please read this, or hear the song, it will make you feel better. Beautiful lyrics.
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Ohh how how how, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clocks waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
You're so natural - religiously unkind
Oh no love! you're not alone
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
You got your head all tangled up but if i could only
Make you care
Oh no love! you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone
Just turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on with me and you're not alone (wonderful)
Let's turn on and be not alone (wonderful)
Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful (wonderful)
Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful (wonderful)
Oh gimme your hands.
I'm ashamed to admit I'm afraid of assuming the blame For my lame abnegation of braveness and fame Brain in a jar in a car in reverse I'm rehearsing The way I'll replay how to say how to be where you are
Flammable undiagrammable sentiments Pass between animal beings Hard to explain but it's plain that I love you for psychological reasons
Why does the mouse share the house with the louse? They won't say but they feel their feelings Doesn't subtract from the fact that I love you for psychological reasons Reasons I can't really go into now Reasons we should probably not get into right now
>>29881884
The panic the vomit
The panic the vomit
God loves his children
Yeeaaahhhh
It took so long, for me to realize
How strong your heart is
And all this time, my mind was working
In strange ways
Looking back on the days, just wanna be free
Through the love in your eyes
Now I'm staring inside, just wanna be free
Through the love in your eyes
Sweet tides, pools of love
Your eyes are full of...
Sweet tides, pools of love
Your eyes are full of...
>>29884537
Wake.. from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape, we escape
Pack.. and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose
Breathe, keep breathing
Don't lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone
Sing.. us a song
A song to keep us warm
There's such a chill, such a chill
You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one in everlasting peace
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
>>29882207
That part always made me happy.
Is that bad?
>>29881987
song too good not to be original
The axe, the bottle, and the rope
The feeling there really is no more hope
The thought of the great unknown
And facing it alone
The dark, the silent, and the cold
The feeling I have come to the end of my road
Yes these are the things I spend my remaining moments with
When the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there
Why did it have to be so hard
For us to live our lives
Again I reach out in the dark in despair
The desperation and the snow
The feeling of finally coming back home
The melancholy and the hole in the soil so hard and cold
When the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there
Your love for me, my love for you
Things we somehow managed to lose
Now there's only the ruthless wind
To blow right through
If freezes my heart, my desperate heart
To think we both will die alone
When the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there
And we won't be breathing in that same sun again
None of this will ever surface again
How we get older, how we forget about each other
And the angel falls to the sky
Raised and coiled she blessed this day she did
And it rings our ears
She rarely flies anymore, burden broke her wings
And I know this ghost, I have seen it before
Young it is the dying too fast, too soon, I'll be okay
The air thins in the quick and our lips move but we hear no sound
She whispered "Every time you justify, another good in you dies"
Your faith and fear seared me, and love and you pull all the right strings
"How we get older, how we forget about each other," she said
Entwined within the sadder of days
The saddest fucking day

Your dreams still follow storylines, like fictions you would make.
So I lie down against your back, until we're both back in the hospital.
But now it's not a cancer ward, we're sleeping in the morgue.
Men and women in blue and white, they are singing all around you,
with heavy shovels holding earth.
You're being buried to you neck.
In that hospital bed, being buried quite alive now.
I'm trying to dig you out but all you want is to be buried there together.
>>29884693
such a great album, seeing them my third time thursday.
It's hard to wake up when the shades have been pulled shut
This house is haunted, it's so pathetic
It makes no sense at all
I'm ripe with things to say
The worda rot and fall away
If one stupid poem could fix this home
I'd read it every day
So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine, so when you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night
Twenty years now lost
It's not right
My childhood, the song.
>>29884693
That album helped me so much, hope they tour in europe next year

It's time the tale were told
of how you took a child
and you made him old
It's time the tale were told
of how you took a child
and you made him old
you made him old
Reel around the fountain
slap me on the patio
I'll take it now
Fifteen minutes with you
well, I wouldn't say no
oh people said
that you were virtually dead
and they were so wrong!
Fifteen minutes with you
I wouldn't say no
oh people said
that you were easily led
and they were half-right
It's time the tale were told
of how you took a child
and you made him old
It's time the tale were told
of how you took a child
and you made him old
you made him old
Reel around the fountain
slap me on the patio
I'll take it now
Fifteen minutes with you
I wouldn't say no
oh people see no worth in you
oh but I do
Fifteen minutes with you
oh I wouldn't say no
oh people see no worth in you
but I do
I dreamt about you last night
and I fell out of bed twice
you can pin and mount me
like a butterfly
But take me to the haven of your bed
was something that you never said
two lumps, please
you're the bee's knees
but so am I
Meet me at the fountain
shove me on the patio
I'll take it slowly
Fifteen minutes with you
oh I wouldn't say no
people see no worth in you
oh but I do
>>29884982
it fucking hurts
When you walk without ease
On these streets where you were raised
I had a really bad dream
It lasted 20 years, 7 months, and 27 days
And I know that, I know that
I never had no one ever
Now I'm outside your house
I'm alone
And I'm outside your house
I hate to intrude
I know I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone
And I never, never had no one ever
I never had no one ever
My love,
Wherever you are,
Whatever you are,
Don't lose faith.
I know it's gonna happen someday
To you.
Please wait . . .
Please wait . . .
Ah, ha, ha,
Wait . . .
Don't lose faith.
You say that the day
Just never arrives
And it's never seemed so far away.
Still I know it's gonna happen someday
To you.
Please wait . . .
Don't lose faith
I am a poor, freezing-cold soul,
So far from where I intended to go.
Scavenging through life's very constant lulls,
So far from where I'm determined to go.
Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love.
There is no way.
Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love,
But, you see, I've got no charm.
Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold,
Oh, this is very clear to you.
And you can tell I have never really loved.
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day.
And all of my life no-one gave me anything.
No-one has ever given me anything.
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye.
You must be such a fool to pass me by...

