LET IT GO
AND SO TO FADE AWAY
WALK AWAY
(AND SO IT WAS ON THE WARM TAR IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, GREY AND STICKY LIKE A WAD
OF GUM NEVER CHEWED BUT IN A MALFORMED BALL, PICKED UP WITH GLOVE AND THROWN
AWAY)
AND WHO WOULD BELIEVE THAT THE DISABLED CAN BE SOMEONE ELSE ENTIRELY BEFORE
YOU NEXT TO YOU AND YET AGAIN, BACK TO BEING DISABLED IN FRONT OF YOU ALL
OVER AGAIN. KNOWING NOT THAT THE DISABLED ARE ONE IN THE SAME, LIKE A
BOUNTIFUL CHAMELEON IN A VERY LIFE LIKE GAME. REALIZATION OF SELF BEFORE
YOU, AMAZING WHAT THE INNOCENT CAN DO. SIN FOR SAFETY SIN FOR IT IS A MUST,
SIN FOR THE BREAKDOWN SO YOU WILL GO BUST. ANOTHER COLA SANS THE FIRST
WORD, ANOTHER STRAW TO BREAK A LAW OH HOW ABSURD. ANOTHER JOKE WITH A
JUDGE, NUDE IN HIS CHAMBER AND A WINK AND NUDGE. THE SUCKING OF A LIFETIME
TO RECEIVE A LIFES DESIGN, MEANWHILE THE SANE IS DEEMED UNSTABLE FOR IT WAS
HIS OWN MINDS DESIGN. THE LAUGHTER COMES FROM SILENCE TO A ROAR, IT WAS
MERELY A JOKE THIS IS LIFE, WHAT IT IS FOR? YOU TOO, TELL ME DO YOU BELIEVE
THE BEARANCE OF THE BODY SOUL AND MIND TO BRING DOWN AND DESTROY THE KILLER
HEROINE, HERO, THE DRUG WITH VOICE, THE BODIES WITHERED AS THE DEVILS
REJOICE. TAKE MY WIFE, TAKE ME TOO, TAKE YOURSELF TO BE RID OF THE THINGS
WE DO. TAUNTING WORDS THEY MAY SEEM, NO MICROPHONE OR SPEAKER REMAINS TO BE
SEEN. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO AN INDIAN NATION. WE'RE ALL IN A TEEPEE IN
THIS LIFE WE ARE FACIN'. MAKING LOVE IN PRIVACY WITHIN THE ROOM OF FOUR
WALLS. YOU'RE ALL HERE WITH US NOT PHYSICALLY AT ALL. INSANITY HE HEARS
VOICES AH BUT ITS TECHNOLOGY AND SPIRIT TOGETHER LIKE DRIED GLUE. A CLOSER
REALIZATION IN PUBLIC YET PRIVATE BETWEEN US AND YOU. YOU TOO, DO YOU LIVE
LIKE WE DO. AS IT IS THE WORDS I WROTE WERE BUT A MESSAGE OF THE REFUSAL OF
HOPE. HOPE THAT YESTERDAY AS LIFES SEED WAS BLOWN IN THE FACE WILL NOT
OCCUR AGAIN IN THIS LIFE RACE WITH SOMEONE ELSE IN MY PLACE. YOU'LL DO
ANYTHING TO GET WHAT YOU WANT. I CONSIDER IT THAT YOU ARE JUST AS BAD AS I,
CONSIDER IT A TAUNT. IN THE NAME OF PEACE, IN THE NAME OF HOPE, WITHIN
THESE FOUR WALLS, I DO MERELY COPE. SO CLOSE TO THE INHIBITIONLESS, THE
BLISS FROM THE PLEASURE AND PAIN. ONE MORE MOMENT TO THE PLACES OF THE
SANE. ONE MORE ALLOWANCE OF AN ACT OF LUST AND LOVE, CLOSER TO THE OPENINGS
OF ALL THAT IS LOVE. AH BUT SHUT OUT FOR IN THE MIND THE YELLOW LINE HAD
APPEARED FOR YOUR VOICE OUT OF NOWHERE REACHED MYSELF IN THIS TIME. WHO
WOULD BELIEVE WHAT THE DISABLED CAN DO. MOVE THE PROVERBIAL MOUNTAIN,
GLORIFIED DESTRUCTION THAT IS SO DEARLY DUE. COME OVER HERE AND REACH
BETWEEN MY PLACE GIVE ME THE PLEASURE IN MY MIND THAT I FACE. A MAGNETISM,
A PULL A REACH FOR THE UNATTAINED. BENT OVER OR STRAIGHT UP, IT MATTERS
ALL THE SAME. ANOTHER BREACH IN THE LAWS WE HAVE MADE. YOU'RE SURE AS SHIT
GOING TO LET IN THE BANNED JUST FOR THIS GAME. ALAS I STATE YET WHAT FOR,
NO NOT AGAIN, YESTERDAY SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT REPEATED ONCE MORE. MAKE ANY
SENSE, MUST I BEAT IT INTO YOU, LAWMAN WHO THE HELL LET YOU DO THE THINGS
YOU DO. I DID WAS STATED BUT NOT BY YOU. IT IS YOUR DESIGN, WHOM I SIT NEXT
TO. SLOWLY WE'LL REACH WHEREVER WE ARE BOUND. IF YOU'D NOT DO AGAIN THE
DONE YESTERDAY, QUICKER OUR DESTINIES WILL BE FOUND. I'LL NOT CHANGE OR
REARRANGE THE SAME IN THIS AGE. THE SAME SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT YES I'M SANE.
