[blur10600]

Sometimes it passes
Sometimes it don't

Sometimes it passes

Sometimes
I'm in your arms in the front room
Your voice keep breathing
But my mind is not connected to my body
And I'm in pieces

I scapegoat the workload
The traumas from the past
How to keep the present in your grasp
When I'm holding it off behind glass?
I'm in the observation room staring at my palms
How are we supposed to dance?

But you're dancing
I can't land
Can't land in my own skin sometimes
But you're in the sunshine
You're in the garden

I'm walking slowly through some town with no name
In some place I don't know
With nothing to say
To the people I don't meet
I wait for the train
With a full bowl of water in my hands in the rain

Sometimes it passes
Sometimes it don't

Sometimes it passes
Sometimes it don't

I carry our love in my hands through each turbulent day
Like a full bowl of water in the rain
My tenderness for you
My hopes for our lives
One careful step at a time
Don't spill a drop
Don't drop the bowl

Don't lose hold
Don't lose control
Stay measured
Stay focused
Stay present
Stay close to the task
When the days are too slow or too fast
I just carry our love in my hands

Sometimes it passes
Sometimes it don't

(Kae Tempest)

 

[Celerity]

Roll me on
Your frozen fields
Break my bones
To watch them heal
Drown me in
Your thirsty veins
Where I'll watch
And I'll wait
And pray for the rain
Curl like smoke
And breath again
Down your throat
Inside your ribs
Through your spine
In every nerve
Where I watch
And I wait
And yield to the hurt
And if you don't believe the sun will rise
Stand alone and greet the coming night
In the last remaining light
Seven moons
And seven suns
Heaven waits
For those who run
Down your winter and
Underneath your waves
Where you watch
And you wait
And pray for the day
And if you don't believe the sun will rise
Stand alone and greet the coming night
In the last remaining light
Hey!!
And if you don't believe the sun will rise
Stand alone and greet the coming night
In the last remaining light
Light
Light
Light



Such a creepy song, but like all of Audioslave's stuff, I can't help but like it.

Pacing the Cage, Bruce Cockburn

Sunset is an angel weeping
Holding out a bloody sword
No matter how I squint I cannot
Make out what it's pointing toward
Sometimes you feel like you've lived too long
Days drip slowly on the page
You catch yourself
Pacing the cage

I've proven who I am so many times
The magnetic strip's worn thin
And each time I was someone else
And every one was taken in
Hours chatter in high places
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage
Set me to pacing the cage

I never knew what you all wanted
So I gave you everything
All that I could pillage
All the spells that I could sing
It's as if the thing were written
In the constitution of the age
Sooner or later you'll wind up
Pacing the cage

Sometimes the best map will not guide you
You can't see what's round the bend
Sometimes the road leads through dark places
Sometimes the darkness is your friend
Today these eyes scan bleached-out land
For the coming of the outbound stage.
Pacing the cage.
Pacing the cage.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

This lovely day will lengthen into evening
We'll sigh goodbye to all we ever had
Alone where we have walked together
I'll remember April and be glad

I'll be content you loved me once in April
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new
I'm not afraid of Autumn and her sorrow
For I'll remember April and you

The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes
For flames and love live such a little while
I won't forget but I won't be lonely
I'll remember April and I'll smile

 

[sueoffside]

You tried to make love to my empty womb
Tried to stuff me like a doll
With pieces of you
But it all seeps from my loosened seams
I took myself apart
And cut off my strings
And scraped the remains from my starving bowels
Collected them into garbage piles

To tie in bags, sink in the lake
And bury at the bottom all my sad mistakes
