Like An AnimalHe did not pull the spear out for another thrust, as they would have. Rather, he braced it against his abdomen and drove himself onto his quarry, hanging off the shaft until it broke somewhere inside the thrashing bison. The animal went limp mid-stride, crashing to the hard-packed dirt like nothing the onlookers had the vocabulary to describe. They stood astounded; just days before, they had skeptically assessed, even joked about, the dull, crude-looking stone blades he had brought with him, and how he politely declined their effortlessly sharp obsidian knives.   
No one was joking now. They had hunted bison for generations, and the Like An Animal

Not My OwnThis song is not my own  This song, no, it is not my own  I built it with my own two hands, and watched, yes, it has grown  Too much to believe these words are mine alone  Too much to believe their loyalty was ever set in stone   
These verses sing themselves  These verses, yes, they sing themselves  I nurtured them, they bit the hand that feeds, yes, these words fell  From grace to the pits of ever-hungry Hell  From grace to the pits, they snared my mind and dragged me down as well   
Fashioned from sheer will, I told them shield my soul  They brandished it before the world, no Not My Own

Austin Is Still StandingAustin's not going anywhere, you said  And I guess that you were right  Austin is still standing  Where we left it that night   
That car we were supposed to take is gone  Sold it when I moved away  Austin is still standing  Where we left it that day   
And the world will wait  Yes, the world is here to stay  But you and I and everything  We know will fade to gray  Don't pack your bags, no, don't make plans  For once, forget to give a damn  Let's go, we'll sort it out along the way   
Nothing's gonna wait on us, I said  And I guess that I was wrong Austin Is Still Standing

4 Hours of SleepRunnin' on 4 hours of sleep  But thoughts of you keep  Me wide awake  Second wind's kickin' in  I'm feelin' like today's  The day   
If you can hear me  Don't make me wait   
Don't know what to feel anymore  Not sure I know what  I'm looking for  Don't know where to go from here  But I won't try just  Any door   
So I'll just do as I've  Done before   
Looked for you in every face  I searched every gaze  That caught mine  Now insomnia draws from a  Well so deep it  Quenches time   
Today is gone but  Tomo 4 Hours of Sleep

I Dream A Highway

Tue Mar 11, 2008, 6:16 PM
  • Mood: Stuck
Oh I dream a highway back to you love
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vision come and rest my soul
I dream a highway back to you

John, he's kicking out the footlights
The Grand Ole Opry's got a brand new band
Lord, let me die with a hammer in my hand
I dream a highway back to you

I think I'll move down into Memphis
And thank the hatchet man who forked my tongue
I lie and wait until the wagons come
And dream a highway back to you

The getaway kicking up cinders
An empty wagon full of rattling bones
Moon in the mirror on a three-hour jones
I dream a highway back to you

Oh I dream a highway back to you love
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vision come arrest my soul
I dream a highway back to you

Which lover are you, Jack of Diamonds?
Now you be Emmylou and I'll be Gram
I send a letter, don't know who I am
I dream a highway back to you

I'm an indisguisable shade of twilight
Any second now I'm gonna turn myself on
In the blue display of the cool cathode ray
I dream a highway back to you

I wish you knew me, Jack of Diamonds
Fire-riding, wheeling when I lead 'em up
Drank whiskey with my water, sugar in my tea
My sails in rags with the staggers and the jags
I dream a highway back to you

Oh I dream a highway back to you love
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vision come molest my soul
I dream a highway back to you

Now give me some of what you're having
I'll take you as a viper into my head
A knife into my bed, arsenic when I'm fed
I dream a highway back to you

Hang overhead from all directions
Radiation from the porcelain light
Blind and blistered by the morning white
I dream a highway back to you

Sunday morning at the diner
Hollywood trembles on the verge of tears
I watched the waitress for a thousand years
Saw a wheel within a wheel, heard a call within a call
I dreamed a highway back to you

Oh I dream a highway back to you love
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vision come molest my soul
I dream a highway back to you

Step into the light, poor Lazarus
Don't lie alone behind the window shade
Let me see the mark death made
I dream a highway back to you
I dream a highway back to you

What will sustain us through the winter?
Where did last year's lessons go?
Walk me out into the rain and snow
I dream a highway back to you

Oh I dream a highway back to you love
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vision come and bless my soul
I dream a highway back to you

I dream a highway back to you
Oh I dream a highway back to you love
A winding ribbon with a band of gold
A silver vision come and bless my soul
I dream a highway back to you

I write lyrics, short prose, game structure, the occasional screenplay, and whatever else comes to mind. I design automotive and architectural concepts, as well as lawn chairs, suits of half-plate armor, and the like. I fancy myself a polymath, and push myself to the far reaches of all my pursuits. I also feel the need to mention that I love tres leches and girls with chipmunk cheeks and will never get my fill of either.

Heh, wow. Saying that will get ya killed... Or flamed by a bunch of 3tards.

I like Junior, but I'm nowhere near as bad as about 99% of the morons who cheer for him. Besides, he's not even my top guy. (Harvick and Sorenson hold that spot.)

But yeah, Kyle is alright in my book. A bit annoying sometimes, but still, I think he's rather awesome.

It's all good. I've got respect for most of the teams that run in NASCAR these days (as long as they keep the 'creative engineering' to a minimum). Most of the fans, of course, are and always will be rabid and completely irrational.

Heh, "completely irrational" is a severe understatement. Part of the reason I can't stand Junior fans, despite being one myself.
