>why cant i

It doesn't even make sense but:

Slow it down! Song is sacred!
And brother, you're a hunter
And you're right at home
And in the morning light
I'll hold my ashtray tight
I could take it down
And you can't take it down

>so you go and you stand on your own

Damn, why she shit up on my shit
Damn, she shitted on my dick
Damn, why she shit up on my shit
Damn, she was riding and started farting
I was like "what the fuck is you farting"
She said "nah bitch why you lying"
Then I seen drops coming out her ass
Damn she farted on my dick
Damn then she shitted
Damn that's a combo

All of A Crow Looked At Me
>Crying on the logging roads with your ashes in a jar
>Thinking about the things I'll tell you
>When you get back from wherever it is that you've gone
>But then I remember death is real

Dont get any big ideas
Theyre not gonna happen

You paint yourself white
and fill up with noise
there will be something missing

Youll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
I'm getting older too

It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky

In the cold, in the yard we saw sounds tore apart
and we were freaked out by the signs of a bloody final fight
We were worked up with the fear that you had disappeared and left no note
but we found your note at dawn
So this is for the people celebrating evil songs:
We're going back, back, back, back, back, back to the laws!
Is it wrong to remind people having a good time
that their groove isn't tight and it's showing?

>But I'm sick of spending these lonely nights
>Training myself not to care

in your heart there's a spark that just screams
For a lover to bring a child to your chest that could lay as you sleep
And love all you have left like your boy used to be
Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet

Blister please with those wings in your spine
Love to be with a brother of mine
How he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth
In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep wrapped in boxes so tight
Sounding only at night as you sleep

Should I tear my eyes out now?
Everything I see returns to you somehow
Should I tear my heart out now?
Everything I feel returns to you somehow
I want to save you from your sorrow

I had a friend kill himself last year, and just played this on repeat the day after. Still hurts, if I'm being honest. I kind of feel pathetic for dwelling on it so much, it's not like it makes a difference.

>I've always been alone
>A fool believes he's clever
>Don't you wanna go into the hollow?
>I won't go alone
>Aren't you gonna follow?

I know it's cliche but

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired and unhappy
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises

>I'm lost at sea
>Don't bother me
>I've lost my way
>I've lost my way

I couldn't watch you wishing for something
That seemed more impossible by the day
Anytime I saw your expression
I only seemed to run farther away
I never realized just how hard it was for a person like me to do
Obsessed with thoughts that deform
Held on by hope too well worn
Crippled because of dreams that eclipse reality
Crashing into truths we don't perceive
We don't perceive
I couldn't hold on to the things that mattered to you
It was my big mistake
Thinking there were two roads to take

not even the hardest feels from that album lad

Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people, clinging on to bottles
When it comes it's so, so, disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel
One day, I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground

As a math PhD student, the words get to me. Everyone you know from outside the program sees you as "whoa smart math guy" and you sort of start to buy into it and enjoy the validation.

I stood over grandpa in his hospital bed
He pulled me close and told me "Kid, I've never been so scared."
I whispered softly, "Close your eyes and it will be okay.

The Overcoat kills me

I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
Don't want no one to ache
Oh to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh to be free and inhuman
Some may say I love to play
When the chance is there to take
I'm moppin' up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I'm packin' up the pots
Too many cooks in the kitchen
Some may say I love to let a good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
Seems I've tripped and I've fallen

I had to prove that I could make it alone But that's not me
I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now But that's not me

I'm a little bit scared Cause I haven't been home in a long time

My folks when I wrote them Told 'em what I was up to said that's not me

I went through all kinds of changes Took a look at myself and said that's not me
I miss my pad and the places I've known
And every night as I lay there alone I will dream

I once had a dream So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty

Hey it's me
I just got off the train
A frightening place
The faces are concrete grey
And I'm wondering, should I turn around?
Buy another ticket
Panic is coming on strong
So cold, from the inside out
No great drama, message coming in
In the oh-so-smug
Glassy eyed light of day
Glassy eyed light of day

Where the path trails off
And heads down the mountain
Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads
I don't really care
And the path trails off
And heads down a mountain
Through the dry bush, I don't know where it leads
I don't really care

I feel this love to the core

Any lyrics about aging or the inevitability of death get to me, even if they're really corny. My parents had me in their late 40s and now they're both almost 80. I know they're going to die soon. I honestly have no clue how I'm going to cope with it.

