Make a Noise - Katie Herzig

2011-09-06T21:21:00.000-07:00

NOT COMPLETE

Look up, you see the sky on fire
Look out, the world is getting higher, now

Believe, that you can change the world
Your dreams, have been living in the cold of silence
So let them out

Find your voice
Find your voice
and make a noise

You try to find the words want to say
You might, be looking much too far away
To recognize we're all disguised

Find your voice
Find your voice
and make a noise

Oh we all were born before the war, but worlds colide
Look at all the people fightning for the same side
We all were born before the war, Worlds colide
You can't have the peace your looking for, without a fight

We all were born before the war, worlds colide
The skys on fire
Look at all people fighting for the same side
    The worlds getting higher

We all were all born before the world
    The skys on fire
If you see you
    The worlds

The skys on fighter
The worlds getting higher

Skys on fire
The worlds getting higher
The skys on fire
The skys on fire

"The End (Isn't Coming)" by The Devil Whale

Teeth by The Devil Whale

They woke up the mountain and said here comes the flood
And the carpenter completed his cage for the pacifist dove
Your pulpits are pounded by midgets afraid of looking up

You can keep screaming at your crystal ball but it just needs a hug

The end isn't coming, its heading by while we mourn
You can come on down from your shiny horse (repeat )

I never meant him any harm - Personal Post

2011-04-13T07:49:00.000-07:00

And my father doesn't know me
though I grew up in his arms.
And the house he built won't hold me
so fragile are the boards
And though I am darker than a storm
I never meant him any harm
No, I never meant him any harm (To Be Born)

I want to relate to my father but I feel like everything has built up that I am this storm. But maybe this will blow over. I am prickly and scared of contact with my father. I shouldn't. He is great and he can relate but I am not allowing it.

But I'm spiny as a tree of fur
And you knew to touch me it would hurt (Untitled No. 3)

How can I learn to relate while being so different?

"To Be Born" by Sayde Price - Lyrics

2011-04-12T10:50:00.000-07:00

I was the only one
was standing there without a gun
and I knew that it was over before I met you
knew it was over before I met you

I had to start a war
Cause my eyes were raw and my fingers sore
From clutching dirt and gaping at the prairie
From clutching dirt and staring at the prairie

And my father doesn't know me
though I grew up in his arms.
And the house he built won't hold me
so fragile are the boards
And though I am darker than a storm
I never meant him any harm
No, I never meant him any harm

Cause I don't live in your bloody hands
and if you slipped into the shaky cage of my ribs you'd understand
That the hole in my throat is just so dusty desert crack
And in that cavern if you will sleep oh I won't think you...
And no I won't think you would ....

Could I love my daughter
as though she was bread and water?
Though she be my own flesh blood skin and bone
Know keep her until I was forced leave her
Until then in my own sweet time I am dead and gone
Until then in my own sweet time I am dead and gone

Cause I don't live in your bloody hands
and if you slipped into the shaky cage of my ribs you'd understand
That the hole in my throat is just so dusty desert crack
And in that cavern if you will sleep oh I won't think you...
And no I won't think you would ....

"Jester" by Sayde Price - Lyrics

2011-04-12T10:48:00.000-07:00

I haven't seen my mother in ages
and my lover he does not exist
and my brother he waits and he listens
and my sisters I love them to death
it's the way that I feel in the morning
before anyone gets up
like the way you feel when it's snowing
oh god I think we're out of luck

It snaps our life from between our shoulder
I get older You get colder
I am your solider but I smolder
when you put me in the fire
I'm made of tin and we're melting into liquid
before we reach the bottom we'll be solid
oh so solid

and hot metal is never too appealing
When you touch it will limp on your skin
And know how it throbs and lingers
to remind you of something you missed
it's Red and golden so swollen
And the stains on your fingers persist
And know how it throbs and lingers
to remind you of something you've missed

That You wouldn't trade all the souls in the world
for the silver I became and his beautiful girl
That You wouldn't trade all the souls in the world
for the silver I became and his beautiful girl

And they will make me sick
Just a taught them all his tricks
Just to show them how to fix
they're heavy little heart
And then they fill/feel so hard

It snaps our life from
between our shoulder I get older You get colder
I am your solider but I smolder when you put me in the fire
I'm made of tin and we're melting into liquid
before we reach the bottom we'll be solid
oh so solid

