From day one I talked about getting out
But not forgetting about
How all my worst fears are letting out
He said "Why put a new address on the same old loneliness?"
When breathing just passes the time
Until we all just get old and die
Now talking's just a waste of breath
And living's just a waste of death
And why put a new address on the same old loneliness?
and this is you and me and me and you
until we've got nothing left

To all those fine southern women in the house tonight...
If I told you that I
was thinking of moving east,
would you save a place for me?
I'll come home
because it's worse that I expected.
A place in my heart
for my home to the west
where we'll watch the same sunsets,
and when I doubt...
I'll look east and lock my heart
in a brass box to newfound mass.
I'm breaking off but this is my home.
I'd do anything for you,
give you the world if I could.
Is that what you want me to do?
These bridges and boundaries are bringing me closer to you.
It's a wierd time to be alive I suppose. I'm doing well in something that I was told I shouldn't do because it would be too hard. That was a joke. My heart is moving South as each day passes and its great. I didn't think I could feel this way again for a span there, but now that its happening again, I'm ok with it. I should be happy- the world is mine. Strange how the heart works sometimes. I need to be in North Carolina, I need to see if anything would work. Its scary, I may be crazy but its the first time I thought about a future with someone. this never happened before with any of the women and girls I've been involved with (a small list but a list still) All because of Yahoo pool and me being an ass, who knew.
Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day It's the school exam and the kids have run away
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was upset you see Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger Now you are mine
I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true Look at me, I'm not you
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine
I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart
Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart

A Blood Borne Scream
For being so strong waves of doubt crash to shore.
I used to thing I was so damn strong but there's always something that lands a little to close for comfort and I guess thats what life is.
Then there are the moments when just a little acknowledgement changes a whole day.
Having a person over 500 miles away that you think would be the world if you were there beside them is a kick in the balls, just a chance- nothing more nothing less. Something to hope for I suppose, we've all got that something that drives us.
Hold Tight To The Ones You Have Near, but don't be a doormat and linger too long if you need to move forward or just away.
I'm done for now I suppose, maybe the cold and the snow will clear my head

Too Young To Leave The Dance
Pound my knuckles hard against the floor. My head against the wall. But I did this to myself. Assume it's just not worth getting back up, but I'll blame it on bad luck. I'll shake responsibility (and say a hard life did this to me). I spent some time in a bad place at 18, wishing I could see something through clear eyes. Do you ever wake up to realize your life is meaningless? Does it give you strength or lead you to your grave at a young age? It seems that when I ran away from my past all my dignity, my faith, my pride got left back. And now I think it's time that I realize self pity's meaningless. Though I'm 10 feet deep, I'll claw my way back out from in my grave. But now I realize I'd give anything I have to walk a day in those old shoes. Wondering what my first smoke would be like, my first fuck, my next fuck up. Or the next band that would change my life and it changed my life.
RIP and Godspeed