I really like their s/t, and talon of the hawk is pretty amazing too.
Also, talon of the hawk has Lone star, which has to be one of my favorite tunes from them.

I heard of a saint who had loved you,
so I studied all night in his school.
He taught that the duty of lovers
is to tarnish the golden rule.
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
he drowned himself in the pool.
His body is gone but back here on the lawn
his spirit continues to drool.

>Sweet thing, I watch you
>Burn so fast it scares me
>Mind games don't leave me
>I've come so far don't lose me
>It matters where you are

I'm not entirely sure what it's supposed to be about, but it gets me everytime

That line gets me every fucking time.

My bro left today, fuck

Still some of the best fucking rap lyrics ever

There's a mix by WhiteLotus that mixes Suicidal Thoughts with Kanye's Runaway, and it is one of my favorite things to jam to when I'm writing

I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies

I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy

When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy

I’m light as a feather
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud
Frightened by my feelings
I only wanna be a relief

No, I’m not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I wanna believe

When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Be my rest, be my fantasy
Be my rest, be my fantasy

I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should have wrote a letter
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling

Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Don’t back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I’m a fool in the fetter (fool in the fetter)
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me

Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter (brother had a daughter)
The beauty that she brings, illumination (illumination)
Illumination

Hey, somebody besides me actually listens to The Front Bottoms

For me it's probably,

>I totally get you, I was a birdcage
>And you were meant to fly

Maybe I should just pack up and run away again
Let you forget that you were once my friend
Then watch another go on and do better, without me
also
I don't want to be awake again
I spend my days with my head in my hands
If I go outside, I'll fall apart
I am mostly scared by passing time
The world it seems gets more unkind
Inevitable tragedies will soon be mine

pleb

I live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement

Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
For the folks back home

Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets

They're all uptight
Uptight..

And the earth looked at me and said "wasn't that fun?"
And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone"
And without even thinking cast me into space
But before she did that she wiped off my own face
She said better luck next time don't worry so much
Without ears I couldn't hear I could just feel the touch

PUT THE PUSSY IN A SARCOPHAGUS

K, it's your ride.
Get your petals out and lay them in the aisle
Pretend your garden grows and it's your day to wed.
We found your man, he's drinking up, he's all-American.
And he'll drive.
He's volunteered with grace to end your life,
We'll tidy up,
It's sad to hope, but leave your shell to us,
You explode,
You firefly, you tiny boat with oars,
Feather oars. The world tilts back and poison pours.
And so, you satellite.
You tidal wave, you big surprise.
And I one more night to be your mother.

I know your secrets nigga
Mood swings is frequent nigga
I know depression is restin' on your heart for two reasons nigga
I know you and a couple block boys ain't been speakin' nigga
Y'all damn near beefin', I seen it and you're the reason nigga
And if this bottle could talk *gulp* I cry myself to sleep
Bitch everything is your fault
Faults breakin' to pieces, earthquakes on every weekend
Because you shook as soon as you knew confinement was needed
I know your secrets, don't let me tell them to the world

Honestly a pretty good album despite the memes

>Stayed up all night
>Lightning bugs so bright
>And the air turned cold and black
>A turtle trapped on its back
>And waiting for nothing
>Waiting for nothing
>I’m waiting for nothing
>I’m waiting for nothing
>Rising from the earth
>Measuring my worth
>And the fog is thick and wet
>Gonna get worse I bet
>I’m waiting for nothing
>Waiting for nothing
>I’m waiting for nothing
>I’m waiting for nothing

