Football Fields tentative lyrics

New song.

i'm waiting
for my turn in the line
of catching a football
and it's fine
because it's muddied
unrefined, what's not to try?

you fell down
and the hospital
was calling me
i said it's the wrong person
so i got morphine for you and me
(but enough for three)

they always set you down
but I won't need to
I never picked up
so what's the reason?

with penguins and otters
still looking for partners
can't expect me to act the same
lack of creativity
and hysterical sensibility
do we really need another dare

letting shit be thrown
and everyone's always letting me know
how can you not read
what you aren't supposed to
rules are to be broken
but I'm just joking

she said I'm just joking
so it must be a joke then

they always set you down
but I won't need to
I never picked up
so what's the reason? (what's the need then?)

oh.
(You're just a joke then)

sirensfillingpace

Everybody got lazy
on their way to heaven
They believed it was
straight to hell

while sirens wail
with falling skies
run into shelters
unused goodbye

quite frankly
I'm happy
we never talked

left unsaid
i guess i'd
remember you more

company is cheap
you play
russian roulette

now it's captivated
to prove it was only
cold facisination

Aimless Ideas: Thoughts on Gigs

Well, as a matter of time, we managed to finish up those two gigs that we had lying around and were anticipating to complete.

I'll admit, the 4th of July gig was probably one of THE most un-fun performances I've ever had to sit through. Aside from the shitty intro, and horrendous vocal styling of screaming at Psycho Killer, I could do without.

I think it all went wrong from the moment I realized I loathed half the crowd, no offense to any of them, very courteous of them to allow us to play, nevertheless I felt like the audience was more dead than I was, and the overload of compliments at the end of made it seem more like pity dick-riding than anything else. Thank god it was a short six song setlist.

The anniversary gig was a completely different story though, at first I had doubts due to the previous day's total apathy. But I was more than glad to discover that it would be much more enjoyable than any gig since the Kyle gig. (even if it was a tad ridiculous that Jake had to start swearing as a result of crowd loss)

I was pumped, the crowd seemed much more generous, and there was more variety in the setlist. Although I forgot to say a few things before a handful of songs, (Ceremony was supposed to be dedicated to someone not there) It was fun, fast paced, and very intimate playing in a living room instead of a garage.

For once, I can say I finished a gig while feeling completely good, as other gigs usually had me pissed off more than glad I just finished it. (Of course I hate certain people regardless of how I display myself publicly, you know who you are.)

Either way, It's events during it and it's aftermath were filled with nothing but good feelings, and I really enjoyed the support we got from Katy for photographing, Kyle for filming, and Sonja and her family for generally letting us play. If I would want to have a last gig ever, that would have been the one.

In the end, I think the band might actually live longer than I ever anticipated, and hopefully that means some new material that will be more band focused than my solo ventures (STILL WORKING ON THAT EP!) but I can only predict it, for all I know it can all go wrong, because it has before. I hope not.

Aimless Ideas: Instant Classic

Moving hasn't been as simple as I would have thought, once you get used to things, it's hard to get separated from them. It's easier to see the flaws, to be compare certain things with others, and have a preference for the past.

Although new settings, ideas and views are always appreciated, you never know how much you like anything at all until it's gone.

There seems to be a strange quiet ambiance that howls throughout the house even though I can hear the fridge buzz endlessly, until it disconnects of course.

I'm slowly beginning to worry if Frank is dead, as me and Jaccob haven't been able to contact him in at least three days, four in an hour or so. So perhaps I won't have to play around like a jester for hire in front of people after all.

Well I wonder.
