Is that The Smiths?

>You may think me very naive
>Taken as true
>I only see what I want to see

>Avoid eye contact at all costs
>What can I do
>To see your fine teeth smiling at me

>You might say
>That we should build a city of tears
>All I'm saying
>Is I'm alone and consequently
>Only my tears satisfy the real need of my heart
>I resist

>You say that there's a thousand like you
>Maybe that's true
>I fell or you and nobody else
>So I'm standing here so lonely
>What can i do
>But learn to laugh at myself

>You might say
>That we should build a city of tears
>All I'm saying
>Is I'm alone and consequently
>Only my tears satisfy the real need of my heart
>I resist

>Fall falling…

I'VE TRIED SO HARD AND GOT SO FAR

>DON'T LEAVE ME HIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>DON'T LEAVE ME DRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

We lived alone
My house and I
We had the Earth, we had the sky

>I had a lamp against the dark
>And I was happy as a lark
>We lived alone
>My house and I
>We had the Earth, we had the sky
>I had a lamp against the dark
>And I was happy as a lark
>I had a stove and a window-screen
>I had a table painted green
>Sat on a chair with a broken back
>Wearing a pretty potato sack
>I had a rug upon the floor
>and roses grew around my door

>I had a job
>My wants were few
>They were until I wanted you
>And when I set my eyes on you
>Nothing else would do, nothing else would do

i dreamed about him this morning
please make it fucking stop

>see that young man who dwells inside his body like an uninvited guest

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY
CAN'T I
SEE THE SUNSPOTS
IN
YOUR
EYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

Pay your respects to the vultures
>For they are your future
Our fathers and mothers have
Our fathers and mothers have
They have failed to release us
They have failed to release us
They have failed to release us
Into the welcoming arms
>Of the amethyst deceivers

>feels empty
>the clip feels empty
>but i will go anywhere god sends me

it's the downward spiral
got me suicidal
too scared to do it
so these pills will be the rifle

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, SUICIDE

>Sometimes a man gets carried away
>When he feels like he should be having his fun
>Much too blind to see the damage he's done
>Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really
>He has no one

Oh lord I am saved
Judge says I am fit to swing
'bout time I have prayed
My woman just might wear my ring

Oh you know I'm no good
You know I'm no good at court-ordered goodbyes

But when I'm gone you'll see I'll be a better man yet
For the dispossessed get taken back into your arms
Better keep me close to your heart
You better keep me close to your heart

The defiant had me cornered in a store
And he let me walk out the front door
At the scene of the crime

Hang 'em high
Keep your vows brief
Let 'em swing
Make his swindle an art
And if you still believe
That men guilty of love can't survive
Then Hang 'em high or not at all

Oh no!

Oh you know it get so hard
It just gets so hard going limp in your arms

>If you my love, must think that way
>I'm sure your mind is roamin'
>I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
>But with the country you are goin'

The light.
Their backs.
The conversation.
The couples romancing, so natural.
His friends stare,
With eyes, like the heads of nails.

>Everyday it's something
>Hits me all so cold
>Find me sittin' by myself
>No excuses, then I know

>my finger on the trigger
>I put another clip in that nigger
>But when I look at the body
>I see it was my brother Scotty

>The cracks and lines
>From where you gave up
>Make you an easy man to read
Kills me every time

>Another day on earth has passed me by
>But i have lost all faith in what's outside

I CUT MY ARMS OFF

>i know you well enough to know you never loved me

>and in the darkened underpass I thought oh god my chance has come at last
>but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask

These images are pretty hateful, you bigots.

>They say home is where the heart is, but what a shame, cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same.

>hey moon
>its just you and me tonight
>everyone is asleep

I saw it in your eyes,
Spent countless nights
Awake with thoughts of loving you better
A thousand times, infinite tries
Always on the search for paradise

You know like the back of your hand
who let em in
You got me into this mess so
you get me out.

You know like the back of your hand
Your bell jar.
Your collection.
Ingenue.

You get me into this mess.
Fools rushing in, yeah,
and they know it.

The seeds of the dandelion you blow away.
In good time, i hope, i pray.
If i'm not there now physically,
i'm always before you
come what may.

And you know it.
Fools rushing in
yeah
well you know it.
who let them in?
yeah

well you know it
gone with a touch of your hand
gone with a touch of your hand
move through the moment
though it betrays
transformations
jackals and flames
if i knew now
what i knew then
just give me more time
i hope and pray
i mistake all you say
the seeds of the dandelion you blow away

>I'm not living
>I'm just killing time..

i am my father's son
i am no one
i cannot love
it's in my blood

Black night is fallen,
The sun is gone to bed,
Black night, I am in your eyes,
Black night, take me, try
Black night, I'm at your side
Black night, I've become your bride
Oh, black night, take me inside,
For you have spread me wide
What use, wide eyes, in black night?
In black night's longer sight,
Take me inside!
Take me and make me wide, black night!

>Night after night I was lookin like shit
>Don't nobody understand I was moving like this
>Duffel bag in my hand with them devilish thoughts
>Not thinking about murder, but nothing at all

This whole song man it's too close to home

>Gary's got a boner
>cause Gary's got a boner
>Gary's got a boner
>Gary's got a boner now

>How was I supposed to know how to not get drunk every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and why not Sunday?

>They say i got brains but they ain't doing me no good, I wish they could

I'm down on my hands and knees every time the doorbell rings
I shake like a toothache when I hear myself sing
All my lies are only wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new

I WANT TO CRYYYYYYYyYyYyYyY

we're all Frankies
we're all lying in hell

From the same album:

>ANGELS ARE MATHEMATICAAAAAAL
>ANGELS ARE MATHEMATICAAAAAAAL

>and it's hard to be a human being
>and it's harder than anything else
>and I'm lonesome when you're around
>and I'm never lonesome when I'm by myself

Best thread of this second half of the year.

That's my favorite Modest Mouse song, and probably the only song that kills me every time I listen to it.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite MM song, they're my favorite band. But that song always rips at my soul, especially those lines.

>And so, you're waking to face a change in your role
>And with each restless shiver you wretch from your soul
>You're asking "Oh, is that something I'm not anymore?"
>A brother to shake these broken chords 'til they turn gold?

>Growing up ,really fucking sucks
>I want to fall in love, but I don't love anybody
>And soon, there will be nobody who will want to fall in love with me
>And I'm afraid I don't care
>Sometimes I feel like a dead man
>When I walk around my house
>Petrified of going out
>I couldn't leave to save my life
>I'm a waste of my freedom
>Cuz I've imprisoned myself
>With this crippling lack of wealth
>And my decaying sense of self
>This place has taken all my self esteem
>And everybody is afraid of me
>And I can't make eye contant with anyone I see
>This place has taken all my self esteem

Yeah, fuck divisions and spaces and shit, not like they matter.

>WISH WE COULD TURN BACK TIME