YOU THINK WHAT IS IN MY MIND IS WHAT I WANT. AH BUT IT IS NOT MY CHOICE THE
THINGS THAT YOU DO. SO DON'T TELL ME THE ORDERS CAME FROM ME TO YOU.
LETTING SOMEONE ELSE IN THE DOOR, A BANNED LIFER IT IS TRUE, NOT MY WANT, IT
IS THE WANT OF YOU. AH BUT THAT CHANGE YOU WANT IN ME TO, FOR IT IS JUST
LIKE MYSELF TO WANT TO LIVE LIKE YOU. YES YOU TOO.
LET IT GO
AND SO TO FADE AWAY
WALK AWAY.
(AND SO IT IS THAT EVEN THOUGH WE ARE LIVING MATERIALISTICALLY, WITHOUT ALL
THAT, WE ARE REALLY ONE IN THE SAME INDIVIDUALLY WITH EVERYTHING AND NOTHING
TO GAIN).

now the lyrics to "miracle drug"
Miracle Drug
I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there...
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit...
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time...will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love...
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug
God I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger
You took me in"
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug
Miracle, miracle drug

"mercy" by melissa etheridge
Well I have lived ten years plus ten
And ten and ten again
I have seen too much to pretend
Then you wanted to come in
I have survived all of the lies
They made me wise
The locks and walls and the peace it buys
Still when I look into your eyes
It's a surprise when you say
It's gonna be all right
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
Let it all go away
Oh mercy mercy baby
What do you want from me
Well I plead mercy mercy baby
I do not know what this all means
It's been awhile since I been stylin'
In just my jacket and my jeans
It hurts to walk it hurts to talk
It hurts to think about it
Shout about it
Could I be sure without a doubt
That you could never live without me
I want to fall in you crawl in you
Surrender all in you now
Could I be sure in you pure in you
Finding the cure in you
Now I plead have mercy on me
Now I am kneeling at the alter
In the temple of your eyes
And I am asking for a miracle
I have been too long paralyzed
When you say get up and stand up
And climb the rope of hope
And open up again
Oh the peace you say is promised me
Seems too much to comprehend
"mercy" by u2
I was drinking some wine and it turned to blood
What's the use of religion if you're any good?
I know I'm weed killer honey and you're sugar
If you're the prosecution, I'd get away with murder
If you were ice, I'm water
And with your telescope, I can see further
We're binary code, a one and a zero
You wanted violins and you got Nero
You're gravity, searching for the ground
You're silence, searching for a sound
Your heart is aching, your heart is my home
It's fascinating, I know I'll never be alone
But I'm ripping the stitches
We've got two minutes to run
I'm picking the dangers
Of someone else's love
Loves hears when I die
Love puts the blue back in my eye
Love will come again
I'll be gone again ... again
If you're hungry, baby let me feed it
If your heart is full, baby let me bleed it
And happiness is for those who don't really need it
You love me too much, you always love me too much
When I was ripping the stitches
We've got two minutes to run
I'm picking the dangers
Of someone else's luck
Love hears when I die
Love puts the blue back in my eye
Love has come again
I am gone again
Love's got to be with the weak
Only then love gets a chance to speak
Love will come again
I'll be gone again ... again
I ... I can't escape myself
I hear you tall
Feeling nothing, I feel nothing, feel
I can hear someone
Feel nothing
I can hear someone
Feel nothing
Love is come again
I am gone again
Love is the end of history
The enemy of misery
Love has come again
I am gone again
Love is justice, a charity
Love brings with it a clarity
Love is come again
I'm alive again ... alive
I am alive, baby I'm born again and again and again and again and again and
again and again ...
