    I start to think and then I sink
    Into the paper like I was ink
    When I write, I'm trapped between the lines
    And then I escape, when I finish the rhyme

    Early 90's deprivation at its finest. Emo only pretends



    I like country lyrics how they lay it out there regular style.

    Brad Paisley - Still a Guy
    - - - - - -
    These days there's dudes gettin' facials
    Manicured, waxed, and botoxed
    But with deep spray on tans and creamy lotioney hands
    You cain't grip a tackle box

    Yeah, with all of these men linin' up to get neutered
    It's hip now to be feminized
    But, I don't highlight my hair
    I've still got a pair
    Yeah, honey I'm still a guy

    Oh, my eyebrows ain't plucked
    Theres a gun in my truck
    Oh Thank God, I'm still a guy

    Way too many to list, but a few stand out:

    ---------------------------------

    Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
    I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
    And far from flying high in clear blue skies
    I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.

    ---------------------------------

    And, in the end, the love you take
    Is equal to the love you make.

    ---------------------------------
    And, of course, the quote in my sig.

    You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
    Know when to walk away and know when to run.
    You never count you r money when youre sittin at the table.
    Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

    Catholic school,
    as vicious as Roman rule.
    I got my knuckles bruised
    by a lady in black

    As a Law Student this is one of my faves. There is about a 1.5 hour essay question on Criminal Procedure in this verse...

    The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
    In my rear view mirror is the mother f**king law
    I got two choices ya'll pull over the car or
    bounce on the double put the pedal to the floor
    Now I ain't trying to see no highway chase with jake
    Plus I got a few dollars I can fight the case
    So I...pull over to the side of the road
    And I heard "Son do you know why I'm stopping you for?"
    Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hats real low
    Do I look like a mind reader sir, I don't know
    Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo?
    "Well you was doing fifty five in a fifty four"
    "License and registration and step out of the car"
    "Are you carrying a weapon on you I know a lot of you are"
    I ain't stepping out of **** all my papers legit
    "Do you mind if I look round the car a little bit?"
    Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
    And I know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that
    "Aren't you sharp as a tack are some type of lawyer or something?"
    "Or somebody important or something?"
    Nah I ain't pass the bar but I know a little bit
    Enough that you won't illegally search my ****
    "Well see how smart you are when the K-9's come"

    I held my tongue
    As they told me, son,
    Fear is the heart of love.
    So I never went back...

    Love that song.

    [rquoter]He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
    I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
    He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
    Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
    He's my baby
    And I'm his honey
    Never gonna let him go[/rquoter]

    Here are some that I like:

    -------------------------------

    While my heart is a shield
    and I won’t let it down
    While I am so afraid to fail so I won’t even try
    Well how can I say I’m alive

    ------------------------

    The unread book and painful look
    the tv's on, the sound is down
    One long pause, then you begin
    oh look what the cat's brought in

    --------------------------

    So much violence ends in silence
    It's a shame there's no one to blame
    For all the pain that life brings

    -------------------------------

    You can sleep forever, but still you will be tired
    You can stay as cold as stone, but still you won't find peace
    With you I feel I'm the meek leading the blind
    With you I feel I'm just spending wasted time

    --------------------------------------------------

    And if California slides into the ocean
    Like the mystics and statistics say it will
    I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill

    Four lines is enough for the entire song:

    Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
    A time of innocence, a time of confidences
    Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
    Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you

    Did you come here for forgiveness
    Did you come to raise the dead
    Did you come here to play Jesus
    To the lepers in your head

    i've been crawling on my belly
    clearing out what could've been.
    i've been wallowing in my own confused
    insecure delusions
    for a piece to cross me over
    or a word to guide me in.
    i wanna feel the changes coming down.
    i wanna know what i've been hiding in my shadow.