>Stop trusting in demons
>you're scattered ever lonely buddy but so full of love

>I need your love inside of mine like I could die

>Surely there's no substitute for company
>My mom's ripping off her hands
>One flake at a time
>All her children left the house and left her all alone
>But like she'd tell me it gets better
>Just wait and you'll see
>Wait and you'll see

>I remember my childhood room with these fluorescent posters and a blacklight
>And I'd burn candles and incense all night
>But Dad would say, "Mark, you're gonna burn the house down."
>I thought he was paranoid then
>But I fully understand him now

>>72249914
I thought this was one of the skits from The College Dropout for a second

>Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head, I'm spinning, oh,
>I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away
>And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything
>All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
>All the love gone bad turned my world to black
>Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be... yeah...
>I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
>I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky,
>But why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?

Wicker wishes hold the flames at bay
No water for the martyr
Oh, what a shame
Progress is a riddle of delays
Serendipitously arranged
Watch the embers wither into grey
And the filament fades
Oh, and the filament fades

It is the cost for causing choruses
To erupt in front of stages in the dark
It is the cure between the words and what we thought we heard as such
Cleverness and sleight of tongue

Ordinarily we'd find a better fit
And organize the messages' intent
With words and scenes, insinuations
Emotional manipulation throughout
For no good reason I'd deceive you all
Just to get the point across

I've been a hypocrite and
I'm certain I have lied
I have been to nothingness and
Barely bothered to survive
I laughed when your levee broke to
Shed tears when nobody rose to say:
"It's Just a Ride"

Wearing the weight of the words we never spoke of
Turning the weathered side to read their bones
The trap that was set was flawed at best
The trap that was set was flawed
Programmed to make ghosts of all of us

Oh time
Gathering us with open arms
To feed these hungry birds of war
Splitting the line between two sides but I am neither one

Usher the windblown into the silos - dead
Treated like cattle while we listen for what's next
Secretly we'll take it's pulse
Dropping from the eaves
Tourniquet the pace while the rhythm bleeds

Oh time
Flattering us to see ourselves as something more than we define
Where does it leave us when we cry it's not any skin of mine
Only locked in these days as our wonder dissipates
How did we wait so long to call out

Hello?

Don't you know we know you know?
Don't you know?

You were brave with a free-talking mind
And a voice that is still a cry for life
And no matter what we want
We want to be loved
Yes we were here
We were afraid
We paid them for the right to commit our own ego suicide
But I believe it's just a ride

>But how, could I have done it without you though
>You was the big bro I never ever had you know?
>Why you had to go? It hurt me inside
>I feel guilty walking around outside with false pride
>If only we could vibe like, one more time
>Hear one more line or share one more rhyme
>Even show me one more sign of destiny itself would be fine
>But there's no turning back the, hands of time
>Or delayin' the plans of your mastermind
>So I hope you came across of what you had to find
>And watch over the ones you once loved
>You was my nigga when push came to shove, one love

Sit and watch the embers, claw marks on the sleeve
I really don't want to leave, I really don't want to leave
I realize there are no answers to rid me of this cancer
Still I really gotta leave, see I really gotta leave
Float in a sea of emotions, taken over by fatigue
I told you I had to leave, I told you I had to leave
Hold my hand in heaven, count the heartbeats and count the seconds
I really don't want to leave, I really don't want to leave

Sit and watch the embers, claw marks on the sleeve
I really don't want to leave, I really don't want to leave
I realize there are no answers to rid me of this cancer
Still I really gotta leave, see I really gotta leave
Drown in a sea of emotions, taken over by fatigue
I told you I had to leave, I told you I had to leave
Hold my hand in heaven, count the heartbeats and count the seconds
I really don't want to leave, I really don't want to leave

