Theme: Music

You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get: you get away from me
Tell your gods I want to speak to their fathers
Stasis is what you've got, like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw
So pleased with ourselves for using so many verbs and nouns
Life handed us a paycheck, we said, 'we worked harder than this'
It's been agreed the whole world stinks so no one's taking showers anymore
I'll be beating my heart's recording for speeding
I got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over
I didn't know you kept track, I didn't know there was a score, but it looks like you're the winner and I ain't gonna play no more
When you get to the point, make sure that I'm still awake, okay?
One wing wasn't even enough to leave
Blame it on the web, but the spider's your problem now
It took so much effort not to make an effort
It takes a long time, but God dies too—but not before he'll stick it to you
You shouldn't have to ask, 'cause we are your real place

from the music of Modest Mouse

Theme: Music

Good news for people who love bad news
You told me about nowhere and it sounds like someplace I'd like to go
And I laugh all the way to hell
You had yourself a crazy lover, becoming frozen trying hard to forget her
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
I won't remember to remember to forget you forgot me
I'm gonna knock that look right off your face like life don't hold you no more mystery
I know I was a scout so I should've find a way out
Reminding you we used to be three and not just two
You can say what you want but don't act like you care, it takes more than one person to decide what's fair
I want a better place or just a better way to fall
Are you dead, or are you sleeping? (God, I sure hope you are dead)
And if it takes shit to make bliss, then I feel pretty blissfully
How can someone inconsistent mess up so consistently?
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth: if you go straight long enough you end up where you were

Theme: Music

Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes
The only thing worse than not knowing is you thinking that I don't know
Loaded words and loaded friends are loaded guns to our heads
Let's play this game called "when you catch fire"
I don't blame you for being you, but you can't blame me for hating it
Sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills
The only ring I want buried with me are the ones around my eyes
My head's in heaven, my soles are in hell; let's meet in the purgatory of my hips and get well
Got postcards from my former self saying, 'how you been?'
What a match—I'm half-doomed and you're semi-sweet
Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee?
If heaven’s grief brings hell’s rain, then I’d trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
Baby, we should have left our love in the gutter where we found it
Hope this is the last time, 'cause I'll never say no to you
I hate the way you say my name, like it's something secret

Theme: Music

If you say this makes you happy, then I'm not the only one lying
I don't care what you think as long as it's about me
When I said that I'd return to you, I meant more like a relapse
I want to scream 'I love you' from the top of my lungs, but I'm afraid that someone else will hear me
Too well-dressed for the witness stand
Figured on not figuring myself out
Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great
It's true romance is dead: I shot it in the chest and in the head
The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger
I got a lot of friends who are stars but some are just black holes
I love you in the same way there's a chapel in the hospital
Hell or glory, I don't want anything in between
You know, I only wanted fun, and you got me all fucked up on love
I'm coming apart at the seams, pitching myself for leads in other peoples' dreams
We're friends just because we move units

Theme: Music

My true love is a man who never existed at all
He knows every loophole, the art of fine print
Something keeps you faithful when all else in you turns and runs
And so you're preparing to swear every oath
It's better late than the never we've been told before
All my maps will only show me how to lose my way
I haven't got time in my life to watch you drift away
Soon as this wall in my heart comes down, I'm gonna make it feel like home
There's a reason not to want this but I forgot
And the words, they're everything and nothing

lyrics by Vienna Teng (Dreaming Through the Noise album)

Theme: Music

We've still got our health and a twisted sense of fun
Stand up and be counted for your sins and failed love affairs
I am a believer, nothing more
I've been watching the way you move your feet, and I notice the things you never see that will trip you up
The best things grow from the worst disasters, the best things grow when we begin again
And all I need is time to grow up, to grow bored, and to grow wise
I bite my nails, you grow your hair, rebellion's such a hushed affair
And if you're breathing in the morning, make your bed again
I don't know you, but I'm drawing a map of the scars on your skin
We will write you down, we will build you in words

Theme: Music
1. Things that matter too much to say any way but lightly
2. These are the scars that words have carved on me
3. Freedom is being alone, I fear liberation
4. Somehow these pieces must bring back the man you were
5. I would know love again if I had faith enough
6. I'm at your back door with the earth of a hundred nations in my skin
7. I've no intention of confessing today
8. The sacred simplicity of you at my side
9. Everything's fine in the morning
10. The light in me will guide you home
11. A language I don't know but long to learn
12. So come to me my love, I'll tap into your strength and drain it dry
13. You're thinking about how someone died that day, the you that was
so carefully planned
14. We all write our own endings and we all have our own scars
15. Our innocence is all the worse for fears

Theme: Music
1. But I know it's wrong, why do I do it?
2. How much did we lose to live this way?
3. It's not regret, just an unexpected accounting of debts
4. Your dream'll be a nightmare before too long
5. Where do I go when every 'no' turns into 'maybe'?
6. Faith is both the prison and the open hand
7. Mother says years ago this whole world was ours to rule
8. I've done this many times before you, watched the pattern take form
9. Shouldn't there be screaming, praying, crying, anything at all?
10. An old world made new on the same holy ground
11. Call it any name you need; call it your 2.0, your rebirth
12. Let your faith die, bring your wonder
13. I haven't come to say I'm sorry, but I swear I'm on your side
14. So change these rules and let’s cross all the sacred boundaries we’ve overgrown
15. Now we will build you an endlessly upwards world, embrace you for all your worth
16. This is where you come from, the anchor that you can’t leave behind
17. Or maybe this is a test, maybe this is a course correction
18. You never have belonged to me, or should I say not to me alone
19. I want to witness the beauty of your repair
20. May you be always heartbreaking, take a little more than you give

1. That trouble you’ve been looking for came looking for you
2. The list of things I used to be is longer than the list of things I am
3. I haven't found a single way to keep it
4. Maybe you were right all along, I say I'm sorry less than I am wrong
5. Every era is the modern age for the people in it
6. Last night you came to kiss me in a dream
7. You once said if we were careful that we could do this all our lives
8. Easy to please but hard to impress
9. I haven’t met a locked door yet that I couldn’t beat
10. I was counting my losses, wasn’t sure if I should count you
11. I didn’t come looking for love, I didn’t come to pick a fight
12. Blood is blood, and its burden is a beast
13. I know better than to touch you lately
14. I didn’t come to play it safe, I came to win or lose with you
15. Now’s the time to rouse yourself, spend the strength you’ve saved

Theme: Music
1. I wonder just which part of me you think you want to get to know
2. I woke up on a journey, the road ahead in my mind's eye
3. There are no pretty words to say, 'you are fucking up real bad'
4. Pretty girls write prophecies all over the hands of their boys
5. Come for the day and stay a year
6. If you love someone, better make sure he gets free
7. She said, "I'll be here just to watch you grow"
8. I find happiness is changing almost everything I do
9. Won't I die from lack of you?
10. Beginning to think I'm looking too hard for angels lately
11. My made-up mind was not put here for you to try and change
12. I will sing you pirate songs and tell you pirate stories
13. I'm in love with the goddess who lives down the street
14. May you raise your eyes and never bow your head
15. The story is not for anyone else to tell
16. Everything hurts when you fall in love hard enough
17. All of us who dare to love are brave
18. Man cannot follow the monsters
19. If I had known, I'd do it all over, exactly the same
20. I am wide open, only a little afraid
