.....And They Say That Evil Never Sleeps

Black, it bleeds through the wrists that bind me here. Sick and tarnished it leaves me weak. crawl within its shadow that engulfs me, it sinks into fallen knees. It waits until i am not watching - a nightmare i fear, it becomes. with my breath it holds me hostage. Scratching at the walls of my mind until its nails become dull. Synester and sick, it smiles.

it buries its seed

shredded hope feeds it hunger while fear feeds its strength.

Pregnant with chaos, its larva is born from me.

Burrowing deep into the holes of my dreams.

my wounded spirit, its nest.

Maggot like behavior, it sickens me.

multiply, infest and infect.

Pretty little spawns of sin

wretched, they squirm to the surface.

I become what they fear

and they say that evil never sleeps.

Modest Mouse

I have to say this is one of the best bands i could ever listen to. I absolutely love Isaac Brock. He is such a genius in my opinion. The band itself is genius, really. They really are different from the everyday mainstream. i enjoy their sound so much. I like how their lyrics really are thought out and they bring bits and pieces of different instruments in like trumpets and stuff like that. It adds a nice spice to the whole soup, you know?. I cant imagine going on with my life without them (Damn, this is starting to sound a little clingy! lol) i really enjoyed their "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" album as well as their "We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank" album. if i were to have a band, id want to really show pieces of their influence in it. they really inspire me with their uniqueness and solid honesty. Modest Mouse, I believe, is very artistic as well as abstract. In their videos, they give little stories which make it interesting to watch all the way through as well as little collages of things.The video for "Float On" shows just what I'm talking about.
I have been listening to them for a few years now i just cant seem to get enough. my favorite top 13 songs from them are:


1. Dashboard


2.Float On


3.Little Motel


4.Ocean Breathes Salty


5,King Rat


6. We've Got Everything


7.Missed The Boat


8.People As Places


9. Black Cadillacs


10.We've Got It (Almost)


11.Bukowski

12.One Chance

13.Parting Of The Sensory

the list could and can go on. anyways i just adore this band so much.


Long live Modest Mouse!

Submerged

The water is running.

The depth, increasing as I strip and lay.

My ears become full as it takes its first embrace

My conscious head sinks and I begin to hear nothing -

but blurs of the world below that awaits.

Silence starts to surround me, making its way through me

to find its resting place-

while human thoughts subside.

Weight pulling me deeper

as I become a part of this.

At rest - I am.

They cannot find me here.

A safe place of the unknown.

My haven of currents,

My liquid sanctuary,

My humble asylum.

I am at peace now-

but they disagree.

I begin to fear

their eager hands,

abruptly grasping before i am ready.

Breaking the silence-

Only just to speak of thier selfish prominences.

smothering me with thier unjust skin

and defiant ears, hearing only what they wish,

with tyrant toungues that speak so harsh and loud.

But they do not understand.

I am submerged for a reason-

to escape from them in their greed.

but i shall not let it wake me.

Unconsiousness is too precious.

It must not break me.

vulnerable yet so serene

at the bottom I lay.

Submerged from the human world that simply was too much to carry.