Ohio-based Marines battalion loses 20 members in Iraq in matter of two days
| |
Associated Press Writer
August 3, 2005, 5:01 PM EDT
BROOK PARK, Ohio -- The rash of violence in Iraq this week has taken an especially brutal toll on a Marine battalion based in this working-class town: Twenty members from the unit, including one with ties to New Jersey, were killed over two days.
Grief and anger shook the town as families and residents anxiously awaited answers after learning that 14 Marine reservists were killed Wednesday by a roadside bomb _ one of the heaviest blows suffered by a single unit in the war. Two days earlier, six others from the battalion were killed while on sniper duty.
The sorrow in Brook Park, a Cleveland suburb of 21,000 people, was painfully clear Wednesday among the line of customers sipping their morning coffee at the counter of a doughnut shop down the street from the battalion's headquarters. Nearly everyone at the counter said they knew someone who was connected to the battalion.
"You never know who it could be. It could be your best friend. It could be your husband _ it could be anyone from here," Eleanor Matelski, 69, said as she angrily tore up a paper cup that had held her coffee.
"Tell Bush to get our soldiers out of there now before any more of our soldiers die. This is getting to be ridiculous," she said.
A few steps away, near the gates of the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines, residents piled red roses, American flags, handwritten notes of condolences and white crosses for the victims.
Names of the Marines killed Wednesday were not immediately released, but nine of them came from a smaller Columbus-based company of the battalion, said Master Sgt. Stephen Walter, a spokesman for the company. The battalion was activated in January and went to Iraq in March.
Military officials told the family of Lance Cpl. Edward Schroeder, 23, of Cleveland, that he was one of the Marines who died Wednesday. His mother, Rosemary Palmer, said he joined the military in 2002 despite her opposition; she wouldn't even let her son play with toy guns while he was growing up.
Schroeder, was a 2000 graduate of Columbia High School in Maplewood, N.J., said school principal Renee Pollack.
"We are heartbroken and we share in the family's grief at this very difficult moment," said Pollack, who came to the school after Schroeder graduated.
Pat Wilsox, who said some of the reserves from the battalion frequent the doughnut shop he manages, threw her hand over her heart when she heard the news that the unit had suffered more losses. "Oh my God," she said softly. "I'm all for protection but this is getting a little bit ridiculous."
Rex Lott's son, Cpl. Billy Lott, serves with the battalion's weapons company out of Akron. He said the last 24 hours have been rough, waiting for any word, hoping his son is all right. He left work early Wednesday to go to the reserve center.
"They expressed that they hadn't heard anything yet," said Lott, 53. "No news is good news as far as they're concerned."
Bob Fekete, manager of a tire shop near the battalion, said the losses weighed heavily on him. He has done auto work for some of the headquarters' Marines.
"It especially hits home because all these gentlemen were from this battalion," Fekete said in the shop's lobby decorated with American flags and a box filled with toys being collected for a Marine charity.
Fekete, who served with the Marines during Vietnam, did not express the anger some of his neighbors did. "It's just one of those things. It's part of the game," he said.
The risk that the same geographical area will suffer multiple casualties has been heightened in Iraq because reserve troops train and fight together _ unlike in Vietnam, where reserve units were split up and sent to the various active duty units.
The 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines, was first activated on May 1, 1943, and fought in several battles in World War II. It helped capture a key airfield at the Battle of Iwo Jima in the Pacific. Before this week's dead, the unit's Web site listed 25 of its Marines had been killed this year.
The battalion has units in Brook Park, Columbus, Akron, Moundsville, W.Va., and Buffalo, N.Y. The West Virginia unit said it had none of the casualties.
Associated Press writers M.R. Kropko in Brook Park, Thomas J. Sheeran in Cleveland and Erica Ryan in Columbus contributed to this report.

You can't sleep, you're restless
and slightly obsessed with falling too deep
and malfunction, you're a virus
who's intention is fucking up something
You're a crater
on the face of a problem much greater
It's the violence, or lack thereof control
Body and soul, digging a hole
Is the blood stainless?
Enjoy the pain with accepting your grief
Are you finished?
Dumb fucking question, don't let yourself fall asleep
Ressurect the intention
Once your vision is now mass-produced,
Imagine the insults a blessing
imagine accepting the truth
Imagine accepting the truth

The pendulum swinging
Hypnosis has taken control, now you linger
on a shadow of a doubt
Have you really figured what you're all about?
Don't trust your instincts
Just open the chamber where you keep those darkest regrets
All the things you've done wrong
Rebellious at heart all along
Is your leader a voice?
Somehow you replaced all your game with a debt
Now the payback's a bitch
Why owe your life to a bitch?
Absolutely pathetic
and regret it when told you are made of mistakes
Imagine the insults a blessing

Imagine accepting the truth

Mudvayne - Just
Just a few seconds away from everyone
From everything
Just a few seconds away
A second of your time and an inch of my own space
Silence
Quiet
Need a little peace of mind
After all this
After all that you do
Shut it up
Zip it
I need a little time to think
Without all this
Without all that you do
Keep it
Don't want it
Think I'll just go away
Away from here
From you
Time out
Walk it off
Think I need to throw a flag
Just a little break from the games that you play
Just a few seconds away from everyone
From everything
Just a few seconds away
All I want from all of you
Just a few seconds away
Away from this
It's neverending
Just a few seconds away
A second of your time and an inch of my own space
Beat it up
Whip it out
Top it with a little scream
All that you are
For all that you do
Crush it all
Kill it
Calling out my enemy
Don't want anything
I want nothing from you
Dry it up
Baby
Turn around and walk away
Cry your tears
Pussy
Lift it up
Destroy it
Build it up to tear it down
All the little things that make me run away
Just a few seconds away from everyone
From everything
Just a few seconds away
All I want from all of you
Just a few seconds away
Away from this
It's neverending
Just a few seconds away
Just a second of your time and an inch of my own space
Stop talking
Stop bothering me
Just walk away
I've had enough today
I have a life too
I've had enough of you
Feel like screaming
So go the fuck away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Just a few seconds away from everyone
From everything
Just a few seconds away
All I want from all of you

