The vampires want your blood.
A commentary on the music industry.
House of Heroes
Make a Face Like You Mean It.
Don't bother to show integrity,
it never sells on the market.
Chain all the world down.
Don't fuss with your creativity,
they never asked for an artist.
Take all the heart out.
All the kids want to rock,
but they don't want to sit through another boring chorus.
One or two at the top might give you a shot,
but they don't want to risk any losses.
Take all the heart out.
The vampires want you blood.
You can't always get what you want, but they do.
You can't always get what you want, but they know:
the truth is what they want it to be.
Drop by drop.
The camera flash casts shadows from their egos.
Sing a song like you wrote it.
Puppets don't think, puppets just dance.
Make a face like you mean it.
Welcome to the rest of your life
Was listinening to the S section of the recurrents while fixing a friends computer tonite. And heard an old favorite.
At The Moment
with a sigh i greet the day
i feel the morning on my face
weary at the moment i awake
even as i lie
the thought returns to mind
"welcome to the rest of your life".
somewhere i've lost my way
from saved to stray and failing
in silence my spirit pleads,
"is the vision lost
or has it been passed on?
is there any use continuing?"
my soul will wait
my soul-wait silently
for God, my God(God my refuge)
and i will live
and i know some destiny
still waits for me
his faithfulness, my hope
it brings comfort to my soul
with a still small voice whispering,
"call upon my name and i
will set you up on high
be still and know that i am God
creation speaks to me
i'm stricken to my knees
in reverance and fear
forever my Almighty
the heavens in your hand
surpass the grains of sand
who am i before you
elieonai eli adullam
