FIGMENTS

FIGMENTS


I hate myself so much
but I hate you that much more
nothing you say makes it any better
most of the time you say nothing

I want to just fucking slip away
I want to crawl on my belly like you
snakes slither when they lie
you lie as you crawl up to me

it’s never for me
always about you
when’s then last time you actually asked me how I was
you never ask you never cared

I don’t want to be with you
I don’t want anyone with you
I don’t want anyone with me
you never care who’s with you

bright flash the room’s exploding
you shatter inside my head
my heart breaks from all the flying glass
I bleed gasoline
ignite me and burn with me
I feel how little you care for me
I know how little you are to me
I could never trust you
I will never trust you
I could never hurt you
I wish that I could hate you

so much wasted time in this world
blown to pieces, this world
my sinful imperfect little world
the Death Star is tracking me

so how did you manage
how did you pull it off
how many lies did you tell
how many did you hurt
how many will you hurt
how many will wish they were dead
like me
guess who killed me?

PASSIVE

This song fits my life at times. Lots of the time actually. Anyway...




PASSIVE - A PERFECT CIRCLE

Dead as dead can be
My doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him
Never the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up and face me
Don't play dead 'cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

Leaning over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
Of what you could and might have been
It's your aim and your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up
(Why can’t you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Don’t play dead)
'Cause maybe
(Because maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I’ll walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

Maybe you're better off this way (×3)
You're better off this (×2)
Maybe you're better off...

Wake up
(Why can't you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Don’t play dead)
'Cause maybe
(Because maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I’ll walk away and say
You fucking disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way!

Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)
I know that you can hear this
(GO!)
Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)

Why can't you turn and face me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn and face me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn and face me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(GO!)
You fucking disappoint me

Passive-aggressive bullshit... (×12)

TENDER MOMENTS IN LITERATURE

Well, well, well, now we know why daddy ran off with the whore. Mommy must be a republican because she licks Bush. If that wasn't Little Jimmy's mommy and he was about 20 years older, we'd have the makings to a damn fine three-way skin flick.

GREAT MOMENTS IN LITERATURE

Ahhh, memories....I remember Grandma reading this to me. She said it was the best way to explain what happened to Mommy and Daddy. Haven't seen Daddy since I was four, he works in a corn factory in Mexico. Mommy does the 2:15 am show down in Taterknob. It's a hoot, everybody goes home with a smile on their face and a strut in their stride.

LITERARY CORNER

Now just where in the hell was this when I was growing up? I can see it now. Paddington gets tanked, buys a whore, contracts a venereal disease, goes to the clinic, gets checked out, then decides to write a book about the experience.

SCREAM FOR ME, OWENSBORO!!!

What can I say, I've been a fan of Iron Maiden for 23 years now. This past Tuesday they put out yet another album and, of course, I had to buy it. So far, after hearing it in it's entirety two times, I think it's a damn good album. Their last release, Dance of Death, just really didn't do much for me. There was a song or two that wasn't bad but I thought that over all, it pretty much sucked. So I'm really glad this one didn't let me down.

I've followed this band for a long time and while they'll never release anything like Piece of Mind(1983) again, the boys can still write some cool shit. I'm really pleased with this album. After their last album, I was kind of apprehensive about buying this new one. I'm really surprised at how much I like it. I would go through track by track but I can save time and say that I actually like all ten songs. Very different stuff from the guys this time. Two thumbs up! If you're into Iron Maiden at all, I suggest picking it up. Thank you, now back to your regularly scheduled program.

GOTCHA!!!

A picture so nice, I'll use it twice. Come on, admit it! You know you looked!!