That you wouldn't trade all the souls in the world
for the silver I became and his beautiful girl
That You wouldn't trade all the souls in the world
for the silver I became and his beautiful girl

"Darling" by Sayde Price - Lyrics

2011-04-12T10:46:00.000-07:00

The sting in your eyes
Is just ash, is just ash
and I'll tell you that

And the way this day goes
is just rusty backlash, rusty backlash

And my pretty little darling
in the morning
I would love you anymore

And my pretty little darling
keeps me hoping for the cause

You've heard all of this before
You've heard all of this before
So how could it hurt
Once more, once more

And would I wear/were? the dust on your knees
I could just flee when the wind blows
And would I wear/were? the skin on your teeth
Used to send meek for a while
Used to send meek for a while

And oh what oh
Was just slow
And oh what oh
Was just slow
And oh what oh
In the rope
Pray for your poor soul
And we'll pray for our poor souls

"You Were Good" by The Devil Whale - Lyrics

2011-04-11T13:19:00.001-07:00

All you are is a shoe-in start
In a sky that no one's watching any
You are the half way line
That kept me up at night
Till I learn to roll over and ignore

You Were Good,
You Were Good,
You Were Good,
But am I good enough?

I want to be the air you breath
I want to cover up your walls of your lung with me
I want to paint my pretty heart across your ????
So everyone who sees you thinks of me

I was Good
I was Good,
I was Good,
but am I good enough?

[Instrumental]

You Were Good,
You Were Good,
You Were Good,
But am I good enough?

"You Don't Need a Place To Go Tonight" by The Devil Whale - Lyrics

2011-04-11T13:18:00.000-07:00

I've never been so scared
to lose anything
I watch the planets fall apart
and I'm okay

Don't ever be concerned
with being understood
It won't do you any good
And I like you just the way you are

I feel in love it made me tight
I watched you sleep, it made me feel like a liar
I broke a mirror it said good luck
I hopped a plane and it wasn't fast enough

You don't need a place to go tonight
I know my arms are out of sight
They're patience as it comes
Cut me open I was bleeding you
My veins and heart were full of you
There was nothing left of me

I feel in love it made me tight
I watched you sleep, it made me feel like a liar
I made a call on Christmas Eve,
I'll be okay, I only need you to breath

[Instrumental]

I feel in love, it made me tight
I watched you sleep, it made me feel like a liar
I watched you sleep I feel in love
so delicate I couldn't wake you up

"Conscience; A Friend, Who Lies.." by The Devil Whale - Lyrics

2011-04-11T13:16:00.001-07:00

You decorate your house
You hope it make a difference
The outside matters on the inside
You fake another smile
For anyone who's watching
The outside matters on the inside

Don't say a word
Prayers aren't always heard

Shouldn't made a call
It wouldn't made a difference
Kind of thought you knew
Broken shiny doll
You creature of indifference
Why do I still need you?

Every night you'd climb in bed
You cried and said God was dead
It's not what you meant it's what you did
Every time a joke would make you laugh
Your conscience said you should cry
Everything will be just fine

Don't say a word
Prayers aren't always heard

Did you read the west was won
with alcohol and guns?
Don't you see how that relates?
When you are staring at the gates
And My heart stutters and breaks
See if you can see me inside

Like the way your mother died
And the way your father crashed his car
They want hang you up with pride

Every time a joke would make you laugh
Conscience said you should cry
What's a conscience anyways
but a friend who lies?
A friend who lies

"Butter for Burns" by The Devil Whale - Lyrics

2011-04-11T13:12:00.001-07:00

Said the pillow to the head
The police can't control
We're soaking wet
I'm losing my color
You're losing respect
You're making a mess

Like a mother, with a warm telegraph
Like a husband in a middle of a thirteen night
Nothing works out like it gets planned

Your love is butter for burns
I read it in a book
It didn't even work
It don't make a difference
Nothing gets solved
Lessons get learned

Just love me when you get scared
The worlds going to move
Before your prepared
Be left with nothing
Except your gray hair
No one who cares
I'm your convenient floatation devices
Disguised as a sea
You'll never think twice

If this plane goes down
I'm saving your life
I'm saving your life

Your love is butter for burns
I read it in a book
It didn't work
It don't make a difference
Nothing gets solved
Lesson get learned

