"Open Book"
May. 11th, 2008 08:43 pmEyes filled with fire
Wish I was a better liar
It hurts when it's happening, and so I cried
The winter is even colder
I guess that I could have told ya
That I am safe and warm from the hell inside
Come on!
Take me!
Come on!
Make me!
I am an open book
The drum beat of my heart is tribal
Oh, the sweet sound of survival
Shall serenade this forest for ever more
The sun would have to be frozen
For anything out there opposin'
Not to be left in it's own blood on the jungle floor
Come on!
Fight me!
Come on!
Strike me!
I am an open book
An open book
When I sing a song of peace
It soothes a savage beast
Even it understands that I understand, at least
So you mortals must keep this in mind
This is the way I'm designed
And I am no coward
So I'll only die one time.
Come on!
Feel me!
You'll have!
To kill me!
I am an open book, an open book
Come on!
Come on!

Portishead - [It's a Fire]--- Favourite song on the album, so far; that and "Run (I'm a Natural Disaster)"
David Bowie - [Dead Man Walking]--- There's something about this album that means a lot to me, in the lyrics, the words ont he page, and spoken and sung, but hearing them, with the music, I don't... I don't feel it as much. Certainly not as much as say, "Storm Coming," on St. Elsewhere. I don't know what's up with it, but some of these words mean a lot to me, but the songs, themselves... not so much.
Okay. Simpsons time.
