Limp - Fiona Apple

August 2, 2008

You wanna make me sick;

You wanna lick my wounds,

Dont you, baby?

You want the badge of honour when you save my hide

But youre the one in the way

Of the day of doom, baby

If you need my shame to reclaim your pride

And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists

I never did anything to you, man

But no matter what I try

Youll beat me with your bitter lies

So call me crazy, hold me down

Make me cry; get off now, baby-

It wont be long till youll be

Lying limp in your own hand

You feed the beast I have within me

You wave the red flag, baby you make it run run run

Standing on the sidelines, waving and grinning

You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun

And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists

I never did anything to you, man

But no matter what I try

Youll beat me with your bitter lies

So call me crazy, hold me down

Make me cry; get off now, baby-

It wont be long till youll be

Lying limp in your own hand

All my life is on me now, hail the pages turning
And the futures on the bound, hell dont know my fury
Youre all I need, youre all I need, youre all I need
Youre all I need, youre all I need, youre all I need
Youre all I need - and maybe some faith would
Do me good
I dont know what Im doing, dont know should i
Change my mind, I cant decide, theres too many
Variations to consider
No thing I do dont do no thing but bring me
More to do,
Its true, I do imbue my blue unto myself,
I make it bitter
Baby, lay your head on my lap one more time
Tell me you belong to me
Baby say that its all gonna be alright
I believe that it isnt.

the scope is, or could be far reaching…
you never know what the people
around you could be hiding;
how free does that make you feel?

love’s shield

June 27, 2008

of all my dealings in which love stands before me, shielding me
from certain aspects which are certain depths of life;
A price is still meant to be paid, and I pay it in the profoundness of pain of life

can’t think about anything anymore
all your sulking, all your sweat

and i don’t wanna do it agian, but i’m gonna do it again.
how the hell do i find myself when i’m lost in my head?
gonna fuk it all up again–behind a smile


i can’t go away, all your memory is here

can’t think about anything anymore
all your sulking, all your sweat

and i don’t wanna do it agian, but i’m gonna do it again.
how the hell do i find myself when i’m lost in my head?
gonna fuk it all up again–behind a smile

i can’t go away, all your memory is here

can’t think about anything anymore
all your sulking, all your sweat

and i don’t wanna do it agian, but i’m gonna do it again.
how the hell do i find myself when i’m lost in my head?
gonna fuk it all up again–behind a smile

i can’t go away, all your memory is here

The Law

May 1, 2008

I’m not sure who’s fooling who here, as I’m watching your decay.

We both know you could deflate a Southern hurricane.

It seems like you and your tribe decided you’d rewrite the law:  Segregate the mind from body, from soul.