Your love is butter for burns
I read it in a book
It didn't even work
It don't make a difference
Nothing gets solved
Lessons get learned

If this plane goes down
I'm saving your life
If this plane goes down
I'm saving your life
If this plane goes down
I'm saving your life

"Dirt" by Sayde Price - Lyrics

2011-04-10T14:02:00.001-07:00

So will you go
If the weight of your home
grows heavy and old
and leave I suppose
Will it be easy to force you to walk down the road
in the dirt

where your heart spilled
in the dirt
where your heart spilled
in the dirt
where your heart spilled

Will it pain you to know
That this body I borrowed is wearing quite thin
Because I stood there for days
Let the hot summer rain __?_ washing my skin

where your heart spilled
in the dirt
where your heart spilled
in the dirt
where your heart spilled

Honey I told you
That I knew why you were leaving
And Baby the birds knew
that's why they never would stop screaming
Honey I scolded you
And said that I was so damn sick of all
of the dirt

where your heart spilled
in the dirt
Where your heart spilled
in the dirt
where your heart spilled

Sometimes I nurse these hope
And till they were brutal and wild as children
Sometimes I nurse these hope
And till they were brutal and wild as children
Sometimes I nurse these hope
Until I can no longer keep them

So I curse them to their graves
And made them go away
yeah, I cursed them to their graves
and sent them on their way
with all the dirt

where your heart spilled
in the dirt
where your heart spilled
in the dirt
where your heart spilled
in the dirt
...
Where your heart spilled

Sometimes I wrote you notes
As though as you never left me dark and
Sometimes I wrote you notes
As though you never gone off walking
And bright and foreign place
You search for truth you search for grays
Don't mistake these as the ones you left at home
Mistakes these for the notes which I wrote
Don't mistake me as the girl you left alone
in the dirt

where your heart spilled
in the dirt
where your heart spilled
in the dirt
where your heart spilled
in the dirt
where your heart spilled
in the dirt
where your heart spilled
in the dirt
...
where your heart spilled

Personal Post "Are We Wasted"

2011-04-08T10:58:00.000-07:00

Don't know why but I find Greg Holden's song Are We Wasted haunting.
All I have been doing is making excuses as why I can be who I want to be, why I can't succeed, where I should be. All these excuses, I really don't know why and I am just wasting all my time.

I’ve been leaning on words but using them sideways
Making excuses and I don’t know why
Lately I know that I’ve not been trying
Burying things that took me years to find
What is wrong with me?
Tell me are we wasted?
Tell me are we wasting all our time

Yet, if I were to see what I was like a year ago, I would think, how I am wasting less time than that guy. So maybe it's a way to compare.
Maybe I just always think "am I wasting time"

"Made Me A Man" by Isaac Russell - Lyrics

2011-04-07T13:31:00.001-07:00

The trees grows tall
Where I come from
There's no broken hearts
No girls like you
Cause I got so sad
And I cut my hair
If I cut my wrists dear
Would you care?

And the wind blows warm
Where I was born
It kept my Heart from freezing up
But I live here
Darling I fear
My heart is freezing over

You have made me a man
Darling and I wish you well
You and my best friend can go to hell

And I hear your heart
Every time I pray
And I don't pray much but lately
I've been on my knees
Searching for a sign
Hoping that some day she'll change her mind

You have made me a man
Darling and I wish you well
You and my best friend can go to hell

And you don't know why
You cry at night
Lord knows that I've only try
You don't need me
or anyone else
Cause darling you need your medication

You finally spoke your mind
When you said your glad my mother die
I'd rather be a motherless son
Than a worn out slut with no one

You have made me a man
Darling and I wish you well
You and my best friend can go to hell
You and my best friend can go straight down to hell

"Lighthouse" by Isaac Russell - Lyrics

2011-04-07T13:30:00.000-07:00

Testosterone driven boy
Grabs a gun and forsakes his toys
Cause war heroes what we need
Sketching dead by week

So here he stands
He's Not a shell but a different man
He tried to pray with blood stains
But nonetheless prayed again
But it's so hard

Oh a god fearing business man
Dropped a gun to get a bill in hand
Buy his way into the promise land
Cause salvation weather just ain't for him
He says

