song endings

It’s deeper than you can breathe 
It’s farther than you could see 
It’s too much to ask of me 
It’s all in the glass you’ll see 
It’s deeper than you can breathe 
It’s all in the glass you’ll see 
It’s farther than we could be 
It’s deeper than you and me 
Frightened eyes

- Beach House

we live on a mountain
right at the top
there’s a beautiful view
from the top of the mountain
every morning i walk towards the edge
and throw little things off
like:
car-parts, bottles and cutlery
or whatever i find lying around

it’s become a habit 
a way
to start the day

i go through this 
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe up here with you

it’s real early morning
no-one is awake
i’m back at my cliff
still throwing things off
i listen to the sounds they make
on their way down
i follow with my eyes ‘til they crash
imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks

and when it lands
will my eyes
be closed or open?

i’ll go through all this
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe up here with you

Well I’m as cool as a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce
You’ve got the rhyme and reason but no cause
Well if you’re hot to trot you think you’re slicker than grease
I’ve got news for you crews you’ll be sucking like a leech

Bob Marley was a prophet for the freedom fight
If dancin’ prays to the Lord
Then I shall feel alright’ 
I’m feeling good to play a little music
Tears running down my face ‘cause I love to do it’

- MCA / Adam Yauch

If you can feel what I’m feeling then it’s a musical masterpiece
If you can hear what I’m dealing with then that’s cool at least
What’s running through my mind comes through in my walk
True feelings are shown from the way that I talk

Roving packs of elusive young become
Choke lore writers over boosted drums
In the terrifying face of a future tongue
Down down from a huntable surplus to one

To try to change the world I will plot and scheme.

I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death.

To all the mothers and sisters and the wives and the friends, I want to offer my love and respect to the end…

God only knows what I’d be without you.
