well. well. well.

i've been a tad M.I.A. lately. in the shitter a litter bit. murky water's are clearing. thanks to those that have checked in. GUARANTEED coming up i'll be sure to have some mighty fine angry/angsty/abominable words to share... but for now i'll let ani do what i cannot...




"so that's how you found me
rain falling around me
lookin' down at a worm
with a long way to go
and the traffic was hissing by
and i was homesick and i was high

i was surrounded by a language
in which i could say only hello
and thank you very much
and you spoke so that i could understand
and i drew a treasure map on your hand

and you were no picnic
and you were no prize
but you had just enough pathos
to keep me hypnotized
hypnotized

the map led to an island
in a sea of store-bought dreams
where soulless singers sang
over beats built by machines

and lovely girls were hovering
above my head like gulls
and their long slender necks
and their delicate skulls

and i was no picnic
i was no prize
but i had just enough sweetness
to keep you hypnotized
hypnotized

so that's how you found me
rain fallin' around me
lookin' down at a worm
with a long way to go"