If there's a light at the end of the tunnel
Is there a lighthouse at the end?
And who controls it? I guess it just depends
On who you'd like

So now the pacifists Holds a knife
Plans to cut himself late at night
The only peaceful way to live is to die
Two of us will make it out in the end

If there's a light at the end of the tunnel
Is there a lighthouse at the end?
And who controls it? I guess it just depends
On who you like
Lord what you need
And what you believe in
It's all the same to me
In the end

And If there's a light at the end of the tunnel
Is there a lighthouse at the end?
And who controls it? I guess it just depends
On who you'd like

"House of Cards" by Isaac Russell - Lyrics

2011-04-07T13:29:00.000-07:00

And this house is built of cards
And the earth is blowing way to hard
Oh because Dad won't stop drinking
and Mom won't stop cheating
herself, the family and me

And so I lie beneath it all
Watch the king and his queen as they fall
They say that diamonds are forever
The hearts aren't that clever
And the suits that we parade they don't mean a thing

But it's never us to blame
A new prescription with a different name
but it tastes the same
So we role the dice and play
and take our chances anyway
And if it starts they are
Banking on my love
One in ten can't save us from
Sad statistic that we've become
Seems like they've already won

And now our home is growing cold
I look at you and you look at me
we turn and fold
Oh it seems that I can't stop drinking
and you, no, can't stop cheating
Yourself, the family and me

But it's never us to blame
A new prescription with a different name
oh, but it tastes the same
So we role the dice and play
and take our chances anyway
And if it starts they will
Banking on my love
One in ten can't save us from
Sad statistic that we've become
Seems like they've already won
Seems like they've already won
Oh Seems like they've already won

"Golden" by Isaac Russell - Lyrics

2011-04-07T13:26:00.000-07:00

Baby girl unhem my heart
cause it's been too long
And the ink in my veins
Scribbles the same song
Those of regret and lose and always pain
And you ain't helping

And you know I'm going to be a scribble in your book
And I'll for... the shirt I never took
And girls like you are always cut too deep
And you don't want me

Cause You want men with muscle-y arms
And not some kid who plays guitar
Girl loves at the door
They call you golden
They call me the chore

Too many times, Too many times I've messed up
And you deserve the stars but girl I'm just a book
For you to read, and like all the rest ....
Did you read enough?

You want men with muscle-y arms
And not some kid who plays guitar
Girl loves at your door
They call you golden
They call me the chore

You trick me in thinking
You want men with muscle-y arms
And not some kid who plays guitar
Girl loves at your door
They call you golden
They call me the chore

"Are We Wasted" by Greg Holden - Lyrics

2011-04-06T14:41:00.000-07:00

I’ve been leaning on words but using them sideways
Making excuses and I don’t know why
Lately I know that I’ve not been trying
Burying things that took me years to find
What is wrong with me?
Tell me are we wasted?
Tell me are we wasting all our time
I reckon we can make it
Making everything both yours and mine
‘Cause we’ve come too far and we both know that we’ve come too far to let it go
The truth comes out but he saw his shadow
So he did away and left us here to climb the hill and fight this battle
So hold on tight until the coast is clear
We are almost there

"Coney Island" by Greg Holden - Lyrics

2011-04-06T14:35:00.001-07:00

Take me to Coney Island
Where the air will clear my mind
Where nobody can hurt me and nobody can push me aside
Take me on the roller-coaster
Show me the mermaid parade
I’ll buy the t-shirts with the fortune we won on arcades
I’m not a gambling man but I’ll win if I can
I’ll take every chance I can get with you
I would take you down to the boardwalk
Where I’d hold your hand all the way
We’d sit by the ocean and wash all our troubles away
If you take me to the circus
Where I wouldn’t be out of place
I could feel like myself despite all the pain on my face
I’m not a gambling man but I’ll win if I can
I’ll take every chance I can get with you
I refuse to go home by myself, all alone
Nobody else understands but you

