Bits and pieces from all over that are very clever and/or inspiring.

Hey Triond. Just wanna share a few of  favorites. Here goes.

Thursday: Running From The Rain

“When it reaches the end of the line.
I see myself reflected in broken glass
as the gates come crashing down.
there is blood on the tracks, tonight,
and rust inside our veins…
will it ache every time I hear the storm running behind me?”

Thursday: Concealer

“With fists raised high in tightened knots
The room explodes and now this blood is on your hands
And there is no time for a second chance
To paint my face with blood and tears and cover up
In an open book that no one reads
A misspelled word that no one knows”

Thursday: Telegraph Avenue Kiss

“she spins silver strings in the dark
with metal teeth that ring in her heart
when the cover drops the world just fades away, away, away
from her, waiting, waiting, waiting for her to say it:
K-I-S-S-I’m in distress,
I need someone to spell it out:
you know our love’s not unconditional.”

Glassjaw: Hotel of The White Locust

“Combine the throb within my head
With the rhythm of my fucking feet
Say a novena for all those lost
And read the bloodstains on the sheets
I’ve whored myself for less than this
And I’ve prayed to appear to fed
As I knelt on my pillow God
I clenched my fucking fists and banged my head”

Glassjaw: Radio Cambodia

“It’s a shame that our messiahs
move their pawns from different mountains
And we’re left to dance these bodies ’round the fountain.
If a leader preaches worship to the sheep within the valley,
Who’ll be riding in a tank that says “just married”?”

Glassjaw: Trailer Park Jesus

“It was quite a dirty habit,
When the last thing I do,
Has a swine slewn,
Down martyr avenue.
Am I driftwood or hosana?
A knee-deep in disease.
I’m the body
Laid a 9 on my sleeve.”

    nice lyrics. I thought those are emo bands, not post-hardcore or something