I told you I had to leave
I told you I had to leave
I'm happy when I'm alone

>sometimes I don't thrill you
>sometimes I think I'll kill you
>just don't let me fuck up, will you?
>'cause when I need a friend, it's still you

Holy shit I completely forgot about war anus

All the nights I don't die for you
Wouldn't believe how many nights I ain't died for you
On GP
Not that I care, I'd be a liar
If I sat here claiming I'd exit in a minute
But I can't say I wouldn't I have my limits
All the nights I don't die for you
Wouldn't believe how many nights I ain't died for you
On GP
Not that I care, I'd be a liar
If I sat here claiming I'd exit in a minute
But I can't say I wouldn't I have my limit
All the nights I don't die

And when we break we'll wait for our miracle
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies
And when we break we'll wait for our miracle
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life

>No you ain't shit, you say you love them, I know you don't mean it
>I know you're irresponsible, selfish, in denial, can't help it
>Your trials and tribulations a burden, everyone felt it
>Everyone heard it, multiple shots, corners cryin' out
>You was deserted, where was your antennas again?
>Where was your presence, where was your support that you pretend?
>You ain’t no brother, you ain’t no disciple, you ain’t no friend
...
>Then he died, God himself will say "you fuckin' failed"
>You ain't try
Those two verses hit hard.

I love you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply.
'Cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.

Sleepless child
There is so little time
Your eyes say yes
But you don't say yes
I wish that you were mine
You say it will be harder in the morning
I wait for you to say "just go"
Your hands held mine, so few hours
And I'm not a child anymore
I'm not a child anymore
I'm tall enough
To reach for the stars
I'm old enough
To love you from afar
To trusting... yes?
But then women usually are
I will do as I'm told
Even if I never hold you again

>Micheline, Micheline, Micheline
>She wanted love like anyone else

>And if I seem to be afraid,
>to live the life that I have made in song.
>It's just that I've been losing, so long

>You made me forget myself
>I thought I was someone else
>Someone good

I've seen into space, shaken hands with the stars
And the feeling's great when you're landing on Mars
Dreamy and weightless in ambient dark
Only hearing the sweetness of transient harps

Did you get enough love, my little dove?
Why do you cry?
and I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best
though it never felt right
my little Versailles.

true love waits

>whole song

I went to see a friend tonight
Was very late when I walked in
My talking as it rambled
Revealed suspicious reasoning
The visit seemed to darken him
I came in as bright
As a neon light
And I burned out
Right there before him
I told him these things
I'm telling you now
Watched them buckle up
In his brow
When you dig down deep
You lose good sleep
And it makes you
Heavy company
I will always love you
Hands alike
Magnet and iron
The souls

ONE LOOK IN THE MIRROR

YOU SEEM COLDER

THAN YOU DID LAST YEAR

>>72256842
THE HOPE THAT YOU PUT IN

IT AIN'T NEVER COMIN' BACK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpGKgKYr7FQ

what started as dessert back at your house
ended on the couch
hours at your mouth
sunday's on our hands
we followed were it led
I followed you to bed
we started secret plans
forward 7 months: I've only seen you once
I never call on time
trying to seem tough
I said one visit's enough
enough to keep you mine
(of course it wasn't)
we were done by June

>So it's not loaded stadiums or ballparks
>And we're not kids on swingsets on the blacktop
>And I thought at fifteen that I'd have it down by sixteen
>And twenty-four keeps breathing in my face

"The most strangest thing today
some footprints in abandoned pathways
beneath the gutters and undergrowth
something stirring again

You were a single red blood cell
But I lost you in this knot of capilliaries
But you were bringing me oxygen
When I needed it most in the smoke

You were always

As far as Mongolia
As close as my clothes
Your presence pervading
but it still never shows
As close as the answer
that I never quite know
I don't quite remember
The distance insidious
as soft as a blow
Your shadow is with me
wherever I go
It's on the tip of my tongue
but still I never quite know
I don't quite remember

Lying awake in my hospital room
Silas Creek Parkway is my only view
And the doctor just came by
And told me the news
I need a second opinion
I don't believe that it's true

Everyone I love is going to die
And I will die as well
I think about this before I sleep
And have since I was a child

In my life will I make a difference?
In my death will I be missed?
Will I be granted some sort of an afterlife
Or will I just cease to exist?