"Empty Hands" by Greg Holden - Lyrics

2011-04-06T14:29:00.000-07:00

The patriots hang flags outside
That’s how they do it nationwide
But back home we don’t care so much
I might be wrong but that’s how it looks
We listen to the sound of our minds
I feel as though I’m losing time
With hands of glory pushing rhymes
Never been so far before
I drove for days and weeks and more
Hard shoulder where the chaos lies
An invitation to the darker side
I’m holding on, holding on as my life it slips away
Spinning out my mind it twits
More worries than I can seem to list
I’ve served my purpose true and well but I haven’t yet got much to tell
I listen to the panic in my nerves
An agonizing journey home
With empty hands I stand alone
Face my family, face my friends
I’d better turn around and try again
I’m holding on, holding on as my life it slips away

"Hell and Back" by Greg Holden - Lyrics

2011-04-06T14:16:00.001-07:00

I dream of family on the old great plains.
Peyton swears that she knows my name
I’ll go to hell and back
Hell and back for sure
The locals tell me turn around go home
Noone’s safe here how do you not know you’ll go to hell and back
Hell and back for sure
I think of her when I’m out here alone
I think of how she don’t know me
How she don’t know me at all
Now I’ve got some people saying boy calm down
Soon you’ll have nothing with no way to get out but I’ve been to hell and back
Hell and back for sure
The Bobbys stop me every seventeen miles
Got nothing on me but still clean me out they’ve been to hell and back
Hell and back for sure
I think of her when I’m out here alone
I think of how she don’t know me
How she don’t know me at all

"Tower Terrain" by Greg Holden - Lyrics

2011-04-06T13:33:00.000-07:00

I am no longer happy in this tower terrain
I swear I have lost all the reasons I came
So I’ll take one last trip to the bar
Maybe it’ll give me the spark I need
I am no longer teasing with the traps in the streets
There’s mines in this city with appearance so “chic”
The white picket skyline’s gone black and I don’t feel a thing when I’m back
What if I was to get up and go?
Sell my soul to the opposite coast
Only I’d be the one to say when I’m wrong ‘cause I’d sooner be right and gone
I am no longer waiting for my answers to come
My questions are empty and this test it is done
You’re a fool to believe what they say
You only get what you need if you pay

"As Far As I Can" by Greg Holden - Lyrics

2011-04-06T13:26:00.000-07:00

I’m gonna’ leave this memory and I’m never coming back
Gonna’ take with me everything and erase all my tracks
So don’t coming looking ‘cause you won’t find me in the same old places that I use to be
I’ve been living in the same day dream for years
If you’re happy I’ll be happy for you
I hope everything you wanted finds you too but I’m gonna’ get as far as I can from here
As far as I can from here
It won’t be easy ‘cause I’ve worked all my life
Gonna’ trade all this comfort for the edge of a knife
So don’t coming looking ‘cause you won’t find me in the same old places that I used to be
I’ve been living in the same day dream for years
If you’re happy I’ll be happy for you
I hope everything you wanted finds you but I’m gonna’ get as far as I can from here
As far as I can from here

"Following Steps" by Greg Holden - Lyrics

2011-04-06T13:19:00.000-07:00

Following steps like water in lines

I can walk through the streets but I can’t turn back time

I imagine the life that I’m starting to lead

I open my mind and I start to believe

I’m buying a drink of whiskey and ice

It’ll help me to live but it won’t save my life

I have traveled so far from my great British home
I’m here by myself I don’t feel alone
Which way should I turn?
Wanna’ see, Wanna’ feel, Wanna’ learn

The mystery blows
It’s hard and it’s cold but it works
I am never to know what history hides
I can cut through the stone but I won’t see inside
The evidence fades but the legend lives on
What came from the heart can never be wrong

"Bar on A" by Greg Holden - Lyrics

2011-04-06T09:58:00.001-07:00

It’s nobody’s fault
I did this myself
I paid for last night with a weeks worth of wealth
It seemed at the time it was worth what it cost but my head hurts remembering the memories I lost
They said fi I came here with my English charm that by the end of each night I’d have one on each arm
The girls bought me drinks and they tempted me in but they sent me home spinning all lonely again
It makes no difference what city I’m in
The drinks cost the same and they do the same thing
I know it won’t stop ‘till I start up again but I’ve got no intention of getting up out of this bed
In my experiences the memories come back
The good times remain and the headaches they pass
I made some music and I make some friends but I don’t want to feel this way ever again
It makes no difference what city I’m in
The drinks cost the same and they do the same thing
I know it won’t stop ‘till I start up again but I’ve got no intention of getting up out of this bed
