Light and Fast...

Butch Walker
Cigarette Love Song

I know you're not asleep
I can feel you moving over there
You've been playing with the seam
In your worn out underwear
My lips are raw as hell
From biting on them just to stay awake
It's not like I'm gonna need them, you won't be around
To see them bleed and break

Chorus:
All that I do, comes back to you
So I'll just think about you
'til there's nothing in my head
All I can do, is try not to screw this up again
And just be friends, I'd rather be dead

I drove out of east Atlanta
With a headache the size of my car
I called to say I was okay anyway
'Cause I know how you are
I'm like a movie without an ending
You know I've got nowhere to go
And it makes me wanna throw up
To see you wanna give up
More than you'll ever know

(Chorus)
Bridge:
Everything's supposed to have a happy ending
But the record keeps skipping and the needle keeps bending
Like the road I'm driving to the bridge that has no end
I wanna take back everything that I've broken
But the bridges behind me are burning and smokin'
I guess this is the end
(Chorus)

Why Not?!!?!?

"The Best Thing That You Never Had"


Hello how you doing?
What's it like to ruin all my self esteem
Let me blow off some steam
For 5 years I've waited,
So why am I jaded to get back at you
What makes it cool

When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had

And it seems like a loss somehow
My heart got lost on the way to my head
And my brain cells are dead
And the craziness shows
Now I start to go when the green turns to red
And I should be dead

When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
While my heart got shattered like romantic roadkill
My heart is all splattered your ego got fatter
And I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had

Like the toilet seat never got lifted
And I pissed on your confidence
When you weren't around, how can that be?
Don't turn this around
You were the one
Who drove my ass right to the ground

When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad, and I can't like

Someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
While my heart got shattered like romantic roadkill
My heart is all splattered your ego got fatter
And I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
You broke this down
The best thing, the best thing,
The best thing that you never had

You never had...

Homenagem...

A você pai...
Que mesmo não significando "Deus" na boca de uma criança
Na minha significava Anjo da Guarda.

E eu sei que você continua sendo.

Feliz dia dos Pais, onde quer que você esteja.

In Your Dreams With Me...

I'm watchin' you, I'm wantin' you, but you turn away

I'd crawl through broken glass to you, but it wouldn't pay

You take me for a fool, but if you only knew

What I do in my dreams with you

You're so cold and critical, and baby that's too bad

So my reality will have to come to me in my dreams

I know that you belong to me every night, you suddenly appear in my eyes

It happens when I sleep, it isn't right, what I do in my dreams with you

It isn't right what I do in my dreams with you

I love the way you come to me every night

My fantasies are real, and they never lie

If you only knew, what I do in my dreams with you, yeah

It isn't right, lord knows that it isn't right

The world can make you cynical, with all it's love and pain

But I don't have to carry the weight of the world

Baby don't wake me, let me take you on an endless journey

We touch, and the softest kiss explodes with lust, yeah

It's real, you can't deny the heat you feel

And if I die before I wake, baby, that's all right

I love the way you come to me every night

My fantasies are real, and they never lie

If you only knew, what I do in my dreams with you, yeah

It isn't right, lord knows that it isn't right

No Light

Nada ilumina uma noite como um sorriso...

Que se apaga com a simples presença do medo...

Quebramos tudo que ilumina a boca, que da a luz às palavras...

Não é apenas dizer "eu te amo",

É dizer "eu te respeito", "eu te aceito", "seja quem você realmente é".

Cansei de ver a luz se apagar.

Mesmo que se troque a lâmpada, a hora escura sempre será.

Mas o tempo passa.

E assim como a manhã,

E se não há a lâmpada.

Há o dia...

Mas há gente que sempre alerta: há também a noite.

Que deveria pertencer aos amantes...

Mesmo com a luz apagada.

Calada

 

Shecat...

Say goodnight
She waits for me to
Put out the light
Lay there still
She waits to break my will

Yes, if I know the truth about you...
shecat...

And in the daylight
A blackbird makes a violent sight
And when she is done
She sleeps beside the wild

Yes, if I know the truth about you...

shecat...