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I knew I miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my back yard
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
She bitched so much
She drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
Chorus
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
I used to love her, but I had to kill her

So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my back yard
I used to love her, but I had to kill her

i need you to be the strength of widows and soul survivors
i need you to be as fearless as new mothers and new fathers
i need you to be the hope of hearts who lost true love
i need you to be the might of their first kiss
i need a purpose and i need a reason
i need to know that there is trophy and meaning
to all that we lose and all we fight for
to all our loves and our wars
keep breathing
keep living
keep searching
keep pushing on
keep bleeding
keep healing
keep fading
keep shining on
this is for the hearts still beating
thousand miles
forgetting
anything
everything
wheels racing
black cloud gaining ground
engine roars
rain pours down
the chase is on
my black cloud
gaining ground
three years spent
outrunning
my demon
and her ring
keep moving
with engine heart
and boiled blood
i will push on down
my wounded roads
i can outrun
i will outrun you all
horsepower hope
find me a home
in brand new arms
that won’t let go
racing on to my end
amphetamine
raised her since three
he was a hope to be gutter king
both unravelled at their seams
that were never sewn
she never had a choice
they never had a chance
he never had a choice
they never had a chance
all their devils and all their demons
walk with me as they walked with them
all their devils and all their demons
haunting me as they haunted them
giving out
giving in
keep on searching
keep on running
suicide eyes
just keep hunting
for new hearts
to break
for old wounds
to make
no one will break your fall
keep on moving
keep on hiding
in ripe new lives
you are destroying
finding comfort
in their wreckage
you kill new hope
with old pain
no one will break your fall
i’m stopping this slow death
by letters never sent
i’m killing one way romance
and its words never read
i’m leaving love’s lost battles
to the vulture’s need to feed
i’m leaving you
i’m leaving them
and learning to be me
heart is everything
heart is you
love is you
hell is you
loss is you
heartless
you fail me with every fatal crush
you fail me with every abandoned love
you fail me with your inferno fuck me eyes
that burn as fuel for my city and its neon lights
burn bright white line fever take them all
you fail me with your new dead end dream
you fail me with your pill box fantasy
you fail me as love’s greatest war
that was never worth
you were never worth fighting for
dying living dying living dying everyday
living dying living dying living everyday
you think you are a poet
in your eyes you are a star
who lives through a fantasy of rising above
you think you’re a victim
but you live as a drunk
that has never sacrificed that has never loved
you think you are tragic but i know you are lost
you have walked the fault lines
and you have crossed them all
this world doesn’t fight you you fight yourself
thinking we fail you you fail yourself
she is at the end chasing her own fading light
running from her shadow in the name of living
searched for worth in the lust of men
paid in blood in different beds
mistaking sex for true love
they never meant a thing
her addiction brought her a world
of coward boys and of cheater girls
looking for an easy way out of being ordinary
so she boarded their sinking ship
and crossed their red needle sea
drowning truth to live her lie
that she was ordinary
in her fading shadow
in new day dreams a promise gives way
to a star struck death and a gold disease
a hollywood end for a once great man
who found death on his knees
cashed in crashed and burned
sore sour sore
our eagles become our vultures
i’ve searched with pen and paper
i search to show you
just how far i broke from myself
in the name of fear and doubt
in a better world there would be a better me
without the chase that won’t leave me be
wolves at my door keep all your wars
i’m going home to bed
i’ve paid more death then you will ever live
let me live
leave me be
let me live
leave me
you haunt me
broken promise
two year mourning
dead ringer
old dead ending
new dead ends
in every sleep my blood boils
it is my sheep they follow
my flocks are falling out of love
dead ringer
old dead ending
new dead ends
you haunt me
in pine box days
in red nights coming
take your crown
stand your ground
plague queen
death king
you are nothing more than dying royalty
you are nothing more than a fading drama queen
your spelling errors in love letters just stole your crown
you are nothing more than late night fantasy
you are nothing more than a rehearsed tragedy
your spelling errors in love letters just killed your dream
just killed you
you are nothing more than a dim lit whore
you are nothing more than a crashing bore
in your blood paid
you chase a shadow that will fade out as pain
i keep paying
when you keep taking
please stop running
and just start living
me without you
i have learned to live without your light
that burned so bright
you are half the heart and half the will
hanging moon
haunting you
hanging moon
be my light in this world of darkness

