When you kiss the base of my spine

Make my body into your shrine

You give me this feeling deep inside

One that I can no longer disguise

While other snakes just shed their skins

Fucked holes pointing out my sins

Even though I realise that history's not on my side

Even though I realise the pioneer skin still curls up in my eyes

If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind

I saw a life before me but now I'm blind

I wanna go to heaven, never been there before

I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more

Flying high upon the gallows

Too messed up to step out of the shadows

A drugged up heart that knows no sorrow

Rescued from this deep dark hole

Stick on these boots and sharpen the nails

Time is nigh for you leather girls

Maybe we should end this race

Vanish while we cannot leave no trace

If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind

I saw a life before me, but now I'm blind

See one-arm film stars on alien beaches

Potted gold and tattooed faces

Harrison murals on the corner, tupperware boxes full of hops

Diazepam dreams there catching streams

Paper dinosaurs flash blue and green

Still I've got a flash-bulb head

Still I've got a flash-bulb head

If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind

I saw a life before me but now I'm blind

I wanna go to heaven, never been there before

I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more

Come along nice, come along dead

Scorpio rising, and paint it red

A psychic equalizer in your head

Come along nice, come along dead

Scorpio rising, and paint it red

A psychic equalizer in your head

They are prepackaged garbage that is played instead of talented hardworking musicians. They are just a group of good looking teens that Disney uses to promote sex to children as well. I also dislike how they are promoting mediocrity.

What about how huge of a corporate sellout they've become? The fact that they aren't capable of playing their own music and have their backup band play them, while they take the credit. The fact they're more merchandise than musicians. They're marketed and target certain demographics just like any other product. Every aspect about them, from their music to their image is controlled and tweaked to maintain and increase popularity. They are a corporate invention that people buy into rather than a soulful inspired musical artist or band.

That's why I personally hate the Jonas Brothers.

It's been a while since I've blogged, so I decided to post up this rant which is dedicated to every celebrity or athlete who has ever won something and couldn’t think of what to say, yet he or she kept on talking.

I have some advice for you. If in some way you allow the aforementioned phrase to seep out of your mouth in a moment of mental confinement, will you do all six of us in the real world a huge favor, and shut the hell up?

Walk away from whatever lectern, camera, microphone or reporter you’re standing in front of, and find something else to do with your idle mind. Preserve for us the precious few seconds you’re wasting so we can do something better with them than listen to you think of something to say after you have just told us you have nothing else to say.

Forget a figure of speech, it’s a bad cliché. Can you possibly think of how it makes us feel to know we are wasting away listening to you think? If I added up the time I’ve waited for someone to say something profound after excusing that phrase from their person, then subtracted that figure from my age of 17, I would be, I don’t know, 2?

The first time I heard someone utter this phrase, I was in primary 2, and too young to recognize figures of speech. I took all things literally. If my father said, "You watch out when we get home, you just wait.", I didn’t laugh it off because he would follow through.

So when someone dare say “I don't know what to say... I’m at a loss for words,” I expect them to stop talking. But, to my surprise, few people do. They take it as an opportunity to soak up as much undeserved attention as possible.

Really? It took effort to form that simplistic-ass sentence and purse your lips to release it? Would you please just shut the …



... I don't know ... I'm frustrated ... I'm walking away now because I'm at a loss for words.
