my sweet turpentine

purify

purify – metallica: listen to this song here
(you need real player for this)

every now and then yesterday strikes back… like a splinter in your finger. and god it hurts! it stings like a new experience.

nightmares are awakened in the brightness of the mighty darkness. shaken, stirred and all that’s forsaken is laid down on the table like the nakedness of a virgin! an unnerving feeling creeps, for that split-second the line between sleep and alertness gets jaded. faded like a child’s erased graffiti on the walls of home before the parents walk in! you can see the mistakes, but you can’t make out what has the child doodled.

there does come a time when despite the worlds charismas one’s curiosity is buried six feet under. times where vulnerability doesn’t strike anything more than just an adjective. the mirror speaks of finding comfort in reclusion, the shadows interpret deceit to thyself and you believe in an enigma that is you, well ascertained that it’s only you who holds the key but no motive to turn it!

new habits seem like they are RE-appearing… trusting you are the captor, and you, yourself are the slave. eyes that cannot see you, hands that drop you, tongues that speak on the inside, silence that blemishes your faith.

time, the most pertinent factor, comes clothed in deception, allowing you to be encompassed, compelling, not caring however unwilling you are to be sheltered in it’s short lived sanity.

like a splinter, it tears, it stings, it eases!

Pure if i… Can’t you help me?
Pure if i… Won’t you help me?
Purify you and i
Purify you and i
Pure if i… Can’t you help me?
Pure if i… Won’t you help me?
You and i purify
You and i purify
Purify

it’s never built to really last!

life is a lemon & i want my money back – meatloaf : listen to this song here
(you need real player for this)

i want my money back
i want my money back
it’s all or nothing

and nothing’s all i ever get
every time i turn it on
i burn it up and burn it out

it’s always something
there’s always something going wrong
that’s the only guarantee
that’s what this is all about

it’s a never ending attack
everything’s a lie, and that’s a fact
life is a lemon and i want my money back!

and all the morons
and all the stooges with their coins
they’re the ones who make the rules
it’s not a game – it’s just a rout

there’s desperation
there’s desperation in the air
it leaves a stain on all your clothes
and no detergant gets it out

and we’re always slipping through the the cracks
then the movie’s over – fade to black
life is a lemon and i want my money back!

i want my money back
i want my money back

what about love?
it’s defective!
it’s always breaking in half

what about sex? !
it’s defective!
it’s never built to really last

what about your family?
it’s defective!
all the batteries are shot

what about your friends?
they’re defective!
all the parts are out of stock

what about hope?
it’s defective!
it’s corroded and decayed

what about faith?
it’s defective!
it’s tattered and it’s frayed

what about your gods?
they’re defective!
they forgot the warranty

what about your town?
it’s defective!
it’s a dead end street to me

what about your school?
it’s defective!
it’s a pack of useless lies

what about your work?
it’s defective!
it’s a crock and then you die

what about your childhood?
it’s defective!
it’s dead and buried in the past

what about your future?
it’s defective!
and you can shove it up your ass!!

i want my money back
i want my money back

it’s all or nothing
and nothing’s all i ever get
every time i turn it on
i burn it up and burn it out

it’s a never ending attack
everything’s a lie, and that’s a fact
life is a lemon and i want my money back!

and we’re always slipping through the the cracks
then the movie’s over-fade to black
life is a lemon and i want my money back!

it’s not easy to be me

five for fighting – superman: listen to this song here

i can’t stand to fly
i’m not that naive
i’m just out to find
the better part of me

i’m more than a bird…i’m more than a plane
more than some pretty face beside a train
it’s not easy to be me

wish that i could cry
fall upon my knees
find a way to lie
about a home i’ll never see

it may sound absurd…but don’t be naive
even heroes have the right to bleed
i may be disturbed…but won’t you concede
even heroes have the right to dream
it’s not easy to be me

up, up and away…away from me
it’s all right…you can all sleep sound tonight
i’m not crazy…or anything…

i can’t stand to fly
i’m not that naive
men weren’t meant to ride
with clouds between their knees

i’m only a man in a silly red sheet
digging for kryptonite on this one way street
only a man in a funny red sheet
looking for special things inside of me
inside of me
inside me
yeah, inside me
inside of me

i’m only a man
in a funny red sheet
i’m only a man
looking for a dream

i’m only a man
in a funny red sheet
and it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm…

its not easy to be me