i need you to be as fearless as new mothers and new fathers
i need you to be the hope of hearts who lost true love
i need you to be the might of their first kiss
i need a purpose and i need a reason
i need to know that there is trophy and meaning
to all that we lose and all we fight for
to all our loves and our wars
keep breathing
keep living
keep searching
keep pushing on
keep bleeding
keep healing
keep fading
keep shining on
this is for the hearts still beating
thousand miles
forgetting
anything
everything
wheels racing
black cloud gaining ground
engine roars
rain pours down
the chase is on
my black cloud
gaining ground
three years spent
outrunning
my demon
and her ring
keep moving
with engine heart
and boiled blood
i will push on down
my wounded roads
i can outrun
i will outrun you all
horsepower hope
find me a home
in brand new arms
that won’t let go
racing on to my end
amphetamine
raised her since three
he was a hope to be gutter king
both unravelled at their seams
that were never sewn
she never had a choice
they never had a chance
he never had a choice
they never had a chance
all their devils and all their demons
walk with me as they walked with them
all their devils and all their demons
haunting me as they haunted them
giving out
giving in
keep on searching
keep on running
suicide eyes
just keep hunting
for new hearts
to break
for old wounds
to make
no one will break your fall
keep on moving
keep on hiding
in ripe new lives
you are destroying
finding comfort
in their wreckage
you kill new hope
with old pain
no one will break your fall
i’m stopping this slow death
by letters never sent
i’m killing one way romance
and its words never read
i’m leaving love’s lost battles
to the vulture’s need to feed
i’m leaving you
i’m leaving them
and learning to be me
heart is everything
heart is you
love is you
hell is you
loss is you
heartless
you fail me with every fatal crush
you fail me with every abandoned love
you fail me with your inferno fuck me eyes
that burn as fuel for my city and its neon lights
burn bright white line fever take them all
you fail me with your new dead end dream
you fail me with your pill box fantasy
you fail me as love’s greatest war
that was never worth
you were never worth fighting for
dying living dying living dying everyday
living dying living dying living everyday
you think you are a poet
in your eyes you are a star
who lives through a fantasy of rising above
you think you’re a victim
but you live as a drunk
that has never sacrificed that has never loved
you think you are tragic but i know you are lost
you have walked the fault lines
and you have crossed them all
this world doesn’t fight you you fight yourself
thinking we fail you you fail yourself
she is at the end chasing her own fading light
running from her shadow in the name of living
searched for worth in the lust of men
paid in blood in different beds
mistaking sex for true love
they never meant a thing
her addiction brought her a world
of coward boys and of cheater girls
looking for an easy way out of being ordinary
so she boarded their sinking ship
and crossed their red needle sea
drowning truth to live her lie
that she was ordinary
in her fading shadow
in new day dreams a promise gives way
to a star struck death and a gold disease
a hollywood end for a once great man
who found death on his knees
cashed in crashed and burned
sore sour sore
our eagles become our vultures
i’ve searched with pen and paper
i search to show you
just how far i broke from myself
in the name of fear and doubt
in a better world there would be a better me
without the chase that won’t leave me be

let me live
leave me be
let me live
leave me

I have bled and I have given
the longest of rivers and the longest of ropes
And you're not grasping
and my light is sinking on the horizon
Knee deep among your wreckage and uncertainty
with anguish my crown and heartbreak my throne
I lay claim to this day
No love, no hope
I've lost count of the second chances
I lay claim to this day
No love, no hope

Highway Robbery
You'd never imagine us bringing a loaded gun to the ballroom
this party's about to kick off
tonight is the wrong night
the devil's own are only starting up
the first round of the fight
so hang on tight dear mother
the needle is jabbing the womb draw back and release this child of disease
this mob is a riot the outlaw youth are only emptying the first round of the night 'cause everything's not alright
I suppose you thought you had our hands behind our backs wool over our eyes now your pulse is in my palm and you stand hands to mouth wearing your disguise it's pretty apparent this boy is a curse the christ of the moment
so blow him away hey come on and take the new number if you're next in line
then kid I got a really big fucking surprise there won't be a next time