the best morrissy album and a shame not many know about it apart from true mozzer fans.
a song/lyrics i like but it's not morrissey:
that crucial filament is all but spent
and soon it will be dark in my basement
my heart is waxing the slick floor again
hoping i'll slip, and fall in love
well, she gave me the choice
to remain and rejoice or to recoil and rebel
well, papa, this gravity attack
yeah, it's a gravity attack
and i can't seem to carry, much less bury the past
well, your ex-girlfriend said i was a terrible mess
yeah, she's got a real good head on her shoulders
when the singer spoke and confessed
he didn't really smoke cigarettes,
she said her teenage brother smouldered
on a hotbed of coal in a sterile white room
underneath that joy division poster
he moaned papa, he moaned papa,
sometimes i gotta vent my spleen!
sometimes i gotta vent my spleen
when i get shattered in the heart
and scattered in the brain
well, all the medicine in these sermons
still can't keep his brazen nose from turning
and salvation, it may come free of charge
but faith always costs him something
they say there's nothing as sacred
as the blood between brothers
when it's pricked from their thumbs
and exchanged beneath the covers
well, papa, my brother is gone!
yeah, my brother is gone!
so would you tell me now how it is
i'm supposed to get along?
well, you asked for a chorus but you got a refrain
yeah, it's another sad song that moves like a train
you can't whistle to it
but you can fast-forward through it
flick it off your shoulder like dead skin
they say my head on a plate
may curve the debate
about the unbearable high cost of living
but papa, everything falls apart!
everything falls apart
and the grass will grow
as surely as they'll break your heart
>>29881884
Well, I went to the doctor
I said, "I'm feeling kind of rough"
"Let me break it to you, son
Your shit's fucked up"
I said, "My shit's fucked up?
Well I don't see how"
He said, "The shit that used to work
It won't work now"
I had a dream
Ah shucks, oh well
Now it's all fucked up
It's shot to hell
Yeah, yeah, my shit's fucked up
It has to happen to the best of us
The rich folks suffer like the rest of us
It'll happen to you
That Amazing Grace
Sort of passed you by
You wake up every day
And you start to cry
You wanna to die
But you just can't quit
Let me break it on down
It's the fucked up shit
Yeah my shit's fucked up
Fucked up

>>29885540
it's from simon joyner word by word and is the guy who actually influenced conor and played with him in his early years. joyner isn't even nearly as popular as he is cause he's a bald older dude that has side jobs but as an american songwriter I put him and bill callahan/smog as one of the best unknown treasures of modern american songwriting.. shame that you gotta have a pretty face to get anywhere
A strange union the other day
It's a dead Russian, the papers say
But it would be nice if they realised
That she thought 'he is mine'
This town has got you down and I know
I was helping you out
While your hope died under northern skies
and it shows
I was helping you to realise
The reason why, it was no surprise
No way
The act will pass by no-one
And I'm sad to say it's no different today
Be comforted by we share the same skies
And for once pay no mind
I have decided it's best that you know
I'm still thinking about
Old ties as north-west skies grow cold
No point in denying
Anxiety was my favourite feeling after jealousy
Yeah, I'll concede
That I could not be as nervous as I was
I could not, no way

Oberst was also with the faint back when they were norman bailer.
He left pretty early on and they made some decent stuff and saw reasonable success, signed with saddle creek as well, all of them being ugly as fuck.
He's maintained quality far better over time, though. They blow dick now.
I live down the street from you've noticed me, I've never seen you
Wonder what the fuck I do
Listen up, you nosy bitch, listen close
My most recent purchase, old black rope
Gonna learn how to tie it, hang it in my chamber
Perfect reminder, occult I'm made of
Come try it out whenever you wanna
Last night, 3:30 in the morning, Death on my front porch
Can feel him itching to take me with him, hail death, the fuck you waiting for
Like a question no one mention, he turns around, hands me his weapon
He slurs, "Use at your discretion, it's been a pleasure, Stefan"
Tried it all, tried it all
Done tried it all, I can't stop this internal bleeding.
My heart is leaking
And it hurts.
Cut me down, slice me deep
I dare you
Burn my crown, spit on my grave
I made you
See my face, see my face
I'll haunt you
Deep in the dark, behind your eyes
I'm all you
Salt of the Earth, Bird of the Heavens
you hear them
All in the Hell, the hollowest halls
don't fear them
Here I am, the warrior man
Here I stand, the warrior man
But I done tried it all, tried it all
Done tried it all, I can't stop this internal bleeding.
My heart is leaking
And it hurts me.
No boss and no one over me
No god that I could ever see
No law to hold me down
And we all fall;
Sodomy;
Dissolve.
TSOL
Gravedigger,
when you dig my gave,
Could you make it shallow,
So that I can feel the rain,
HAYOOOOO CAPTAIN JACK!

EVERY YEAR IS GETTING SHORTER

PLANS THAT EITHER COME TO NAUGHT
