Let it all out
get it all out
rip it out remove it
don't be alarmed
when the wound begins to bleed

cause we're so scared to find out
what this life's all about
so scared we're going to lose it
not knowing all along
that's exactly what we need

and today I will trust you with the confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
but tomorrow, upon hearing what I did
I will stare at you in disbelief
oh, inconsistent me
crying out for consistency

and you said I know that this will hurt
but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse
If the burden seems too much to bear
Remember
the end will justify the pain it took to get us there

and I'll let it be known
at times I have shown
signs of all my weakness
but somewhere in me
there is strength

and you promise me
that you believe
in time I will defeat this
cause somewhere in me
there is strength

and today I will trust you with the confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
and I'll try my best to just forget
that that man isn't me

reach out to me
make my heart brand new
every beat will be for you
for you

and I know you know
you touched my life
when you touched my heavy heart and made it light

Clint Eastwood is an angry old racist

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 22:35:17 GMT

I just finished watching Grand Torino.
I went into it thinking that this would be an hour and a half of Clint Eastwood being an angry old racist. Although it started as that it turned into an amazing movie. I would highly recommend you go see it. Amazing.

I: The Hole

C E G
Took a step onto the quicksand
I will only be a moment, i promise
i'm right next to this stable land
the thrill, intoxicating
my common sense is put to death
temptation sits their baiting
my conscious sits overshadowed and muffled
in the midst of this moment
and all i can focus on is the feeling
of sinking deeper, my heart lying dormant
C D Asus

G C G C Asus G Asus C
I think of all the places i want to go
of mountain tops dusted with snow
i think of all the wrongs that i want to right
yet i stay bundled tight
choking on the sand that i inhale
mouth full of dust, skin turning pale
choking on the sand that i inhale
waiting....

walk the paths round the chain of lakes
remembering that friend, that i know must hate
me for the times i pushed away
over that creek, it seems so far away
now all i have is my whole in the ground
the sands dried up, and the suns gone down
no photographs to excuse
a wasted afternoon, turns to dusk in the light of the moon

I think of all the places i want to go
down deep in the valley where the river flows
i think of all the people i want to meet
if i could only move my feet
choking on the sand that i inhale
mouth full of dust, the air now stale
choking on the sand that i inhale
waiting...

Take another look and try to find
the person that is hiding, where's he hiding
in plain sight, he's a tricky one
hidden through lying, where's he lying
in the middle of the road, waiting for a sign
the stars are laughing, the stars are laughing

love, hope, gone in the blink of an
I try to find my way home again
lost so long in a familiar
place my heart into your hands of

try not to think of the man you've come to be
try not to sink back into the sand you breathe
the rain has come and now the choice is clear
stay far away from the things that make you disappear

disappear
disappear
disappear
please don't disappear again....
Am i even visible....

II: Building my Castle
em am
Suns up, the heat drying out every drip and i
think back to that hole in the sinking sand
oh that comfortable warmth that i could find back inside
Dragged down by my desire
to be back there, away from this pyre
of a landscape, that i am dying in (coming alive in)
no longer will this process hold me down
i am going back to comfort i am going back to the ground
even though it might kill me, and take down all i love
its call is irresistible, i can't ignore, i can't avoid, i can't shrug it off!

back in that place i realize, to my surprise
that every drop of water has burned up into the sky
and now my peaceful hole of sinking sand i could control
has now become crusted over, the edges crumble with my expectations
but then, i come to the stunning realization, that this could be the beginning of something so much more
that hole may have disappeared through weathered ages but now i have a plan
to build something greater, something stronger, a castle of the likes of those in lore
and as every day passes it seems my mouthfuls of sand
start to turn into walls and towers and moats and bridges
that will never open or close for this is my private
castle made of sand and broken visions

G am em
and i want to be alone...inside this crowded home
and i want to be alone......no one allowed
no one allowed inside!

em am B7
a voice calls out to me
this castle will destroy you
and inside i know its right
that this will be the death of everything yes i know
yet i cant get out of my sight
Break through the walls, screams the wind
and find your way into the wilderness....
its closer than you think
you're just looking in the wrong direction
Stop looking in the wrong direction

Tear down the walls, let your castle fall
tear down the walls, before you can do nothing at all
tear down the walls, let your castle fall
tear down the walls, before you can do nothing at all!!!!

III: The Wilderness
am G Dsus
Started on a walk through the wilderness
lions, tigers, bears, oh my i hope to find
but all i see is mirrored illusions
mirrors of pictures of paintings of lies
The deeper i go, the shallower it seems
the light through the trees, casts a haze of olive green
the blackbirds and cockerels cry out in vain
oh, to see,a familiar scene, to make it home again
Oh, i cant go home....
Not there again...
into that crumbling home
made of sand, made of sand