This fear makes me feel so naive
I wish that I could just accept
But I'm chilled by the redundancy of
Thoughts collected, but not kept

Maybe I'm still a stupid little boy
Too weak to understand what will come
I want to find peace of mind
Maybe no mind is the answer to that conundrum

Oh, I want to be a baby again
Oh, I want pure thoughts in my head
Oh, I want to be a baby again
Oh, I want to forget

I was puzzled by his feelings of inadequacy. Then I saw the track marks when he pulled back on his sleeve. Yeah, my homie got a habit it seems. I've been down the same road so i'ma put it on front street. Then he stepped back like he wanted to punch me. Told him "sit down, it's been a minute since we hung out." and I apologize for bringing up the fact that he was strung out.

Caught me off guard and I know that life hard, but i'd really hate to see a homie in the graveyard. All I want to do is see my people live large, I always try to see my people better than they are. He told me he would clean up, said it was a promise. Looked me in the eye to imply that he was honest, but I know that I would lie too back when I was on it, so even when I nodded I was feeling broken hearted. He a homie though regardless, so i know i've got to trust him. Told him I wont bring it up in anymore discussions, and I hit him with some words, probly about a dozen. He told me he was staying with his auntie and his cousin. Saw that bitch later, she told me that he wasn't. Said that if she saw him she would snitch him to the government. Said he on some thot shit, she aint even love him. I was buggin', I know he's on the needle but how she talking hopeless? She told me he was evil and didn't have emotions, found his babies with their throats slit, and he's the culprit. I'm like "Oh shit, step back" How she go against blood like that? That's the homie from the way back. Looking to the stars, what the fuck would make you say that? Nah love, I can't even play that.

It's hard to light a smoke when you're trying to breath, because deep down I know she aint lying to me.

Damn, why she shit up on my shit
Damn, she shitted on my dick
Damn, why she shit up on my shit
Damn, she was riding and started farting
I was like "what the fuck is you farting"
She said "nah bitch why you lying"
Then I seen drops coming out her ass
Damn she farted on my dick
Damn then she shitted
Damn that's a combo

This song is way too relatable with what i am going through right now

Elliot smith - between the bars

Drink up, baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do, you won't but you might
The potential you'll be, that you'll never see
The promises you'll only make

Drink up with me now and forget all about
The pressure of days, do what I say
And I'll make you okay and drive them away
The images stuck in your head

[Chorus]
People you've been before that you
Don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

[Verse 2]
Drink up, baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again, between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there, with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught

Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot

People you've been before that you
Don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

>Cut off the arms
>Cut off the legs
>Cut off the head
>Get rid of the body
>Get rid of the body
>Heartache to heartache
>Heartache to heartache
>Job to job
>Dollar to dollar

And we won't be breathing in that same sun again
None of this will ever surface again
How we get older, how we forget about each other
And the angel falls to the sky
Raised and coiled she blessed this day, she did
And it rings our ears
She rarely flies anymore, burden broke her wings
And I know this ghost, I have seen it before
Young it is the dying too fast, too soon, I'll be okay
The air thins in the quick and our lips move but we hear no sound
She whispered "Every time you justify, another good in you dies"
Your faith and fear seared me, and love and you pull all the right strings
"How we get older, how we forget about each other," she said
Entwined within the sadder of days

>half of what i say is meaningless
>but i say it just to reach you

Kek

We're getting nowhere,
Just as fast as we can
We'll get a nose full,
From our so called friends
We're getting no place,
Quick as we know how
We're getting nowhere,
But what will we do now?
